Hi Rose

I received that too hun. xxx

*sits on hands n zips up mouth*

through my door this morning ( and also prompted by a streak of 'devil may care' recklessness that I inherited from my mother , a lapsed Catholic incidently , lol)

Does 'Hell' exist? as a real place of eternal torment?

Can one place a 'rating' on sins commited before one is sent to 'Hell'... is Hitler rated as a 10, whilst the adulterer registers a 2 or 3 on the scale..... do they both end up in the same place?

if Hitler repented, but the adulterer did not.... who (if either) would make it to heaven?

Do you agree with the words of the late pope John Paul II ?
“Rather than a physical place, hell is the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy.”

Is 'hell' (as I think I believe) simply that period (and not necessarily after dying) of ' absolute knowledge' of one's own failings as a human being? the realisation of what one could and should have done for others before one shuffled off this mortal coil?

polite and respectful debate welcomed...any nastiness and I will delete :)
