“Hell, the doctrine of eternal punishment, misery without end, or as it’s often referred to, “mother is moving in with us,” is not very popular these days.”
― Thor Ramsey, The Most Encouraging Book on Hell Ever

“instant destruction would be fitting every time anyone sinned, if that were how God chose to deal with us. But, thankfully, it ordinarily is not. "His tender mercies are over all His works" (Psalm 145:9).”
― John MacArthur, Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness, and What He Wants to Do with You

“hell and we eliminate something vital to God’s character, namely that our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29), completely holy, infinitely pure and righteous (Hebrews 1:9), a God who will not let the guilty go unpunished (Exodus 34:7). Eliminating hell changes who God is. Removing hell doesn’t make God more loving. It makes him smaller, more like us. Thankfully, the gospel is about the good news that God is holy.”
― Thor Ramsey, The Most Encouraging Book on Hell Ever

“He, the Life of all, our Lord and Savior, did not arrange the manner of his own death lest He should seem to be afraid of some other kind. No. He accepted and bore upon the cross a death inflicted by others, and those others His special enemies, a death which to them was supremely terrible and by no means to be faced; and He did this in order that, by destroying even this death, He might Himself be believed to be the Life, and the power of death be recognized as finally annulled.”
― Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation
