Is God unjust to send people to hell?

May 162008

Many people accuse God of being unjust

for sending people to hell

for all eternity.

Consider however these two things:

1. It is not God who sends people to hell, but people who refuse God's Mercy and wishes to proudly exalt themselves for all eternity. After being enlightened of everything they need to know in order to decide, will they change their minds at all after they render their eternal choice? Will they choose God above themselves? Will they choose true Love instead of human wisdom and pride?

2. Which God will be unjust? The One who after a definite time shall separate the darkness from the Light? Or the One who will forever choose to mingle the Light with the darkness that is not His?

Much of the suffering of people on earth is due to the dual nature of things upon this life. Light and darkness, day and night, good and evil. It is here where the good suffer for the evil things those of the darkness persist in doing. Will a just God forever allow that the good suffer for the evil they have not done?

Per the much cited Law of Attraction, we attract what we vibrate. If we vibrate goodness, we attract it. If we vibrate evil, evil things will happen to us as well. Haven't you wondered then that out of all the evil things the current world has done, it has not yet attracted the frightening recompense it deserves? Whence shall the day of Justice come at all? In truth I say that this world has not yet suffered what it deserves only by virtue of God's Mercy, and by virtue of God allowing the time for this duality of things to exist until the intended harvest is ripe. In truth I say, it is by virtue of the suffering of the good that the evil in this world has not yet been exterminated. Were it not for such, those living in darkness would have long ago received what they deserved.

Why is there eternal punishment in hell?

Many people ask
that if God is good,
why should He punish sinners
for all eternity in hell?
Isn't this so much
and already unjust
in comparison
to the length of time
one has sinned on earth?

I believe that the eternity of hell
does not really depend on the weight of one's sins
for no matter what the weight,
God can forgive us with His unfathomable Mercy.

No matter what the weight,
God can make us pay for it
and we can be released
after we have rendered what has been due.

But hell, as it is hell which is eternal
is not based on the weight
or in the multitude of one's sins
but on the condition of one's heart
when one has already received
all that is needed to be received
in order for the heart to make a choice

When the mortal man realizes
he is no longer mortal,
when the veil of time and space
had been lifted up and he sees,
when he becomes such a spirit
as the angels are,
he will render a judgment upon himself

and he will render an eternal decision
as the angels have made

Will he approach God's Divine Mercy
and accept whatever punishment is due his sins?
Or will he despise all that is God's
and turn to the light which is not Light
with those fallen stars
who will never
ever
bow down again
unto Him
who is just
and who is Love.

Is Eternity a Curse?

Many people work tirelessly just to find out if there is indeed life after death. For the old alchemists, there is no greater joy than to find the elixir of life. In recent times, NDEs or near death experiences have become more prevalent and are sought for proof of the life beyond. We all seem to long for immortality, and not many are willing to accept that this life is all we've got.

But is eternity always a blessing? Shall we be happy to find out the mere fact that we are all eternal and that we shall never really die? Is that the end of all our sufferings?

Many Christians do not think so, for with the existence of eternal life and heaven, the existence of hell also comes into play. For Eastern Religions, too, the succession of never ending reincarnations seem more like a curse than a blessing, a curse that should be broken through enlightenment. For atheists, a vision of a life lived over again is empty compared to the valuable moment that will never pass our way again.

To some extent, I believe in that. In my own belief, "Hell" indeed is being stuck. This curse is hence symbolised by the circle, which is the false symbol of eternity and perfection. The circle is like the number zero, a life lived that merely goes back where it came from and amounts to nothing in the end. It is the eradication of the self and the absorption of everything into nothingness.

Perfection for me is symbolized by the infinity sign, a sign telling us that though life can be eternal, it is not zero, that though there can be unity, the separate persons embracing each other are not eradicated.

This infinity sign however was cut into two circles thru sin, hence, we were trapped in endless and meaningless cycles. We were separated from God and from perfectly loving each other. Hence came the bar between the two circles, a bar remedied by Jesus thru the cross. It is the cross that bridged the gap and restored perfection in infinity, a perfection of love, for where there is no love, there is no need for eternity.
