Will Everyone Be Saved? A Look at Universalism
Rick Wade covers some of the pros and cons in the universalism controversy. Bottom line? No. In the spring of 2011, Pastor Rob Bell’s book Love Wins hit the book stores, but the furor over the book started even before that. The charge was heresy. Bell appeared to be teaching Universalism, the belief that everyone…
“Do Babies Go to Heaven?”
Do babies and small children go to heaven? We have lengthy answers to this question here and here, but Shane Pruitt provided an especially insightful, excellent answer to this question on X (Twitter): At 12:50 AM on a Tuesday morning, our ten-year-old son with unique needs went to be Jesus. So, a statement like this…
God Wins: A Critique of Rob Bell’s Love Wins
Dr. Patrick Zukeran critiques Rob Bell’s controversial book denying the biblical teaching on hell, arguing that Bell offers another gospel. A New Kind of “Christianity” Will all people regardless of their belief enter heaven? In a new book, Love Wins, mega church pastor Rob Bell presents his case for universal salvation. Bell states that a…
“Homosexuals Are Going to Hell!”
Dear Mrs. Sue, I really enjoyed Blue School at Super Summer Arkansas and I had a blast. Unfortunately, I highly disagree with the answer you gave from the Ask Box question about if homosexuals are going to hell. From what I understood, you said that homosexuality is not a heaven or hell issue, and that…
“Will Greater Evil Merit Greater Punishment in Hell?”
Will those who have done greater evil on earth receive greater punishment in Hell? I think so. Luke 12:47-48 seems to lend some justification to this view. “That servant who knows his master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the…
“Will I Go to Hell For Getting Divorced?”
If I get a divorce, does that mean I will spend eternity in hell? I am saved so I don’t think I would be forgiven for it. I know that if someone gets divorced and then gets saved then they will be forgiven but I am saved so I’m supposed to know better. And I…
“Is There a Specific Reference to Heaven or Hell in the OT?”
Is there any specific reference to Heaven or Hell in the Old Testament or did this notion emerge solely as a result of the Persians’ Zoroastrian influence on the Jews? The OT contains numerous references to heaven. Many of these refer to the physical heavens (Gen. 1:1, Psalm 19:1, etc.). Nevertheless, there do also seem…
“Will I Go To Hell For My Doubts?”
I have been a Christian my whole life. I have been struggling with faith lately. I am mostly intellectually convinced in Christianity, however I have a lingering doubt based on a few intellectual things. One is the battle between old earth and [young] earth [creation] and the other is the age of the book of…
“What Is Your Position on Universalism?”
Do you have any information or research on “Christian-Universalism”? Please see the website www.christian-universalism.com. Universalism, in its simplest sense, teaches that at some point all will be saved. The website that you referenced in your email contains many of universalism’s most popular beliefs. However, routinely these views stray from orthodox Christian belief and away from…
“Why Didn’t God Just Throw Satan into Hell When He Rebelled?”
Why did God allow Satan to deceive mankind for a certain time period? Why did He not just throw Satan into hell first after he rebelled? You’re right, we don’t know many things in the mind of God, but some wise people have pointed out that God has Satan on a leash (see the opening…
