God's Hell Not Forever Ross S Marshall

Jesus declared, "My Father is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil" - Luke 6:35. This is but an amplification of the preceding argument. If God loves his enemies, he certainly loves all men; for no one doubts that he loves his friends. Can God cause those to be endlessly miserable whom he loves if love's nature works no ill toward us? God's love is remedial in every way. God is Love and all loving - 1 Jn. 4:8, Rev. 13:10. This is why He can even love His Enemies - Matt. 5:44. Scripture teaches that God loves all people everywhere with an unfailing love - John 3:16. One of the few interpretive passages on the subject of Hell is Revelation 20:13-14. The passage, when properly translated exposes the errors of traditional orthodoxy. Rather than injecting a fear of a vindictive God of "eternal" wrath and "everlasting" Hell, it comforts the listener with a vindicating God, judging human works with restorative measures.
