It’s very simple if you commit sin you are evil if you don’t your are righteous under Gods grace by Christ

Except it’s not that simple. There are only two people who have not sinned. We’re not either of those people. We’re evil. Nothing impure can enter Heaven, and as we’re evil, by your logic we can’t enter Heaven. There’s a subtlety here I don’t think you understand.
 
It is not yours to either accept or reject.

Another way? there is only one way - following Christ. People are free to choose. You are free to choose; but your responsibility starts with you. Worrying or being upset about the rest will produce nothing but distraction from what you need to do - which is, follow Christ.

It is not your point to see; and you have no knowledge whatsoever who if anyone is going to hell, and I seriously doubt anyone else does either.

I have no idea where you have come up with this idea of 6,316, but you need to change whatever you are watching or reading before you endanger your own faith.
 
What part of under Gods grace to be cleansed of evil do you not understand
 
I don’t know if you have been subject to some trauma; but if you need help, then there are a number of things you can do, including speaking with your pastor, and if you are becoming obsessive about it, speaking with a doctor. The internet i not going to calm whatver is disturbing you.
 
6,316 is how much people die every hour. that’s what I stated and assuming 33% of the world believe in Jesus Christ as God and the rest don’t the vast majority are not going to make it it’s pretty simple analogy!
 
Only those without sin make it to heaven everyone else is in purgatory or hell
 
There is a massive difference between “being evil” and “doing evil”.

Everyone is a child of God. Not all choose to be in relationship with God; that is their choice.
 
Every one who sins is committing evil.
a Evil person is one who commits evil acts. look up the definition of evil it means immoral wicked.

I don’t understand how people think there not evil even do they do evil and sin.
 
If God did not think people were evil he would not send them forth to be tortured for sometimes years in purgatory !

I don’t think I’m that great a person, but I don’t think I’m evil either. I’m a child of God who is trying to love God with what little love I have. I am not defined by my sins, but what He has done for me.

🤨 Purgatory is a mercy. It’s a great thing God has given us. What is wrong with Purgatory? Did you expect being rid of venial attachment to sin would be nice? Is healing always nice? Also, Purgatory is outside of time. We don’t know if it’ll be instant or if it’ll take years. Even indulgences are no longer measured in time to reflect this.

Purgatory outside of time ?
It may be mercy but you are still being tortured !

as a person you are judged by the right and wrongs we commit.

Yes. It’s outside of time like Heaven is.

What, do you think they stretch you on a rack? I imagine it’s more like withdrawal symptoms after being addicted. Of course it’s going to hurt. But pain done out of love heals as easily as it is wrought.

I wasn’t talking about judgment. Either way, if what you say is correct, then my right actions don’t matter. I sin. Therefore I am evil. Case closed.
 
Wherever you got this statistic from, it is an AVERAGE of 6,316 people, not actually 6.316. So fewer or more might die daily.

With regard to hell, how do you know the majority go to hell? And if they go to purgatory, they are there to be cleansed to prepare them for heaven, so it is not so bad in the long run.
 
I’m actually amazed all the people who think your not a evil person for committing evil.

Please define what it takes to be called a evil person so?
 
Please don’t despair. That is a disorder that you can easily recover from. Talk to priests and friends.

We shouldn’t dwell on the judgement of others. We don’t know who is going to hell. We can only know about Saints in Heaven through the process of Sainthood, but we don’t determine if people are in Heaven or Hell just like that.

Even Hitler has been baptized, and we cannot say if he’s in Hell or not. If he had, at the moment after he pulled the trigger to his gun to his head, repented in an instant personally to God, then maybe there’s a chance for him. A lot of big ifs, but I hope you get the point. Even the worst of people can be saved because God’s Divine Mercy wants everyone with him.

And you should know that Purgatory isn’t a bad place. It has actually been called a very joyous place from, I think, some Papal Encyclicals, being burned by the fires of God’s love, purified, knowing that they’ll be with God eventually. When is another mystery because time doesn’t exist in the afterlife. The difference of Heaven and Hell is whether you’ll be with God or you are not, so souls in Purgatory and in joy because they are guaranteed to be with God eventually.
