If You're Interested...

I've been engaged in a mildly entertaining and thought provoking (for me anyway) conversation with some other Christians about the reality and nature of Hell. Although all of us agree that Hell, if it exists, is unpleasant to think about, the conversation involves interpretation of Scripture and whether or not the Bible teaches that Hell is a place of conscious everlasting punishment for the unrepentant (my understanding) or if the wicked will eventually be destroyed, enduring only temporal punishment for their sins with the consequences of their destruction being everlasting (namely, that they will not exist forever and ever because they will be annihilated; which is the position of the other two in this ongoing conversation).

If you're interested in the topic, you can follow it at http://thinkinginreality.blogspot.com/. At the time of my posting, there are 7 posts on the topic, with much of the conversation going on in the comments section.

Although I disagree with these two, there is some good stuff on Chris' blog if you want to poke around and check out his other stuff. Disagreement is okay in the body of Christ ... let us not be divided, however.

Jesus still reigns ... let us glorify Him with all that we do and are.
