He's made vlogs that go viral pretty much every time he posts them and he's really accumulated a massive audience. He has a podcast with almost like a million downloads every week. So this is what he had to say about hell on his recent podcast. Where do you think you'd go? I don't believe in the hell really. I think we're all here and we all just have circumstances. That's a different way to look at it. I could see why you would say you don't believe in hell because it's like not really a godly thing to damn people the hell. I feel like I was watching in the show about prisons and Norway's prison is like a hotel and you can only go to jail in Norway for up to 21 years no matter what time you commit. You're out in 21 years because they believe in rehabilitation. That's the most important thing. And they have like a 30% re-incarceration rate where like 30% of the people, which is really low, like 30% of the people that go to jail are offenders again. This is the first time I've said anything factual. This is so crazy. But yeah, I can't believe it. It's all right too. I'm listening to you. I imagine that's how heaven would be like, yeah, I'm not going to send you to hell. I know you murdered people, but like, bro, let's just work on you, like me and you. Let's talk a little bit and figure it out. Let me get to you. It's an interesting idea, honestly. This idea of just rehabilitation in hell, this is kind of his perspective. But I want to start at the Bible because the Bible is a foundation. When we're even talking about hell, where does this idea come from? It comes from the Bible, so let's see what it has to say. Okay, in Matthew 10, 28, it says this, and do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul, rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body and hell. So hell exists. In 2 Thessalonians 1, 9, it says this, they will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might. So hell is eternal. Here's another verse from Matthew 5, 22, but I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to the judgment, whoever insults his brother will be liable to the counsel, and whoever says you fool will be liable to the hell of fire. Okay, so we know people go to hell for their sins, according to that verse. So like we just did, if you were to take a close look at the Bible, you find out that hell exists, it's eternal, and people go to hell for their sins. Okay, all those things make sense, and that's pretty, I mean that's the orthodox view of hell in Christianity, but David here, he's not talking about the orthodox view of hell. He's kind of bringing something up, you know, hey, he's like, it doesn't sound very godly in his perspective, he says, you know, hell isn't a very godly thing to have. And you may be watching this, you're like, yeah, that's pretty true, I think I agree with that. Back to our foundation of where we find what is true justice, what is justice? Because in David's mind, true justice would be some sort of rehabilitation where, you know, there wouldn't be really any kind of, you know, too strict punishment, but it's just kind of with the idea that you're going to be segregated until you can become better, or become a better person. That's his idea of justice, but my question for you, and for David, is where are you getting that standard of justice? Because here's my point, without God's law, without God's standard within the Bible, okay, we are left on our own, we're left to our own opinions, our own perspectives, our own, you know, you do you, you, you know, whatever you believe that's great and whatever I believe that's great, and that can be all true. Without God's law and standard, we lose our sense of objective morality. So everything becomes subjective. So now my question would be, is okay, you think, you know, rehabilitation is actually more godly. Why even have rehabilitation if there's no standard of right and wrong? Why even have some place where certain people are, are segregated because they apparently do something wrong? Because remember, without God's word, without God's standard, we're just left on our own. So who's to say that doing something is wrong, or doing something else is right, and doing something else deserves to be, you know, punished, or you need to be rehabilitated, because that's pretty judgmental, especially if you have no standard. So here's my point, is that David is taking things from the Christian worldview, he's taking the objective standard by which we judge everything by God's 10 commandments, his law, what we think is right and wrong, and all that, and he's saying, yeah, look, murderers should be still, you know, segregated in some way, but they should be kind of in a rehabilitation instead of experiencing some sort of punishment, and maybe that's how God operates too. But what David is doing is he's taking that part of the Christian worldview, the objective standard of right and wrong, but he's denying God's authority over what is to say justice is. Because if God has declared the objective standard of right and wrong, the armorality, then he also gets to say how justice is served, he has declared that. And when we say, no, I don't think God is like that, I think God is more about just rehabilitation, or even say, I don't even think God wants to punish people in hell. That doesn't sound very loving. We're creating an idol, an idol to serve our own, to ease our conscience, honestly, because if we are held accountable, if we are held to what we actually do, then that means we're in deep trouble. And David, if you're watching this video, man, the Bible says that for all of us in the fallen short of the glory of God, that we've all broken God's law and we're all guilty and deserve to go to hell. And this is eternal hell, eternal damnation separation from God. But the amazing thing is, is God himself sent Jesus, who was fully God and fully man without sin. He lived a sinless life, a life that we could not live to die on the cross, a death we deserve to die. And he rose again on the third day, defeating death in the devil. And he took that, he took that punishment that we deserved on himself. And what we need to do is trust in him, repent, which means turn from our sin. Say, God, I'm sorry for all the law breaking that I've done my whole life. And I want to turn to you and God will give us the gift of repentance and of faith. And when we put our faith in him, man, he'll begin to change our heart. And that's all a work of the Holy Spirit within us. It is an amazing thing. There is hope beyond the grave and look, there is accountability for sin, but there's amazing hope in Jesus.
