Heretic or Anathema?


Here is a link to an article about Carlton Pearson, a minister who has given up on the notion of Hell.

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3362554&page=1&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312

Carlton Pearson used to proclaim Christ as Savior, and although I didn't agree with some of his theology at the time, it would appear he has entered in to the realm of "anathema"

Here is my response to the comment section of the site:

If, as Carlton Pearson asserts, there is no hell (or more accurately, no eternal punishment), then there was no need for Jesus to die, mankind would have no need for a Savior, and the bible should be declared null and void. Since the Old Testament points to the coming Messiah, and the New Testament tells the story and conditions of salvation, neither would have any merit according to Mr. Pearson. If that is the case, what is he preaching? Why would we need Reverends? Why does he have a church and why is he being paid? If all he is preaching is a glorified, feel good hedonistic message, then he should just become a motivational speaker and drop the whole religious facade.

Second, if everyone supposedly goes to heaven, does it occur to you that Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, and every other barbaric, murderous tyrant will be there as well? In other words, it doesn't matter how we live or what we do, just live for yourself, forget others and get all you can get no matter what it costs others. The logic of Mr. Pearson's way of thinking is atrocious and breaks down rather easily.

If there is any moral law, there must be a moral law giver. If there are no consequences for actions, why do we have prisons and a legal system? How can we put someone in prison who is such a great person that they're going to heaven? "If anyone, even an angel from heaven, comes preaching any other gospel other than what we have preached, let him be accursed (anathema)"-Paul of Tarsus

I can't help feeling sorry for this deceived tool of Satan, and for those who choose to follow him.

Sadly, I have noticed, in my conversations of late, how people are requiring exacting answers/proof of everything. In this day of the wise master known as "Google", if the answers aren't accessible at your fingertips, then "whatever" is dismissed as unreal or worse, hoax.
