Hello,
I adore Jesus, I am Catholic, I believe everything the Church teaches, and I am anxious of hell. Now, I have very bad over-scrupulosity, coupled with some bad sinful habits, so please try to be sensitive to this and not want me to burn because I suggest such things. I’m very fragile when it comes to this stuff, even to the point I want to die so I don’t sin anymore. I literally can’t stand the thought of losing God forever. However, I’m going to suggest some things based off the teachings of a Universalism thinker that made some good points and, to my knowledge, did not directly conflict with Church teaching. The guy’s name is Thomas Whittemore.
‘God is the Creator of all men. “He hath made of one blood, all nations of men, to dwell on all the face of the earth.” Acts 17:26 He would not have created intelligent beings, had he known they were to be forever miserable. To suppose that God would bring beings into existence who he knew would be infinite losers by that existence, is to charge him with the utmost malignity. The existence itself would not be a blessing, but a curse; the greatness of which cannot be described. As God is infinite in knowledge, and as he sees the end from the beginning, he must have known before the creation, the result of the existence he was about to confer, and whether, upon the whole, it would be a blessing; and , as he was not under any necessity to create man, being also infinitely benevolent, he could not have conferred an existence that he knew would end in the worst possible consequences to his creatures.’
And there are 99 more proofs this guy gives based on the holy scripture. Now, I beseech you, go easy on me. I’m at the point where I want to die so I don’t sin anymore.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church makes a good point: that anything is possible with God, and that God desires to save all men. My thoughts are that God’s desires will come to pass, one way or another. Does anyone else have similar viewpoints? And if not, please, no need to tell me “they will be tormented day and night forever and ever” or anything like that. I can read. I’m just looking for those that believe "the former things (death, mourning, pain), will pass away.
