Ep 414Classic Replay: Three views on hell

<p>The film “Hellbound” by Kevin Miller questioned the traditional "eternal, conscious torment" view of hell and asked whether Universalism is actually taught in scripture.</p> <p> Justin was joined by Kevin Miller, along with Glenn Peoples who holds an "annihilationist" position, and Peter Sanlon who defended the traditional view. They discussed whether questioning hell goes against evangelicalism, whether evangelism is at stake and what most Christians really believe about hell.

<p class="sc-hZiMVj fGyIRZ slate-block slate-body-placeholder">Young Earth Creationists (YEC) claim the earth and universe is only some 6000 years old according to the Bible and that any science that goes against this is flawed.</p> <p class="sc-hZiMVj fGyIRZ slate-block slate-body-placeholder">Old Earth Creationists (OEC) argue that the Bible does not commit us to a 24hr day view of creation days, but that the earth and universe is, as mainstream science predicts, billions of years old.</p> <p class="sc-hZiMVj fGyIRZ slate-block slate-body-placeholder">This debate was recorded in front of a live audience at Gunnersbury Baptist Church in 2012.
