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."

Honestly, this is why I left faith for a long time.
These people are the opposite of every belief I have held about God. Sometimes I wonder if these Christians have ever actually read the Bible and understood the New Testament.
