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…

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…

ROAR’ing Through Stranger Things

Alexa Cramer, Apologetics, Christianity, discernment Categories: Theology and Christian Apologetics, Gospel, MamaBearApologetics.org, ROAR method, Stranger Things, Theology and Christian Apologetics

[Editor’s Note: This blog reviews the entire Stranger Things series. Spoilers ahead.] The ashes are still settling from the death of the Stranger Things hype following the colossal disappointment of an ending. And yet, the series will live on and continue to grow in fandom (especially as its spinoffs are released). Yeah, the ending was bad, but overall, the show excels in its storytelling and unique characters. It is rich with themes and messaging, so in this blog, we will focus on just a few prominent messages that run through the entire series. This is not going to be a ROAR for your young ones, mama bears. This one’s for your teens and up. (But only for families who choose to watch. Viewer discretion is very much advised; the show…

How to Talk to Muslims About Jesus

Apologetics, ApologeticsGuy.com, Christianity, Evangelism, Gospel, Islam, Islamic Apologetics, Jesus, Mikel del Rosario, Theology and Christian Apologetics

Respectful Muslim Engagement Something that many Christians struggle with but rarely talk about is how to begin conversations about Jesus with our Muslim friends, neighbors, or co-workers. If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to start, you’re not alone. I recently spoke with Abdu Murray, a former Muslim turned Christian apologist, on the Apologetics Guy Show. He shared a number of insights that can help you begin respectful conversations and engage with both courage and compassion. Here are 5 quick insights from our conversation. The Gospel Can Be Hard to Accept Abdu’s journey from Islam to Christ took nine years, even though he found convincing answers within the first two. Why the delay? His hesitancy to accept the Gospel wasn’t intellectual. For him, it was mostly emotional and relational. He…

Biblical Archaeology: Three New Books on Archaeology and the Bible Worth Watching in 2026

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Biblical Archaeology, Christianity, CrossExamined, Gospel, historical apologetics, history, IsChristianityTrue.Wordpress.com, reliability of the Bible, resources, Steve Lee

Biblical archaeology continues to be one of the most fascinating intersections between faith, history, and material evidence. While archaeology does not “prove” theology, it frequently illuminates the historical world of Scripture, clarifies cultural details, and sometimes confirms the existence of biblical people, places, and practices once dismissed as legendary. Three major new books released in 2026 demonstrate the growing scholarly and popular interest in archaeology and the Bible. Together, these works highlight how discoveries from inscriptions, excavations, ancient manuscripts, architecture, coins, ossuaries, and historical geography continue to deepen our understanding of the biblical world. Faith-Affirming Findings: 50 Archaeological Discoveries That Validate the Historicity and Reliability of Scripture By: Paul D. Weaver Paul D. Weaver’s Faith-Affirming Findings takes a more devotional and apologetic approach while remaining rooted in archaeological discussion. Weaver…

If God Exists, Why Is He So Mysterious?

Apologetics, Christianity, Divine Mystery, Emmaus Road, Gospel, ineffability, John Ferrer, knowledge, OnlinceChristianCourses.org, special revelation, Theology and Christian Apologetics

In philosophy of religion the topic of “divine mystery” tends to lead down long windy contentious debates about divine hiddenness, and atheistic claims that if God existed he’d be more obvious. But if we set aside that philosophical problem for a moment, there’s a theology question that shouldn’t be overlooked. Granting that God exists, why is he so mysterious? Peering down Emmaus Road An adult student brought this “divine mystery” issue to mind in a class with Online Christian Courses, a partner ministry with Crossexamined.org. Nancy asked the following question: My question pertains to Luke 24:16 (“But they didn’t recognize him, for God kept them from it”). Why did God intervene to prevent the two followers from recognizing Jesus? Wouldn’t Jesus’ message have been just as effective if the two…

Who Does God Say That I Am?

anthropology, Apologetics, Christianity, Gospel, Humanism, image of God, John Ferrer, Theology and Christian Apologetics, theology of man

Who Do We Say We Are? Have you ever met someone who thinks too highly of themselves? Of course you have. At some time or another, everyone thinks too highly of themselves. We live in a self-absorbed, screen-addicted, narcissistic age. And with all our time in front of screens, it’s a lot like a mirror. Staring into the internet abyss, eventually we see ourselves, like the proverbial Narcissus, staring back at us with a smirk. Obviously, we could all reduce our screen time, but that’s just one example of a larger problem. The bigger problem is: how do we communicate biblical encouragement about our identity when people tend to think they’re pretty amazing already? This is the plight we’re facing. People in general are not suffering from vanishingly low self-esteem.…

Genderbread Person Part 4: Sexual and Romantic Attraction

In the final installment of the Genderbread Person series, we will discuss attraction. (See parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series here: gender identity, gender expression, and biological sex) This article will probably be the most confusing out of all the Genderbread identity articles, but in order to help our kids navigate this landscape, we must know what they are being taught in school. I don’t promise that this one will be an easy ride. Find yourself a quiet spot, maybe bring along a notebook to make diagrams, and let’s look at the Genderbread Person’s definitions of attraction and break the concepts down one by one. Does desiring emotional intimacy with someone mean that they are sexually or romantically attracted to the person? #apologetics #healthysexuality Share on X In regard to whom one is attracted to, the…

The Prior Environmental Fitness of Nature: An Argument for the Existence of God

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, design argument, Environmental Fitness of Nature, Gospel, Intelligent Design, JonathanMclatchie.com, scientific apologetics, teleology

In the sixteenth century, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) developed a model of the solar system which placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at its center. Shortly before his death in 1543, Copernicus published his book, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres.[1] This sparked the beginning of a major scientific paradigm shift and marked the dawn of the Copernican Revolution, ultimately leading to the widespread abandonment of the Aristotelian geocentric model of the solar system and the acceptance of the heliocentric model in its place. Today, the Copernican revolution is thought by many to have dethroned man from his central place in nature. Recent scientific breakthroughs, however, have brought the debate over man’s place in the cosmos full circle. Over the past several decades, science has amassed considerable evidence…
