David Falk is a very clever man who knows a lot about the bible - specifically Egypt in the bible. His recent video on Hell and my interaction in the comments with him is worth recording here.
Jesus absolutely did NOT talk more about hell than he did heaven. I don't think it, I know it. I researched every instance where he talked about both, and it's about 5 to 1 in heaven's favor. Preachers and otherwise nice people repeat that mantra because they've heard it, a lot. Completely untrue, and I didn't even count some of the places where Jesus was talking about the kingdom of God, but in the context of the passage, you could tell He was talking about heaven.
Great dialogue, Phil - your counterarguments & those of Chris Date in his video 'put to rest this walking corpse' of Falk's superficial view of CI, so to speak; I'm sure Falk must be authoritative on Egyptology, but certainly not on the intra-mural hell debate, to borrow Date's expression.
