Mr. Buchanan,
I have to admit the pope and I have something else to agree about now. [“Does the pope believe in hell?”]
I have questions, too.
May I ask, where do you get your beliefs from? The church, the pope, or the Bible with your own reading and research?
The Bible is my first choice.
As for hell, I am hopeful you have done your independent reading:
1.) What are the biblical words for hell translated from, and what do they mean?
2.) Is eternal punishment the same as eternal punishing?
3.) What is a soul?
4.) What is spirit?
I think the pope has it correct no matter what “religious dogma” is saying.
As for me, I believe Christ in John 3:16. You can choose Christ and live, or not and perish.
It is not saying the choice is live forever with Christ OR live forever in a “hell” – rather, live or die.
