Three Views of HellSteve Gregg
In this discussion about the biblical concept of Hell, Steve Gregg considers three views held by Christians. The traditional view, held by many conservative evangelicals, is eternal torment in Hell for the wicked. Gregg then discusses universalism, the possibility that all souls will eventually be reconciled with God, and annihilationism, the belief that those who cannot be saved will simply cease to exist. While Gregg does not endorse a specific view, he emphasizes that it is essential to consider how one's beliefs about Hell can impact evangelism, and notes that none of the views he mentions allows sinners to avoid judgement.
