Judge Not, That You Be Not Judged | Matthew 7:1–6

Christian doctrine teaches that we are completely and totally saturated with sin, and Jesus' teachings on judging reflect extreme ignorance of our own sinfulness. The gospel is the antidote to judging, and it's what Jesus brought to those who were condemned. When we understand the gospel, our faults shouldn't surprise us, and we should be more embarrassed by our own sin than enraged at others'. Judging is not about assessing someone's position, but rather dismissing them as a person. We should speak with grace and truth, just like Jesus did, and be sensitive to what people can handle. We should also learn to listen before speaking, and be patient with the pace of God in someone's life. [... more]

Does the Bible Teach that Hell is Eternal or Temporal for Unbelievers?

The Bible teaches that hell is eternal, a place of conscious torment for those who reject God, where the wicked are punished and destroyed, and the righteous are rewarded with eternal life. The doctrine of hell is a primary issue in Christianity, and its eternality is supported by passages such as Matthew 25 and Mark 9, which describe eternal punishment and the unquenchable fire of hell. The Bible also describes hell as a place of torment, where the wicked are punished for their sins and the righteous are rewarded for their faith. The doctrine of hell is not just a threat, but also a reminder of God's justice and mercy, and a motivator for evangelism and missionary work. [... more]
