[Law is not justice but process]

"Is it morally and theologically acceptable to hope anyone goes to hell?"

I just read a post about a man and his daughter who knocked on a woman's door and attacked her. The father raped the woman while the daughter held a gun on her. They also robbed her and then took the woman out in a field and shot her several times while she begged for her life. They found that poor woman dead in that field wearing nothing but a t-shirt. The victim was a teacher who dedicated her life to making people's lives better. They found out she was missing because she failed to show up with some turkeys she had cooked for others.

I hope that father and daughter go to hell. I do not find that to be an immoral position. I know they can gain pardon from the Lord if they repent of their sins even at the last minute. I just hope when they get to the point where they are begging for their lives, they forget to repent until they are up to their armpits in brimstone. When my end comes, perhaps I will repent of this beleif, but right now, from a moral standpoint, hell looks like the only just punishment.

[F.J. Mitchell]

I have often felt that way, over the years, and even now fleetingly feel the same way. I am seventy two now, though and realize just how short and fleeting is the longest life ever recorded upon this earth. I still cannot comprehend eternity, but can comprehend that God can, and that to him, our lives must pass in the blinking of an eye.

All we have to remember is that God is just. I rest my case.
