Is there a literal Hell? Is it a lake of fire that never goes out? Is eternal torment really God’s way of handling people who refuse to accept Christ? Doesn’t that seem a bit harsh? Where did this whole idea even come from? Is hell in the bible or did we just make all this crap up?This week we are talking with Matthew Challenor. Matthew was born and raised in a Baptist household but once he reached his early twenties, walked away from the church. After a spiritual encounter, he found his way back as a follower of Christ but then ended up in the hospital with what everyone believed was a heart attack. After some extensive testing, Matthew was diagnosed with extreme stress and this, along with some already pressing questions lead him into deconstruction. The pressures of living up to God’s supposed standard were replaced with an understanding of God’s love. One of the areas Matthew found himself deconstructing was Hell. The idea that a good God would send people into a pit of eternal torment didn’t seem to add up according to God’s character. So Matthew began researching where the idea of hell came from and where we misconstrued it along the way.
