    Episode 7 | LIVE DEBATE: Does the Bible Support Universal Salvation or Eternal Hell?

    In this episode, which was recorded live for a club meeting at my high school, I debate my fellow classmate, Liam McDaniel, on whether or not the Bible supports eternal damnation or universal reconciliation? I believe that this debate is very informative and is the best debate I have participated in, at least as of right now, due to its highly-researched content and diametrically opposed viewpoints.
