  • Episode 7 | LIVE DEBATE: Does the Bible Support Universal Salvation or Eternal Hell?
    Nov 5 2022

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.
