A literal hell
By Loyal A. Funk Arroyo Grande, Calif.It is not encouraging for me when human rationalizations take the place of clear doctrine in disputations about whether there is a place called hell (Viewpoint, Jan. 26). We live in the Laodicean age when men want to deny the existence of a literal hell as Jesus himself taught. Seminaries, colleges and pastors who gainsay that hell is literal likely also have a diluted view of the place called heaven. Jesus stated that there is a place of “weeping and gnashing of teeth, where the worm dieth not.” No amount of rationalization will eliminate this fact.
