Originally posted by lemon limeYes. I remember. And yes, I remember your answer. But that discussion wasn't specifically about eternal torture, while this one is. So, now, if there are ~ say ~ Catholics who find themselves not "saved" and not in "heaven", do you believe they will be destroyed or do you believe they will be tortured for eternity as a punishment? I take it your answer is "I don't know". Is this a fair characterization of your theological stance on this issue?
Do you remember asking me if I thought there will be Catholics in heaven? Yes or no?
-Removed-Yes, I do classify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christians because they are followers of Christ and, not being a Christian anymore, I am not overly concerned with the ideological and theological differences that they have with Catholic and Protestant and Mormon followers of Christ.

Are you directing these little jabs at anyone in particular?
