But if it's they're decision, doesn't that imply they would have the power
to reverse that decision? Christian theologies may differ on interpretation
of hell, but I don't know of any theology that says that once people
are in hell, they can change they're minds and go to heaven instead...
Incidently, I'm just arguing here to see what your response is. Your
interpretation of hell is I think a sensible one - and the only one
that I can think of which makes sense and is consistent with a loving
God
