DOORS OF HELL
Kallitos Ware, retired Bishop, Eastern Orthodox Church, wrote, “God does not condemn us to hell; God wishes all Humans to be saved. He will love us to all eternity, but there will exist the possibility that we do not accept the love and do not respond to it. And the refusal to accept love, the refusal to respond to it, that precisely is the meaning of hell. Hell is not a place where God puts us; it is a place where we put ourselves. The doors of hell, insofar as they have locks, have locks on the inside.”
Hell and Heaven are really not so much places to me as they are persons/beings. Hell is the realm of the devil: Satan. Heaven is the realm of the Father. We are now in eternal life by making our choices for the person/being we choose to be with now and forever.
The locks truly are on the inside… we may open them or leave them closed and locked tight.
“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Jesus
