"
"That was the true Light, that lighteth every man that cometh into the
world."
"For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that
the world through Him might be saved."
"And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me."
"Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of
truth."
"Who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time."
"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace
of God should taste death for every man."
"And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but
also for the sins of the whole world."
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain; for the former things are passed away.
Thus we have quoted some of the words of revelation that are manifestly
opposed to the idea of eternal torment.
To be sure, there are Scripture statements that are difficult to explain
on this basis; but their import is generally more or less obscure. On
the other hand, there are statements so favorable to the idea of
Restoration that their meaning can hardly be mistaken. And always
remember this,--that this question is not one for absolute
demonstration.
