Christian teachings of Hell- Physical Place

A

The Focus of Hell is the PUNISHMENT being given to a WICKED PERSON for ETERNITY
WITHOUT a GENUINE PLACE of punishment- there would be NO NEED for God to set MORAL LAWS and then JUDGE us when we die
SINNING is turning away from God-which DESERVES TO BE PUNISHED

All Christians MUST behave as if ALL people are CALLED as they do NOT KNOW who God has chosen

Barth believed that: All People are ELECTED through JESUS taking PUNISHMENT OF DEATH

Jesus by BEING PHYSICAL INCARNATION of God is both the ONE WHO ELECTS and also the one who is ELECTED- means all humans can BE SAVED because JESUS has taken HUMAN FORM

THE CHOICE God made is NOT the CHOICE who TO SAVE but the CHOICE of GOD COMING to EARTH

The view that everyone everyone will be saved

40

Universalism John Hick

Teaches that it is NECESSARY that EVERYONE GOES TO HEAVEN.

HICK believes in the after life people will have the OPPORTUNITY to be able to FINISH SOUL-MAKING process and everyone will get there EVENTUALLY.
