Rarely mentioned anymore in the pulpit, it has faded through disuse among evangelicals and been attacked by liberal theologians. Hell is no longer only the target of those outside the church. Today, a disturbing number of professing Christians question it as well. Perhaps more than at any other time in history, hell is under fire. The implications of hell make the popular alternatives, annihilationism and universalism, appealing.

This is because many people have ignored Paul's entreaty, in Ephesians Chapter 6, to put on the full armor of God and to enter the battle field; a battle field that exists in heavenly places. When we don't wear God's armor, we end up trying to protect ourselves from difficult circumstances, sent by the evil one, by using our own natural defenses.
