Should Christians Forgive Without Repentance? | Counterfeit Forgiveness w/ Teasi Cannon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does biblical forgiveness require repentance? And have Christians sometimes confused forgiveness with simply "letting go" of what someone has done? Teasi Cannon joins Josh Klein and Tim Stratton to discuss her book Counterfeit Forgiveness and challenge some common assumptions about forgiveness in the church. They explore the difference between biblical and therapeutic forgiveness, whether Christians are called to forgive unrepentant offenders, the relationship between forgiveness and reconciliat
Is William Lane Craig a Heretic? The Trinity Controversy Explained (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is William Lane Craig of @ReasonableFaithOrg a heretic for questioning the doctrine of eternal generation? And does his view actually put him outside the boundaries of Nicene Christianity?

We discuss consciousness, ra
Can Traditionalism, Annihilationism, & Universalism ALL Be Right? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can Traditionalism, Annihilationism, and Universalism all be right in some sense? In this episode, Josh Klein and Dr. Tim Stratton sit down with Chad McIntosh to discuss his provocative proposal concerning the nature of hell, the fate of the damned, and what it means to bear (and potentially lose) the image of God.
