Rob Bell's new book, Love Wins, has stirred up quite a controversy with his universalist view that hell isn't a destination in the afterlife. While many pastors have taken up the counterargument to this heresy, I'm here to warn believers of a yet unmentioned implications of Bell's false teachings -- our pets are also in danger!
Bell is not the first to imply that our pets do not have to worry about hell. As far back as 1989, Disney was preaching this message: All Dogs Go to Heaven.
But Scripture is clear that unsaved dogs are going to hell for eternity:
Philippians 3:2 ESV "Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh."
Revelation 22:15 ESV "Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood."
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
A literal reading of these three separate passages, taken out of any other context, prove that our pets face a real hell in the afterlife. We cannot be duped into losing focus, into channeling our energy to improve the lives of pets that are suffering and dying in real life hells on earth. Jesus needs us to continue to debate and defend esoteric concepts of eternal punishment for any pets that don't know Him. How else will they know He loves them?
