No Hell
Imagine you are God. Perfect in all things.
Creator of all you behold. All Perfection.
Oops, except that patch aver there that people call hell.
That place that is such a thorn in your ass because Hell is where your mistakes are. All the souls you screwed up on when you were creating all those other Perfect things.
Come on guys. If God is Perfect there can be no Hell.
God does not screw up.
God owns all the universe. He is not likely to give up any of it to a Satan to rule over. God is too greedy for that.
This is the logical answer and if you want to test the theory, just apply it to yourself.
Whatever you do for a living, would you collect your failures and keep them at home beside your good accomplishments. Of course not.
Why would we think that God would.
What percentage of your house would you give up if as some think there are more failures than successes.
How little of the universe would God be left with if this were so. Come on!!!
Regards
DL

Hell

If evil is as rampant as some believe your 20% might not fit.
That seems like a lousy score for God though.

Are we thinking that God sits back happily looking at His garbage in the back corner of Heaven.
I think not. I think that there are no failures from God.

Re: Hell
Your right the carrot and stick philosophy is old and strong.
Jesus fought His strongest against this policy. Turn the other cheek.
His forgiving nature should have given us a hint as to the depth of God's forgiveness. We missed it.
Jesus tried to civilize a nation that was not quite ready for it. His countrymen where too happy to stone anyone for anything. Life was cheap.
A Hell to me is a non starter. Hell would be a depository of God's mistakes. He cannot do mistakes so how then can a hell exist.

Re: Stick to the Topic
Absolutely right , I digress too much.
I am rushed at some points in time and may not focus as well as I could. Please remember that to me this is a is sort of a no brain er. This of course is from my own point of view.
I stand chastised.
If I may take advantage of our contact, it happens that I was going to check with you to see if the Vatican gets involved with the Internet or forums etc..
