Dead People Go To A Better Place | Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe | Pastor Joel Schulz

What is the first thing we hear people say when someone has died? “Oh, she’s in a better place.” The problem is, in many cases it's simply not true. Dead people don't always go to a better place. That might be what we’d like to believe, but that still doesn’t make it true. The scripture clearly teaches that there is a hell. And it also teaches that many people will end up there. As uncomfortable a topic as this is, we need to give a clear witness to the world. Once we lose the concept of hell, the natural consequence is more thn putting us at odds with scripture. This denial eventually devalues the cross, redefines salvation, and turns our life of faith into an extra credit spiritual add-on. And it keeps us from sharing the truth all the people who are going to hell need to hear.
