Same problems, different answers

Article Abstract:

The Scots have compared their educational standards with European ones. The Howie Committee investigated how to increase staying-on rates, how to broaden education and provide vocational training. It proposed a new structure, abandoning the Higher examinations and offering a three-year Baccalaureate or a vocationally orientated two-year certificate started at age 14. Upper primary and early secondary education would accelerate learning so that Standard Grade (equivalent to GCSE) would be completed at 14.

Christ believed in the outer darkness

Article Abstract:

Donald Macleod, Professor of Systematic Theology at the Free Church of Scotland College, discusses the doctrine of hell and the relationship of the concept of evil to the Christian Church. He suggests that the interpretation of hell can be given by Jesus's Cry of Dereliction or by the frequent referral in the New Testament to an 'outer darkness.' Many Christians cannot believe in a God which send people to Hell, or in a God who condones evil such as Auschwitz.

Hell is seeing love as a weakness

Article Abstract:

Attitudes to death and afterlife, especially hell, has changed over the years. The concept of hell was used to manipulate people and to frighten them, but present-day Christians do not fear that there is hell in the afterlife. It is more likely that we experience hell in the sufferings either in our life or in the lives of those around us or in lives portrayed through the media.
