(Protestia) Former actor-turned-evangelist Kirk Cameron has revealed that he no longer believes in ‘eternal conscious torment’ for the wicked, which he suggests is “cruel and unusual punishment.” Instead, he revealed he leans strongly towards annihilationism, saying: “It fits the character of God.”
Appearing with his son on Episode 86 of the Kirk Cameron Show, he argues:
“The Bible, particularly in the Old Testament, never talks about the eternality, immortality of the wicked souls. The only ones who have immortal souls are those who are granted eternal life. And that’s only believers.
Jesus died so that we could have eternal life. But do the wicked have eternal life in hell? And if they do, why does the Old Testament describe the fate of the wicked in the opposite terms? For example, the Old Testament describes the fate of the wicked with three words, ‘death’, ‘perish’ and ‘destroy.’
