Ask RC-How can an infinite hell be just when our sins are finite?

Posted on November 8, 2019 by RC

The wisdom of this question, I would argue, is that it gets at the real horror of hell. A lake of fire is a frightening thought indeed. The greater dread, however, is the duration of hell, that it never ends. … Continue reading →
