Worried about my discussion I had with my father about the lost people

[Mihai1995]

I want to know if I made a big sin or not. While discussing with my father about the fate of the lost, I told (about all the lost people) or I made my father understand that (I told these words clearly) all the lost people that will be judged are evil people. Is this a sin? I became worried if I made a sin by putting the banner "evil people" on those that will be judged and punished after the last (and general) resurection.

Please don't feel too bad about this. What you said may be a bit harsh, but I don't think it was a sin. If you feel remorse about what you said, perhaps you can talk with your father again and explain more clearly what you mean; without passing judgement on those who haven't come to the Lord.

Let me say, that I'm not Eastern Orthodox, so perhaps my views are out of line. I'm sure others will respond.

I don’t think it’s a sin. I just think it’s more accurate to say that those who will be condemned are the unrepentant evil people.

but if this is a struggle, tell your priest.

I want to make myself clear. I didn't want to judge these people while discussing this with my father, but my discussion with my father fluctuated as thoughts fluctuate, so these words ("evil people") were probably spoken in my rush to make my father understand what I was talking about.

again, this really is something for your priest. he could help you way more than we can.
