Question: why would the Virgin Mary tell these children that, in order to save the souls of Russians, the world would have to devote themselves to her Immaculate heart and not to Christ. Why is it Mary glorifying herself and not God?The Whole Truth About Fatima.
The Great Secret.
The Vision of Hell. As Our Lady spoke these last words, She opened Her hands once more, as She had done during the two previous months.The rays of light seemed to penetrate the earth,and we saw as it were a sea of fire. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselfs together with great clouds of smoke, now falling back on every side like sparks in huge fires, without weight or equilibrium, amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear.The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful and unknow animals, black and transparent like burning coals.

“You have seen Hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart…”
Fatima July 13 1917

the purpose of eternal punishment is JUSTICE. Herein lies the reason that God had to pay our price: because one mortal sin merits an INFINITE debt:This is why I mentioned that such a situation would lack any good purpose: it improves the lot of neither the saved nor the unsaved.
they don’t believe in eternal torment in hell? have them check out this on my site:
Darth Vader, Lust, and Hell.
Have em read it or use the arguments yourself. To prefer a piece of fruit, a mere finite, CREATED physical pleasure, to the UNcreated, Infinite, Unbounded Love, is to say that the finite pleasure is superior to the Infinite Good, and that is infinitely INSULTING How does a finite creature repay an infinite insult? If Christ is just A god and not THE God, then our sins are not payed for.
They brought up the “myth” of hell, and how could a loving God sentence someone to eternal fire for 70 years of sin? They said eternal death is oblivion–no existence at all. I said, “You don’t believe in hell? Once again, you gentlemen are refuting the very words of Jesus, and that is a very dangerous thing to do.”Bill wrote:
the issue isn’t how long one has sinned. for if that were true, then their argument would be valid, at least from reaason. It’s rather what someone is SAYING by what they are doing.
Again, see my article above. Every woman is created in the image and likeness of God, and called to live forever in union with God, to possess the Infinite Love of God, to receive it, to receive the love of the saints, and to offer herself back to God and the saints in love forever. The sum of this love, simply in God, let alone from the saints and what she herself offers, which is itself a gift of God, is IMMEASURABLE, both in quantity and duration.
so when some arrogant and depraved young man rapes the girl and considers her a mere finite object to be used and then discarded, when, in reality, she is priceless and called to possess infinite unending love, how does he repay that INSULT? For even in the instant in which he regards the girl as a just a finite object whose only worth is to provide him a temporary pleasure, he ALREADY deserveds eternal punishment, and this sin takes but an instant.
Indeed, JW’s do not even understand the basic essence of Christianity.
