Fun fact: Everyone goes to purgatory when they die. You don't see the sorting hat to be placed in Heaven or Hell until the rapture.

[–] missfrizzle@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

yeah but like, would time flow linearly there? why doesn't God just keep the souls on ice and thaw them when ready?

[–] yannic@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Purgatory isn't a place, it's a process. You go through purgatory, not to purgatory. It also helps to think of the afterlife as more of a state than a place, existing outside of time.

Depends on the denomination, I think. Dunno about others but for Orthodox Christians the soul goes to heaven(or gets to be judged by God, actually) after 40 days because that's how long Jesus took to ascend after his death.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Climbing stairs for 40 days sounds like its own hell.

I mean, not that any of it is true, but the rapture shit was made up way later than the "original" text. It's fan fiction essentially.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The common description of what the rapture is, is what came later. The bible does indeed talk about armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ. The idea people are just gonna be pulled into the sky is the non-biblical part.

Well yeah, I've read the majority of the King James bible. I guess you could count me as a Christian for several years, because I was in a church until I wasn't forced to go. Revelation is definitely the most interesting part that was included in that version.

For my branch(es) of evangelicalism growing up, purgatory simply wasn't a concept.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Purgatory was one of the big issues that started the Protestant reformation in the first place.

Bunch of hell-bound papists in this thread, got it. For what it's worth, I'll speak up for y'all with the big guy, but...I don't know that he'll listen. You know, in light of everything.

[–] missfrizzle@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 days ago

average double Predestination enjoyer.

Hey, potatoes are pretty awesome

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

LOL. The Catholics have their issues, but I'm not sure the Evangelicals have much room to be criticizing. You know, in light of everything.

[–] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm such a degenerate, I saw evangelicalism and thought it was a religion for neon genesis evangelion.

Not according to Catholic lore
