Of course fithe old idea of ‘Hell and brimstone in .no longer believed by many people. VI'he Greek word “Gehenna” translated 'Hell in the New Testament is the ,Greek representative of the Hebrew "‘GeHinnom." or Valley of Hinnom, ‘n deep and narrow glen to the south ;of Jerusalem, where the Jewish idol- Vaters in the days of Aha: sacrificed itheir children to Molech, and which in lJeuus' day became the common refuse lplace for the city, when the bodilu 10f criminals and carcasaea of animal. land refuse of the' city were burned. :And so “Hell" and “Hell-fire" won “How shall we escape it we neglect great salvation 1'" in this life or the life to come. Here are Christ's own words in Matthew 12:31-33, “Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men but the blasphemy against the spirit shall not be forgiven. But whoeoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world. nor in that which is to come." Then the statement that is so fre- quently made that a father would not so punish a child, does not state the case at all. God is a father. but He {is more than that, He in also God and Creator. So let the Church preach Judgment as Jesus did, keeping it in the back- ground of love and mercy, but keep- ing it, with the sense of right end justice, ever in mind, plegding with men and women to be reconciled to God through faith in Christ, with the query of the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews ever ringing in our an: But when we try to say definitely when and what and where that judg- ment is to be we merely engage in speculation. So let us leave the whole matter where Jesus left it. He left some in “Paradise" and others in “outer darkness.” Certainly we can do no more and no less, assured that the judge of all the earth will do right. And we must admit that there '- I tone of finality About the Gospel which everyone must. feel. and the Bible does not allow us to get I", from the fact that it is “Ippointed un- to men once to die end after thnt the judgment." But acknowledging that eternal punishment for sin (be that what it ninyl is possible. can we say that such punishment is unending? ()f the three theories considered this one seems to have far more support in scripture than any other; And more people be- lieve it today than any other And certainly there is a note of tinullty and a preponderance of statement con- cerning the sure punishment of sin and the sure judgment of God in the scriptures which no one can escape. lll. We now come to the third theory of Punishment or the Judgment of the Unregenerate and Wicked. which has met with more favor in Christendom than all the other: com- bined. Not believing that the scrip- tures teach that all aouls will eventu- ally be saved. whether we love and obey God in this world or not, many have aflirmed their belief that the Bible teaches that the believers and obedient who accept Jesus a: their master and Savior, and try to obey and serve God will be saved to eternal peace and bliu and a life of fellowahip with God and Hia saints; while thoae who die in their ain- and unbelie! and out of fellowship with God by accept. ance of and communion with Christ, shall endure forever in a state of un- bleaeedneu, continuing in their unbe- lief and amusement from God throughout eternity. Now this belief hu bon supported by such mm of scripture u Christ's statements in Metthdw when the righteous nnd the wicked are up- nnted and no remain “pant. forever, and the shnrp division Ind fixity 01‘ condition pictured in Luke’s nccount o! l Christ’s parable of the rich men and’ Lazarus, and the pause from Reve-‘i lation where the judgment of continu-. ance in righteousness or wickedness} as we have lived here. is pronounced! before the Book of Divine Revelationrj is sealed and the great book closed. ‘ THE mom pm mm mam!) PARK 1111:1015 And there are four passages of scripture in the New Testament which specifically state that there is such a thing as being guilty of a sin which cannot and will not be forgiven, either And most of us shrink from this doctrine of the Annihilation o! the souls of so msny of our brethren in- cluding the millions of huthens who never had a chance to attain unto life in Christ. because they never heard of Him. And there seems to be very poor support for such s doctrine in scripture, and this belief has never been very popular, nor seemed ration- al to the best scholars of the Bible.

For whoknowshutthatsinmaybeun- ending. Possibly no one believes that a sinner will be punished forever for the sins committed on earth. That would seem to be unjust duration of punishment. But maybe there is such a thing as unending sin. We have no way of telling. We see men so fixed in sin in this life that they never turn from their sinful ways.
