Some believe the severely wicked and evil will receive some form of severe punishment, and that those who have not been mass murderers but have had multiple sex partners or have not otherwise behave themselves but have not grossly misbehaved will receive some nominal form of punishment. And others believe God is so nice that God will give all but the most evil a blanket amnesty. 

Luke warm is too positive a description for some of these, and too negative a description for some of these especially those who wish they would do better but take few or no measures to further that wish or to turn that wish into a desire.

But God has made it abundantly clear He requires thoughts, acts, deeds, desires, and inclinations which are in accordance with His instructions, and He has made those instructions very, very clear.

I fear for the eternal salvation of each person who I meet, with whom I come in contact, of whom I know, of whose existence I am aware, and of the masses of whom I have not even the slightest inkling; as well as for my own eternal salvation.

I not only have no desire that anyone go to Hell, suffer eternal physical and spiritual torment and eternal depravation of God; but I also have the desire that everyone will attempt to follow God’s instructions and desires, to live a life in accordance with The Way taught by Christ, to love God with the same Divine Love with which God Loves us, and thus attain eternal salvation and eternal happiness in Heaven, united with God in His love for all eternity.

I do, express, and teach these things with writings, sermons, prayer, through providing to other Priests the Liturgical tools they require, and providing the Laity with the Liturgical, prayer, and catechisms tools they need, and through personal example. I am not very proficient, and I am perhaps the least or Text Box: the worst of examples, but I continue making the attempt and hope to continue making this attempt even as I breathe my last breath.

Why? If one asks that question the interrogator or inquirer does not know the first thing about God.

Those who do not acknowledge gravity, and who walk out of a window which is twenty feet above the ground, will fall at great velocity and then be rudely and suddenly stopped when they meet the ground. They also are very likely to be injured and possibly killed in the process.

A person who does acknowledge gravity may use gravity. If the person who went out of the window was in a hospital at the time, and the window was in an operating room, and to take the person in a gurney through the hospital would for some reason cause additional injury to the individual, then a pulley and rope system could be set up whereby the gurney carrying the injured person is lifted through the window, using the weight of several individuals to lift the gurney and the fool it carries into the operating room. The weight of the individuals pulling on the rope is actually the force of gravity of those individuals. Since that gravitational force is greater than the gravitational force of the injured individual, the injured individual is lifted to the window..

One of the principles of chemistry is kindling temperature - the temperature (at standard pressure) at which a material will engage rapid oxidation commonly referred to as “fire”. The temperature at which a material will burn. One who ignores the kindling temperature of various materials and builds a fireplace made of straw will soon learn that it would have been a better idea to build a fireplace of brick or stone.

One is not defeated by acknowledging these principles or absolutes. One is made happier by acknowledging them. The person who continues to ignore the reality of various kindling temperatures for various materials, and insists on building a fireplace made from straw, will in all probability burn down their house and be cold, without shelter, in the winter. But the person who acknowledges the reality that different Text Box:
