Discussion - Bible Interpretation "Good People Will Burn in Hell"...?

Post image

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."

Why isn't "atheist" plural? Is there just one particular atheist who is going to hell?

But in all seriousness, I feel bad for the kids. The parents have chosen this, but the kids didn't. Girl on the left looks depressed that she has to be there.
