Summary

Are doctrines like hell oppressive or outdated? Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller unpack why these difficult teachings are not only biblical but also good and necessary. The hosts clarify the doctrine of sin, argue for the justice of God’s judgment, and explain why the atonement is an act of divine love rather than “cosmic child abuse.”

0:55.0	presence then for all of eternity. And we can talk about the presence of God and hell. But the point
0:59.4	here is simply, heaven is a place where we will be gathered together to worship Christ, where we
