Catholics invented purgatory and limbo. You invent a multi-compartment sheol/hades from Luke 16. You claim animals are souless, yet Nephesh and Psuche, from which "soul" is translated, mean ANIMAL SOUL, see Young's Concordance. Revelation 16:3, Numbers 31:28

"Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures [NEPHESH] ... God created every living [nephesh] creature ... Let the earth bring forth [nephesh] living creatures ... to every beast, every bird and to everything that creepeth wherein there is [nephesh] life." Genesis 1 Yes, even insects are souls.

Nephesh denotes animals in Genesis 9:4, 10, 12, 15, 16, etc. All are souls, as are we. Souls die, be they human or animal.

American Standard 1901 reads at Ecclesiastes 3:21: "Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth?" Solomon challenges your idea. after saying men and beasts die alike. Never does Bible say souls are immortal, deathless eternal. 100 times nephesh/psuche die, are slain, torn by a lion, etc.

The only function of the doctrine of the inherent immortality is to preserve sinners for everlasting agony. Thru the ages children have been traumatized with hellfire. Our Catholic friend, athiest, stuck pins in her arms to remind herself of the torments the nuns held over her. She had nightmares throughout childhood of burning flames. Millions have been so affected. Yet you claim the God who created hell is LOVE! "There is no fear in Love" 1 John 4:18

Hellbreathing preachers-for-hire twist the Word of God to hide the lie: KJV gives 33 translations for Nephesh, 3 for Sheol, translates 3 words, Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus into Hell. They vacuum Jehovah's name from His book tho it's 6,728 times in the original language. How wicked!

People become like the god they worship. Christendom has spilt rivers of blood, sacrificing countless millions in religious wars continuing to this minute. She's a lurking place of demons and every unclean abomination. "By their fruits you shall know them." Spawn of Satan!
