Offering

The traditional teaching about hell "raises the problem of evil to impossible heights." Is there any way to reconcile "eternal fire" with a loving God? The difference this makes in how God is portrayed is enormous.

My Journey to Purgatory
The fires of purgatory are the same as the fires of hell, only the purpose and the result are different: so goes the classical doctrine of hell. The debate over purgatory isn't simply a matter of differing interpretations of Scripture. There's much more at stake here.
