Summary

Annihilationism is the view that no one suffers for eternity in hell--because according to annihilationism there is no hell. Rather, those who persist until death in their rejection of God’s gracious gift of salvation are snuffed out of existence entirely. Just as universalism is the rage in liberal Christianity, so too annihilationism has gained momentum in conservative Christian circles, with the concept once again entering into the cultural consciousness due to comments made by Kirk Cameron. Hank saw those comments and decided to weigh in on the matter in order to address whether or not annihilationism has any Biblical basis.
