Thy Will Be Done

Today's Slice of Infinity by Joe Boot deals with the rather unpleasant doctrine of hell. I've been thinking about this quite a bit recently and this article is very useful. Here is an excerpt:

"For obvious reasons, the biblical doctrine of hell has never been a favorite theme for Christian people, even amongst the most fervent of puritan preachers. The very thought of an endless separation from God and his presence, where communication and community are utterly negated, is an intolerable thought to the one who loves God. It is a doctrine we do not like and often do not understand, especially since scripture identifies our moral barometer as broken."
