Catholic AnswerCatholics believe that God created us to be immortal, and that our soul is immortal. Our physical body perishes at death and is reconstituted at the final judgment - at that time we receive an immortal body along with our soul. According to Our Blessed Lord, and His judgment has been seconded by various saints and angels throughout history, the vast majority of people go to eternal hell when they die as they have rejected God in their lives, and their choice is fixed when they die. This short period in which we are alive on earth is the only time when we can choose something other than God, at death that choice is fixed, and, if we reject God, we join the angels in hell who rejected Him. Our Blessed Lord gives this in St. Matthew 7:13b wherein he tells us that the road to hell "for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." So those who have rejected God in their lives still live forever, with an immortal body, but it is an eternity of suffering in hell - which means separation from God.

Do Seventh -day believe in Hell?
Yes, but our beliefs on hell differ from many other denominations. In general we believe hell to be an event more than a place. At the end of the world, the wicked are burned up by hellfire and destroyed, but they do not continue to burn for all eternity. An in depth study of Biblical language and teachings show that the "everlasting" fire is fire that lasts until life ends. In this way, we believe in hell as an event that destroys the wicked, but not a place of eternal torment of the wicked. Simply their eternal destruction.
