in hell, those punished are christians who have erred. while some usual sins such as usury, adultery, and women having sex before marriage are condemned, the apocalypse of paul goes beyond this. various "bad" christians are made to stand in a river of fire, including christians who left the church and argued; christians who took the eucharist but then fornicated; and christians who "slandered" other christians while in church. christians who failed to pay attention as the word of god was read in church are forced to gnaw on their tongues eternally. christians who commit infanticide are torn to shreds by beasts eternally while also on fire. church leaders and theologians who preached incorrect doctrine or were simply incompetent in their positions are punished with torture. for example, a church reader who failed to implement the word of god he read during church services in his own life is thrown into a river of fire while an angel slashes his lips and tongue with a razor.
