This Christmas, remember hell’s horror, heaven’s glory • Pathway
40+ min ago (631+ words) Benjamin Hawkins, editor of The Pathway December 16, 2025 By Benjamin Hawkins Actor Kirk Cameron stirred up debate earlier this month, arguing on his podcast that he no longer believes in hell as a place of "eternal conscious torment." "Jesus died so that we could have eternal life," said Cameron, who is known for his role in Christian films like Left Behind and Fireproof." "But do the wicked have eternal life in hell?" He answered "No," apparently affirming some form of "annihilationism'according to which unbelievers ultimately cease to exist, rather than spending eternity in hell. R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, rightly countered Cameron's new views in an article on WORLD Opinions, Dec. 11.

How the biblical Temple’s 7-branched menorah became the 9-branched hanukkiah
2+ hour, 21+ min ago (916+ words) The ancient symbol of the menorah is well known around the world, and some would argue more Jewish than the Star of David. It's certainly more biblical." "You shall make a lampstand of pure gold," God told Moses according to Exodus 25:31, when giving His instructions for building the tabernacle. Each piece was described in detail, according to the pattern shown to Moses on Mount Sinai. God's directions were very precise:" That's seven branches altogether, three on each side, and one in the middle. So how did the Hanukkah menorah, now known as a hanukkiah, suddenly get nine branches?" The answer is to do with the significance of the number 8 in the Hanukkah holiday, with the ninth being the "shamash" or "servant light" with which the other eight candles or lamps are lit. The reason eight is so central to Hanukkah…...
