20:36Now PlayingA serial killer who murdered 12 women found Jesus on death row. He was forgiven. Meanwhile, Steven asks about the kindest person he's ever known, a woman who lived an incredible life but didn't believe. Is she in hell? Oxford mathematician Professor John Lennox faces the hardest question in Christianity head on, and his answer challenges everything most people think about how God works.Lennox begins by making a distinction most people have never heard: the only people Jesus ever warned about hell were religious bigots.
He never threatened ordinary people who were struggling with faith. He then explains the CS Lewis interpretation of hell that has reshaped his own thinking: hell is not God stuffing people into a furnace. It is absence of God, and it is chosen. If someone spends their entire life saying they don't want God, God honors that decision. Forcing himself into their life would violate the very freedom he gave them.
Steven pushes harder with the most difficult version of the question: if a serial killer repents at the end of their life, are they forgiven? And if so, how is that fair when a good person who doesn't believe apparently isn't? Lennox shares the story of visiting a Russian death row prison, looking through the door at a gaunt man awaiting execution, and hearing him say: "I deserve to be here. But I met Jesus here, and he forgave me." Then his face burst into what Lennox can only describe as a ghastly smile. The man lying in the bed next to him had the same story.
