CorderoDeDios Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 [quote name='JP2Iloveyou' date='Mar 1 2005, 11:54 PM'] I refuse to speculate. the church teaches that anyone with unconfessed mortal sin (or someone who has not made a perfect act of contrition in an event where there is no opportunity for sacramental confession) at the time of death is sadly banished to hell for eternity. It is a most unfortunate thing. God is so merciful and his grace so abundant. Can we please not start this again? The Second Vatican Council teaches, and Pope John Paul II affirms in his encyclical Dominus Iesus, that evn those who are not physically members of the Catholic Church can go to Heaven, but if they do it is by Christ and through the Church. There is no other way. This does not exclude someone though, who, through no fault of their own, does not know Christ or his Church. I suggest this thread be closed before this really gets out of hand. [/quote] Does anyone know the precise temperature of Hell? The Church teaches that it's quite hot, but I haven't seen any exact figures. Also, does the temperature fluctuate, like Earthly weather, or does it remain fixed? Any guidance is appreciated.
cmotherofpirl Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Ask God to include the details in His next book.

[/quote] I didn't know He was writing another one. How did I miss that? If He is, I hope He doesn't include any of that "A begat B, who begat C, etc." carp that he put in the last one. That stuff was kinda boring after a while. Edited March 2, 2005 by CorderoDeDios
RemnantRules Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 don't know, don't care...we can't speculate b/c we aren't the person who is face to face with our final judgement.
jinx Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 i dont think that this is mine to speculate because that is putting words in God's mouth, adn that's not cool
MichaelFilo Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 All we know is that there are people already in hell, and we know that many people will go to hell, but shooting off numbers is a waste of time. God bless, Mikey
Cam42 Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Isn't Hell just lleh spelled backwards? I mean it can't be a real place can it? Cam42
curtins Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 no idea how many people go to hell I hope I never get a chance to get a first hand count
dairygirl4u2c Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 I'll round off and say that 10 percent very few are going to hell, 10% think very many are going to hell, and 80% refuse to speculate.
Melchisedec Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Count me in. Im even wearing gasoline laced underwear.
avalia Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Any one else think Hell would be cold? I think I would fear the freezing blizzard of Hell more then the fires after this winter.... Ava

Ava [/quote] According to Dante in the [i]Inferno[/i] , the center of hell (reserved for Satan and the most serious of sinners) is freezing cold. They are frozen in ice.
Paphnutius Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 [quote name='Socrates' date='Mar 11 2005, 02:10 PM'] According to Dante in the [i]Inferno[/i] , the center of hell (reserved for Satan and the most serious of sinners) is freezing cold. They are frozen in ice. [/quote] True. They are forzen in the ice proportionate to the gravity of their sin. Hell by some has been described as a frozen tear drop. one that is never allowed to fall. For those talking about people that are not devout Catholics we must remember as earlier mentioned, that the Church recongizes means of salvation for those that are not in complete unity with the Church. One such example is bastism by desire, there are others. It is just that the Catholic has access to the full means of salvation, namely the sacraments. Melchisedec was on to something about hell making people think. St. Ignatius's meditations were mainly on the pains of hell. It has been used in history to start conversion through imperfect contrition (fearing going to hell so one turns to God). Then they work towards perfect contrition (loving God for who He is and so one turns away from sin out of love of God). We as Christians are called to keep death ever before our eyes. This does not mean thinking about how many or who is going to hell. That is left to God's justice and mercy. All that we can do is pray for God's mecy. For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world!
Tony Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 [quote name='dUSt' date='Mar 1 2005, 01:28 AM'] I don't know how many people are [b]going[/b] to hell but I know how many people are already there. 1, 517, 550 See for yourself: [url="http://philadelphia.areaconnect.com/statistics.htm"]http://philadelphia.areaconnect.com/statistics.htm[/url] [/quote] actually there are only 266 people in Hell.. its in Michigan [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Michigan"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Michigan[/url]
MagiDragon Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 hmmm . . . on a slightly more serious note, doesn't Revelation say that the dragon swept 1/3 of the stars from the sky? i've always kindof thought that implied that about 1/3 of angels became demons . . . and it seems logical to assume that the number of people going to hell could be proportianate. (this is idle speculation of course . . . but it seems to make some sense to me.) Peace, Joe
MC Just Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 i wonder how many lefties are in hell. (Politico lefties)
Philippe Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 didnt Our Lady of Fatima show the girls a picture of leaves falling into Hell then She said "the leaves represent souls going to hell due to impure acts" or something like that. Thats wat a Priest said once
