063 Heaven and Hell (13) Paul: Hell and Universalism

What did Paul teach about hell? Or did he at all? Did he, instead, promote universalism: that all will be saved in the end, no matter what? What is the constant basis for universalism? How do we process salvation in light of a first century Jewish mentality? How do Modernism and the human desire for mastery go hand-in-hand? What do I think about people who have bright lime-green hair?

060 Heaven and Hell (10) Jesus On Hell, What Did He Say?

Is hell real? Is it eternal? Or is hell just Jewish symbolism for annihilation?

Did he build on the Old Testament teaching or completely re-vamp that? Also, I discuss the Roman Catholic Church's ongoing sexual-abuse catastrophe.
