Evangelical Word of the Week
The way I see it, until the Christian church becomes clear in its definition of “Hell”, there will be
absolutes. The “good” will go to Heaven and the “bad” will go to Hell.
To my astonishment, I hear some of my Christian friends declaring that some people should definitely go to Hell, the “very bad ones”, for sure.
Myself, I have never felt qualified to decide who should go to “Hell” and I am not even sure if there is such a place.
Sadly, absolutism in Christian circles is rampant in the labels of “us” and “them”.
If “us” is good then “them” is bad. The “other” is never good.
I, too, would like to see the labels abandoned.
Christ died for all and that is what really matters.
