Bible Mysteries

In this second part of our duocast with Pete Ohlinger from the Days of Noah Podcast, we continue examining one of the most serious and debated doctrines in Scripture: the nature of hell.

Does the Bible teach eternal conscious punishment, or do the lost eventually cease to exist through annihilation?

Building on the foundation laid in Part 1, Scott and Pete dig deeper into key passages that describe the final judgment, including the Lake of Fire, the Second Death, and the Great White Throne judgment. Along the way, they discuss how Scripture interprets Scripture, why context matters when studying words like eternal and everlasting, and how Jesus Himself warned repeatedly about the reality of hell.

The conversation also addresses common arguments used to support annihilationism and compares them with passages that describe unending punishment. Special attention is given to the words of Jesus in Mark 9, the account of the rich man and Lazarus, and the prophetic descriptions found in Revelation.

This discussion is not about winning a theological debate—it is about faithfully examining what the Bible says and allowing Scripture to shape our understanding of God’s justice, mercy, and the eternal consequences of rejecting the gospel.

Join us as we conclude this important conversation and consider what the Word of God reveals about eternity.

One of the most debated questions in the Book of Acts is whether the Jewish believers in Jerusalem continued living under the Law of Moses after believing in Jesus Christ.

Acts chapter 15 records a major council in Jerusalem where the apostles and elders gathered to address a serious dispute: some believers were teaching that Gentiles could not be saved unless they were circumcised and kept the Law of Moses.

Was this teaching correct? Were the early Jewish believers still obligated to keep the law? Or had something fundamentally changed with the death and resurrection of Christ?

In this lesson, we examine the Scriptures that clarify the relationship between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. From the words of Peter, Paul, and the prophets, the Bible reveals that the Law of Moses was never meant to provide righteousness—it served as a schoolmaster pointing to Christ.

When Jesus shed His blood, He fulfilled the law and established the New Covenant. Because of that finished work, believers today are not justified by the works of the law but by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Join us as we walk through the key passages that explain why Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Key Scriptures

Acts 15:1–11

Jeremiah 31:31–34

Matthew 26:26–29

1 Corinthians 11:23–26

2 Corinthians 3:6–17

Romans 10:1–4

Hebrews 7:11–22

Galatians 3:19–25

Colossians 2:13–17

In This Lesson

Why Acts 15 became a turning point in the early church

What Peter meant when he called the law a “yoke”

Why the Old Covenant had to be replaced

How the New Covenant was established through Christ’s blood

Why Jesus could not serve as High Priest under the Law of Moses

What Paul meant when he said Christ is the end of the law

The true purpose of the law in leading people to Christ

Why believers today live in the liberty of the New Covenant

A Final Thought 

The Law of Moses revealed sin but could never remove it. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus Christ fulfilled the law and brought in a better covenant—one based on grace, righteousness, and the power of the Spirit.
If you have never trusted Christ as your Savior, the invitation still stands:

“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

And for those who are in Christ, Scripture reminds us to stand fast in the liberty we have in Him and not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

In this special Duocast episode, Scott is joined by Pete Ohlinger of The Days of Noah Podcast for a thoughtful and biblical discussion on one of the most debated doctrines in Christianity today: Is hell eternal?

Recent public conversations among well-known Christian voices have revived interest in the doctrine of hell — specifically the debate between eternal conscious torment and annihilationism (conditional immortality). What does the Bible actually teach?

In Part 1 of this two-part discussion, Scott and Pete:

Introduce their ministries and the purpose behind their podcasts

Discuss the growing trend of doctrinal shifts in modern Christianity

Define eternal conscious torment and annihilationism

Examine whether immortality is inherent or conditional

Explore whether unbelief is the core issue in eternal judgment

Address the justice of God and the nature of divine punishment

Consider the “age of accountability” question

Begin examining key passages in Revelation concerning the Lake of Fire

This conversation is not about controversy for its own sake — it is about returning to Scripture and carefully handling what God has revealed.
As always, we approach this topic with humility, recognizing that while this is not a salvation issue, it is a serious theological one that deserves careful study and discernment.

Part 2 will continue this discussion and examine additional biblical texts and theological implications.

What did Paul mean when he wrote, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard…”?

This verse is often quoted as a poetic reference to heaven—but in its full context, it speaks of something far more specific. Paul was not pointing to imagination. He was declaring a mystery once hidden in God and later revealed by the Spirit.

In this lesson, we examine:

The full context of 1 Corinthians 2

Paul’s citation of Isaiah 64

The connection between loving God and waiting for Him

What it means to “love His appearing”

The mystery revealed to Paul in Ephesians 3

How Jew and Gentile are made fellow heirs in Christ

Why loving God includes loving your brother

What God has prepared for those who believe

The phrase “Eye hath not seen” does not mean God left us uninformed. The hidden wisdom of God has now been revealed through the gospel. The mystery is that salvation is available to all—Jew and Gentile alike—through faith in Jesus Christ.
To love God is not merely to say it. It is to believe on His Son, proclaim the truth, endure in faith, and look for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Christ is coming.

The mystery has been made known.

And what lies ahead surpasses anything the human heart has conceived.

Key Scriptures

1 Corinthians 2:6–10

Isaiah 64:1–5

Matthew 22:36–40

Titus 2:11–13

2 Timothy 4:1–8

1 John 4:7–21

1 Thessalonians 1:2–10

Ephesians 3:1–11

The Gospel 

If you have never trusted Christ, believe the gospel.
Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day for your justification. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
If you are saved, love His appearing. Let it be known.

In this final installment of our series on the Book of Enoch, Scott Mitchell examines one of the most important questions of all: does the Book of Enoch meet the biblical standard for Scripture?

This episode focuses on three critical issues—canon, intercession, and biblical authority—and compares the claims of the Book of Enoch directly against the Word of God. Scripture is clear that God has promised to preserve His Word, that Jesus Christ alone is our intercessor, and that angels are ministering spirits, not mediators.

We also look at what the Bible actually teaches about access to the heavenly realm, why Christ’s sacrifice is central to that access, and why the Book of Enoch’s descriptions do not align with the timing and structure of redemption laid out in Scripture.

The Book of Enoch may be historically interesting, but history is not inspiration. In this episode, Scott lays out why the early church was right to reject it from the canon—and why believers should test every extra-biblical writing against the preserved Word of God.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

Why God’s promise to preserve His Word matters when testing any book

What Scripture teaches about who can intercede—and who cannot

Why angels are ministers, not mediators

How the Book of Enoch conflicts with the Bible’s teaching on judgment and intercession

The difference between Ezekiel’s and John’s visions of God’s throne—and why timing matters

Why access to the heavenly throne is only possible after Christ’s atoning work

How Hebrews explains when the way into the holiest was truly opened

Why the Book of Enoch fails the biblical test for inclusion in the canon

Key Scriptures Discussed

Psalm 12:6–7 – God’s promise to preserve His Word

Genesis 6:5–8 – God’s judgment on the wickedness of man

Isaiah 53:10–12 – The Messiah as intercessor

Hebrews 7:24–25 – Christ ever lives to make intercession

Romans 8:26–27 – The Spirit’s intercession for the saints

Hebrews 1:4–14 – The nature and role of angels

Psalm 8:3–8 – Man’s place in God’s order

Psalm 115:16 – The heavens are the Lord’s, the earth given to men

Ezekiel 1:26–28 – Ezekiel’s vision of God’s throne

Revelation 4:1–8 – John’s vision of the throne in heaven

Hebrews 9:6–12 – When the way into the holiest was made manifest

Job 4:18 – God charging His angels with folly

Summary

The Bible does not leave the question of authority open-ended. God has preserved His Word, and He has revealed a clear structure for redemption, intercession, and divine order. When the Book of Enoch is tested against that standard, it falls short—especially in its teaching about angels, intercession, and access to the heavenly realm.
This episode concludes the series by showing why the Book of Enoch should be treated as historical literature, not Scripture—and why believers must keep the canon grounded in what God has preserved and promised.
