Why God Punishes Sinners in Hell - Marian Friars Minor 

Yes, I totally agree! I get into such a deep sadness thinking I can never keep up being “good” and avoid sin. The idea of dying and going to Hell definitely gets my attention and keeps me moving forward.

@@MarthaMyDear6yea. i know what you mean.

We will pray for them. My name is Amanda and my oldest son’s name is Josue, please pray for him to come back to Church to the Catholic faith life, sacraments. Went to College 😢and it’s not living the Faith. Count with our prayers.

@@amandabritobaez1277 I will! My son also went to college and I am also to blame..I should have done better raising them..God bless

@@inhonorofmary6825 Definitely will keep him in my intentions...thank you for telling me

I will remember to pray for them....thank you for telling me

@@myobnvm Thank you..

Sort out the diabolical and the psychological will follow short after. It’s not a mental illness. You had a spiritual awakening that you weren’t ready for nor grounded enough to make it through. But you’ve seen the other side. God bless

@@JamesHarrison687 I’m on medication that works for some symptoms so I know it’s not a diabolical problem it is a biological problem

@@JamesHarrison687 The Church does not teach this. The Church teaches that there is such a thing as mental illness. In fact, before you can even get an exorcism, many dioceses require that you first get a psychiatric evaluation to rule out psychiatric illness. Fr. Gabriel Amorth said this in his book, (may he rest in peace), and he was an esteemed exorcist. Fr. Ripperberg says this, too. So does Fr. Vincent Lampert. All esteemed exorcists. It's not true that every psychological disorder is a sign of spiritual illness or diabolical presence. Some mental illness is physical in origin--the brain has been damaged, and you can see the actual morphology on brain scans. Brother Caleb, God bless you!

@@chefEmersonWilliams MENTAL illness being PHYSICAL in origin. Is there an example you have of this?

@@chefEmersonWilliams I have Fr Rippergers “Introduction to the Science of Mental Health” I am well aware of everything you mentioned

Except that it is not annihilation. God doesn’t annihilate anything. In fact, in hell, one wishes for death and annihilation, an end to the eternal suffering. And we know because God tells us repeatedly even writing it in our hearts. The injustice occurs when we continue to ignore his graces, his pleas, his love, ever ungrateful. At the end of time at the general judgment, we will see how awful these people really were to God, and we will be happy to see the justice worked accordingly. At our own judgment, we will be held accountable for what we should have known. WILLFUL ignorance is not an excuse, we are told to learn about God so we should know.

It's cause we were created for Goodness, and since that is God, if we sin against Him than that makes the act of sinning evil; It's like if you sin against the Infinite(God) you deserve an infinite punishment. Most of these weren't my thoughts...I read them

'Cause that's the shape of reality! I guess all we can do is get with the program.

It is a vice contrary to the virtue of fortitude. Here is an explanation of it, from a conference by Fr. Ripperger (vice #9): Fortitude (the Willingness to engage the arduous) 1. Magnanimity: the virtue by which one seeks excellence in all things but especially great things 2. Magnificence: the virtue by which one uses his wealth to do great things 3. Patience: the ability to suffer evils 4. Perseverance: the virtue by which one persists in the arduous good until the end is achieved 5. Longanimity: longness of soul; the ability to await the good Vice contra Fortitude 1. fear: the vice in which one has an unmoderated passion arising from the perception of future evil 2. fearlessness: lack of moderated fear 3. audacity: excessive aggressiveness toward imminent danger without reasonable fear 4. presumption: thinking one can attain some end which is beyond him without aid, usually from God 5. ambition: striving for honor above one’s excellence 6. inane glory: seeking honor in those things unworthy of honor 7. pusillanimity: smallness of soul; the habit of not striving for excellence 8. parvificience or stinginess: unwillingness to use one’s wealth to do great things 9. mollities or softness (effeminacy): an unwillingness to put aside pleasure in order to engage the arduous 10. pertinacity: excessive clinging to one’s assertions or intellectual convictions

Hell is real. People choose it by their choices.

Calvinism is predestination. This is not Calvinism. If someone dies with an unrepented mortal sin, e.g. a mortal sexual sin, they will go to hell, simple as that.

"Justice will be manifested in...perfection." "We always have sufficient GRACE... to convert." Calvinists reject both concepts.

This is not Calvinist although it is good to be wary of the Puritanical rigidity of justice without mercy. The difference here is that when the love of God is steadfastly refused, rejected, spat upon, perversely chasing one’s own objectives, and never submitting to God… Then those deeds deserve eternal punishment. rejecting Love itself is terrible. We do forget and ignore that God‘s justice has to be satisfied at some point.
