I don't know why I keep reading these heavy theology books. Well I do know why, I'm hoping to learn more about my own faith so that I can better communicate to those who need more there there in order to believe. Yet I went away from this not really learning anymore than I did from reading discroptions of this work and the author's a Wikipedia page.returnreturnBasically we know hell is a real place. Jesus made this quite clear. The Church but can verify if someone is in heaven (the Saints who have been beatified) but we have no way of verifying for certain that someone is in hell. The Bible teaches that God desires that all men be saved, so who are we to claim that God does not save all men?returnreturnPersonally I am not a universalist (someone who believes everyone will go to heaven) but I hope and pray that God is.
