The Harp of God

CHAPTER III
25/50

And the Lord said: 'They that sleep in the dust of the earth shall arise' .-- Daniel 12:2.
DOES GOD TORMENT ANY ONE?
[70]For a long time men have been taught that the punishment for the wicked, those who disobey God, is everlasting torment or torture in a hell burning with unquenchable fire and brimstone.

Many have been frightened away from studying the Bible because of this terrible doctrine.

Many have refused to believe in God and the Lord Jesus because of it.

It is another doctrine of Satan, used to blind the people.

The doctrine of eternal torment cannot be true for at least four separate and distinct reasons: (1) because it is unreasonable; (2) because it is repugnant to justice; (3) because it is contrary to the principle of love; and (4) because it is entirely unscriptural.
[71]It seems strange that men with reasoning faculties should ever reach the conclusion that the all-wise Creator would eternally torment any of his creatures.
