Episode Details

Do people become angels when they die, or do human beings remain fundamentally different from angels for eternity? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers apologists tackle some of the biggest questions about Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. They discuss whether we will eat, sleep, work, have hobbies, or experience romantic relationships in Heaven, what the beatific vision will be like, and whether there are different degrees of heavenly glory. The conversation also explores whether someone in Heaven could ever sin again, how a loving God can allow anyone to go to Hell, why Hell is eternal, and whether a single mortal sin can lead to damnation. Finally, they address predestination and explain why Purgatory is necessary if Jesus has already paid for our sins.
