Question: About Hell, Godlessness and Sin

[maverickm17]

**1.**Sin is Godlessness, Sin is to be far from God, if one sins he/she is far from God and therefore in Hell? No?

or in a state of Hell, temporary until he/she repents completely from sin.



So the Sinner that doesn’t repent, is in a state of Hell (Godlessness), on earth?

if so, God cannot know the sinner, or help the sinner because he/she doesn’t repent.

do you concur? do you disagree?

2. Will a person be condemned to hell for just one particular sin?

**3.**What is the Fate of a Hypocrite, who attends church, reads the Holy Bible, but doesn’t abide by it all the time?

Hell is an eternal state of being. We live in a state of becoming on earth. As long as our sin is committed in a state of becoming we are not yet fit for judgement. A good meditation for answers to questions like yours is called the Four Last Things. catholicism.org/category/four-last-things

**1.**Sin is Godlessness, Sin is to be far from God, if one sins he/she is far from God and therefore in Hell? No?

If someone rejects God then why would they want to spend eternity with him?

Hell is eternal as is heaven, the only state in the afterlife that you can change from is purgatory but only into heaven. Hell is for people who willingly sin against God and there fellow humans, if they willingly did these things then why would God want to reward them with Heaven? Purgatory is for people who sin unintentionally/mistakenly yet are still trying to find God, most people who go to heaven end up going through purgatory first.

2. Will a person be condemned to hell for just one particular sin?

That is up to God and the person but God also made purgatory for cleansing sinners so they can enter Heaven

**3.**What is the Fate of a Hypocrite, who attends church, reads the Holy Bible, but doesn’t abide by it all the time?

This again is up to God and the person, if the person intentionally sins in full knowledge of the actions sinfulness then it is very possible they could end up in hell but if they are ignorant of the actions true nature then it could still be possible to get into heaven/purgatory.

Then again it is not up to us to decide the fate of other humans, we should leave there judgment up to the individual and God. Lets worry about our own fate first!

Hope this Helps!
