Are there definitely souls there? Jesus did not say.


To believe as you appear to that there are not souls in hell, is to believe that ALL people die in a State of Grace, or said differently that NO ONE HAS EVER died in mortal sin. Is that what you believe?

Perhaps hell is a place that is simply far from God while heaven is a place nearer to God.

Since none of us are without sin and none are completely void of goodness, and the degree of purity varies from throughout all mankind, then there would be multiple levels of "hell" and "heaven".
