Who told you that only certain people are hand-picked to go to heaven?

Well, they're wrong, to put it bluntly.

In this follow up from last week's podcast, "Who Can Be Saved?", we discuss the reason so many are reverting to the Calvinistic theology that only an elect few will enter the Pearly Gates.

One of the biggest problems that exists because of this teaching is that those who are spiritually lost have taken umbrage against a God who is supposed to be so loving and kind but chooses people to go to hell at the end of their life. That's hypocritical...and we don't disagree.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that some people are elected to go to hell. And nowhere in the Bible does it say that God sends anyone to hell. Tom and Jay point to the scriptures that prove these wrong.

And they also ask and answer:

Why did God create evil?

Why did God create hell?

Why doesn't He just love us all and take us to heaven?

Why don't we all just die at the end of our lives and go into nothingness?

And we answer these questions according to the Word. Ephesians 2: 8-10 lays it out clearly and Ephesians 4:7 caps it off.
