Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Raw. We are going to continue our discussion in the doctrine of hell for this episode.

If you missed last week's episode, you need to go back and listen to that. That was titled Three Christian Views of Hell.

And I worked through, you guessed it, the Three Christian Views of Hell I talked about,

eternal conscious torment, annihilation, and ultimate reconciliation. And there's various names to go along with that.

For this episode, I am going to walk through why I have come to believe the so-called annihilation view of hell,

or as we annihilationists like to call it conditional immortality.

Again, I have a video version of this podcast. So go to my YouTube channel if you want to watch it.

And it wouldn't be helpful to watch it, I think, because I have a working keynote presentation that goes along with it.

So I'm going to be kind of even, maybe even describing certain texts and circling certain words.

So you'll kind of hear me interacting with the text in this podcast, and you'll be able to actually see me interact with the text

in the YouTube version of this podcast. If you'd like to support, show you can go to patreon.com forward slash the

Belgian Ross, show for as little as five bucks a month. Also, check out my forthcoming book, Embodied, Transgender Identities,

The Church, and what the Bible has to say. It's available for pre-order, where books are sold, i.e. Amazon.

Does anybody buy books from anything besides Amazon? I don't know. I kind of missed the old dusty bookstores.

I wish Boise here in Idaho. I had something like a Powell, you know, and you guys out there in Portland are,

you guys have like an amazing, used bookstore, I wish we had something like that. But anyway, until then, we still have Amazon.

All right, let's dive into the so-called annihilation view of hell. And you can see why I have come to believe that view

as being the most biblically faithful view of hell. Doesn't mean every single Bible-believing Christian must believe it.

I just think that it's important for every believer to go back to the scriptures and analyze why they believe what they believe.

So I hope you enjoy this wrestling with the text that I engage in as we talk about the annihilation view of hell.

Also, just in case you missed last week's episode, this episode was originally a video-based sermon that I preached

for Valley Christian Church out in double California. So you'll hear me reference the church context, especially at the beginning.
