Questions and Responses

Question: In a future edition of the newsletter, I would like to see an evaluation of Mr. Wiese's book, 23 Minutes In Hell.

Question: Are you familiar with Rob Bell's book Love Wins?

Question: An SDA teacher has said that the word "everlasting" doesn't necessarily mean "forever." Is he correct?

Question: In the [10/05 Q&A], you say, "Upon death...He provided for them to go to hell to await their judgment; but even while awaiting the final judgment, they experience horrible torment." So you have God causing "horrible torment" before judgment.

Question: It seems to me that the idea that people who choose not to follow God will suffer eternal torment may be thought of as inconsistent with a God who is...just and loving [and] deter them from turning to the Lord. What are your thoughts?

Question: In a recent book, a well-known prophecy teacher writes, “I have never been able to fully embrace the traditional viewpoint of conscious, eternal punishment. It seems to impugn the character of God…." Please help me to discern.

Question: Your Dec. 2005 article, "Wonderful Love," was especially uplifting [but] I question where you say, "He [God]...caused Him [Christ] to endure the eternal Lake-of-Fire...." I am wondering WHICH book of the Bible you got that from?!

Question: When God created the earth it was good, so hell could not have been "in the heart of the earth" but was created after Adam's sin....Where will the eternal Lake of Fire be located?

Question: What hope do Muslim women have in eternity? Do they go to “paradise” and if so, it must be a different place from where the men supposedly go.

Question: ... Did Jesus descend into hell or not? I searched and searched the Scriptures and asked several pastors about this and still have no satisfactory answer.
