An Examination of Conditional Immortality (Part Two)

This is a second part to a blog series in doing on the topic of hell in the Bible, re-examining the long held doctrine that has centuries of baggage with it!

In part one, I covered a lot of New Testament texts, a few Old Testament passages, plus a look at what some of the earliest church leaders also wrote on the topic. In this one, we will be looking at a few more Old Testament examples and how they relate to the imagery used in Revelation, amongst other things.

Welcome to Part Two of my study and examination of Conditional Immortality (aka Annihilationism). If you missed part one, you can read that one here.As with part one, this will be a long post as there is still much ground to cover before we can really grasp the bigger picture about what Scripture .....

"This might be the most amazing data picture you see in a lifetime! It shows the 63,779 cross-references in the Bible. The white bars along the bottom represent each Bible chapter, Gen. 1 - Rev. 22. The line’s colour shows the reference’s distance from the other. A cross-reference is a scripture that references another scripture. Had the Bible been written by one person or at one time this would still be amazing; however, the Bible was written by 40 authors over the span of 1500 years on 3 different continents.
The Bible is complex, diverse, and intricate, and yet it has one unified message: God lovingly is redeeming all who believe!"

Why Fast?
There are many reasons to fast, and recent studies have shown a lot of health benefits that can be derived from fasting. But on the spiritual side of life, there are also many benefits, one of the main ones being self-control.

Fasting: A spiritual and physical discipline

The topic of fasting often comes up in online discussion groups that I'm a part of, more often in Protestant circles where the practice is more often sidelined in low churches. So let's take a look at the practice of fasting from a practical and historical view, as it seems to be a spiritual discipl...

Is the nation of Israel in the Middle East, which we know of today, the same Israel of the New Covenant?

https://www.thatancientfaith.uk/home/perma/1444556606/article/new-covenant-israel-is-no-long.html

@ThatAncientFaith

New Covenant Israel is no longer physical (nor literal)!

If you've read my previous two articles on Israel, then this will probably seem familiar. This is a combination of the previous two combined into one study, focussing more on who Israel is under the New Covenant rather than the geopolitical/war situation of the Middle East.So Who...

Traditions and creeds go back much further than you might think – all the way back to a time of the Apostles! But how to we differentiate between apostolic tradition and that which people have created?

@ThatAncientFaith

Man-Made Tradition vs Apostolic Tradition

Quite often in discussions which are about or involve some aspects of early church history or practices earlier Christians did, someone will inevitably throw out the "show stopper" that is "it's all just man made tradition" therefore not valid and the discussion is over. It&rsquo...
