How much love did they have to lose? They had NO LOVE for Jesus,

Jesus still loves them even though they reject Him

Imagine hating and hurting someone who loves you more than you ever realized,than when you realize how much that person loved you that you cannot ever do anything to ever feel that love from them ever again even though they don't stop loving you. Imagine how much that would burn when that someone is God

If they didn't love Jesus - who is THE WORD here on earth- they never knew HIM. So they never had that love towards HIM to loose.

Jesus' love doesn't keep one out of hell because Jesus loves all. And there will be more that go to hell, than don't according to Scripture.

Those are the ones who never accepted Jesus' love. And JESUS IS THE WORD. If one places anything above HIS WORD, they don't love HIM. Man made teachings/doctrine is designed to rob people of HIS WORD alone.

And HIS WORD is very explicit what hell is like. If one doesn't take HIM at His Word - they have no love for HIM.

Matt 15:8-9 "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"

Do you thing those Scriptures will be heeded by Catholics? I doubt it, because they don't love THE WORD/Jesus.
