A bit long, but nonetheless funny.

âEternal Damnation: One Hell of a Lie!â
Nice one Kav
That made me think of:
âEternal? Hell No!â
Back when I was first putting together my thoughts on universalism (per se), I wrote (and in a way published) a book I called The Infernal Grace.
Not very humorous, perhaps. But certainly provocative.
And is it still possible to (in a way) read it?
It was published on Themestream (the title of which was cutely formatted to look like a double-meaning of âThe Me Streamâ). But that business went out of business many years ago, so it isnât publicly available anymore.
I donât consider it anywhere near my best work. Stylistically, itâs a near total mess. I would want to revise it heavily before it sees public light of day again.
But most of the book was an imaginary dialogue between a non-universalist and a universalist Christian, which kicks off by means of considering the question: if we are strictly warned that we shall not be forgiven our sins unless we forgive those who sin against us, then what about forgiving Satan? I wrote it not long after finishing the first draft of my systematic progressing metaphysic (the third main draft of which is going through our forum right now as the Bite-Sized Metaphysics series), which was when I realized I ought to formally be a universalist.
(Well, about half the book was this dialogue plus an introductory chapter to set up the dialogue; the other half was a more in-depth commentary on each of the chapters to explain the debated ideas more directly, plus explaining why I had the two characters doing various things at different times. The whole thing runs about 49Kwords.)
Jason,
Speaking of dialogues; how far have you made it through Elhanan Winchesterâs Dialogues on the Universal Restoration?
Heck, I havenât even really started reading that Jeremiah White book I restored last year yet!!
