Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible, Vol. 1: True From the Beginning It was while examining the teaching of Scripture in its relation to future punishment, that the writer was led to consider the various and widely-different subjects discussed in the following pages. As he saw bays and inlets opening before him, he could not forbear turning from his intended course to explore them. How far he was justified in so doing, and whether the results of such exploration be satisfactory or otherwise, it is for the reader to judge. From the prayerful quest of these realms of Scriptural truth there comes a peculiar and sacred pleasure: ´As when to them who sail Beyond the Cape of Hope, and now are past Mozambic, off at sea north-east winds blow Sabean odours from the spicy shore Of Araby the Blest.´ It was formerly the writer´s conviction that the Bible taught the doctrine of the endless punishment of the wicked. To doubt the orthodox teaching on this subject appeared to him an imitation of those who seek to ´Snatch from Gods hand the balance and the rod, Rejudge His justice, be the God of God.´ After hearing the subject discussed in Bible-classes and social meetings, and meeting with so many allusions to it in the religious literature of the day, the writer thought it would be well to examine for himself the teaching of Scripture concerning human destiny. He accordingly copied the passages of Scripture that seemed to apply to the subject, and classified them thus: (i) Passages which appear to favour the doctrine of endless punishment; (2) Passages which seem to support the doctrine of annihilation; (3) Passages which seem to favour the doctrine of restoration; (4) Doubtful passages. He placed endless punishment first, thinking it most likely that examination would convince him of its truth.
