Some claim to believe it exists but profess to know no one sufficiently evil to deserve it.<\/span><\/p>\n Widespread, outright denial of and\/or loss of belief in Hell is a relatively recent phenomenon. Predictably, man-centered Humanism, ever-ascendant since the Renaissance (greatly boosted by Darwin), has largely cast sin, The Judgment, Heaven, and Hell on the philosophical garbage heap of history.

The ultimate question for all who claim to believe in Him as the One through Whom the Father speaks since Calvary (Mat. 17:5; John 14:6; Heb. 1:1\u20132; et al.) is this: \u201cWhat did Jesus say about Hell?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n If He believed in it and spoke of it in terms of reality, the crucial issue concerning Hell becomes the larger issue of belief in or denial of the Christ Himself. <\/strong>In the face of all of the denials, the stubborn, indisputable fact remains that Jesus said much about the existence and attributes of Hell\u2014more than He said about Heaven, in fact.
