Eternal Hell

Spurred by your endorsement of Ladislaus Boros’ work, do you also believe in the possibility eternal hell—or some version of eternal separation from God—for some beings? – Joe


Dear Joe:

For the unrepentant, separated will, life already IS eternal hell. Hell is an intensity, not a duration. Projecting it along a temporal timeline (what we usually mean by “eternal”—i.e., “lasts forever”) just panders to our own coarsest instincts for retributive justice, and is not in the nature of either God, or our own higher angels.
