Simple Answers From Biblical Truths
There is an idea that hell is not punitive – in other words, hell isn’t punishment for our sin – which is more palpable because it allows preachers to say that things like "hell is not God’s will, but ours", but this isn't faithful to the witness of God's word. God tells us that hell …
We are continuing our series on the most unpopular doctrine of hell: 2nd Thessalonians 1:5-10 (CSB) It is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment that you will be counted worthy of God’s kingdom, for which you also are suffering, 6 since it is just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you 7 …
The judgment of God is exactingly just; there will be no unrighteous judgment from God exacted on us when Jesus returns: Psalm 145:17 (CSB) The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all his acts. Job 34:21 (CSB) For his eyes watch over a man’s ways, and he observes all his steps. …

The greatest deception of our day is the idea that because God is a loving God, He will not punish. The Bible tells us this is not true: Ephesians 5:6-7 (CSB) Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things. 7 Therefore, do not …
The concept of an eternal destination reserved for wicked souls that is filled with the wrath of God and torment is too terrible an idea for many people to tolerate. And I would even submit here that the idea of Hell should be too terrible to tolerate; I do not believe God gave us the …
