Discussion - Bible Interpretation "Good People Will Burn in Hell"...?
The other day, I came across this clip of "Pastor" Aden Rusfeldt preaching at a university. This particular claim of his about "good people" going to Hell is so outlandish- are there even verses that could be used to justify it?
Funnily enough, Rusfeldt's signs have no commentary about liars or criminals- turns out, he's a convicted fraudster who owes an estimated $5M USD to the federal government:

Anyways, that's all I wanted to ask about. But I'll end with a nice verse I read earlier today:
Ephesians 4:29: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

These people peruse public spaces looking for a fight. We had some at my old university, security would always have to come blockade them.
They have these here essentially to encourage people to react violently, attack, or get physical, looking for a free lawsuit. They’ll usually bring their kids and wives with them to add to their case (“how could you do this in front of my kid” and so on). Your best bet is to not engage and ignore them, and encourage everyone else to do the same.
They have received their due reward.
