In the last few days, the Pope has brought out the Biblical idea of an eternal Hell. Well, the bloggers and pudits went wild. Hell was a concept out of date ranted the Left and the religious liberals. Even Mainline Prots denied the concept of an eternal Hell. After all, God is love et cet and ad nauseum. Still, the Pope, many Evangelical Protestants and some bloggers would not relent. At the Easter season, this is actually a good topic to revive. There is after all the Good News of Jesus' life, death and resurrection for all believers. This represents the Biblically alert know , the forgiveness of humanity's sin and the end of eternal death if faith, reliance upon the life, death, person and resurrection of Jesus Christ are indwelt in one's heart, mind, body, soul, emotions, and spirit by said faith. And yes, there is the Bad News of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. The Bible avers that unbelief , continual sin , rebellion against the Holy God Creator of the Universe and Savior, Jesus Christ results in not only bodily death on this earth's dimension but an eternal separation, cold, alone, sentient spiritual life from that Light and Saving God in a dimension the Bible calls Hell. I believe it. In fact, this Sun. in Downey, Ca. I am preaching on the Atonement of Jesus for Palm Sunday. You may reject this idea, this Jesus, this concept of Hell. But, what if you are wrong?
