Summary

Top apologist, Biola professor, and author Dr. Sean McDowell guest hosts Unbelievable on the topic, 'Does God truly love everyone?'. Most Christians would say yes. At the heart of Christianity is a declaration that God so loved the world that he gave his only Son to make salvation possible for every single person. But there are very strongly held views across the spectrum about what happens when we die? What about those who have never heard? Is there a chance to acknowledge and accept God postmortem and spend eternity with him? How do we affirm the idea of God’s love for all and the idea held dear by some that Christ died for the elect. Andrew Hronich endeavors to synthesize the many strands of orthodox doctrine into a single telos: ultimate reconciliation. He is a current master's student at Princeton Theological Seminary and an associate apologist, and the author of a new book "Once Loved Always Loved: The Logic of Apokatastasis". Opposite him and arguing for the logic of damnation is Prof. Jerry Walls, Professor of Philosophy and Scholar in Residence at Houston Christian University and author of some twenty books including “Hell: The Logic of Damnation”.

0:00.0	Imagine doing a job that really matters.
0:03.0	Wouldn't that feel great?
0:05.0	Well, the reality is you probably already are.
0:08.0	The Bible tells us that pretty much all work is significant in God's purposes.
0:12.0	But what does that look like in practice?
0:15.0	That's what we'll be exploring in my new podcast. Thank God it's Monday.
0:19.0	Join me Mark Green for insightful conversations between new starters and senior leaders, conversations that
0:26.1	will help you see your job with fresh eyes. If we hold to the notion of post-mortem repentance, the idea that God adopts and never give up
0:42.1	policy after death.
0:43.2	It seems for many people very likely that in that infinite range of feasible worlds
0:47.2	there is a sufficiently populated universe-less world where God adopts a never-give-up
0:51.9	policy and all are eventually saved.
0:54.6	I think the thing that keeps hell in existence that makes it an ongoing punishment or an ongoing
1:00.5	discipline or whatever word you want to use is that they continue to send.
1:04.7	They continue to resist the grace of God and by continuing to send and resist the grace of God,
1:10.9	it's perfectly just, if that's the question to explain how they stay there forever because
1:19.2	they're choosing to stay there when you know God is open the gates of evidence
1:22.4	says please come they simply
1:24.6	will not come and if they will not ever come I don't think that that's a problem of
1:30.8	justice. Hello and welcome to Unbelievable, the show that gets Christians and non-Christians discussing
1:40.4	and debating the topics that matter to all of us.
