On June 2nd, 2007 at Oasis Church in Moreno Valley, a 3 on 3 panel debate took place on the issue of hell. The question was as follows: Does the Bible Teach that Hell is a place of eternal conscious
torment? Former evangelical Christian Steve Scianni, Patrick Navas and myself (Dan Mages) offered arguments that display that the Biblical authors did not believe or teach that hell was as a place of
eternal, conscious torment, but a place of complete and total destruction of both body and soul. Gene Cook, Mike Sarkissian and Joel Hughes attempted to uphold that the Bible teaches hell as the
place of eternal, conscious suffering. Listen in and decide for yourself which position interprets the data more carefully and coherently. Note that this debate was not about what any individual
specifically believes, but a discussion about what the Bible as a whole teaches on the subject. I would like to advise the listener that our debate team was not given an audio copy of the debate so I
had to purchase a one from Gene Cook's website. As I was listening through, I noticed that the audio had been edited and portions of the actual debate were left out. I therefore had to take the
recording I did from the computer in front of me during the debate and splice them together. This accounts for the two differing qualities of audio during a few segments. For a great list of articles
and links regarding this topic, visit the articles page on the religion page of www.hungertruth.com I specifically want to recommend the articles written by my friend Steve Scianni as I believe he
has written some of the best material available on the subject. Lastly, please consider contributing a dollar to HungerTruth for each episode. Since I put up one or two a month, one or two bucks a
month seems like a reasonable price. You can use the donation link on the toolbar at www.hungertruth.com. Music by: Download "Church Lady" (mp3) from "The World As I See It"by Dennis FerrerKing

On Feburary 12th, 2007 I had a truth talk with my T.A of my Paul and the Law course I took at Fuller Theological Seminary, Matthew Barnes. Feeling called to the ministry at a young age, he went to
Hardin Simmons University in Abilene Texas. Although raised in a staunch Southern Baptist home, Matt says the school was quite moderate. Realizing he wanted to become a professor, he continued his
education at Truett Seminary. Matt studied under Dr. Roger Olson who he says taught him to be critical and open, Dr. Gloer who taught him to be socially aware and deeply spiritual, and Dr. Still who
taught him to be meticulous and kind. In May of 2006 Matt and his wife Alida moved to Southern California from Texas so that Matt could pursue his PhD at Fuller in New Testament under Dr. Donald
Hagner. Matt teaches an adult Sunday School class at Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, enjoys playing the guitar, reading fantasy novels, writing in his blog: In The Corner with Matt: Religion, Sports,
Philosophy, Life. Recent posts (which was back in February included musings on the anthropology of Second-Temple Judaism, a reflection on the Lenten Season and an evaluation of the Dallas Cowboys
last head-coaching change. You can find his blog at inthecornerwithmatt.blogspot.com. He also has a devotional blog on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/cowboymatt43. Matt can be reached at
cowboymatt43@gmail.com. Listen in as we discuss his theological pilgrimage and dive into an interpretation of the Apostle Paulâs letters which have been designated the New Perspective on Paul.
