Recently, the Christian world was abuzz with the news that popular Christian star Kirk Cameron had considered switching his view of hell from the traditional view to annihilationism.[1] While I will not engage the specific comments made by Kirk Cameron on his podcast, I do think that it is important to discuss the topic of hell’s duration, annihilationism, and the traditional view known as eternal conscious torment (ECT). Also, we should note that Kirk is working through his beliefs about hell. Therefore, this article and series are not a response to Kirk Cameron or his beliefs. Rather, the series serves as a necessary engagement on a hotly contested issue. This article is the first of a three-part series defending the traditional view of hell, otherwise known as ECT. The series will…

Was the sacrifice of Jesus unjust? Is common ancestry true? And what will happen when Jesus returns? This week, Frank kicks off the episode by tackling a BIG question about the implications of Jesus’ death and resurrection, and it only gets more interesting from there! As he responds to questions sent in by listeners he’ll also answer questions like: What is preterism and why doesn’t the Bible tell us when Jesus is returning? Does regeneration come before faith?

Soon vs Suddenly: An Important Distinction on Jesus’ Return

1000 years, 4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Christianity, Christians, Christ’s Return, end times, eschatology, Jesus Christ, Kent Suter, Parousia, revelation, the Lord’s Day
The word “soon” can be quite ambiguous, if not misleading. When asked about homework, a teenager might reply that they expect to finish sometime soon. In my family, that word could equal 30 seconds for one child or 30 minutes for another. But despite these variations, the word “soon” still conjures up an idea of an approaching realization, like a progress bar on your phone that reads 99% complete. We’ve all seen the signs that read, “Jesus is coming soon.” Taken straight from the Bible, we see no less than three times in one chapter when Jesus mentions “I am coming soon” (Rev 22:6-7, 12, 20). To some readers, this is a source of great hope and encouragement, but to others it is a source of mockery since it’s been…
