Description:The Christian Doctrine of HellI WOULD not willingly quit this world without having said my say upon the most terrible of all its superstitions, the doctrine of eternal torments--which Archdeacon Farrar describes as the “hideous incubus of atrocious conceptions”--and which, in my own experience, is the cause of appalling apprehensions and even insanity in the minds of the sensitive and weak-minded.If there is a hell, that is the most important fact in the universe. Compared with an eternity of torment, all that this little life has to offer is but as nothing. If there is no hell, then, it seems to me, the faith in Jesus is vain, for no such salvation as that offered by orthodox Christianity is necessary. Not only is the doctrine of eternal torments clearly taught in Scripture, but it is, as I shall show, historically bound up with the creed of Christendom.It may be said, why attack a superstition confessedly falling into decay? Satan, that once excellent scapegoat for all misdeeds, is superannuated. Hell is never mentioned to ears polite. Since Freethought came into the world its temperature has considerably decreased. The brimstone business threatens to become obsolete. It is none the less the corner-stone of the whole system, and when it finally collapses it will bring down other doctrines with it. The Salvationist, no less than the Jesuit, knows its power. As the old beadle said, “A kirk without a hell is’na worth a damn.” CONTINUED...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
