The love of God and the horror of hell seem so incongruous that we can't help but wonder if the threat of eternal punishment is all bark and no bite--a fear tactic employed by fire-and-brimstone preachers that frightens people and saddens God.
Jesus never shied away from setting the record straight. So what did He have to say about hell?
This is a subject we would prefer to avoid, but too much is at stake to do that. We need to know the truth, even if it does scare the you-know-what out of us.
