MR.. WEBSTER, TO MIR. NYE

LETTER V. ...
DEAR SIR.-That Luke l3, "a 80, canno
refer to an earthly kingdom is evident |
Because no true suppliant is ever turned
away therefrom. 2. From the plea eve
have eaten and drunk in thy presence
and thou hast taught in our Streets" 8
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the proph.
cts were then in citizenship, and had long
since exchanged the earthly for the heav-
emily kingdom. 4. The expression, "aden
ye shall See," indicates that the event
was prospective. My authority for using
the expression "thrust away" instead o.
"thrust out :" is, 1. That eco is fire.,
quently rendered away, as in Mat: l3.
28, "Gathered the good into vessels
and cast the bad away" evidently referring
to the same even. $50 shall it be
the end of the world the angels shall come
forth, and sever the wicked from among
the just, and shall cast them into fur
mace of fire i: there shall be wailing and
gnashing Of teeth" @ The metaphor
employed, house, the doors being shut.
and the applicants being without. knock
ing of course could not be "thrust out"
but thrust away.
Mark 49, l6, was not introduced as
you insinuate, to prove eternal damna-
ton; but simply to negative your prop
osition. Do you not allow, that accord
ing to the text he that believeth in this
world, shall be saved in the next, and he
that beleyeth not in this world shall be
damned in the next fyou do,you con-
cede all | ask, for the present
In regard to the case of Judas; you
say. 'If the expression, better never have
been born, is proverbial, it is not literal. "
But !. Expressions may be proverbial
and yet strictly literal. 2. They become
proverbial, because strictly and partinently
true. 3. 10 suppose that Christ would
iterate proverb not strictly true, would
Implicate his character as an instructor.
4. The hopelessness of Judas case is
evident from the saying of Christ; "Those
hat thou hast given me l have kept, and
none of them is lost but the son of per-
litlon." Here Christ calls Judas the
son Of perdition," and acknowledged he
was 'lost." Not that he had fallen into
condemnation simply, for Peter had done
his but Judas alone was lost. ..g
Your charge upon me of SANDER
ng God" is only sustained by good uni
'ersalist authority. the truth of which
IMPLIES the falsity Of Christ.
In reply to your quibble-I can call it
othing else as to the literal construc-
ion of Mat IL 81, 80, remark |. A |
eparture from literal construction I
merely will not answer your system q
or, while it says, the blasphemy against
be Hely Ghost shall certainly be forgi"- S
n unto men the text declare most pos t
lively it shall not be forgiven, neither in
his world neither in the world to come" s
If the sin against the Holy Ghost is par. '
enable in common with other offences; d
hy is it made an exception in this text Il
Your criticism If it be worthy of the l
ame-on the phrase in danger of; is q S
gnal failure. The term enoros signifies b
tposed to, liable to, bound, and is rem. 4
cred "subject to" and guilty Of !" See St
eb : q Is, and Matt. 26. 6j, and hence Il
light be rendered in the text, guilty of. fl
inject to, and bound to eternal damna- p
on. D
I am aware you deny that aionas d
means endless misery" s
is not however for you to de- B
y my proposition now +; but to prove
our own, by showing how he that hath y,
,ver forgiveness, and is consequently W
,und to eternal damnaton, can be ulti- Y,
