Excerpt from Discussion on the Important Question, Do the Scriptures Teach the Doctrine of the Final Holiness and Happiness of All Mankind?: A Series of Letters Between Rev. Abel C. Thomas and Rev. Luther Lee
My first proposition is, that God is the Father of the whole human family - (not simply because He created them, for He created the beasts of the field and the stones of the street, which are never denominated His children nor He their father - but) because He created them in his own im age, Gen. I. 26, 27; a little lower than the angels, Psalms viii. 5; and thus constituted Himself the God and Father of all, Eph. Iv. 9; in whose similitude mankind were still cre ated, four thousand years after the transgression in the garden, Jas. Iii. 9.

Excerpt from Discussion on the Important Question, Do the Scriptures Teach the Doctrine of the Final Holiness and Happiness of All Mankind?: A Series of Letters Between Rev. Abel C. Thomas and Rev. Luther Lee
The following pages treat on subjects of vital importance. What is to be the condition of mankind in the eternal world is of great moment to-every son and daughter of Adam. - The world disagrees on this subject. It is maintained by some that oar race will be divided into two classes in eternity; one of which will be holy, happy, and in heaven with tho Creator, and the other sinful, miserable, and in a place of torment with devils. In tho succeeding pages both of these theories are maintained; and tho arguments and proofs that were supposed by the advocate of each to sustain his view of the destiny of mankind, are stated and vindicated with much talent, and generally in a christian spirit.
Reader, as you are deeply interested in the realities of Eternity, peruse attentively and prayerfully this little book. Compare each theory maintained therein with tho Spirit and Word of God, remembering that must be false which clashes with them, and that must be true which accords with those infallable guides. Also weigh carefully and impartially the arguments and proofs for and against each theory, and let reason and the scriptures decide which is and which is not founded in truth.
The Rev. Abel C. Thomas, who is the advocate of universal purity and bliss, is one of the most talented writers and preachers of the Universalist denomination. He Is as well qualified probably as any man to defend his cause. The Rev. Luther Lee, who is the advocate of endless sinning and suffering, possesses evidently great ability, and undoubtedly did the best ho could to sustain his theory.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the discourse surrounding sin and its eternal consequences. The author maintains that the mainstream discourse of endless sinning and suffering is unsupportable in light of the love and nature of God as revealed in the Christian Bible. Through an analysis of the Bible, the author contends that there is a consistent theme of ultimate holiness and happiness for all of God's children. The author draws parallels between the paternal love of God and the love of an earthly father, arguing that just as a good father would not condemn his child to eternal suffering, neither would God. In addition to an exegesis of the Bible, the author provides a philosophical and theological framework for understanding the problem of evil and suffering in light of God's love and ultimate plan for humanity.
