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.

If you have never trusted Christ as your Savior, the invitation still stands:

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.

Many believers affirm that Jesus Christ is the Word of God—but what about the Bible itself? Is Scripture truly God’s Word, or is it only a human record of spiritual ideas?

In this lesson, Scott Mitchell responds to a listener’s question and examines what the Bible says about its own authority. From the Gospel of John to the writings of Paul and Peter, Scripture consistently presents itself as God-breathed, trustworthy, and unbreakable.

This message explains why Christians can confidently say the Bible is the Word of God—and why that truth remains central to faith, doctrine, and daily life.

What does the Bible mean when it calls Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God—and why does that phrase matter? In this message, Scott walks carefully through Scripture to show that “only begotten” is not a theological relic or a poetic expression, but a precise biblical truth that points directly to the incarnation, the cross, and the gospel itself.

This study explains why Jesus had to be born of a woman, why He had to enter the human experience, and why only a true man could die for men—while still being fully God. By comparing Scripture with Scripture, we see how the Bible uses “only begotten” to affirm both Christ’s humanity and His divinity without confusion or compromise.

You’ll also hear a clear biblical response to modern objections about the phrase “only begotten,” including the question of Isaac and Abraham, the meaning of promise, and why this language is essential to understanding salvation by grace through faith.

The Book of Enoch is often promoted as a missing key to understanding Genesis 6, the Nephilim, and the fallen angels. In Part 2 of this series, Scott Mitchell and John Potts continue testing the Book of Enoch by the only reliable standard: the preserved Word of God.

Rather than treating Enoch as inspired, this episode examines its language, claims, and internal consistency and compares them directly with Scripture. From questions about “orbits” and “luminaries,” to contradictions about eternal life, to the problem of Mount Hermon and the size of the giants, this study shows why the biblical fathers were right to reject Enoch from the canon.

This is not about dismissing history—it’s about rightly dividing the Word of Truth and keeping Scripture as the final authority.

In this message, Scott Mitchell examines the biblical warning that “the mystery of iniquity doth already work” and shows how Scripture traces this hidden system of deception from ancient Babel to the final rise of the man of sin. Using 2 Thessalonians 2 as the foundation, this study explains how something is presently restraining the full revelation of the Antichrist, even while the spiritual system behind him is already active in the world.

The lesson connects Jesus’ warnings about religious deception, Paul’s teaching on the falling away, and John’s vision of Mystery Babylon the Great in Revelation 17–18. You’ll see how false religion, rooted in Babylon, has shaped world history, why it is described as a system that traffics in the “souls of men,” and how it ultimately prepares the world to receive a false christ who will sit in the temple of God claiming to be God.

Scott also explains the biblical background of Babel, Nimrod, and the spread of idolatry through the nations, showing how this ancient rebellion against God continues under different names and forms today. The message closes with a sober warning about strong delusion in the last days—and a clear call to trust Jesus Christ, who alone will destroy the man of sin and bring this entire system to its end.

In this episode of Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott Mitchell and John Potts begin a careful, Scripture-based examination of the Book of Enoch. With increased interest in Enoch across Christian media, this study establishes clear biblical ground rules for evaluating non-canon writings without undermining the authority or preservation of God’s word.

Rather than dismissing Enoch outright—or elevating it to the level of Scripture—this episode tests the book using the biblical standard itself. Scott explains why quotation does not equal inspiration, why Scripture must interpret Scripture, and why internal contradictions disqualify any writing from being considered God-breathed.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part series.

The Book of Enoch raises important questions, but Scripture alone determines the answers.
