Pearson said people who believe in Hell create it forthemselves and others.

Scripture is most clear on this topic. Yes, there is a hell!

Luke
Chapter 16

19

¹² "There was a rich man ¹³ who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.

20

And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,

21

who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.

22

When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,

23

and from the netherworld, ¹⁴ where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.

24

And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.'

25

Abraham replied, 'My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.

26

Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours.'

27

He said, 'Then I beg you, father, send him to my father's house,

28

for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.'

29

But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.'

Psalm 36: 2-10

Sin speaks to the sinner
in the depths of his heart.
There is no fear of God
before his eyes.

He so flatters himself in his mind
that he knows not his guilt.
In his mouth are mischief and deceit.
All wisdom is gone.

He plots the defeat of goodness
as he lies on his bed.
He has set his foot on evil ways,
he clings to what is evil.

Your love, Lord, reaches to heaven;
your truth to the skies.
Your justice is like God’s mountain,
your judgements like the deep.

To both man and beast you give protection.
O Lord, how precious is your love.
My God, the sons of men
find refuge in the shelter of your wings.

They feast on the riches of your house;
they drink from the stream of your delight.
In you is the source of life
and in your light we see light.

"As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire." Jude 1:7
