Rethinking Hell

Chris Date and Tony Costa engage in a lively debate on the nature and duration of hell, focusing on the concept of immortality granted only to the saved. They explore biblical perspectives, resurrection bodies, and differentiate between believers and non-believers. The discussion includes immortality of angels, interpretation of biblical passages like 'destroy,' and debate on conscious immortality. The episode ends with a call for audience interaction and hints at a follow-up episode.
