Here are my five questions that I would like to ask my opponent:
1. You cited 1st Corinthians 3:12 to 15 to prove Purgatory, I would like to know what is the "reward" being spoke of here and why the other person whose works were burned does not get it despite of, as you claimed, the "fire" here "purges" that person.
2. In your rebuttal you asserted that we have to suffer temporal punning and said, God forgave David but David still had to suffer the loss of his son as well as other temporal punishments, did not the "temporal punishment" of David by losing his child occurred while he was still alive on Earth and not on the supposedly existing Purgatory?
3. In your rebuttal you said, BUT, we can reject his offered love, and THIS is what will separate us from him. I would like to ask you for your understanding of Romans 9:16 where in it says: It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. Isn't it in fact that salvation is only dependent on God's mercy and not our own will?
4. In the story of the rich man and Lazarus you said, The parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Lk 16:19-31) indicates that there were two parts of hell. Both Lazarus and the rich man died and went to hell, but Lazarus was comforted in Abraham’s bosom while the rich man was in a place of torment. Granting without conceding that this analysis is correct, where do you put Purgatory here?
5. Did Moses ever prescribe in his laws praying for those who are dead?
