Sorry, without faith in Christ there is no remission of sins anywhere. After one dies, the next step is Judgement: "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment" Hebrews 9:27 and either faith in Christ justifies you clean or sin judges one dirty and liable.
Interesting that not once did you mention Jesus and forgiveness through Him.
God knows.
Comfortable. Ironic word in this context.
I can just barely understand that someone could choose annihilation over eternal life with Lord. But not eternity so lovingly portrayed by Catholic theologians.
“the sixth torture is the constant company of satan”
Since the Bible teaches us Satan is not in hell, I’m pretty skeptical of this “vision”.
So, are you speaking in support of confession and purgatory?
Or, are you pretending all sin is equal?
I once visited Hell, Michigan. I have never visited Hell, Norway.
Is spiritual Hell like Dante envisioned? I don’t know and hope not to find out. I do believe that there is a “Hell-like” place where the souls of those who follow evil ways and do evil things, and never accept the salvation of Christ, acknowledge their sins, and reform their ways to align themselves with Jesus’ teachings.
And I agree with ZULU’s post # 7, in which he said:
“I think we send ourselves there when we reject God and God’s love....”

Sister Faustina's Vision of Hell
He can still undergo a miraculous transformation to Christianity.
And if not he can go to hell, pretty simple deal.
He quite obviously is a slow learner as he continues pushing his same old theories upon us all.
I don`t know but I think if we believe in the father and his son Jesus Christ we will be saved and since sin can not enter heaven this is taken care of by the fact that our bodies will go to the grave and be destroyed.
That is one way God could keep sin out of heaven.
The body of Jesus was changed with out being destroyed because he was sinless.
Since the Bible teaches us Satan is not in hell, I’m pretty skeptical of this “vision”.
Thanks for the ping. I believe Hell is real, but I am not qualified or authorized to decide who will go there.
There is no forgiveness for sin apart from faith in Christ. There is no purgatory for it or wishing it away. Good deeds do not wipe them away. Only believing in Christ's deeds alone is sufficient.
I’m a Christian and Jesus Christ is my personal saviour.
But I believe good people who are not Christians CAN be saved through Christ’s sacrifice. Are Jews doomed to hell because they don’t believe in Christ? I don’t think so.
Uhh. I think you have two alternatives and God certainly will not force anyone to be in His presence if he/she doesn’t want to be there.
I want to be there. Besides, God is all-knowing. Imagine what you could learn from Him.
No. They make decisions which are inherently evil, see the consequences around them, don’t care and don’t believe in Heaven and Hell as the endpoints of life.
You might consider exploring what “believe” means....
