Dante Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 Some people believe that if someone goes to Hell they are only there until they truly repent... Just a little bit of info I picked up. It may or may not be true about the people, and I am not in a position to argue whether it is true or not about the theory.
emprworm Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 i dont believe that ppl burn in hell consciously forever. i believe that they are punished in hell for a period of time, then they are annihilated -- they simply no longer exist. basically, what atheists are expecting. There will be justice, however...i do not know how long they will be punished in hell...some longer than others, but it wont be eternal. i really don't know why the catholic church came up with the "eternal hell" doctrine.
quoudam72 Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 i really don't know why the catholic church came up with the "eternal hell" doctrine.Simple answer control of the people the same reason they still use one of the carry overs of the following of Baal by having confessionals. :-X
Acriku Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 The longer the punishment, the stronger fisthold on the masses.
emprworm Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 who knows. a lot of ppl actually believe it, so i dont think anyone can say the reason. they might have believed it
