Back to EpisodesIs Eternal Punishment Compatible With a Loving God?
Description
Hell is one of the most debated—and often misunderstood—doctrines in Christianity. For many skeptics, it feels like the clearest evidence against Christianity. For others, it’s an essential, non-negotiable part of the gospel. So how should we really understand it?
In this episode, Dr. Paul Copan joins Sam Raju to take a careful, biblical look at what Scripture teaches and to address some of the strongest moral and intellectual objections. Is eternal punishment compatible with a just and loving God? How should Christians respond to the charge that infinite punishment for finite sins is unjust?
This conversation aims to move beyond caricatures and think clearly, honestly, and biblically about one of Christianity’s most challenging teachings.
