Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Cyprian were for a fiery hell. Origen tried to give hell a remedial twist, claiming that sinners in hell would eventually be saved. He was followed to a greater or lesser degree by Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa. But Augustine put an end to such soft views of hell. In his book Early Christian Doctrines, Oxford professor J. N. D. Kelly writes: By the fifth century the stern doctrine that sinners will have no second chance after this life and that the fire which will devour them will never be extinguished was everywhere paramount.

As to purgatory, the book Orpheus A General History of Religions states: St. Augustine had held that there was an intermediate state of probation between future felicity and damnation, that of the purification of souls by fire. This is the Orphic [pagan Greek] and Virgilian [pagan Roman] doctrine of Purgatory: there is not a word about it in the Gospels. . . . The doctrine of Purgatory . . . was formulated in the sixth century, and proclaimed a dogma of the Church by the Council of Florence (1439). The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: The Catholic doctrine on purgatory is based on tradition, not Sacred Scripture. With regard to Limbo, Rome s Cardinal Ratzinger admits that it is only a theological hypothesis.

I'm sorry to say sir, but by the sounds of it you have been duped by this world and by satan. I say that in response to you saying "churchy losers." That would imply you are an unbeliever. I don't suppose you were raised in church or ever went there and thus devoted your life to satan and trying, and I stress trying, to undo the Word of God. If only you could be in church with me and see the miracles happening here. A woman was stabbed in the eye with a pencil by her young daughter. Our pastor lept into action by pouring anointing oil on her, laying hands on her and praying to GOd. He slowly pulled the pencil out, the bleeding stopped immediately and there was no puncture in her eye and she retained her vision. Would you mind explaining that in scientific terms for me please? I'm praying for you sir.
