DaBears, for me the issue is not the "eternity" of Hell. Hell is not subject to our physical time. The important observation is the biblical and New Age implication that God's love never permanently abandons anyone after death. So retrievals from Hell are always possible but never coerced. The important mystery is whether some of the hellbound are so close-minded that they are beyond redemption. This question can never be answered theoretically or on the basis of a few astral visits. It can only be answered by the relentless quest of loving incarnate and discarnate souls who explore and do what it takes to develop strategies to change the energetic make-up of the Hellbound to a vibration that enables their release. Relentless lcving action, not belief is the key.
DaBears, please understand my goal here. I am a Christian and wish everyone would become a Christian. But many Christians are close-minded and unloving. Churches don't turn anyone away. For example, many Christians find incompetent advocates of evolution and then ridicule their inept arguments. In so doing, they conveniently ignore the best biologists who really do know what they're talking about. David Fontana's survey of afterlife evidence is far superior to anything you'll find on the internet. He is decidedly a New Ager, but tries to be as objective as possible and is clearly open-minded enough to elude my Ghetto label. If you progress from Fontana's "Is There an Afterlife?" to a book of experiences outside the New Age movement, you will beel cleansed and empowered by a new sense of intellectual integrity.
Yes, read Fontana, but then read the amazing paranormal experiences in books like Johanna Michaelson's "The Beautiful Side of Evil" or Malachi Martin's "Hostage to the Devil." If you progrss in this way, you will be suprised by how much more confident you become in your developing spiritual discernment. If you read Fontana, post your reactions on this site.

I agree, with most of your statements.. Besides the whole everyone become a Christian.. I believe whatever brings you closest to God, that should be the religion for you.. That would be LOVE in general..
Yes, I will read those books and post what I think about them..
