Question
Dear Freind

John 16:8 - When he comes, he will prove the world to be in
the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:

Yet many churches do not touch about Hell in their Sermons.

Isn't it right to say that " Salvation is not a necessity if
there is no Hell"

Answer
Thanks for writing, Nihal.  Since there is a hell, I wouldn't make any statement about salvation on an untruth that denies hell.  
   Because God allows good and bad to be mixed in this temporary physical life (for us to have a true choice), people often try to ignore that they will spend eternity either in total horribleness, or in total wonderfulness.  
   Some churches are afraid to offend people by reminding them what they face if they don't receive God's salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.  But what churches do does not negate the truth of God's Word.
   It is sad that so many people won't trust God to direct their lives, and so, face a terrible future separated from Him forever.
   Sincerely,
   Priscilla

I have time for you. The Bible has been my guiding light for most of the 56 years of my life. My missionary parents in Brazil kindled a love for God`s Word by their example and their love for truth. The Lord has blessed my husband and me with responsible, independent children who love and serve the Lord and are our best friends. I would enjoy discussing any subject or problem from a Biblical perspective.
