Kristnir byrjaðir að hafna helvíti

Mjög áhugaverð grein á www.time.com fjallar um hvernig sífelt fleiri kristnir eru byrjaðir að hafna hugmyndinni um helvíti, sjá: http://time.com/3207274/5-reasons-christians-are-rejecting-the-notion-of-hell/

Hérna eru ástæðurnar fimm en greinin fer ýtarlega yfir þær allar.

1. Something in our spirit tells us that torturing people is morally wrong.

2. The concept of eternal, conscious torment runs contrary to the whole testimony in scripture.

3. The final judge of each individual is Jesus, and torturing people seems contradictory to his character.

4. Jesus would become a hypocrite, demanding that we nonviolently love our enemies while he does the complete opposite.

5. We simply can’t get past the idea that we are more gracious and merciful than Jesus himself.

Ég bara vona að hinn kristni heimur er að vakna upp af þessu brjálæði sem hugmyndin um helvíti er.
