Someone suggested I do it post on Hell, so here you go

Hell is not something we like to talk about. It's the wrathful part of God , the part of him we don't want to hug up to or show off. A common misconception is that Christians love the idea that people will be punished eternally for disagreeing with us. First, that's a gross mischaracterization. Second, the only people who love the idea of Hell are Calvinists, who tend to love anything remotely connected to God,and non-Christians . There's no way to take advantage of the love of Christ and not love others. 

The current trend is to deny the existence of Hell. That's fine; I wish it wasn't there too. But by denying Hell we place ourselves against the New Testament and Jesus himself, as both of them testified about it. 

Of course there are ways to twist the Scriptures to make them say anything you want, but to do that, you have to ignore whatever doesn't fit your preconceived ideas. It's better to find out what the Bible actually says about everything -- including Hell -- than to just make things up.
