Which is, IMO, very careless. It's a show, of course, but we are combating with the reality of living in a world where things like "truthiness," "post-fact society," and "fake news" are problematic. We need more accuracy, more thoroughness, and more integrity, not less. Otherwise, you make yourself look like an *** when trying to claim to have a higher moral position while you yourself are bearing false witness.
Maybe not the show itself, but this idea of "factual accuracy not mattering" is a problem. Comedy of course does require things be spun, but the Bible doesn't actually say women who hold positions of authority over men are going to Hell. Paul says women should not have authority over a man, but he also states specifically that it's something he does not permit, but she's expected to keep quiet, not go to Hell, and it actually gets worse from there than had he condemned women-leaders to Hell.
Only 2 accounts?? I can think of a few more. I don't think most anyone really thinks people are going to a pretend place called hell whether they work on Sabbath or not. It was a joke video.
Then why do so many Christians, tons and tons and tons of them, more of them that do than don't, believe people are going to Hell?
As I said, this is humor more than anything else. Humor is not 100% accurate. There is a reason I posted this in the Jokes section.
So says the Catholics to the Protestants, the Protestants to the Mormons, the Mormons to the Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Witnesses to the Catholics. Round and round it goes, where it stops, it never does because no one has a definitive claim on that stuff. It doesn't help the Bible itself is wildly inconsistent and gives us many different visions and images.
What a silly piece of adolescent propaganda.
A humor piece from a TV show. Not an actual ad. Once again, there is a reason it is in the "Jokes" part of the forum.What a silly piece of adolescent propaganda.
OK, a TV show. Thanks.
Sometimes I use smileys when making a joke, but that feels a bit heavy handed. If I was serious I would not have posted here. Ironically it is not very different from many serious arguments for Christianity by fundamentalists.
Well Fundies deserve a joke section all to themselves, really.
Yahweh’s got the “claim”, and He gives understanding to those who worship Him, exclusively (Exodus 20 1-5). Protestants and Catholics worship a trinity.

It's interesting that you mention it because the Jews don't believe in the Christian Hell.
The original language won't clear up if Hell is real or not, or if it's a lake/pit of fire, furnace, cast out into darkness, or separated from god.
Literally, that's what they all say. But the one who says it is right, while everybody else is wrong, but that everybody else becomes the one saying it, and the original to say it is now wrong. And someone else comes along and now the first and second person to make the claim are wrong. But they can't actually demonstrate who is right or wrong, because they all come armed with their supporting verses of the Bible. There reason there are so many denominations is because no one can agree.
Well, here are some Biblical accounts (just mentioned, not cited):
The Jewish Sheol does not appear to be the same as the Christian Hell.
