Worshipping The Monster
I love that we are talking about hell. It’s time it was brought out of the closet (the dark ages) and looked at very deeply. Before you read this post I would suggest reading the post that inspired it. John Shore asks, “Is God’s Justice Different Than Ours? Hell, No!“ John asks a remarkably good question in his post. He …
