Cool Adventist belief: no hell?

Spectrum Staff | September 24, 2006

Adventist blogger and political science doctoral student Ron Osborn writes:
“I keep having these odd conversations with people about Hell, including one with a man yesterday who grew positively (dare we say) fiery when I told him I don’t believe it exists. Why, I am curious to know, would any sane and compassionate person want to defend the idea of Hell if it could be shown to be based on shaky theological foundations? In The Problem of Pain, C.S. Lewis wrote that “There is no doctrine I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power.”

“Hell no, he won’t go” there!
