Christianity without a Hell
Hell has always been a part of the reality of Christianity not as something to scare people into being a Christian but an alternate choice if you are not s Christian. John Shore said hell is not a real place it is made up and used as a tool for converting Christians. I agree some "Christians" change just because they don't want to go to hell, that is the wrong purpose. Its Christ's love that should draw us to him not the fear oh hell. Why do people want to believe there is no hell?, to make a religion that they like. They want a Christianity with no consequences. They want to accept the loving side of God but refuse to acknowledge the power ands justifying side of God. At the end of John Shore's article he says, "I want this Christianity. I insist upon that Christianity. Tell me Im not alone". this clearly proves how messed up he is. This is the Christianity he wants? Is Christianity not a constant thing? This statements insist Christianity is always changing and in 100 years could be a completely different idea. Satan is a part of hell so does this mean that Satan is also not real? If he is said to also be fake then were is the distinction of wrong and write, darkness and light. What is the alternative for not being a Christian? where do the non believers go? This idea has so many flaws and so many unanswered questions. If there's no hell then there is no fear, and every Christian should fear God, it's a part of having a relationship with him. This is not a true Christianity but a made up one to make life easier or more comfortable for these "Christians"

"If there's no hell then there is no fear, and every Christian should fear God, it's a part of having a relationship with him." <-- Fantastic point, Taylor. That's a big reason why we need Hell besides showing the distinction between light and darkness. Throw in a scripture reference (to show you are knowledgeable in the Bible) and you'll, have some delicious icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteTaylor, no hell sounds good to the sinner, right? Tell people what they want to hear and you have a religion, he is actually preaching his own religion. Although he would never confess to evangelizing for his ideology that is exactly what he is doing. All belief systems are a type of religion.
