    frustration and emptiness of life without God

    – Mortal sin (grave matter, consent, and full

    knowledge)
    – Those who die in a state of mortal sin
    – Those who willfully turn away from God and persist

    in it until the end


    – To die in mortal sin, without repentance and

    seeking refuge in the compassionate love of God,


    implies remaining separated from God forever
    because of free choice

    Nature of Hell

    great love he can desire only the salvation to the


    beings that he created

    God
    Pains of Hell
    – Pain of loss is the eternal privation of the vision or

    union with God. It means existing without reason or


    purpose, an absolute lack of meaning and a state of
    absolute unhappiness.
    – Pain of sense is the great fire of hell that torments

    the soul and body. They shall ever be dying but


    never die hence it is called eternal death
    – No end to their suffering

    How do the damned suffer from the pain of loss?


    – By their separation from God and from all good

    – The damned shall suffer from remorse or

    conscience
    – There is despair of their salvation

    How are the damned tormented by the pain of sense?


    – The very condition that hell if where only horror,

    calamity, and misery are to be found


    – The torment of internal and external senses
    – The company of reprobates and devils long whom

    only hatred reigns


    – The eternal remorse of conscience due the

    corruption of sin, along with the despair, hatred and


    anger that it produces

    Properties of the pains of Hell


    – Eternity- duration that cannot and will not end. The

    pains of hell will last forever.


    – Unequal intensity which depends on the
    importance and number of mortal sins committed
    in life

    What does this teaching on hell for us?


    – Is an urgent appeal for conversion
    – Call for man to use his sense of responsibility

    – It must not create anxiety or despair but is a

    necessary and healthy reminder of freedom within


    the proclamation

    Parousia
    – A greek word meaning apparition or presence
    – It marks the definitive triumph of christ over sin and

    death
    – It is culmination of the history of salvation: the

    plans of God will reach complete fulfillment in a


    renewed universe inhabited by glorious bodies
    – Refers to christ’s coming in glory “as judge of the

    living and the dead” (Acts 10: 42)’ “to bring


    salvation to those who eagerly await him” (Heb 9:
    28)
