Kirk Cameron, Hell, and the Church Fathers

from FACTS · host Stephen Boyce

Kirk Cameron’s recent comments on hell have reignited a long-standing debate within Christianity: Is hell eternal conscious torment, annihilation, or something else entirely?In this episode of FACTS, Stephen Boyce moves beyond modern soundbites and return to the early Church Fathers to examine what the earliest Christians actually taught about judgment, punishment, and the fate of the wicked. We explore how early Christian writers used biblical language such as “death,” “destruction,” “fire,” and “eternal,” and whether that language supports eternal conscious torment, annihilationism (conditional immortality), or a more complex historical picture.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7
