About eternity and why not a chance of change?

[Justin_Mary]

Second question: Based on the fact that you don’t know, can you sleep at night thinking that he might be eternally tormented?

I remember all the good I know that person did, especially on a personal & intimate level. Then pray God remembers those moments & takes them into account.

For whatever reason that’s been good enough for me. Sometimes I pray for weeks after they pass, sometimes I continue even today.

But yeah, even in this life I know my daughter makes decisions that makes life difficult for her. I try to help as much as I can. Were she to pass, I have no idea what would happen, but I’ll continue to help best I can, the only way I know how.

 

[John10]

My understanding is that once we leave this world we no longer have free will (cannot repent or sin anymore). Therefore our final choice for or against God before we die becomes permanent.

Many think this will not be that “bad” since you can live a relatively “good” life on earth without caring too much about God or His commandments, however we will sadly realize that any and all goodness is only contained in God. Therefore we are left only with everything which is not good: pain, suffering, regret, sadness, bitterness and unhappiness for all eternity (not to mention the continual companionship of the many demons who are in Hell). As well as the horrifying torment of the spiritual fires of Hell, which torture the soul but never destroy it. However I have not doubt the worst torment of Hell is knowing we have lost God, and therefore lost everything, nothing compares to this and it is hard to understand while we remain on Earth but we can at least understand it. Those who are ill, know all too well just how precious being healthy is. Well, the same could be said of those suffering in Hell and those Blessed in Heaven. That destiny will not change for all eternity.

I cannot think of a worse fate than that, even if I had the most successful and happy life on earth it would be meaningless.

God Bless

Indeed, they flee from God’s sight on account of their sins. God could invite them into Heaven, but they would refuse, considering Heaven more intolerable than Hell. God is a consuming fire, and someone in a state of mortal sin cannot tolerate being in His presence.

Furthermore, anyone who thinks they’ll enjoy company in Hell need only visit a prison to see how wrong they are. Rather than esteeming one another for their crimes, wicked men fear one another and hold those more evil than them in contempt.

why does our choice become irrevocable after death, how a soul for all eternity want sin and suffering? Or why after a time in Hell, the souls don’t change minds

Spirits who wind up outside of God’s Kingdom - have willfully chosen to oppose God/Love/Truth - with all their mind heart soul and strength… than dwell too much on Hell

T’is better to fully embrace and learn all one can - from Jesus, for instance - about Love and Truth the the Sort of Behavior that most yearn that everyone exhibited.

Recommendation:
Prayerfully (Yes Ask God to Guide You) Study the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament.

There is no time to change in eternity; what’s more there are those who demonize themselves to the point where they rather curse God and hate, than to repent and love God and neighbor. Any trace of God’s grace and goodness which a soul may have had while on earth is completely absent in hell.

But this isn’t about making good grades at school. This isn’t ‘Gee, if only she’d worked harder she would have been able to get a good job’. This is not about picking the wrong person in marriage and having a miserable life. We aren’t talking about the usual worries and concerns that keep normal parents wide awake at night worrying. This is eternal damnation.

Can I just repeat that? It is damnation. For eternity. That’s forever. Never ending. For all time. Without end.

I can only say again that I am totally nonplussed by the way that this is treated. Every indication given to me is that any given individual has a level of concern about it which is totally at odds with the utter horror which might lie in wait.
