The teaching of Hell today is almost non-existent. The Bible says much about Hell. Matter of fact it refers to Hell much more than it does Heaven. If you do not believe in Hell as a place of forever punishment of the sinner, you no doubt do not believe in Heaven either. Christians of today have overdosed on the love of God, so much so that, many believe that a just and loving God will not do what He said about an eternity of fiery torment. I believe in Hell because the Bible tells us about it. I believe in it because Jesus taught much about it. In this writing, I do my best to make Hell and...

The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy.

At the same time, the concepts of the Devil and Hell are not unique to Christianity; other major faiths have similar concepts, while ancient religions had an underworld and assorted characters, such as the Greeks' Hades.

Today's generation is bombarded with theories about humankind and its origins. The danger for Christians lies in the wealth of misinformation and miscommunication about simple biblical truths such as: (1) How and when the world began, (2) Whether humans are unique or merely a happenstance of evolution, (3) The distinction between humankind and other living creatures, (4) The evolution of life on this planet, and (5) The spiritual dimensions of the human soul.
