John Paul II stated, "hell is the ultimate consequence of sin itself... Rather than a place, hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy."
Ngo-1999 uPapa John Paul II wathi: "Kunokuba sibe yindawo, isihogo sisho isimo salabo abazihlukanisa ngokuzithandela nangokuphelele noNkulunkulu, umthombo wakho konke ukuphila nenjabulo."
