How
long the damned remain in hell, I know not nor what degree of suffering
they endure. If we could by any means compute how much wickedness they
are guilty of, it might be possible to ascertain the amount of suffering
they will receive. They will receive according as their deeds have been
while in the body. God's punishment is eternal, but that does not prove
that a wicked person will remain eternally in a state of punishment.
(President Brigham Young, JD 9:147-148) |
