HE A VEN AND HELL:
Do They Really Exist
or
Did Man Create Them?
Wednesday, March 21, - 8:00 p.m.
Everyone has his own idea of Heaven. Some religions
describe it in graphic detail. Others merely hint at a
wonderful world to come. But Hell is often thought of as a
Christian idea ... a fiery pit to which sinners are doomed
forever. But Judaism, too, has, at one time or another, come
up with its own concepts of Hell, or Gehenna, and so the
question is universal. Do such places as Heaven and Hell
really exist, and if not, how did these concepts come into
being?
Our distinguished guest panelists, two Christian and
two Jewish clergymen, will give their views at our Akiba
program on March 21. In the meantime, here is a thought
on the subject by the late Bishop James A. Pike: “I don’t
see how there can be a heaven and a hell, because the kind
of person who qualifies for heaven would not be in bliss in
heaven knowing many people are suffering in hell. The
least they’d do is stage a demonstration, then a rescue
party, and, if that didn’t work, they’d go to hell to be with
those who are suffering.”
