Thomas Williams, The Great Salvation — Proposition 21
“ The Wicked Will Not Be Preserved Alive Eternally in Torture, But Will Be DestroyedJob 20:5-8 The triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment. He shall perish for ever like his own dung ”
Thomas Williams, The Great Salvation — Proposition 21
“ From force of education you will now possibly wonder, in view of the foregoing, what is the meaning of 'hell in the Bible. For if the wicked are to be destroyed, such a place as have been taught to believe to be will not be needed. If the wicked are not to be preserved alive the popular hell will be of no use. ”
Thomas Williams, The Great Salvation — Proposition 21
“ Those who cling to the terrible theory that God will preserve the wicked eternally in torment try to evade these plain statements of Scripture by saying that the meaning is not literal destruction; but that the word destroy must be understood in the sense we speak of a man who has become a reprobate--his character is destroyed, he is ruined. ”
