This is exactly right. God is love and we all reunite with God after this life is over. It might be painful, but it will not be disgusting or unhallowed. Shannon, your mother is with God and God loves her, just as God loves every person, animal, and rock in the universe -- with an intense, searing, driving love. No one has to be a Christian to be loved by God and to be cared for by him.flautist said:I believe that Hell is only temporary. It is a place to go for correction. You see first-hand how much pain you caused in your life on earth that you had not felt sorry for. Unbelievers get all the proof they ever asked for/needed that God and Jesus do exist and they want them to be saved. When the person realizes this, repents of the sins they had been unrepentent of, and come to a belief and relationship in Christ, they ascend to heaven.
Given this, there may very well be people who are in hell for eternity. But these are only the people who are so set against Christ that they wouldn't believe in him if he was standing in front of them, or they were so heartless that they wouldn't care about the pain they caused. I don't think your mother fits either one of these, from what you described.
Heck, when I get to heaven, maybe my mansion will be right next to Stalin's or Hitler's. We can't know for sure, only they and God can.
Would you have mercy on your mother's soul if you were Lord God? Do you believe that God is less virtuous than you? Don't worry a second longer about your mother, because she is doing just fine.
