Hell: Eternal Torment or Annihilation? Why George Janko’s View Doesn’t Hold Up

annihilationism, Apologetics, Christianity, Final Judgment, Gospel, Hell, Jason Jiminez, StandStrongMinistries.Org, Theological Apologetics, Theology and Christian Apologetics
The George Janko Show in 2025 discussed the topic of hell, featuring guests like Girls Gone Bible, Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle, Johnny Chang, Bryce Crawford, and Ruslan. The main issue Janko struggles to accept is that people who reject the gospel of Jesus Christ will suffer for all eternity in hell. He advocates for the annihilationist view of hell. George Janko, who happens to be a relatively new Christian, put forth the topic of hell to get the perspective of his guests. He starts by saying, “I think that hell is eternal the place of hell is eternal, but I read Scriptures like ‘do not be afraid of the man who could destroy the body but could destroy the body and the soul in hell’…if you choose to live away…

Baylor University: Wolves in Shepherd’s Clothing?

What’s going on at Baylor University? After exposing the administrative roadblocks that led to the cancellation of a recent college tour event, Frank returns to address some anticipated objections and dig even deeper into his concerns about the university. He’ll address questions like: How do Marxist principles conflict with biblical teachings on justice and impartiality? How is Baylor violating their own core values on inclusion and diversity? How do some of Baylor’s courses give supposed intellectual justification for violence? What is the purpose of a Christian university? What is the worst advice of the past century? Should academic freedom have limits? How can Christian schools teach other religions and worldviews without compromising biblical truth? Why would a Christian school be tempted to compromise on Christian values? What schools (if any)…

The Fine-Grained Historicity of Acts – Part 1 

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, biblical apologetics, Book of Acts, Christianity, Gospel, historical apologetics, JonathanMclatchie.com, Paul, Undesigend Coincidences
Last year, I published a lengthy essay titled “The Book of Acts is High-Resolution Reportage,” in which I documented and discussed no less than forty undesigned coincidences between Acts and the first four epistles found in our New Testament – i.e., Romans, the Corinthian letters, and Galatians. Cumulatively, this class of evidence supports the historicity of Acts down to the granular detail. In this article, I will strengthen this case still further by adducing an additional set of undesigned coincidences drawn between Acts and the remaining Pauline epistles. Here, [in this 3-part series] I lay out a total of twenty-two examples of interlocking correspondences between Acts and Paul’s epistles. There is one overlap (#9 below) with those covered in my earlier article, since the epistle to the Philippians was of relevance…
