Episode notes
Hell Chosen Not Imposed
- Hell is locked from the inside; people choose separation from God by free will.
- God's grace extends even in hell, but the incorrigible refuse it, resulting in eternal moral separation.
Hell as Moral Separation
- Hell is a moral, not spatial, separation from God, who is omnipresent.
- Traditional images of hell (fire, ice) are metaphors; the reality is eternal self-chosen separation.
Grace Amidst Incorrigibility
- God's grace is continually extended even to the hard-hearted who risk eternal incorrigibility.
- Scripture warns of this and shows God's ongoing outreach despite human rejection.
