Turek says God is just. Hardly... it isn't just to send people to Hell for eternity when God caused man to sin by putting temptation in the garden. God created good and evil. Separation from God wasn't enough? He has to torture you for eternity. Not a loving merciful God in my book...
@MournfulMystic Says:
The juxtaposition of the happy background music against the most horrific topic in existence is bizarre in the extreme. No Frank. No one can continue sinning in hell forever. Paul said ''Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin"..If death is defeated than it's cause sin cannot be allowed to run rampant forever in people still sinning.
@fitaw2609 Says:
One thing I’ve heard a lot is that gave us free will so we could freely worship and seek relationship with him and as a consequence of this we also have the ability to sin. Knowing this, will people in heaven be able to sin or not. If they can sin yet they get to remain without punishment it would seem unjust as those in hell lengthen their sentence by continuing to sin (assuming there are rules in heaven , I assume this cuz Frank said they could continue to sin in hell so it would be fair to assume they sin in hell). If you don’t get punished of breaking his rules it would be against his just character, sure you could say they are covered by Jesus sacrifice and they wouldn’t go to hell but essentially this means there is no punishment for sin in heaven.This all assumes that sin could occur, but I don’t see why it couldn’t occur if we have free will. If even the angels could sin and are then sent to hell why couldn’t we also after we get to heaven. Is it even possible to spend eternity without breaking one of Gods rules. If it is why bother creating such a miserable world in which only a small portion get this eternal ecstasy while the rest are damned to hell , when he could of only created those who would get eternal life and make life start in heaven as it did for the angels. Win win for every one he gets his obedient humans that love and have a relationship with him, while those who not only suffered on earth but then who continue to suffer for eternity would never have existed and thus never suffered.

@timothy4131 Says:
We should thank God everyday especially his children that he does not give us what we deserve if you did all of us wind up in hell so I will take the grace over Justice anytime thank you Jesus
@enfreeze Says:
Interesting.. Hell is considered as an overkill potentially, but why aren't they willing to see what the Grace of God is? People thinking they deserve heaven because they feel they're good whilst completely taking this life for granted without acknowledging God.

@davidreinker5600 Says:
Death is punishment. Death is eternal, barring an act of God.
@dataphilo Says:
In this point I can't agree with Frank. Consider this, if sinners go to hell for eternity, the sinful state in this universe will continue for the eternity, which contradicts the last chapters of the book of revelations. Also that will be like a special gift for satan, the fallen angels, and even those who loved sin more than the grace of God, living forever In a sinful state. The Bible clearly state that it will come a day when the sin will exist no more. Everything will be recreated after a purification in a lake of fire that will cover the entire earth. Everyone, humans and angels, who were not found in the book of life will be thrown there, no trace of sin will exist after that. Greetings

I know the promises of God. And I do not doubt them. But I also know God is sovereign. And when I am standing in God’s court, I will bow down and accept God’s sentence in worship of Him. God is God, and he will be glorified. I really don’t want to receive what I deserve, so I call upon the Blood and Name of Jesus.

Soon everyone will find out. Ask yourself if you want what you want or if you want what God Most High wants. Not one will be lost OR you get a good judgement and most of your family gets a bad judgement.
Who is your family? They're all mortal human beings!!! This should horrify you. Especially when you realize your biological family are included with All human mortals. Wait a minute? You say maybe you should rethink YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT THAT YOU PASSED ON YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR PARENTS AND YOUR ANCESTORS ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FALLEN STATE LINEAGE!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE JUST DAMNED OVER HALF OF YOUR FAMILY.
You are thinking like a fallen man! Get thee behind me Satan.

Does anyone actually think the stuff this guy says makes any sense at all?
@ultrasonic1494 Says:
It never made sense to me how Christians dont see the deception here. And no im not say that this guys is deceiving anyone or trying to lie to anyone. If the wages of sin is death, how can it also eternal conscious torment? It just makes zero sense. Either I will killed by the fires of hell (completely destroyed) or given immortality in hell forever. Being kept in hell forever means God is keeping me alive for all eternity. So essentially I will still be awarded eternal life but eternal life in pain and agony. How can it be said that the "soul that sins will die" if God isn't actually going to kill you but instead torment you for all eternity. Even human aren't that cruel. Life in prison means "life in prison until death". How is that fair and just to torment billions of mortals for all eternity? How is it just to keep someone alive just to keep tormenting them forever? Thats not God thats mans perverse interpretation of God. Even our beliefs about God are perverted. The bible says the punishment is eternal but it also says that the the wicked will be killed. How can God say theres will be no more tears or suffering when there will literally be billions crying, suffering, begging, pleading, in eternal agony and torment? By the way that would mean that some of the people crying will be some of the people who are in heaven who are constantly reminded that their family or friend or even their enemies who didn't make it are being kept alive to suffer by the same God who's smiling in their faces. Not to mention the constant reminder that if you mess up you'll be going there too.
@D-Mac-ln7yw Says:
Hell is a separation from God. I had a near death experience and went there and it’s not what people think. God is love and hell is separation from God and therefore without love. My experience was torture. Love is literally the force that keeps us from hell and essentially we become our own God which when you consider the complexity of the universe, are overwhelmed with the ability to think a thought. The only thing I can compare it to is a bad trip on a lot of mushrooms and that only scrapes the surface of the despair I felt. Right before I was thrown into it a voice said “you want to live a life of lust instead of a life of selfishness and service, here you go, have fun.”

@MrDude-tp2pm Says:
The answer is yes. Hell is overkill if you interpret hell as it appears in the bible.
You could spend your life as a genuinely good person (i'll take it a step further and say that you even followed God's commandments) and spend an eternity in hell for simply not believing in Christ. Saying "Hell is overkill" is the understatement of all existence.

@markrobinson8625 Says:
Should god after death give the soap a chance to repent and ask for forgiveness? He is a father of love and forgiveness. He asks us to forgive so doesn't he forgive? A father forgives so I cannot believe he would send any of his children to damnation for eternity for 70 years of life on earth . It doesn't feel right or the truth for me .

By rejecting God in all you say and do, you're thumbing your nose at him and dismissing his love, forgiveness and power.
By living as a hypocrite, you commit the worst sin of being unthankful of the greatest gift, life.
@jonathan4189 Says:
1. We don’t sentence people based on the duration of carrying out the crime. Is he serious?
2. We sentence people (and have laws for that matter) based on harm done. You cannot harm god. A transgression against an infinite being is at best irrelevant to the question OR at worst proves how messed up it is that god sends people to hell forever.
3. So we’re punished for our anticipated future crimes? Is free will only good for like 65 years? What if you repent in hell? What if, once you can make a choice that isn’t in ignorance, you decide you like God?
Does Turek ever actually ever this question?
@stevenweaver3386 Says:
Maybe looking at it like this may help:
Paul wrote that there isn't a single one of us who is good and righteous. We all fall short because it is our nature to shoot ourselves in the foot. (My paraphrase)
Isaiah wrote that every time we sin, it leaves a stain and stench akin to a filthy diaper or menstrual rag on our eternal soul.
One of the ways Jesus described Heaven as being a banquet.
Suppose you throw a huge, fancy banquet. Everyone is invited, and you insist on a dress code. Someone shows up to the gate filthy and stinking, clothes ragged and torn, demanding to be let in. People there have dressed in gowns and tuxes, bathed and clean. Do you let them in? Or do you turn them away?
God provided a way to be let in. Jesus will provide the power wash needed to clean us up, IF we ask for it. It's as simple and as difficult as that. If you refuse, it is on you when the gate stays shut in your face, not God's fault for being mean. It would not be just and fair to the people at the table who had got the gate pass from Jesus.
@hibbajude6971 Says:
"gnashing your teeth at God" sounds like if you behave yourself, you get a reduced sentence?
@templar8787 Says:
I find it difficult to believe that I can be sent to Hell forever for sinning during a lifetime that means almost nothing in the face of eternity. I was taught that justice is about achieving a balanced and even handed response to an evil committed. How is eternal suffering a just response for a little blip of a life in the infinite timeline?

@joelrobertsonmusic Says:
If sin continues forever and ever then God doesn’t defeat sin and death? If death is the result of sin then how can death be destroyed but sin remains? You have to change the result of sin. Sin in hell now just leads to eternal punishment not death. God will have his justice but eternal conscience torment makes no sense to me.

It's not a punishment for one individual sin, it's punishment for the collective unrepentant sin. The ongoing offensive against God. How can he do anything but punish such behavior?
@TroyHomenchuk Says:
Living forever is for heaven and the new earth, not some Greek notion of hell.
@hanszambrano7580 Says:
This is not biblical. God does not punish or torture infinitely. Hell is a permanent death as you are separated from the source of life which is God. This is what is eternal.
@brettmciver432 Says:
The question and answer in this is based on a wrong understanding of what biblical hell is.
First off the word hell it's self means to cover as in helmet ie head cover.
The problem starts with one English word being used for 4 different Hebrew and Greek words.
Sheol (hebrew) hades, tartaros and gehenna being those words.
Sheol (Hebrew) and hades (greek) are equivalents and mean a pit or hole in the ground which we are buried in or covered.
Tartaros means an abyss an is used once in scripture and is used in conjuction for the angels that sinned which is reference back to the korah, dathan and Abirim rebellion in Moses time. YHWH buried them in a great abyss and reserved them their for the judgement day.
Gehenna is refering to the rubbish tip outside of Jerusalem where convicted and executed criminals unclaimed bodies were thrown in Jesus time, and that is what hell fire is refering too.
Those that reject Christ will be beaten(according to their level of resposibility) and then will be executed and their dead bodies will be thrown into the fire and burnt to be gotten rid of.
The hell of tradition is a Catholic pagan emotional manipulation to scare believers into buying their way out of "hell" by having their sins "absolved".
I as a Christian have sinned and fallen short of the high mark and I have to justifiably die, (the wages of sin is death) but because Jesus stands between me and eternal death I will, like he was, be ressurected from my hole in the ground so for me it is equivalent to a short sleep.

@oscargr_ Says:
My goodness.. what an argument.. the punishment is usually longer than the crime.
Maybe the punishment against an infinite being should be infinite..😂😂
In our justice system the punishment is proportional to the damage we caused.
How much damage can you cause an all powerful being?
If i am careless on the road at night ,and I hit another car, but that car didn't have it's lights on... should that make a difference to my punishment?
@mrupholsteryman Says:
I would say that perish denotes a finality. I would say God's justice IS just... He is compassionate and while He prayed for the forgiveness of the ignorant (every person NOT Jesus...)...
The gift of God is eternal life.....the wages of sin is death....not eternal conscious torment.
There will definitely be some time spent there...but nowhere in the old Testament does God speak of an eternal conscious torment.... death had a finality to it. New Testament teachings were PROBABLY filtered through teachings of Roman and Greek myths where people were born immortal....
