     | 5,882 views

    I have heard the terms "GO TO HELL" and "SEE YOU IN HELL" used all too casually over the years. Hell, as described in the Bible, is not something you would wish on even your worst enemies.

    Part 12 - Matthew 10:11-15 - THEY CAN GO TO HELL? I was speaking to someone about New Zealand a couple of days ago and how when we went there we had explored the colourful natural volcanic areas of Rotorua - bubbling mud, steaming ground and geysers, huge volcanic craters and weird and wonderful ...read more

I asked him what he meant and he said that he could not see how a Church could have a band out the front and what appeared to him ...read more
