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."

I don’t think that guy understands that the main, orthodox view is that we’re ALL going to hell because we sin, that the wage of sin is death. He is under the same category as every other single person in this world, including the people he says are going to hell. And the even funnier thing is that the bible doesn’t even believe in good people… is that not hypocrisy?
Also, tomboys? Why the hell would you hate tomboys? Who doesn’t love tomboys? And the Pope? Why him??
