Do most Christians end up in Hell?
Well, plenty of them do, according to reliable sources. The Catholic Church teaches that you do not have to believe everything a canonized saint says (to be in good standing w/ the Church) but the saints are nonetheless believable, as they adhered to the teachings of Christ diligently... Many of the canonized saints have said that very, very few Christians make it to Heaven. One of them said the reason is that many attain to BELIEF but do not go much beyond that (words to that effect).
But I have been to non-Catholic websites as well, where people claim they have been to Hell and seen what it is like. Do I believe everything I see on the i-net? No... but some of it is believable in that it does not contradict Scripture, and even affirms it.
i recall this one story in particular about a woman who was a "devout Christian" until she found out about her husband's affair. True, this story is not the best example (a little extreme because) she killed the woman involved.. and she must not have repented (?) because she ended up in Hell.
A more reliable account was one in which there were seen in Hell false preachers who led congregations (they were pastors) but taught LIES, things that contradict Christ and His Word.. things like "once saved always saved"
So, yeh... We don't always know what to believe
but... Who is going to take chances?
