  • Hell: Never, Forever, Or Just for Awhile?
    TMSJ 9/2 (Fall 1998) 129-145 HELL: NEVER, FOREVER, OR JUST FOR AWHILE? Richard L. Mayhue Senior Vice President and Dean Professor of Theology and Pastoral Ministries The plethora of literature produced in the last two decades on the basic nature of hell indicates a growing debate in evangelicalism that has not been experienced since the latter half of the nineteenth century. This introductory article to the entire theme issue of TMSJ sets forth the context of the question of whether hell involves conscious torment forever in Gehenna for unbelievers or their annihilation after the final judgment. It discusses historical, philosophical, lexical, contextual, and theological issues that prove crucial to reaching a definitive biblical conclusion. In the end, hell is a conscious, personal torment forever; it is not “just for awhile” before annihilation after the final judgment (conditional immortality) nor is its final retribution “never” (universalism). * * * * * A few noted evangelicals such as Clark Pinnock,1 John Stott,2 and John Wenham3 have in recent years challenged the doctrine of eternal torment forever in hell as God’s final judgment on all unbelievers. James Hunter, in his landmark “sociological interpretation” of evangelicalism, notes that “. it is clear that there is a measurable degree of uneasiness within this generation of Evangelicals with the notion of an eternal damnation.”4 The 1989 evangelical doctrinal caucus “Evangelical Affirmations” surprisingly debated this issue. “Strong disagreements did surface over the position of annihilationism, a view that holds that unsaved souls 1Clark H.

    ISBN: 91-976073-6-3 1545 Man hade börjat i Arabien, ”en ganska liten och trång ort”. På grund av de kristnas försumlighet och svaghet hade Muhammeds anhängare snart slagit under sig hela Asien, ”som är den största och bästa del av ganska hela världen”. Nu stod de i Europa, och Ungern var ”platt förhärjat”. Deras avsikt var att dra vidare genom Tyskland, och ingenting hindrade att turken en dag stod vid Östersjön och sedan tvingade hela världen ”under sitt djävulsregemente”. För att förhindra en sådan katastrof måste Sverige sluta upp vid de andra kristliga rikenas sida.

  • Eastern Orthodoxy Christian?
    Eastern Orthodoxy Christian? Is Eastern Orthodoxy Christian? by Dr. Robert A. Morey Scholar, theologian, apologist, and pastor, Dr. Robert A. Morey, defines, documents, and refutes the group of religions that go by the name "Eastern Orthodoxy," in his latest book Is Eastern Orthodoxy Christian? With a title that intentionally begs the question, the book serves as a helpful resource for Christian apologists and evangelists that desire to defend the faith and win the lost for Christ. Dr. Morey's many years of intense academic research and personal interviews with Eastern Orthodox theologians and followers have become the basis for the subjects addressed in this 200 page book. With six short chapters, two comprehensive appendixes, and hundreds of footnotes, Is Eastern Orthodoxy Christian? by Dr. Robert Morey will be among the top picks for 2008. Chapter one: In the Beginning 1 In the first chapter, Dr. Morey documents how much like Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy began well when the Jews from Egypt received the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:10). When they returned to Egypt, they shared their faith in Jesus the Messiah and founded a church on Egyptian soil. However, much like the early Roman Church again, the infant Jewish church began to attract the attention of local pagans. Eventually, the pagans outnumbered the Jewish Christians and drove out the Messianic church founders because of their protest of the importation of pagan religious ideas and rituals into the church. Dr. Morey documents the step-by-step levels of apostasy of the Egyptian Gentile church such as the solicitation of church offices in order to promote and maintain political control of the region.

  • The Hermeneutics of Conditionalism: a Defense of the Interpretive Method of Edward Fudge Christopher M
    EQ 89.1 (2018), 71–90 The Hermeneutics of Conditionalism: A Defense of the Interpretive Method of Edward Fudge Christopher M. Date Christopher M. Date is a graduate student, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California Key Words: hermeneutics; hell; eternal punishment; conditional immortality; annihila- tionism; Edward Fudge; The Fire That Consumes My friend, Edward William Fudge, passed away on November 25, 2017, after this article was accepted for publication. I am thankful I had the opportunity to speak to him on the phone before his passing and to give him the good news that my article supporting him was to be published. The truth, however, is that Edward cared little about vindication. His intelligence, wisdom, and wit were exceeded only by his humility, and he was more than willing to be maligned in the service of his Lord and love, Jesus Christ. On the Day of Judgment, whether Edward learns that he was right or wrong on the topic of hell or any other issue, his deepest desire will surely be to hear that he had faithfully shown the gracious love of Jesus to the many with whom he shared it, just as he had received it. And I have no doubt that he will hear those words we should all likewise long to hear: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’ In his preface to the first edition of The Fire That Consumes, Edward Fudge in- vites readers to carefully scrutinize his case for the doctrines of annihilationism and conditional immortality, collectively referred to hereafter as conditionalism. ‘I have tried’, he writes, ‘to follow the ordinary methods of sound, biblical ex- egesis’, and he encourages readers, ‘Check the statements made here.
