Document Title: "Eternal life and death..
Question from on 04-19-2007:
Doctor i'm not sure if this is in your expertise but i have a question that i think would invole Philosophy if not please direct to the right person if possible. My question is short and that is when reading the Epistle's John but not him alone talk about the gift of eternal life and the eternal death for non believer's. They seem to seperate the eternal death from the Hell fire reserved for Satan and his Angel's. And even Jesus told the sister's of Lazarus that he sleep's. Can you answer this puzzle for me....
Answer by Richard Geraghty on 04-27-2007:
Dear Larry,
The Church teaches that there is only one hell which is ruled by Satan. Those who are in hell are unbelievers who are guilty for their unbelief. Not all unbelievers are guilty if it is not their fault. Also in hell are believers who did not live out their belief. Everybody else will be in heaven because they went through the struggle of being devoted to Christ whether they knew Christ specifically or not.
Dr. Geraghty"
