the sinner was free to chose good or evil - that he will not punish for ever any one who desires to repent,
and to turn from sin. If any one says "it is certain that the Bible teaches that, when once a man is in Hell,
no matter how much he repents, there he will stay for ever," I reply "if I were certain the Bible taught that,
I would give up the Bible.
