Seventh Day Adventist booklet concerning hell. People are not tormented forever but burned up (= annihilated?) in hell. We do not have immortal souls.<\/p>\n
Version in sermon:<\/p>\n
Booklets thrown on my lawn. “Are You Breaking the Law?” with a picture of a cop. I looked around nervously. Upon examination, they turned out to be religious tracts. Episcopalians are at it again.<\/p>\n
Actually, I figured it to be work of Seventh Day Adventists. They do not believe in immortality of soul, but only in resurrection at end of time.<\/p>\n
They quote second century church leader Justin Martyr as saying:<\/p>\n
“If you have fallen in with some who are called Christians, who say
\n that there is no resurrection of the dead, and that their souls,
\n when they die, are taken to heaven; do not imagine that they are
\n Christians.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
