Netflix Film Champions Carlton Pearson, Who Said God Sends No One to Hell, Contradicting Clear Message of Jesus

Last week, Netflix released a drama about Carlton Pearson, a black minister and former bishop who rejected the doctrine of hell. He preached universalism, that all people will be saved and go to heaven. The movie, "Come Sunday," recounts Pearson's rejection of hell and his church's rejection of him, presenting his universalism as a superior doctrine, despite the fact that it contradicts biblical teaching from Jesus Himself.

"The God that we worship, from the parts of this Bible that we focus on, that God is a monster," Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays Pearson in the movie, declares at a pivotal point. "If we’re really saying that God sends billions of people to burn in hell for eternity for missing the mark, or missing the point, or being born someplace else, well that God is a monster, that God is worse than Hitler, that God is worse than Saddam Hussein." This is blasphemy, but it is also supporting a heresy.
