How can a loving God send people to Hell?

Send us a message. We’d love to hear from you!What do we actually mean when we talk about hell?In this episode of Not For Sunday Mornings, Steve and Chris continue the “Questions Kids Ask” series by digging into one of the hardest questions Christians wrestle with: If God loves everyone, why is there hell?They talk about how much of our picture of hell comes from Dante rather than Scripture, the different biblical words translated as “hell,” what Jesus actually taught about judgment, and why the story of the rich man and Lazarus matters. They also explore eternal conscious punishment, annihilation, universal reconciliation, purgatory, and the mystery of what happens between death and final judgment.But underneath all of those questions is something much more personal: God takes our choices more seriously than we often do.If hell is real, how should that change the way we think about God, our own lives, and the people we love?It’s a difficult conversation, but an important one.
