churches today

Many churches today do not talk about hell and judgement and yet that is mentioned in the Bible more than once- Math.25:41, Math. 25:46, Math. 8:12, Math.23:14, Rev.21:8, II Thes. 1:9, and others.  Want to guess who talked more about Hell, Christ or His followers?  Well I will not tell you, instead you can do the research and tell me.  Why am I taking this approach?  To encourage an active study of the Bible so that it stays burned in  your long term memory.  Also it has been my experience that the biggest critics on what Christianity teaches are those that read the Bible the least, if at all.  Meanwhile back on the topic:  Hell is a topic that is neglected much in the modern church.  I understand why Hell is so unpopular, but it needs to be talked about.  After all, if Christ talked about hell, so shouldn't we?  Don't believe in Hell you say?  Think I'm trying to scare you?  Well your sort of right; I am trying to motivate you to face a certain reality. And that reality is a choice  everyone  makes that determines their final destiny.  Tell me if Hell does not exist, why is it so pervasive as a concept in almost every culture?  Google 'hell in other cultures' and tell me what you come up with OK?
