Edward Fudge presented material from his book The Fire That Consumes. While important, it should not be considered a matter of salvation. Come let us reason together. further more recent clarification: "The message of final punishment is not the gospel. However, it is a shadow message that accompanies the gospel whenever the gospel light is obstructed by sinful unbelief. Hell is the consequence of rejecting God's undeserved mercy in Jesus Christ. It is the alternative to eternal life. Hell is not the most important doctrine of Scripture by any means, but it is certainly not unimportant." (Edward Fudge, The Fire That Consumes 3rd edition pg 377) Recorded at Christian Gospel Temple in Cross Plains, Tennessee in August 2008 The links for this complete presentation are here: http://media.cgtchurch.net:8080/archive/guest/081608_Fudge1A1.wmv http://media.cgtchurch.net:8080/archive/guest/081608_Fudge_1B1.wmv http://media.cgtchurch.net:8080/archive/guest/081608_Fudge_1C1.wmv The Fire that Consumes: a Biblical & Historical Study of the Doctrine of Final Punishment Popular tradition says that God will make the wicked immortal and then torment them forever. The Bible says the wicked will die, perish and be destroyed in hell, and never be seen again. If that is so, where did the popular doctrine come from and why is it held by so many? Does it really make any difference which view we hold? Edward is the author of the 500-page book The Fire that Consumes, recognized around the world as a standard reference on this subject. for more info go to: http://edwardfudge.com/written/fire.html or to: http://edwardfudge.com/speaking_topics.html
