Hank also answers the following questions: Would you consider Joseph Smith a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Jesse - San Antonio, TX (3:25) Can you explain your view on the degrees of punishment in hell? Does Adolf Hitler suffer worse than others in Hell? Jason - NY (5:25) How do I respond to those who deny the existence of hell? Gene - Modesto, CA (15:12) Would it be unethical for a church to ask a pastor from another church to be their pastor? Joe - Port Huron, MI (20:40) I heard your conversation with a Mormon, and wondered why you never pressed him on the question: “Where did Jesus come from?” Robert - Fresno, CA (21:55)
