Wes Huff defending Kirk Cameron on the topic of Hell, even though Wes and Kirk differ on ECT

Quoting Wes Huff:

"I’m seeing a lot of people attempting to critique it. I hold to ECT, but I do understand the topic of conditional immortality and I have yet to see anyone actually give a rebuttal that shows me they’ve interacted with the arguments and biblical reasoning from the other side. To condemn conditionalism/annihilationism as heresy is to say that John Stott, Edward Fudge, F. F. Bruce, potentially even Athanasius of Alexandria, are all heretics. This is, with all due respect, ridiculous. While the position might be unorthodox it is not heresy. If you actually want to interact with someone who knows the topic reach out to my friends
@datechris and/or @DanPaterson7
. Both are solid, fair minded, well educated and articulate..."

Texts like Ezek 28:28:14-19 and Matt 10:28 come up in those discussions as we might expect.

But I think Wes Huff's list of Bible scholars is interesting
John Stott,
Edward Fudge,
F. F. Bruce,
potentially even Athanasius of Alexandria

Dale Moody,
Clark Pinnock

could be added to that list

Why does it matter?

Why does it matter if 15 year olds are tortured for all eternity is true vs the Luke 12 and Matt 10:28 teaching of Christ is true or not?

Luke 12
5 But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk; 46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.

49 “I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!

==================

Ask anyone who has had an unsaved friend or relative die

I’m undecided on this. I have a book, 4 views on Hell and there are convincing arguments for all 4 views
