Hell Will Be Empty

Similar to the belief that few people will go to hell is the belief that no one will go to hell. This doctrine is called Universalism, and has gained a lot of traction in the modern era, despite having roots in the earliest days of the Christian church. Universalism states that after a period of punishment, everyone will eventually be saved by God.

While it's an admirable sentiment, it is simply not supported by theology. The Bible does not mention hell often, but when it does, it's clear that it was built to be occupied - and not just by Lucifer and his demons.

More troubling is the idea that good people who are not born-again Christians will also burn, regardless of their goodness. This means that there are a great many good people in hell who simply didn't hear the word of the Bible. Anyone born before Christ is damned, as is anyone born in a non-Christian system.
