Ehrman about his new book Heaven and Hell: A History of the Afterlife. John starts by asking if the Bible is crystal clear that all human beings have eternal souls? When we die we are immediately judged to either enter heaven if we have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior or if we haven't, our souls will be cast into hell to be tortured for eternity?
