The notion of unending punishment is so out of sync with people’s ordinary sense of justice that it is easily rejected as preposterous. The traditional view of hell is just not Biblical or rational. The punishment for sin is not prison, it’s capital punishment. Hell is a place of destruction, and I think the Bible says this clearly over and over again.
It’s not clear how heaven could ever truly be heaven if it co-exists alongside an eternal hell. How are we to imagine enjoying heaven when we know that fellow human beings — and perhaps former loved ones — are locked in an endless nightmare from which they shall never awake? How are we to imagine God, who is perfect love, enjoying heaven while he yet keeps the damned in existence for the sole purpose of having them experience hopeless pain? This being a vast majority of mankind, BTW.

I don’t want to render judgement on the man one way or the other. But I must say, I’ve never been as surprised by any allegations as I am about these. Because I’ve always believed in striving the be a “Good Berean” in my discernment of spiritual things. And Ravi always seemed to have his priorities correct in his teachings. Just a sinner like the rest of us, granted, but these allegations really are disturbing if true.

I thought that the US being Babylon in revelation was a well known fact. This has always been so obvious to me. It’s a wonder that people don’t see how clearly we are mystery Babylon

I’ll be honest, it’s becoming hard for me to drum up any sympathy for many of those who will be lrft behind to endure the tribulation. God forgive me for that.
