Summary

Questions Covered in Today’s show: -Why has most church fathers and theologians held to eternal conscious torment? -What about the parable in Luke 16 where the rich man was suffering “in torment”? -What about Revelation 20:10-15, where it explicitly says that the devil, the beast, and the false prophet are being tormented “forever and ever”? -Does Genesis 2 really imply that humans are not immortal? -Aren’t the Old Testament passages about judgment thinking of “judgment in this life” and not some kind of afterlife judgment in the next life?

0:00.0	The I'm going to do. Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of theology in the raw.
0:36.0	I'm so glad that you tuned into this episode. I want to take some time and
0:40.3	respond to most if not all of the many really really good questions that I have
0:49.7	received in response to the two-part podcast that I did on the Annihilation
0:57.2	view of Hell. If you listen to those two episodes you will remember that I was a bit nervous about releasing those like that you
1:05.3	know I have not talked about the annihilation view of hell and in a while and even though that's the
1:10.6	view that I hold it's not something that I have recently gone out of my way to
1:14.8	advertise and I know that for some people that might be troubling to hear that I hold to this view.
1:19.7	For some of you I would say for the I don't know if I can measure it that for most of you, I would say for the, I don't know, if I can measure it. For most of you, it wasn't a big deal. For some of you, it was really encouraging and maybe for, I don't know, a small percentage of you, it might have been really troubling. I don't know it's hard to measure these things.

2:06.0	have it we all have it I am trying hard to be very aware of that baggage and to
2:16.6	interpret the Bible as honestly as I possibly can. So with that posture, I welcome.
2:20.0	I beg you for your feedback, your questions, your pushbacks, your concerns.
2:27.2	Like I really do want to get the text right and we can only do that if we invite the community of other Christians into our interpretive
2:38.0	process and interpretive reflection.
2:42.1	So I'm not at all scared about pushback. In fact, I welcome it because I want to get the text right. So all let's say, I received a bunch of really good feedback from you guys, some great questions, some great
