Popular Arkansas Pastor Timothy Rogers Calls Hell a 'Fairytale' No Different Than Santa Claus

Timothy Rogers, a popular Arkansas evangelist and singer, is coming under fire after he recently declared at a funeral that Hell is a "fairytale" no different than Santa Claus.

Rogers, 38, who leads the Prince of Peace church in Blytheville, made his comments during a more than hour-long presentation at the funeral of a young man he said he did not know but was of the same generation.

"'Is he (the young man who passed) going to Hell? Did he accept Jesus as his ...?' See, y'all have been sold a lie. You've been bamboozled. All that stuff is a fairytale. To believe in Hell means you have to believe in Santa Claus. I don't care how you cut [it]. Hell is an imaginary place. And I was told that if anything that does not have an explanation must be imagination," Rogers declared.

That's what the unsaved want to hear, but it isn't what they need to hear.

Another in a sad, but growing long list of false teachers.

That isn't what my says. Gods word has the final authority not some lying pastor. We know another person who was a pastor in Arkansas, and he wouldn't agree with this false teacher that is Mike Huckabee.

So what he’s actually saying is that Jesus was lying when He talked about it.

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes at whichever judgement he ends up at. He's a PASTOR!!! He's supposed to preach and teach The Gospel and everything in the Bible, shepherd his flock, and correct errors, not propagate and promulgate them

This is a great example of why Pastors and Teachers will be held to a higher standard. What they say and do affects more than just themselves.

Where are the Elders in that church?
The website for the church is down.
Hopefully the Elders and/or other leaders there are doing something.
Although it just may be that the servers crashed or were shut down due to incoming.
