This challenge has nipped at the heels of Christian apologists for ages. To non-Christians, itâs a despicable doctrine. If hearing the name of Jesus is a requirement for salvation, entire cultures would be consigned to perdition, reducing the Almighty to a petty racist. Is that fair? Is it just? Greg Koukl responds, âPeople will go to hell not because they merely had a theological point wrong, but because they had a real disease (sin) and never got the only effective cure.â Read more at rsn.pub/409p2m5.

When we lose our ability to describe sin, it becomes harder to discern sin in our lives.
Notice Paul's extensive vocabulary for sin in Roman 1.
Paul didn't simply open a Thesaurus and start mindlessly copying. Instead, he was keenly aware of all the ways we break God's moral law.
"They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them" (Roman 1:29-32).

Telling someone to âStop doubtingâ is like telling someone to âStop hyperventilating.â Rather than telling them to stop it, focus on helping them *through* it.

Itâs not about needing Hell to be a good person. Itâs about needing a good person to avoid Hell.

Here are 3 important Proverbs for engaging in online conversations.
1. âA gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up angerâ(Proverbs 15:1). In an increasingly polarized culture, itâs easier to be harsh than gentle.
2. âWhen there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wiseâ (Proverbs 10:19). Sometimes itâs better to bite your tongue.
3. âA fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mindâ (Proverbs 18:2). Many people are more interested in expressing their opinions than seeking understanding.
Can you think of any other proverbs that might be relevant?
