With all texts, it should be remembered that they are set in a broader context. The way texts are quoted is always an expression of the writer’s understanding. The questions are here without further comment. Questions, however, can be the gateway to better understanding. Questions are like invitations to think about something.

This list of questions is primarily for believers who cannot imagine that God will one day come to a good end with the whole world and with all people. Ideas about “heaven and hell” are challenged by this list using biblical statements.

This list is from an author I do not know. Some things I would have formulated myself in a different way. Anyone who looks for the hairs in the soup here misses the point. There is only one thing at stake in all questions: Do you recognize throughout all Bible passages that the salvation of all people is a theme in the Bible? This is surprisingly unknown by many people, probably because the doctrine of hell lies like a heavy and dark blanket on many Christian communities and thinking about such Bible texts is not only unknown, but often frowned upon and immediately heresied. The idea is to change that by learning to engage with the text again.

Of course, these questions cannot replace exegesis. They are only helpful as an introduction to the topic – as a suggestion, so to speak. If you want to deal with these questions in more depth, you will find far more articles on this website that deal with various things in a well-founded manner. Look in the menu under “Topics”.
