332 RfYtB (6) My RealPolitik, The Moral Goodness of Hell

Reasons for Your Belief, Heaven and Hell, Eds Personal

A Christian engagement with politics is idealistic, right? I mean, don't Christians want both a righteous messiah and an earthly Nirvana? Not me. I explain why I do engage politically, noting my historical and theological reasoning. In the show's second part I work through the topic of hell. Can we say God is loving if he sends people there? Can we say God is just if he sends people there? Well, actually, I believe there are profound reasons to suggest that hell is morally good. Let's be more nuanced.

I also explore the matrix of Progressive political policies. Come laugh and think with me!

What does the Bible have to say about justice? And who does the Bible blame for racism? Come, let us reason together.

Heaven and Hell

Why does the Church teach about hell? I will note four reasons why I believe there must be a hell, although that doesn't always make me comfortable. What is the central reason Christians have believed in hell? Are there gradations of biblical teachings that are less and more offensive? If not, why? If so, what do we do with that? During an A.D.D. break I also review the movie, "Mission Impossible: Fallout."
