Is Hell Justified? -- Part 1 -- The Main Questions.

On problem that people often work on in dealing with the problem of evil is hell. Now there are at least two major ways to look at hell -- punishment or annihilation. Either way though -- is hell justified? I mean how do we say God is just if God inflicts hell -- an eternal punishment -- for what we do here on earth -- temporal action?

Questions this Series Will Consider:
1. What is the nature of Hell?
2. What is Hell's Purpose?
3. How does God Relate to Hell?
4. Is Hell Justified?

I will be engaging Greg Boyd and his video series on the topic as well.

  1. The rub lies, I believe, in the fact that "what we do on earth" is not merely a temporal action, but effects people who are eternal beings, with eternal consequences.

    (I'm still reading although haven't been commenting, been in a funk of sorts lately - but always encouraged by your perseverance!)

  2. Thanx Paula -- the fact is this issue should bother us. I think if it does not we are really not human.
