What Does the Bible REALLY Say About Hell? (Eternal Torment vs. Annihilation)
What does the Bible REALLY say about hell?
In light of the recent “Hellgate” discussion and responses from voices like Kirk Cameron, many Christians are asking:
👉 Is hell eternal conscious torment?
👉 Or is it final destruction (annihilation)?
In this episode of the LIFTED Podcast, we walk through ALL the major passages on hell—from the words of Jesus to Revelation—to answer one question:
What does Scripture actually teach?
We cover: Eternal Conscious Torment vs. Conditional Immortality
Key passages like Matthew 25:46, Mark 9, Luke 16, and Revelation 20
The meaning of “death,” “destruction,” and “eternal punishment”
The justice and character of God
How the cross of Christ connects to the doctrine of hell
This isn’t about winning an argument—it’s about understanding God rightly and proclaiming the gospel faithfully.
🔥 Hell is real.
🔥 Judgment is coming.
🔥 And the gospel is our only hope.
“God loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you.”

The Gospel According To Social Media - The Dangers of Internet Theology
There’s a version of Christianity being promoted online right now that sounds freeing, loving, and enlightened — but quietly strips away truth. “Jesus didn’t come to start a religion.” “The Bible was voted on centuries later by politicians.” “The Old Testament God isn’t the same as Jesus.” “Don't listen to the Bible — just follow Jesus.” These statements sound spiritual… until you actually test them biblically and historically. Jesus didn’t leave us with vague spirituality. He commissioned apostles, promised the Holy Spirit would guide them into truth, and commanded them to teach everything He said. That’s why Scripture exists. The Bible wasn’t invented by Constantine, and Christians don’t worship a book — we worship the God who revealed Himself through His Word. The gospel is about freedom — but freedom only exists where truth exists. 🎙️ On this episode of the LIFTED Podcast, we’re addressing these claims head-on — with Scripture, church history, and clarity. If you’ve ever been told, “Do your own research”…We did.

Has God Rejected His People? The Future of Israel
Has God Rejected His People? The Future of IsraelHas God rejected Israel? Is the Church the “new Israel”? What does Paul actually teach in Galatians 3 & Romans 9, 10, & 11?In this episode, we examine Scripture—especially Romans—to answer one of the most debated theological questions in the Church today. Paul’s answer is clear:“By no means.”We discuss:God’s covenant faithfulnessIsrael’s partial hardeningThe grafting in of the Gentiles“All Israel will be saved”Why this matters for the gospel and the ChurchThis conversation isn’t driven by current events or political ideology, but by biblical theology and careful exegesis.
