About this episode
The episode discusses the challenging concept of hell in Christianity and how it relates to God's love and choice.
When C.S. Lewis thought about hell, he said, “There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power.” Many people are uncomfortable with the idea that a loving God would sentence people to an eternity of suffering, but Jesus spoke about hell twice as much as everyone else in the Bible combined. He describes hell as a place we choose to go, but the good news is that God chooses to deliver us from hell out of his limitless love.
