- Hell
My question is more about the threat we hear from so many teachers of the Gospel that Hell is a place of pain and anguish..."
Well, I think JESUS makes it clear that hell is a place of pain and anguish. See the parable of Lazarus and the rich man.
...where human beings are punished for being guilty of breaking God's law just by having been born.
See Paul's letter to the church in Rome, especially Romans 5:12. That's what I teach.
Where does that come from? Do you teach that from your platform?
The "that" you refer to is some twisted concept that we are punished just for being born. I don't preach that. We ARE born with a sin nature, but I don't believe babies go to hell. The Bible is pretty clear that we are punished for our sins, not because we are born.
