Is Hell Eternal or Not?

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don’t go to heaven where the angels fly.
They go to a lake of fire and fry.
See them again till the fourth of July.

-Kurt Cobain, Lake of Fire

Patrick Mead jumped into the deep end with no life vest on today over at Tentpegs.

He’s challenging the traditional view of hell in that he believes it is not eternal.

I’ll be following this conversation pretty closely and have already chimed in under Patrick’s first post in this series.

I’d like to invite all my friends over to Patrick’s blog to join in – especially any Greek scholars.

Is hell eternal, or not?

As Seen By Hubble: Mystic Mountain (Brand New, Amazing Photo!)

Brand new from Hubble:

Mystic Mountain - click for larger view.

From the official press release:

NASA is releasing today a brand new Hubble photo of a small portion of one of the largest seen star-birth regions in the galaxy, the Carina Nebula. Towers of cool hydrogen laced with dust rise from the wall of the nebula. The scene is reminiscent of Hubble’s classic “Pillars of Creation” photo from 1995, but is even more striking in appearance. The image captures the top of a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust that is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. The pillar is also being pushed apart from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming from towering peaks like arrows sailing through the air.

Psalm 19:1-2
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge

I recommend picking this movie up – it’s worth watching.
