Join Reverend Derek Kubilus and Michael having an amazing conversation on the doctrine of hell and how Derek came to reject it as a mistranslated, misinterpreted, and illogical concept that totally contradicts God's love. Derek addresses these questions below. Don't miss his insightful answers:
* How are some people haunted by hell?
* What are the major glaring contradictions of the notion of a hell that is created and maintained by a loving God?
* If Christians truly, really, honestly believed in hell and truly, really, honestly loved their neighbors, how would they live their life?
* What are the most interesting examples of mistranslations of terms referring to hell in the New Testament?
* What does Jesus mean when he says “everyone will be salted by fire?”
* Where did modern Christians get the idea that God is retributive—to the point of punishing people infinitely if necessary?
* What is your response to those who claim that death is the ultimate cutoff for securing one’s salvation?
* How does the concept of “remedial punishment/rehab of the age” equate with purgatory? Is purgatory in the Bible under a different term? * How do you define being a universalist? Why does it not mean all religions are alike all lead to the same God?
* How does Jesus expand the borders of those to be saved?
* How do you answer the objection that we need hell to maintain human freedom?
* What are the wonderful, beneficial implications of no longer believing in hell?
