ENThe doctrine of eternal punishment: Matt. 25:46. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. [The doctrine of eternal punishment must be separated from the notion of a Divine vindictiveness. God has no pleasure in any man's death; He wills that every man be saved. God loves all; Christ died for all; truth and the Holy Spirit are for all; there is plenary ability and gracious opportunity for all. There is a book of life; but, it has well been added, there is no book of death. When a soul is saved, all heaven is glad and God records the name; but when a soul is lost, God has no heart to write the name in a book kept for that purpose. We do read of names blotted out of the book of life—a thing which implies record; but we read of no erasure in the book of death, because there is no such book. God has but one book, the book of life; and when any name is blotted out, it is because the grace that saves has been willfully and wickedly rejected. God wants no victim of His wrath; God is not vindictive. The doctrine must also be separated from the notion of external infliction. When the Scriptures speak of a prison of outer darkness and a bottomless pit, we are not to materialize these phrases as if they were definite places fitted up with all the means of inflicting penalties: the soul holds all these. Heaven and hell, the glory and the shame, are in us; the soul is its own and its only chamber of torture. God saves all whom He can save from sin, and redeems to holiness only such as hunger and thirst after righteousness: He can save only those who want to be saved. The eternal ruin of a soul, therefore, is something for which He is in no way responsible—except so far as He is responsible for making us free and responsible agents; or, to quote from Dean Alford, "All man's salvation is of God, and all his condemnation from himself." God leaves nothing undone that can be done to save every man, and only deliberate and persistent wickedness can doom a soul to eternal death. There is but one witness whose words I cannot deal with as rhetorical and exaggerated: this is the testimony of Jesus Christ, which checks and curbs my speculation—and He checks me because His love is so intense. My love for men cannot be compared to His; my dread of their possible ruin is as a point in an indefinite line, as a single drop in all the seas, when measured against His. It is the authority of infinite and self-sacrificing love which makes His word final to me; and He tells me that there is an outer darkness from which the soul never returns, a second death from which there is no resurrection. The utmost that God and Christ can do is done to prevent it. Behrends.]

中永刑的教义：马太福音 25:46 —— 这些人要往永刑里去；那些义人要往永生里去。〔永刑的教义必须与『神有报复心』这一观念分别开来。神并不喜悦任何人死亡；他愿意人人得救。神爱一切人；基督为一切人死；真理与圣灵是为一切人预备的；一切人都有充分的能力与蒙恩的机会。有一本生命册；但有人说得好：并没有一本死亡册。一个灵魂得救时，全天庭都欢喜，神也记下他的名字；但一个灵魂沉沦时，神并没有心肠把那名字写进一本专为此用而备的册子里。我们确实读到有名字从生命册上被涂抹——这本身就说明曾有记录；但我们从未读到死亡册上有任何涂改，因为根本没有那样一本册子。神只有一本册子，就是生命册；若有名字被涂抹，那是因为拯救人的恩典被人有意而恶意地拒绝了。神不要任何人作他忿怒的祭品；神没有报复心。这教义还必须与『外加的刑罚』这一观念分别开来。当圣经说到外面黑暗的监牢、说到无底坑时，我们不可把这些说法实体化，仿佛它们是某些具体的处所、配备着施刑的各样器具：这一切，灵魂自身就都有了。天堂与地狱、荣耀与羞耻，都在我们里面；灵魂本身就是它自己的、也是它唯一的刑室。凡神能从罪中拯救的人，他都拯救；而他救赎归入圣洁的，只是那些饥渴慕义的人：他只能拯救那些愿意得救的人。因此，一个灵魂永远的毁灭，绝不是他要负责的事——除非说，他因造我们为自由而负责任的行动者，在这个意义上才『负责』；或者引用院长阿尔福德（Dean Alford）的话：『人一切的得救都是出于神，而他一切的被定罪都是出于他自己。』凡能做的、可以救每一个人的事，神没有一样不做；惟有蓄意而顽固的邪恶，才能把一个灵魂判入永死。只有一位见证者的话，我无法当作修辞夸张来处理：那就是耶稣基督的见证——它约束、勒住我的臆测；而他之所以能约束我，正因为他的爱如此炽烈。我对人的爱无法与他的相比；我对他们可能沉沦的惧怕，与他的相比，不过是一条无限长线上的一个点，不过是万顷海水中的一滴。正是那无限而舍己之爱的权威，使他的话对我而言是终局性的；而他告诉我：有一种外面的黑暗，灵魂一旦进去就永不返回；有一种第二次的死，其中没有复活。为拦阻这事，神与基督所能做的一切，都已经做了。贝伦兹（Behrends）〕
