The Wall Street Journal recently published an article titled “Do We Still Need to Believe in Hell?” which has evangelist Franklin Graham speaking out. The article poses questions about the afterlife and if Hell even exists.
The article, written by Dr. Scott G. Bruce, professor of history at Fordham University, argues that “Hell is a cruel and oppressive concept” that has lost its power on mankind thanks to scientific theories like Charles Darwin’s evolution.
The professor asserts that the concept of Hell should be dispelled from humanity saying, “In some distant, better future, the foreclosure of Hell will be an important step in the maturation of human communities that can mete out justice on their own, without supernatural aid.”
Upon reading this article, Graham took to Twitter to defend what the Bible says about Hell, that it is not a concept, but “reality.”
Graham wrote, “A few days ago the @WSJ published an article titled “Do We Still need to Believe in Hell?” The writer says that “Hell is a cruel and oppressive concept…” The fact is, Hell is much more than a concept—it’s a reality.”
