I’ve read these references, you and I have been around on this. My responses have been for those who seek a biblical answer and avoid the error of this ‘new’ idea.

And just as with Martin Luther’s ideas, what brought the ideas to the surface was a renewed ability of all Christians to access and read God’s word. In the modern case it is easily available internet searches, greek lexicons, etc. Just one example: At no time in my entire time as a Christian (from 1981) did any pastor reveal to me that the word “Hell” in the KJV was translated from the word Gehenna, nor did they clarify the meaning of Gehenna and its history.
Today, any Christian can go to Biblehub and other sites and look it up themselves. It is sort of a modern Martin Luther. :-)
