This is a common question these days. Hell, at times, seems like an injustice. Wallace asks whether it is just for Adolph Hitler to suffer the same fate as his victims.
The doctrine of purgatory says that people suffer to pay for for their own sins. The Bible tells an entirely different story.
This is a very important question! I can tell you whether you’ll make it to Heaven. Seriously. It’s not that difficult.

Bob wants to know why we humans believe that, after we die, we would be sent to a place based on what we did when we lived. He wants proof that Heaven and Hell exist.

Sometimes, the messages I receive are intensely personal. While I try to be sensitive to those involved, I think that many private questions deserve to be published. I would never divulge anyone's identity in a touchy situation, but: if one person asks, chances are good that others struggle over the same issue.
