Discussion on HELL
with Tom Cabeen (5/16/08)
Randy's Site Links:
The Watchtower and the Ante-Nicene Fathers
Hell: Traditionalist vs. Conditionalist Views
I could have added the ante-Nicene Fathers, or at least the Apostolic Fathers,
but even they are pretty heavy reading for most readers. I love them, but they
are not for everybody. That is why I didn't put them on the list.
