Where I'm leaning on the matter is that because Christ paid the ransom to Death for all mankind, everyone is permitted into the eternal and eternally loving presence of God; that is, everyone gets theosis, in a sense. But for those who do not love Christ and do not seek his will, they will experience that continual presence of God as the "all consuming fire" while those who have followed Christ will experience it will all the joy of a continual Paschal celebration.

I could be wrong about this, of course, but this seems consistent with what I've read, and with the opinions of some of the others who have contributed to the thread.

I agree with you.

Evil has no ontology - that is to say, there is no thing that is evil, it\'s just a bunch of death-filled choices. A sort of a deadly void and a total misuse of freedom. And if hell is a literal place, is it not inherently evil? How can a place, a thing, be inherently evil if God created all things and \"saw that it was good?\"
