Bible Question:
Recently we had a Preacher at our Church running a Revival and one night he said that the reason for global warning was that Hell was expanding and since Hell was in the center of the Earth it mades sense that the heat from Hell would be rising toward the surface. I am interested in what others think of this idea, I am not sure what to think because I have never heard this before and never thought about it. Thank You Charlie H |
Bible Answer: Hello, Charlie :: It looks as though the visiting preacher with his imaginative explanation of global warming is giving Al Gore some competition. :-) But the preacher may have as tough a time of proving his theory scripturally as Gore has of proving his scientifically. The followers of Christ are not to accept any teaching from anyone -- not from preacher or priest, prince or pauper -- that is not based solidly on the word of God. Christians are commanded to "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thess. 5:21). Your visiting preacher will have a tough time proving by Scripture that global warming is caused by an "expanding hell," whatever that means. If you ever run into him again, though, you really ought to challenge him to back up his theories with Scripture. And of course he won't be able to. --Hank |
