Hell is above our pay grade to even speculate.<br />My faith has been informed by the blessing of having a Roman Catholic father and a fundamentalist/Evangelical mother.

Let us let God's love transform us so that we can truly love God and our neighbor...and ourselves. <br />The Gospel is for all people.<br />God’s love and Spirit is poured out on all flesh, in every tradition whether we are aware or not!<br /><br />Wanting to also mention that even if you do believe that hell avoidance is the main action of the Gospel, you are still my family in Christ. No need for us to argue, you are loved and not an enemy. We can quite possibly agree that in the end, we will be judged by Love and that is not something to fear.

Racism: You Cannot Heal or Change What You Won't Acknowledge- Author Unknown
This one was very hard to do But in light of George Floyd and so many others it must be shared. It is personal and I share my shame. It is a healthy shame today. A shame that I can understand. Not a toxic shame that screams defective. A loving shame that points to the evil and arrogance we were never intended to indulge. In a way it is a confession and testimony of change. I fear it because the toxic shame whispers “you will be judged” yet the Spirit is saying in vulnerability and grace there is healing, not only for yourself but others.
