The Catholics should listen to this so they will know exactly what that passage says and what it means which will show to them it does not talk about a place called purgatory. Thank you for clarifying it in great detail that will help me to explain it better next time they come and argue with me. God bless.
I believe that "gold, silver, and costly stones" is a reference to the only three things that remain: faith, hope, and love. Those are all that escape the fire and last for eternity.
He's talking about the Church; which only existed after Jesus' death (The Mystery of the Church). We are considered the building blocks of the Church, the Body of Christ. If you build upon that foundation (start your own ministries, preach, etc) and preach the TRUE GOSPEL, then your 'work' (your preaching of the Gospel) will be rewarded with people who found salvation. However, if you build upon that foundation a Gospel that doesn't stick to the Truth, then you're leading people astray, despite you yourself having faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore that 'builder' will lose his 'flock', but he himself shall survive. It's absurd to think that our Lord Jesus Christ gave us everything, but will limit rewards based on what you do here on Earth. He IS Everything, if you're already receiving eternal life, why wouldn't Jesus Christ give you more? Does a believer who sacrifices his own life for a fellow brother or sister and loses everything, going to be rewarded less in Heaven and the New Earth? Does a poor person also stay poor in Heaven? That's silly. God will provide for all, there wont be a single thing you need that He wont give you.
The Bible constantly speaks on eternal reward. Many of Jesus’ parables are directly about eternal reward. It would not be just if someone who was saved on their death bed and a person who was martyred receive the same reward. Both have salvation but one has more reward Colossians 3:24

Colossians 3:24

Thank you,sir
Why do some Catholics use 1 Corinthians 3:15 as proof of purgatory?
But what is the fire? Trials? Or the presence of God?
what translation do you use?
is this bible verses talking about how much u obey god in ur life?
Zecharias 4:9 and Ezra 3:1-2,8-11
i feel sick at the thought of suffering loss at the judgment seat of Christ. Weeping and gnashing of teeth? in heaven? I want to throw up
