Response to Trent Horn on Purgatory

In this video I respond to Trent Horn's response to my video on purgatory. I address (1) how Trent frames the discussion, (2) his distinction between the "core essence" and "secondary details" of purgatory, and then (3) the evidence from church history, particularly the church fathers, demonstrating that even the minimal conception of postmortem cleansing is not universal (or anywhere close to it) throughout church history. See Trent's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEmA8... Truth Unites is a mixture of apologetics and theology, with an irenic focus. Gavin Ortlund (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) serves as senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai.
