I believe it isn't up to me to say if someone should go to hell, but I do believe in hell..Something I ponder is this ,though...Many terrible things happened to me , as a child, at the hands of other people...The bible tells us we have to forgive those that hurt us and through 25 years of therapy I have forgiven everyone that hurt me, even though, the damage done to me affected my whole life...I not only forgave, but came to see my abusers in the light of love, seeing them as fragile human beings with their own problems...Now if I had been unable to do this, I think it might be me that went to hell..I don't know if anyone else thinks like me or not, but this is something I think about sometimes..

@SW-User Good point in saying its not your job to say who should and who shouldn't go there.
@SW-User Deborah, God understands it takes time to heal. You're an angel. There are only two things that keep a person out of heaven: Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and sins that one has not asked Jesus to forgive, as sin separates us from God. I'm so sorry you had such a hard life. God bless you.

@SW-User I have also been through much therapy and am able to love those who have hurt me. They truly were sick and broken people and treated me as they had been treated. Since I have have have under gone much healing, I do look at the world from a more loving place. 💜
