Hell🔥: Sentimentalism or Responsibility? | Frank Duff
The notion of hell and eternal punishment is one that the modern mind rejects. Frank Duff, in his book "Hell," questions whether this rejection is based on principle or on a dangerous sentimentality that flees from reality and is afraid to impose even the slightest punishment on the transgressor.
Discover why divine law demands that man pay for his transgressions "to the last penny," a process based on love and responsibility. Duff argues that sentimentality is a consumer product that denies the existence of personal responsibility and sin.
The purpose of hell is not vengeance, but the fate of the hardened offender in the spiritual order who has transformed his life into the ultimate sin of deliberately rejecting God. This candidate has been offered everything, but firmly answers "no." The soul goes there despite everything God can do, for God cannot violate the free will He has granted to man.
Analyze how the denial of personal responsibility can reduce man to the category of "irresponsible" or "virtually an animal." As a consolation in the confusion of this world, let us remember that there is God's superior economy to rectify the mismanagement of justice and human injustice.
