Beating Up a Straw Man to Claim There is No Hell

Here's a nifty trick used by almost ALL false teachers.

Ignore the clear teaching of the Bible and build a straw man argument based upon a distorted view of the evidence (in this case via suppression of clear Biblical data).

Then beat up on the straw man that you've constructed (that shouldn't be because hard straw men don't fight back).

Once the straw man is good and dead then assert your own position as if it were the truth.

That's precisely what's happening in this video put out by the "New Covenant Group" that claims there is no hell.

Pay REAL CLOSE attention to the fact that NONE of the passages where Jesus teaches the doctrines of God's wrath and eternal punishment are discussed.

Instead, there is only an appeal to an artificially constructed Jesus that was built using only partial data and warped human reasoning.

==================================

“Then [Jesus] will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,

I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’

Then he will answer them, saying,

‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:41–46
