traditional Hell is a lie, a libel against God, and a slur upon a simple faith in God's
written Word. Death, perishing, destruction is everywhere taught as the judgment of sin,
and the analysis of Hebrew and Greek terms yielded much information of a positive
character.
The enquiry, however, is not exhausted. Having completely settled the question of
eternal conscious suffering must not too hastily conclude that we have settled the far
wider subject of human destiny. We need to revise our findings and view them in the
light of other Scriptures. May grace be given in the study, and may the Lord be glorified
in the result.
The Wages of Sin.
Concordance Study.
pp. 56-59
Before concluding this series and passing on to further studies dealing with the
destinies of the saved and unsaved, heaven and earth, and the Scriptures pertaining to
these great themes, we feel that a summary of our findings will be of service.
It will be remembered that certain words have been considered with regard to their
primary etymological meaning, their secondary or figurative meaning, and their usage.
We now provide a concordance to the subject, giving as full particulars as is possible in
the limited space. For the arguments, &100:, the reader is referred to the various pages of
the magazine given in the last column.
