Ep. 107 God's Love and Victory: Evaluating the Annihilationist Appeal

Text Us! In this episode, we continue our discussion on Annihilationism with Chris Jordon. We specifically address 2 of the points made by Greg Boyd in his article on Annihilationism. The first point is whether a loving God can truly allow a person to suffer in a literal eternal hell. The second point is whether the eternality of hell somehow undermines the victorious nature of God.Here is the link to the article we discuss in this episode: https://reknew.org/2008/01/the-case-for-annihilationism/Here is the book on hell that was referenced by Zondervan: https://a.co/d/4EzmJtXTo learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast".

Ep. 106 Is the Soul Immortal? A Critical Look at Annihilationism

Text Us! On this episode, we are joined by one of our newest professors at Free Gospel Bible Institute, Chris Jordon, to discuss the Annihilationist perspective on eternity. In this episode we address an article written by Greg Boyd. Particularly, we look at his claim that the soul of man is mortal and only receives immortality when it is granted eternal life from God at salvation. Further, we dissect the hermeneutical approach to terms in Scripture that seem to indicate that "eternal" and "forever" do not necessarily need to be taken in a literal sense. Here is the article we address in the episode: https://reknew.org/2008/01/the-case-for-annihilationism/Here is the book on Hell by Zondervan that was referenced in the episode: https://a.co/d/2WxzoebTo learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast".

Ep. 104 Luke 16: Literal or Parable?

Text Us! Was Jesus telling a parable—or giving us a glimpse into eternity? In Luke 16, the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus has stirred debate among scholars for quite some time. Some see it as a vivid illustration of hell’s reality, others as a true account of a man crying out from the flames. In this episode, we dig into the context, propose the view that seems to make the most sense to us, and draw out the timeless truths Jesus wanted us to see: the finality of judgment, the urgency of repentance, and the hope found in God’s Word. Join us as we explore what this powerful passage really means for life—and eternity!To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast".

Ep. 103 Listener Question: The Posture of the Young Preacher

Text Us! In this episode, we address a question that was sent into us by a young preacher. He asks, "as a young preacher, it is my desire to be as effective as I can be. How ought I to approach or posture myself toward the congregation, God, and even myself?" We spend some time addressing this question, pointing back to Christ as our ultimate example. To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast".
