no one said Purgatory= earth, but I was opining whay Myran said and I was wondering in the past-could there be a plane between earth and purgatory where people are punished as I noted earlier.
After all, some of the saints opined that Enoch and/or Elijah, awaiting their roles in Apoc ch 11 are in different plane-they have not died and been judged, hence cannot be in heaven, limbo of hte fathers is empteid, so they cannot be there still.....some stated there is a sort of paradise they are in, but obviously, no one trekked through the Congo or somewhere and "found" them-hence possible to be kept somewhere else...
can Purgatory exist in different states, some in ice, some in fire, some in darkness, some possibly in the between? that is a question......have read some books on purgatory that suggest not all are in a fire pit, but different levels if you will of purgatory.....
Nimoy is regretably not a great role model, but Myrna and I both liked the show....despite its hosts sins.....
I think yo uare way off based on Khan, I am usually good at film imagery and messages, but do not see that at all-recall the actor is Hispanic, but the character is from india area...so no references as you note.granted, I am terribly Left Brained, but still......usually excellant at movie interpretations......
