Everyone is talking about hell these days. In response to Rob Bell's new book--love Wins--TIME magazine even had a cover story on it during Holy Week asking—Is Hell Dead? When it comes to this topic
everyone has questions:
- How could a loving God send people to hell?
- Is hell forever?
- Will everyone be saved in the end?
- What about those who have never heard of Jesus?
- Did Jesus really believe in hell?
Last month I responded to these and other issues from a distinctively Christian worldview so that we can better understand what the Bible teaches about this topic and how we can engage others when these issues come up in conversations at work, home, or on campus (cf. 1 Peter 3:15).

I would respond with the following points:
Hell is real because...
1. Jesus affirmed it, talked about it, described it in detail.
2. The Bible references it in Many books, both O.T. and N.T.
3. To not take the Bible and Jesus at face value is dangerous, why stop there, what else is up for grabs in the scriptures...
4. Though why we may not like the idea of Hell, we didn't set the standards for attendance there, God did... Who are we to change the standard that God has set up from the beginning?
