…The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God…. CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH 1035
…the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into #hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, “eternal fire.”
What does the church teach about Hell? The Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death.. #catholic #hell

(3) Todays tweets will show where in scripture these instances can be found. One needs to look no further then Matthew 16:18-19. Christ
Christ tells Peter in Luke 22:32 “I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. ….strengthen your brothers.”
(4) … specifically singles out Peter by saying, ” you are Peter, & upon this rock I will build my church.” Peter uses this authority in NT

Yes it is: 1 John 5:16-17 MT @dunkball: Mortal sin… not in the bible. Jesus looks at all Sin as the same. No such thing
Amen! RT @dunkball: we can probably both agree that Jesus died for our sins & offers us eternal life. If we confess our sins to him! Amen.
“….All wrong doing is sin, but there is sin which is not mortal” (1 Jn 5:16-17)
We were asked via 810-37-FACTS. “Where in scripture can I find the difference in sin? Venial and Mortal?” The answer? 1 John 5:16-17
Mortal sin must meet 3 conditions: (1) The sin must be a grave matter (2) Committed with full knowledge (3) deliberate consent - CCC 1857
I don’t understand how anyone could read v. 17 & come away with that understanding. RT @dunkball: Verse 17 says that all wrong doing is Sin
Today is the third Sunday of Lent. The gospel comes from St. John, chapter 4:. ““Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty…”
