'Hell' As an Invention of the Church

in #religion • 7 years ago

Hello, I'm new to steemit. I thought I would share this video I found interesting by John Shelby Spong sharing his thoughts on Hell as an invention of the church. John Shelby Song is a retired American bishop of the Episcopal Church. From 1979 to 2000 he was Bishop of Newark. He is a liberal Christian theologian, religion commentator and author. I personally don't believe there is one true religion. I'm always in search of gnosis and try to remain as unpolarized as possible. Thanks for watching and please share your comments.

    Hey, welcome, debating liberal theologians is one of my favorite ways to get a headache! Well, second only to drinking a slurpee really fast!
