A Discussion of Hell - ASK ME ANYTHING
The doctrine of hell is one of the most difficult of Christianity. It makes both believers and unbelievers uncomfortable, for understandable reasons.
But if we believe the Word of God is true, we have to look at hell. We have to understand why it's necessary, just, and moral.
In this episode, I take you through my thought process to understand this challenging teaching for myself.
