It also paints God as a MONSTER

---

Yep, a MONSTER who would send his only son to die on the cross. A Holy God, who can have no sin in is presence. A Just God who must punish sin.

But your God is a loving God, he would never do such things because it offends your way of thinking (which is obvious in your comments)............................

He must be Just and Holy. Mercy is at his discretion.

Isa_33:6 In that day He will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD will be your treasure.

Act_9:31 The church then had peace throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, and it became stronger as the believers lived in the fear of the Lord. And with the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it also grew in numbers.

This “no hell” concept is a recent LIBERAL view (becoming popular in the mid 1800’s) because it offends human nature. IT has not stood the test of sound doctrine.

Yes. And He died. He was not eternally tortured. Only the saved are eternal. The lost are destroyed in the second death. Like Jesus, they die, except they are not resurrected after the second death. That is why their condition is eternal.

Two things:
1. it is not recent. Rather, thanks to the explosion of the sharing of knowledge thanks to the internet, it is gaining the popularity it had 2000 years ago.

It is similar to the things that Martin Luther disagreed with in Catholic teachings that had been the mainline beliefs for a very long time. But they are no longer, and rightfully so.

Jesus never used the word “hell”. He used the word Gehenna. It is a place with a morbid history. A history His listeners were very familiar with. The message is clear.
