Dr. Preston Sprinkle joins Dr. Mark Turman to discuss his book Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage, how to have uplifting conversations about controversial issues, the Bible's view of marriage, and common objections to the “historical” interpretation of marriage. Show notes: Dr. Preston Sprinkle covers his reasons for writing Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage, how to have a loving, respectful conversation about tough issues, and how he became an author and speaker in this field (2:42). He talks about the need for graciousness, humility, and genuine curiosity, how Gen Xers and Boomers can easily fail at this (12:40). They speculate as to why Christians, and everyone else, seem so bad as having hard conversations (21:17). Dr. Sprinkle defends his using secular psychology and why he uses the term “historical Christian view” (24:19). They turn to discuss singleness, and why life without sex or marriage is still fulfilling in the Christian worldview (34:59). Dr. Sprinkle reflects on the foundational chapters, how to have a healthy disagreement and the foundation for the Bible's view of marriage (40:06). They hone in on two conversations: could Paul have known about sexual orientation and why some people think the evangelical view is dangerous (48:19). NOTE: We've launched our summer campaign.

Tonight we are going to look at the doctrine of hell. It's not very popular to talk about a place of eternal punishment in our culture today. But we need to. Jesus talked about hell. The apostles warned us about hell. We won't recognize how good the good news of the gospel is until we acknowledge how bad the news of hell is. So let's get started.Research links mentioned in this episode:Erasing Hell by Francis Chan

My Patreon supporters sent in a ton of great questions, some of which I address on this podcast. Do I still recommend Erasing Hell in light of my change in view? What are the best resources to defend ECT, Annihilation, and Christian Universalism? Do I still like the CSB translation knowing that all the translators are complementarian? What is Christian Nationalism? How does the killing of Annanias and Saphira square with my view of nonviolence? Does studying with a commentary take away from just reading the text? And other questions. –––––– PROMOS Save 10% on courses with Kairos Classroom using code TITR at kairosclassroom.com! –––––– Sign up with Faithful Counseling today to save 10% off of your first month at the link: faithfulcounseling.com/titr or use code TITR at faithfulcounseling.com –––––– Support Preston Support Preston by going to patreon.com Venmo: @Preston-Sprinkle-1 Connect with Preston Twitter | @PrestonSprinkle Instagram | @preston.sprinkle Youtube | Preston Sprinkle Check out Dr. Sprinkle's website prestonsprinkle.com Stay Up to Date with the Podcast Twitter | @RawTheology Instagram | @TheologyintheRaw If you enjoy the podcast, be sure to leave a review. www.theologyintheraw.com

Rethinking Hell Part 2 (Is Hell Eternal Conscious Torment?): With Jordan Sutton (2019)In this episode of The Remnant Radio, Jordan Sutton is coming on the show to continue teaching us about conditionalism. The Idea that eternal life is only given to those who believe in Christ. By deduction, those who do not believe in Christ will not live eternally. Some have chosen to call this annihilationism, in short, we are discussing if hell is eternal conscious torment as it has been portrayed by media and the church, Or his Hell a place where people cease to be?Jordan will also be responding to some of the objections to conditionalism. ____________________________________________________________________________________Help Support The Channelhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6____________________________________________________________________________________ACADEMIC RESOURCES ON CONDITIONALISM The Fire That Consumes: A Biblical and Historical Study of the Doctrine of Final Punishment, 3 ed. by Edward William Fudge https://www.amazon.com/Fire-That-Consumes-Historical-Punishment/dp/1504029348Rethinking Hell: Readings in Evangelical Conditionalism Edited by Christopher Date, Gregory Stumphttps://www.amazon.com/Rethinking-Hell-Readings-Evangelical-Conditionalism-ebook/dp/B00K6Y48L2/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=Rethinking+Hell:+Readings+in+Evangelical+Conditionalism+Edited+by+Christopher+Date,+Gregory+Stump&qid=1569282964&s=books&sr=1-1-fkmr0____________________________________________________________________________________ACADEMIC RESOURCES ON TRADITIONAL POSITIONHell Under Fire: Modern Scholarship Reinvents Eternal Punishment 2004 Editors (Christopher W.

God has gifted and equipped all of us differently. Some of us are prayer warriors, and others glorify God with their service. A few of us have been called to teach and to study and know God's Word. We tend to see these teachers up in the “ivory tower,” somewhat removed from the mission and the people. I'm here to tell you today that not all teachers are distant from the people they teach. That is the exact opposite of my guest, Preston Sprinkle, who is a clearly gifted scholar and teacher who wants to be in the middle of all the action. Preston loves to write. He's written books on just about everything, but recently he is making waves in Christian circles with his Biblically-based perspectives on hell and homosexuality. Preston is a guy who has studied the word thoroughly during most of his adult life. Above all, Preston believes in the power of Scripture to change our lives, so naturally, he uses Scripture to inform his perspective on some of the toughest issues the church is facing. His book, Erasing Hell that he co-wrote with Francis Chan demystified some of our most common misunderstandings of an unsaved destiny. People to Be Loved tackles how we, as the church, should love those who identify as homosexual while still maintaining a Biblical standard of marriage. Instead of staying high up in theology land, Preston wants to educate people with practical wisdom so that they can be the hands and feet of Jesus. In this conversation, Preston admits to struggles and setbacks with humility and plenty of grace. While he is a scholar at heart, Preston is also a man of the people. He has so much wisdom to share with you today that you do not want to miss. It's a power-packed episode, so let's get started. More in this episode: Preston shares his background in education, and why it is so important to him now. Preston wants to go as deep as he can in Scriptures, but then see how it plays out in real life. Ezra 7:10 and Psalm 115:3 model how Preston wants to first study the word and then execute it How Embracing Hell came to be, and why Preston fell in love with writing. The point in Preston's faith where he knew he was facing burnout. Jesus has taken the full punishment of our sin! Preston gets real about his struggles. Why People to Be Loved was such a huge undertaking that impacted so many. The advice Preston would give to his younger self.

In this episode, Jay and Isaac chat with Preston Sprinkle. Preston is a professor, speaker, and the bestselling author of several books, including Erasing Hell, Fight, and People to be Loved. He also hosts a popular podcast called Theology in the Raw. They discuss the various views on hell and Preston’s personal journey from one particular view on hell to the uniquely different view he holds today. For many people, the topic of hell poses one of the greatest challenges to embracing the idea that God is good and loving and just. We hope this conversation opens up the dialogue and helps to broaden your horizons as you think about the topic of hell.
