The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism
Which states:
Heb.10:28 A man that hath set at nought Moses' law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: 29 of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Generally capital punishment under Moses' law was by stoning. Stoning to death is not a very sore or long lasting punishment. People suffered far worse deaths via the torture methods of the eternal hell believing Medieval Inquisitionists and the German Nazis under Hitler.
Therefore, if the writer of Hebrews believed that wicked, rebellious, Christ rejecters would be punished with something so monstrous as being endlessly annihilated or tormented, he would not have chosen to compare their punishment to something so lame as being stoned to death. Clearly he did not believe Love Omnipotent is an unfeeling terminator machine or sadist who abandons forever the beings He created in His own image & likeness so easily.
Goodness this was easy to answer. I do not believe in Eternal Burning Hell. This is a false teaching from the Roman Cathololic Church handed down to apostate protestantism. After speaking to some of your friends here however I do not think the teachings of Universalism is much better when people are thrown into the lake of fire and tortured until they repent. Both of these teachings are doctrines of devils if my view and neither are biblical.
Hope this helps.
