"The Old Testament with words like smite, fire and brimstone no longer applies if you believe Jesus Christ is your savior," she said. "They need to be educated in their own faith."

Sometimes people's true ideas and words (in the news) read like something straight out of the Onion.

This poor woman is saying the exact equivalent of "There is no Hell; that's all Old Testament stuff. In Christianity, Hell doesn't exist"

Astounding. It just astounds me how quickly the demands of the homosexuals have so infected our society that people who profess a knowledge of Christianity will even deny the existence of Hell to avoid being "offensive".

It's truly like we are living in an age of great deception, the "great falling away" so to speak. I never thought I'd live in a time where it was so obvious how far some have fallen.

Jesus spoke of hell and He don’t lie. Exalting one’s words over His is similar to Lucifer exalting his entity over the Almighty. A stupid and dangerous place to be.

She has it exactly backwards. It is the New Testament which speaks of punishment after death. Are there any Old Testament verses which explicitly speak of fire or other torments suffered by the dead? (The closest I can find is II Samuel 22.6, but I think David’s reference to Sheol is treating death itself as the punishment.)

I guess she did not read the part where Jesus said he was not here to undo the Old Testament only add to it and fulfill it.
