My ...Well Dan, looks like we're heretics together. My church is in the Wesleyan holiness tradition, so I'm learning to appreciate orthopraxy more. I think we've lost that because of an over-emphasis on depravity/grace at the expense of thankful living.<br /><br />What percentage of Christendom are Christians because they're scared of hell? 90%? Sometimes I wonder about that for myself. How many people would keep coming if we stopped preaching hell?<br /><br />Back to orthopraxy. Its hard enough to get people to want to live righteously <i>with</i> hell to hang over their heads. We're screwed without it. What would a teaching of Christian life independent of hell/heaven teaching look like? I think the OT is a good place to look for that.<br /><br />Way to use the Church fathers, but you spelled Origen wrong.<br /><br />love, hibblesMark Hilbelinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645452825895366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061244237036918753.post-77186242270791575962006-12-02T21:01:00.000-05:002006-12-02T21:01:00.000-05:00dan. mmmmmmmm.

Only your argument is slightly better defended than the others I've heard for the abolition of hell.

It's like, when someone finds out you're a Christian, sooner or later they're going to ask you whether or not you think they're going to hell, or so-and-so who does such-and such is going to hell. It's almost a distraction from the real message of the gospel.<br /><br />Anyway, smart post. Pelagius is a funny name.<br /><br />P.S.--Sarah says, "Where's Lydia's blog?"Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939235620137794560noreply@blogger.com
