Why does God make people spend eternity in Hell for a few short years of sins on earth? Being tortured forever seems like way too much of a punishment. And what about Heaven? Doesn’t it just take people’s focus off of what is truly important: making the world we live in right now a better place? It doesn’t sound attractive anyway; after all, who wants to float on clouds all day? In this seminar, Don Johnson tackles all these questions and more as he takes a look at the Christian teaching regarding the afterlife.
