I hope that eventually hell will be empty and all will be forgiven. But I think that justice will have to be served first. There are lot's of Christians on this earth that are as coniving as the imagination will allow. And of course there's the non-Christians that are as coniving and evil as the imagination will allow. I believe justice needs to be served. I told my neighbor that a motor they have making a waterfall in their backyard may be waking up my grandson in the middle of the night. They didn't give a damn. I prayed that something bad would happen to them and someone threw a brick at their car two days later. They called the cops and I was under scrutiny. It did get their attention and they are now willing to let me bring in an engineer to quiet the motor. That of course is preety minor compared to some of the other things that have happened to me and my kids family etc. I believe in forgiveness but I also believe in justice. If someone is allowed to continue in their evil maliciousness others will be hurt. Justice needs to be served. If someone is truly sorry and would never offend again maybe total forgiveness is in order.
