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.

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.

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