One who has sinned on earth consistently and deliberately can return to God and to goodness, but through a course of training and discipline that is more terrible than any hellfire you have ever conceived of.
The burning of flames was a purely material interpretation suited to the development of man at the time that the teaching was put into words―to spirit, the burning of remorse is unutterably greater and more terrible than any suffering of the body, such as being burned.
―Spirit William James
