For centuries, many have been taught to believe that the Bible presents a vivid picture of a fiery Hell, where God sadistically torments most of humanity by burning their skin for all eternity.

How about pranking someone? Are we allowed to steal from the rich to give to the poor? The analysis will cover the dilemma from both a philosophical and legal perspective.

Both the study of Jewish prophecy and the approaches of both of the scholars are complex topics, but not impossible to decipher. The nature of revelation is also part of this discussion.
