[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 163977, member: 17438"] My dear brothers and sistes :sippingcoffeemunda: I find it very encouraging that a Baptist minister is moving beyond literalistic notions of heaven and hell. God is everywhere. He is Being Itself and all other beings are only beings in so much as they participate in, share and live from Him. Such a God could not possibly send his beloved souls to a created, fiery place called hell - [I]there is no place without God, which would mean that if hell were a place (which it isn't) he would also be there in all his Love and Goodness, since his absence would mean non-existence.
