Heaven and hell, the judgment nobody wants to talk about unless you die as a believer... which then means you are going to heaven... but who's going to hell? And can believers really know who's going where?
Matthew 8:8-12 NIV
8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Well, to some degree the answer is apparent: if you don't have faith (regardless of one's volition) you are doomed to hell.
So whatever the hell "hell" is, Hitchens is there and I appreciate the honesty of hearing it. The Richard Dawkins disciples who are offended have no reason to be; but in fact should laud the consistency of Bryan Fisher for saying it, for consistency can be a rare virtue when attempting to follow Jesus' teachings. If a Christian were to exercise some mental gymnastics and come up with a reason why Hitchens may not be in hell... ... ...
the scriptures may as well be thrown out...
