I was WRONG about Hell

"I used to preach hell as a literal, burning, fire-and-brimstone torture chamber where God sends sinners for eternity. Then I read the Bible — not the Sunday school version, but the actual original languages — and discovered something that shattered everything I believed."In this paradigm-shifting episode, we explore the controversial truth about hell that most Christians have never heard — because their pastors haven't studied it either. Did you know the English word "hell" translates three different Greek and Hebrew words (Sheol, Hades, Gehenna)? Did you know that annihilationism (the belief that the wicked are destroyed, not tortured forever) was a mainstream Christian view for centuries? Did you know that early church fathers like Justin Martyr and Irenaeus described the fate of the wicked as "punishment for a thousand years" not "eternal conscious torment"? Using scripture, historical theology, and translation analysis, we examine the case for conditional immortality, universal reconciliation, and the traditional view — so you can decide for yourself. Featuring scholars from all three perspectives. This episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about God's justice, love, and the afterlife. Press play — even if it makes you uncomfortable.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/papa-s-bible-stories--6760795/support.
