Yeah but my question is, can you LEARN and advance and LEVEL UP when you're in purgatory or are you trapped with no end in sight?
I should really go and read what the Bible says about this...

But I've always seen Sheol as the real purgatory in the Bible, those verses in that above article are way too vague.

But it makes it sound like the dead hang around in Sheol and don't do anything and just wait for the final judgement.

Quote:Matthew 5:26 Truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.
The "prison" alluded to in verse 25 is purgatory, while the "penny" represents the most minor sins that one commits.

Quote:Toward the end of the Old Testament, God revealed that there will be a resurrection of the dead. Sheol will devour no longer; instead God will swallow up Death. The faithful will be rewarded with everlasting life while the rest will experience eternal contempt. This theology developed further in the intertestamental period.
