Ordinary 33

The truth about Hell. There is a Hell. If there were no Hell, then there was really no Free Will. If there were no Hell, then the Justice of God is just a figure of speech. If there were no Hell, Jesus was only talking about being confined to the garbage dump in Jerusalem. If there were no Hell, then the Holy Spirit misled the Church that teaches us there is a Hell.

There is a Hell. We can not say for certainty who is confined to Hell for all Eternity. It is not ours to judge. We can not know the full extent of God's Mercy and what may have happened at the moment of death. Of course it is foolish to rely upon a death bed conversion. "If you live well, you will die well." speaks about living in a State of Grace. Don't play with fire.

There is a Hell and it is eternal. There is no second chance or time off for good behavior. We often rely upon getting a second chance to correct wrongs. It is follish to think we could prove our love of God by being good in Hell. Wouldn't Satan have repented by now if there were a second chance?
