I see.
So St. Isaac the Syrian was blind? Clement of Rome was blind? St. Gregory of Nyssa was blind? All the Christians who lived in the first three centuries and believed in a hope after death were blind?
No truth until you and your Protestantism came along, eh?
Clement [A.D. 30-100] Clement was probably a Gentile and a Roman.
The First Epistle to the Corinthians. Chap XI
He does not forsake those that hope in Him, but gives up such as depart from Him to punished and torture. (Gen_19:1-38; comp. 2Pe_2:6-9) For Lot’s wife, who went forth with him, being of a different mind from himself and not continuing in agreement with him [as to the command which had been given them], was made an example of, so as to be a pillar of salt unto this day. This was done that all might know that those who are of a double mind, and who distrust the power of God, bring down judgment on themselves and become a sign to all succeeding generations.
Chap XIV
Let us be kind one to another after the pattern of the tender mercy and benignity of our Creator. For it is written, “The kind-hearted shall inhabit the land, and the guiltless shall be left upon it, but transgressors shall be destroyed from off the face of it.” (Pro_2:21-22) And again [the Scripture] saith, “I saw the ungodly highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Lebanon: I passed by, and, behold, he was not; and I diligently sought his place, and could not find it.
Clement Chap XXI
The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

Chap LI
For it is better that a man should acknowledge his transgressions than that he should harden his heart, as the hearts of those were hardened who stirred up sedition against Moses the servant of God, and whose condemnation was made manifest [unto all]. For they went down alive into Hades, and death swallowed them up. (Num_16:1-50) Pharaoh with his army and all the princes of Egypt, and the chariots with their riders, were sunk in the depths of the Red Sea, and perished, (Exo_14:1-31) for no other reason than that their foolish hearts were hardened, after so many signs and wonders had been wrought in the land of Egypt by Moses the servant of God.
