In Christian theology, hell is the place or state that God's authoritative judgment condemns the person to spend eternity. There are three predominant theories on the nature of hell.

Athanasius outlines and fills in many theological circles and addresses several contradictions of the Christian faith by turning them around and proving God’s consistency. Building on and complementing this foundation, James Cone writes about race and oppression in his article “Who is Jesus Christ for us Today?” First, it must be acknowledged

The revivals renewed interest in the Christian faith. During the revivals, it was believed that people experienced conversions, salvation, regeneration or spiritual rebirth.

Rather than jettisoning these types of answers, then, I think we would be best suited adding Adams’ defense to the many-faceted response to the problem of evil from Christian philosophers of religion. My first objection is that she looks at the problem of evil as residing fundamentally in the finitude of creatures. She says that the main hurdle to atonement lies not in what we as people do but what and who we are. In

In the beginning, God said let there be Abrahamic religions. And it was so. Ancient Israelites carried many traditions molded by the conditions in which they found themselves. Monotheism was a very different ideology at this time in world history and lead to cultural clashes between the Israelites and other regional powers.

Christian exegesis originates on Jesus Christ’s rebuke of Hebraic Literalism concerning issues such as, the Sabbath, sacrifice and rabbinic authority. However, Christianity hinges on original sin doctrine, fully developed by the church father, Augustine of Hippo based on Romans 5:12, “Therefore just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned.” Consequently, providing a theo-statist worldview, as the state becomes divinely

Christians throughout the world profess to serve a merciful and loving God. And indeed, many Christians have experience this love and mercy first-hand throughout their lives. Those outside the religion, however, have leveled several criticisms against it, one of which is the idea of eternal punishment and how Christians could possibly promote the idea of a loving God on the same level as a deity who would eternally and painfully punish those who committed a crime no greater than not believing in

Their reaction by concern church fathers against the action of the heretic let to the development of Christian doctrine and the formulation of a New Testament Canon. They fought the heresies that were damaging the church. In refuting error, they used much of the New Testament as the source of the true doctrine. The work of the Polemicists also gave rise

While I despise universalism, I can understand why Christians might wish to twist their
