Why the Catholic Church Lied About Immortal Souls - SHOCKING TRUTH

0:00 So why do so many Christians believe that the dead go straight to heaven or hell? Well, mainly because the church needed money. If the Pope can empty purgatory, why would he not do so out of love rather than for money? My God, who is this Martin Luther? So much grace for so little coin. With this indulgence, I can absolve any sin. I can even save the soul of the man who violates the mother of God herself. Before Christ, the early Israelites believed that the dead were waiting for the promised resurrection. They would say things like, they gathered to their fathers or sleeping with their fathers when someone died. And in Jesus' day, we read that the conservative and progressive parties argued between themselves as to whether or not there would be a resurrection. Interesting that today, it is the exact opposite belief.
