Who exactly is going to hell?

I missed OWBs post that is quoted by Monkey just above, I will take a critique in another manner.

Is it truly possible to never ever sin? Sure by the power of God it is possible (look at the BV Mary) but even St Francis who is regarded by many to be a wonderful example of living an authentic Christian life called to mind his sinfulness. Sure, if we willingly and knowingly choose to reject God's salvation by committing a serious sin, then we are not acceptable. However, what hope do we really have.

Point to me who has no sin...

 

All you need is love.

Is it truly possible to never ever sin?

Depending on your definition of sin. Jesus said of the people of his day, who believed that to break one letter of the writen black and white law, was to sin: "The world is wrong about sin." Death is the reward for sin, and death has ruled in the minds of mankind since the day of Adam over 2.5 thousand years before the law was given through Moses and forever before that.

But that was only the conception that death is the end. All things die in their changing, even this universal body will one day die. But that is not the end of the universe or all that had evolved as the universal body in its entirety.

The plants and animals that lived 2 billion years ago are dead and gone, but the plants and animals that exist today, each and every one of them, without exception, had their beginnings in those plants and animals that lived 2 billion years ago, in fact they still live in the plants and animals of today, and they will have their day in the sun once again in the resurrection of this universal body, which will one day, descend into the seemingly bottomless pit, from where it originated, only to be resurrected once more.

Universe after universe is like an interminable succession of wheels forever coming into view, forever rolling onward, disappearing and reappearing; forever passing from being to none being, and again from non being to being. In short the constant revolving of the wheel of life in one eternal cycle, according to fixed and immutable laws, is perhaps after all the sum and substance of the philosophy of Buddhism. And this eternal wheel has so to speak, six spokes representing six forms of existence.".....Mon. Williams, Buddhism, pp. 229, 122.

A series of worls following one upon the other, --- each world rising a step higher than the previous world, so that every later world brings to ripeness the seeds that were imbedded in the former, and itself prepares the cosmic seed for the universe that will follow it.

Every universe from the first to the latest, from the smallest to the greatest, which have been created throughout the aeons of eternity, still exist in their independant Space-Time positions within the eternal and boundless Cosmos.

 

I think hell is a realm that spirit gets trapped into based off of the soul, emotional makeup of an individual when they die. When the earthly shells of the body and ego shed upon death, what's left, I believe is someone's core self. A loving person is one that is in harmony with those and their environment around them. its easier for someone at death to harmonize with the great hereafter. To a non-loving, egotistical individual, they are extremely disconsonant with their selves and surroundings. So when they die they remain in a state of disharmony, which many call hell.

 

the asshole cop that drove me to detox instead of just letting me finish the walk home from the bar. I'd like to start with him...

 

Just wondering, do you have scriptural backing for Mary being sinless?

 

Living a life of love and knowledge of your connection to others, to your surroundings, and to God will unite your soul with the spirit of love. Being that fear and hatred are dissonant to the love of the almighty, if you live your life int hat spirit, you will die separated from God's love. That's my take of it anyway.
