The Struggle for Eternal Life: Or the Immortality of the Just, and the Gradual Extinction of the Wicked (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Struggle for Eternal Life: Or the Immortality of the Just, and the Gradual Extinction of the Wicked
The result is that, even among those who have ao cepted neither the theory of universal redemption, nor the theory advocated in this volume, there is a general avoidance of the appalling revelations of the New Testament concerning the wrath to come. Men may listen to Evangelical preaching for years, and never be made to feel that their refusal to acknowledge the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ is likely to be followed by any awful consequences beyond death. The appeal to fear is being silently dropped. Augustine said that it very seldom or never happens that a man comes to believe in Christ except under the influence of terror. This sweeping statement, to whatever extent it may have been verified by his own expe rience, is flagrantly inconsistent with all that we know of the 'rise of Christian faith and hope in the souls of men in our own times. But the menaces of Christ mean something. The appeal to fear had a considerable place in His preaching;that should briefly introduce to the English translation of his Essay.

The Struggle for Eternal Life: Or the Immortality of the Just (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an argument against the traditional doctrine of eternal torment in hell for the unrepentant sinner. The author believes this dogma is unscriptural and undermines the character of God as revealed in the Bible. The author carefully examines the scriptural basis for the traditional view and concludes that it is based on a misinterpretation of biblical language and imagery, which, when properly understood, reveals that the ultimate fate of the wicked is complete and final extinction. By challenging this long-held belief, the book provides a fresh perspective on the nature of sin, punishment, and redemption, offering a message of hope and a deeper understanding of God's love and justice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333976927_0
