What if everyone is actually destined for hell?

When Christian Apologist Wesley Huff joined me on The Diary Of A CEO, he explained a central idea in Christianity that many people misunderstand.

According to scripture, the standard for being “good” isn’t simply being better than other people. The standard is God himself.

Which means, by definition, no human being meets it.

That’s what Christianity calls the bad news. Humanity can’t save itself through good actions or intentions.

Here's him breaking it down

It's after midnight, but I had to get this out of me before I slept.

8 anticipated consequences of the 'Assisted Dying Bill' which passed its second reading yesterday afternoon.

We rejoice at the work of God in Dave through His one and only Son Jesus.

Looking forward to seeing how God will use this graduate next for the cause of the gospel!

@TheRestHistory Great show! Thanks for answering my question @holland_tom and @dcsandbrook!

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

You can only travel back in time to experience one. Do you choose to watch: a) Cortés meeting Montezuma b) The death and resurrection of Christ c) Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar @TheRestHistory #RIHLive

@holland_tom Hi Tom! Any chance I could get my copy of Dominion signed when you’re in Brisbane? I’m an Ulsterman in Australia who missed you guys by 2 days in both Amsterdam and Paris in summer. I came to the D.C. show and then missed you both my minutes at the Lincoln memorial!

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

@dcsandbrook The war memorials in cities, towns and villages across Australia and NZ often leave me emotional. Love this from Kipling on the memorial in the kiwi town of Oamaru.

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

@AlexanderjbXCI No.

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

P.S. I should add I’m not a stalker and had my summer trip booked before I found out you guys were doing very similar trips! 😂

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

Yesterday I went kayaking in Arkansas. It lasted all of 2 minutes before my kayak hit a branch and capsized. My phone, which I’d decided to sit on to ‘keep safe’, was thrown into the water. Despite my desperate grasps, it was swept away by the river. Here ends my kayaking career.

When you aren’t a Baptist but unexpectedly find yourself in New Orleans for the Southern Baptist Convention…

Also had a lot of fun learning how to use the Gutenberg printing press! @museumofBible

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

Top morning spent in @museumofBible in Washington DC tracing the Bible’s ancient origins through to its ongoing role in the modern world. Felt like a visual illustration of @holland_tom’s ‘Dominion’ - everything is basically Christian!

@Shounak1 @TheRestHistory If you still have it can you DM me? Thanks

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

@dcsandbrook @northumbriana @TheRestHistory I would expect nothing less! 😃 Looking forward to it immensely!

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

@dcsandbrook @northumbriana @TheRestHistory Just getting myself into the ‘Sandbrook-ian mindset’.

[Mark Riddell @MarkRiddell12]

@northumbriana @dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory 😂😂 I also hope there will be some of Kipling’s ‘Ulster’ read to the audience!
