Episode 116 of asking Trent to respond to the "Yahweh was just a storm god" argument some atheists make (thank you for mentioning the subject in a recent video).
Episode 106 of reminding people to keep praying for the Horns and the Kirks.

“Only an insane person would pick eternal torment over eternal bliss.”

This guy really doesn’t know people all that well.

I read The Brothers Karamazov last year, and I think the character Dmitri shows how someone can repeatedly reject what is good and in their best interest without going to extreme examples like murder. Some of it is loving sin, some of it is rejecting mercy, insisting on applying your own sense of justice to yourself- choosing to wallow in the mud because you feel that's where you belong. People do this all the time in life. Choosing hell shouldn't seem extraordinary when choosing to live in hell while alive is fairly mundane.

Grew up trad cat Latin Mass Catholic, After getting diagnosed and starting adhd meds in my late 20’s 90% of my sinful thoughts simmered down. We need to take a look at mental health and sin. I always thought I was just sinful, and I was, but did it have to be that hard? No.

The fact that there is a Final Judgment, and not a Final Salvation, indicates that the damned are separated from the saved.

I’m here for part two because Trent left us on a cliff hanger and now I’m forced to watch.

Wonderful ending to a very enlightening video: for the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us and the whole world

I’ve always liked the idea that heaven would inevitably be hell for those that have rejected God, for they cannot recognize good as good.

Of course, treatment for those that choose Hell is a must.

It's called Repentance and Penance.

At the end of the world, God will separate people into two groups - the saved and the damned.

The saints will say to God "Thy will be done"

God will say to the damned "Thy will be done"

This has to be one of my favorite videos you've posted so far, this really digs deep where I had questions. I feel so much lighter with a better understanding of the dialogs about this topic. Thank you SO MUCH Trent for all you do, and for this!!!! God bless you always❤
