    Do you actually believe that a loving God will torture people in Hell forever?

    Hell s an allegory of the separation of a soul from grace. God does not punish the wicked, they punish themselves eternally. That is my take on hell.

    Historical Church Leaders Call Pope Antichrist

    Do you actually believe that a loving God will torture people in Hell forever?

    Universalism implies that all will be saved as brothers and sisters of Adam? The Catholic Church teaches that only the grace of God can save humanity. If a person rejects Christianity, I don't think they go to heaven. But the final judgement is not mine to make. If a person, because of no...

    Do you actually believe that a loving God will torture people in Hell forever?

    You seem to be hiding something, or some agenda by not freely revealing the kind of church where you worship. Having said that I also don't think if God is going to judge us based upon which precise positions we took. We will be judged on our works. I am a Roman Catholic and I believe the...

    Historical Moses and Transfiguration

    My theory (Shared by Pope Emeritus Benedict) is that Hell is not a physical place but a state of the soul separated from God completely. To be in such a state, separated from grace, hope, love would be like burning in a pit of fire. The anguish is the "punishment." Torture by God? I don't...
