The Great Debate VI - Purgatory - Stravinskas

Dr. James White vs Fr. Peter Stravinskas 5/31/2001

Is it necessary to have the sins purged of those who are in Christ Jesus before they can go to heaven?

This is the famous/infamous "Pay now, pay later" debate, so named for Dr. Stravinskas' response to a question regarding a passage from Tobit. This debate quickly drifts off of Purgatory to the underlying issue of authority and Rome's claim to it. A very eye-opening dialogue highlighting the difference between the biblical gospel and Rome's gospel of self-righteousness.
