Hell: Three Christian Views
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Hell: Three Christian Views," Steve Gregg presents three different interpretations of the concept of Hell in Christianity. While the traditional view is based on divine retribution, there are alternative views that include the destruction of the wicked and the belief that everyone will eventually repent and be saved. Gregg emphasizes the importance of knowing God and following Jesus' example of loving enemies and putting away anger. He argues that the traditional view of eternal conscious torment in Hell is not fully supported by biblical scripture, and that alternative interpretations better align with God's character of love and mercy.
