A question to those who believe in seances/talking to the dead: How do you explain the fact that the contactees never ended up in hell?

Contrary to the claims by christianity, by which only a minority go to heaven, and the rest burns?

Well, you make reference to a very limited (and some might say “un-Christian”) view of Christianity. Many Christians hold an understanding that the light and forgiveness of Jesus’ love means all are forgiven.

The idea of a judging condemnatory God is one that began to be promulgated when the Romans took over the control of the Church and began to see it as a power structure, which is much different from the sentiment o fetch Gospel and the teachings of Paul.

I think this is a fabulous question. One I’ve never once considered.
You are referring to “the eye of a needle” Jesus spoke about? I think he was exaggerating to make a point. Who would ever believe that rich people cannot enter Heaven? Maybe He meant money is their God.
Maybe, just maybe, all contacts are in Heaven and mediums simply don’t hear from the ones in what we call “Hell.” So they’re obviously not responding. lol Great question.

I am not a believer but..in most horror movies anyway, spirits are in some sort of netherworld, a purgatory kinda thing, stuck in some sort of spirit world limbo. They have not crossed over to whatever realm they would find their eternal rest or torment in. Maybe demons are spirits that are in limbo before going to straight to hell. haha
