THE DOCTRINE OF HELL Chris discusses the Biblical teachings about God's eternal punishment of the wicked, as stated many places in Scripture. Yet a movement exists today aimed at proving that "hell" does not really exist, and that it is not a Biblical doctrine. Those who defend the idea argue that a loving God would never punish anyone with eternal torment, and that everyone will eventually go to Heaven. But how does the doctrine of Hell impact the Gospel? Will sinners truly turn toward Christ for salvation if they believe they will somehow be saved anyway?
