THE OBJECTION TO HELL FROM OUR INFINITE WEAKNESS

The Catholic Church teaches that Hell is everlasting punishment meaning you are responsible for being there.

It argues that sin is ultimately the wish to destroy God as he really is. That is why it deserves infinite punishment for it opposes infinite goodness.

Arnold Lunn in his letter to Ronald Knox in the book, Difficulties (page 68) said that though that makes sense the problem is that God cannot punish us infinitely for we sin through our infinite weakness. Infinite weakness cannot deserve infinite punishment.

Knox replied that we are not infinitely weak for we have some free will and some power to avoid sin.
