Strana 426 - ... that passes into the physical sphere is to be rejected, as well as the hope of personal salvation apart from Christ. " (4.) There may be those eternally damned so far as the abuse of freedom continues eternally; but without the possibility of the restoration of freedom man has passed into another class of beings, and, regarded from the standpoint of the idea of man, is a mere ruin. "(5.) Blessedness can only exist where holiness exists. As there is no condemned penitence, so there is no unholy...
Strana 129 - ... is, that the Descent into Hades expresses the universality of Christ's significance, even in respect to former generations and the entire kingdom of the dead. The distinction between earlier and later generations, between the time of ignorance and the time when He is known, is done away by Christ. No physical power is a limit to Him. The future world, like the present, is the scene of His activity. Combining these farthest extremes in His person, He constitutes Himself the centre transcending...
Strana 407 - Jesus seeks the lost; the lost are to be sought also in the kingdom of the dead. The opposite view leads to an absolute decree of rejection for all who have lived and died as heathen, whereas Christian grace is universal...
Strana 127 - But since this conquest takes place, not through physical power and force, but through his entire redeeming work, it could only be ascribed to the descent into hell at the cost of the redemption accomplished by Christ. It is hence to be regarded as the application of the benefit of his atonement, as seems to be intimated by the KfjpvTreiv among the departed.
Strana 425 - ... quickening." Dorner (Christian Doctrine, III., 77) says, " The final judgment can take place for none before the gospel has been so addressed to him that free appropriation of the same was possible." In the same book he says (IV., 416-428), after giving the arguments for and against endless punishment : '• We must be content with saying that the ultimate fate of individuals, namely, whether all will attain the blessed goal or not, remains veiled in mystery.
Strana 129 - ... is neither recorded nor reasonably to be supposed. The ancient Church supposed the preaching on behalf of the departed to be continued through the Apostles. The Apostles knew that with the completion of the atonement deliverance is given from the terrors of Hades and the fear of death ; and the same consciousness found expression again in the strongest way at the Reformation. No power, not even death and Hades, can separate us from fellowship with Christ. But this further implies that Christ's...
Strana 408 - ... that other sins, save the sin against the Holy Ghost, may be forgiven in the next world. How, moreover, can the place alone decide as to moral worth in the capacity of redemption ? When the Epistle to the Hebrews says : It is appointed to man once to die, and after this the judgment (Heb. ix. 27), we must not with the old dogmatists take this to mean that the eternal salvation or woe of every one is decided immediately after death. As to the time of the final judgment after death, the passage...
Strana 408 - The passages which make the pious enter at once a better place exclude a Purgatory as a state of punishment or penance, but by no means exclude a growth in perfection and blessedness. Even the departed righteous are not quite perfect before the resurrection. Their souls must still long for the dominion of Christ and the consummation of God's kingdom. There is, therefore, a status intermedius even for believers, not an instantaneous passage into perfect blessedness.
