Sister Faustina's Vision of Hell
"I, Sister Faustina Kowalska, by the order of God, have visited the Abysses of Hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence...the devils were full of hatred for me, but they had to obey me at the command of God, What I have written is but a pale shadow of the things I saw. But I noticed one thing: That most of the souls there are those who disbelieved that there is a hell." (Diary 741)
The Apostle of Divine Mercy |
"Today, I was led by an angel to the Chasms of Hell. It is a place of great torture; how awesomely large and extensive it is! The kinds of tortures I saw: The First Torture that constitutes hell is: The loss of God. The Second is: Perpetual remorse of conscience. The Third is That one's condition will never change. The Fourth is: The fire that will penetrate the soul without destroying it. A terrible suffering since it is a purely spiritual fire, lit by God's anger. The Fifth Torture is: Continual darkness and a terrible suffocating smell, and despite the darkness, the devils and the souls of the damned see each other and all the evil, both of others and their own. The Sixth Torture is: The constant company of Satan. The Seventh Torture is: Horrible despair, hatred of God, vile words, curses and blasphemies. |
These are the Tortures suffered by all the damned together, but that is not the end of the sufferings. |
Catholic ping!
LOL!
Great Catholic thinkers agree with what is considered non-Catholic thought these days.
Jesus taught that there was a hell, there is eternal torment,fire, worms etc. Either /or. Heaven or hell. He NEVER once taught about purgatory or any other way of coming to the Father but through HIM.
The biggest disservice is to teach that there is a purgatory or that something besides the death of Christ is a way to heaven.
As a Protestant, the Catholic catechism definition is plain enough and acceptable to me: What is hell? .... eternal separation from God.
Trejo is a big fat racist.
You just can’t help yourself, can you!
LOL!
She does good works. Rebuke her not.
But not a great one.

That hardly Scripturally suffices:
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 8:12)
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:42)
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (Matthew 25:41)
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:46)
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. (Luke 16:23-24)
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mark 9:47-48)
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Revelation 14:11)

In God's Presence, there is fulness of joy and pleasures forever more; But for those who reject Him, only Everlasting Punishment, so sore! |

On the Great Day of GOD's Judgment, when every motive and deed is exposed by CHRIST's pure eyes, You'll see how you choose to pacify your conscience, with the devils practiced lies! |
Mt.25; Rv.20:10-15; Ps.11:4; Prov.15:3; Heb. 4:12; Rm. 1:18; 2:1-16; 1Tim.4:1,2; Col.2:18; Jn.8:44; 2Thes.2:1-10 |

And as the saints in Glory rejoice, in GOD's heavenly embrace, you'll mourn & weep in torment, for spurning your Day of Grace! |
Rev.21, 22; Prov.1:20ff; 2Co.6:2 |
41 |
So to all who read this, who are yet separated from CHRIST thru sin, We plead, "FORSAKE THE FOOLISH AND LIVE," BY TRULY RECEIVING HIM! |
Is..59:1,2; Prov.6:5; Jn.5:24; -
►CREATION to CONSUMATION – POEM Thanks be to God. |
Depends on if your Catholic or not! I'll put you in the "not" position!
According to Scripture, if Hitler and Bundy repented of their sins before dying, they could be in Heaven right now- Isaiah 1:18-"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
I've heard Ted Bundy accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. Unless he was lying, we'll see him in heaven.

To pray for their salvation seems to imply that condemnation was possible. In other words, one does not pray and sacrifice ardently, for something which is already a sure thing.
This makes think she was not a universalist (which goes against Scripture and Catholic doctrine) but rather a person of deep, wide, and realistic hope.
Your thoughts?
It’s really no different than the Mormon scheme.
Just so that readers not be led astray by omission, let me supply the rest of that passage:
And who ends up there? "In Catholicism," Trejo says, "only really evil dudes like Hitler or Ted Bundy go straight to hell. The rest of us head for purgatory." But this isnt accurate. Many Catholic thinkers, e.g., Augustine and Aquinas, have argued that, in light of the great sin of Adam, the majority of humanity is doomed. Others, e.g., St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and Hans Urs von Balthasar, have argued that, in light of the great love of the new Adam, we can reasonably hope that "all souls" be saved ("especially those in most need" of that mercy, as one of the Fatima prayers puts it). This debate rages on to this day, but has never been settled dogmatically. The Church remains suspended somewhere between doom and hope and rightly so.
....And that is just the downtown of that legendary city.
Have seen pictures of sections that would make you think it is a war zone
Great post.
No, it is NOT in your detailed quoting of multiple scripture, but it is “the bottom line” i.e. eternal separation from God.
