Can Someone Be Free Grace and Reject Fundamental Doctrines?

January 14, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - ECT, essential doctrines, Substitutionary Atonement
Buddy, who asked me a question recently that led to a blog post, asked a follow-up question: I have another question that is a bit different. I have noticed a disturbing trend, that is, a number of Evangelicals are rejecting the penal substitution view of Christ’s atonement. I have even run across “free grace” people

What Edward Fudge Can’t Believe about The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31)

December 24, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - annihilation, annihilationism, conditionalism, ECT, Edward Fudge, eternal conscious torment, Hell
Now that our revised The Grace New Testament Commentary is out, I can go back to finishing up two or three book projects, such as on the “atonement” and “hell.” My book on hell will, so far (I can still be convinced of a different view), defend eternal conscious torment (ECT)—though not the ECT of

Given Eternal Conscious Torment, Is God’s Justice Ever Satisfied?

October 21, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - annihilationism, conditionalism, ECT, eternal conscious torment, Hell, the Lake of Fire
A moral objection to eternal conscious torment (ECT) is that if sinners are tormented in hell for all eternity (or, to be more precise, the lake of fire), then God’s justice is never satisfied. Think of it like a mortgage—at some point, you pay it off and satisfy the debt. Or, with a prison sentence,

Hollywood’s Hell

October 1, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - annihilationism, conditionalism, demons, devil, ECT, eternal conscious torment, Hell, lake of fire
Most people get their theological education from Hollywood. Show of hands—how many people think that Satan is the boss of hell? You know the image. It’s played as a joke—hell is where Satan rules, and the name of the game is torturing people. That’s his job and demons are his underlings. For example, that’s the

The Rich Man, Lazarus, and Samuel

January 24, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Abraham’s Bosom, annihilationism, conditionalism, ECT, eternal conscious torment, Hades, Hell, Sheol
One of the central texts in the debate over hell is Luke 16—the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. Actually, whether or not this is a parable is part of the debate. People who deny eternal conscious torment deny that Jesus’ story depicts a real situation. For example, many annihilationists want to deny it

Where Did Abraham Go When He Died (Gen 25:8-9; Luke 16:22-23)?

January 22, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Abraham, annihilationism, conditionalism, ECT, eternal conscious torment, Hell, Paradise
I am about a third of the way into writing my book about hell, tentatively entitled, Final Punishment: A Biblical Case for Conscious Eternal Torment. I’m hoping to finish by the 2019 National Conference. There is so much interesting Biblical information about death and the afterlife in the Bible. The picture is far more complicated
