The Grace of Ilúvatar?
Reading the thread "And Eru smiled" I came across another theological ME-related question. What happens after death/ at the end to those of the children of Ilúvatar who have somehow "worked against him"? I mean are they punished in some way? Or do they get grace as in Christianity? Or does such a thing as work against Ilúvatar even exist, if everything is due to fate and everything is set before it happens? And what about Melkor? Will he be punished or wil he have grace? Any ideas?
