Nieskończone miłosierdzie czy wieczne piekło?

Abstract

The truth about the Divine Mercy is closely related to the priestly mission of Christ, perhaps it is the most related with particular human life, reviving hope that everybody is assigned to the participation in the salutary results of Christ’s work, so to the eternal happiness in heaven. But is it certain that everybody will reach heaven? It seems to some people, including known theologians, that the paradox suggesting itself to some extend between two basic secrets of the faith, it means between the never-ending Divine Mercy and eternal hell cannot be solved only by assumption that hell is eternal only nominally, not really. It would be only a simple hypothesis, having “pedagogic” features, but not eternal reality, because God “desires all people to be saved” (1 Tim 2, 4) – all, without difference. This solution, going along a line of final mercy showed to everyone without exception and difference, yet is too simple and deceptive. The invoking vi God’s desire of saving all people does not lead to the agreement of two unfathomable mysteries, which we are discussing about, but it means to sympathize illusory the Divine Mercy by elimination the mystery of hell. The followers of such conception see the reception in God unlimited mercy and eternal God’s punishment as contrary. In this article there is a criticism of surface contradiction between Divine Mercy and eternal hell, beginning with the notion of human freedom, of which the consequence is also the reception the existence of hell as rejected freedom carried out in choice evil against good.
