IS THERE REALLY A HELL TO SHUN?
Search the scriptures; seek the truth.

         Some---even in the church---are saying they are not sure they believe in hell, but what do the scriptures say? What is the truth? That is what is important. We do not pick and choose parts of the scripture to believe and cast other parts aside.
