Episode notes
Kirk Cameron's New Position
- Kirk Cameron shifted from eternal conscious torment to annihilationism, citing God's character as merciful and just.
- He frames annihilation as 'eternal destruction' that fits Old Testament language of perishing.
Way Of The Master Background
- Michael Lofton recalls Kirk Cameron from Way of the Master using the threat of hell in street evangelism.
- That background frames why a shift away from eternal torment changes Cameron's evangelistic pitch.
Don't Rely On A Single Proof Text
- Don't assume presenting proof texts will change entrenched views; people often reinterpret texts to fit beliefs.
- Approach theological shifts expecting resistance and the need for broader argumentation beyond single verses.
