Well, God does not force anyone to sin and end up in Hell, does He?
In Mt 18:21, the "king" in Jesus's parable (who represents God) turns this "servant" over "to the torturers" until the once-forgiven debt is paid.
Some say this debt cannot be paid so this psg is a reference to Hell
Some say the word "until" means that it is Purgatory, since the person is released once the debt is paid.
I don't think theologians have concluded which it is.. Hell or Purgatory... but in any case
Why take a chance?
