Questions on Hell.

1. What do you think is the biggest misconception about Hell?

2. Do you think the explanation of God allowing us freedom (and we've abused the freedom by making bad choices) is adequate in explaining the reality of Hell? Why or why not?

Everything In Light Of The End

Two questions this week:

1) What's your idea of what Heaven will be like and why?

2) What's a specific example of how the future reality of Heaven should change the way we experience something in the present?

Heaven Our True Home

If everyone realized that the good things in life, like good relationships and careers and hobbies, are very important, but were never meant to give us ultimate fulfillment, (they are inns to stop at on the way home, as Lewis says), and that our ultimate satisfaction comes only when we are with God in our true home (AKA Heaven), how would this change people? How would this change the crime rate? The divorce rate? Would it have any bearing on the current economic problems we've been hearing so much about on the news?

What do you think?

Where Lies Our Security?

If given the choice, do you think most Americans would give up their freedoms of religion, speech and press, (say, to a dictator) in exchange for guaranteed economic and military security?

What perspective does the Bible (especially OT books like Hosea) give on this question?
