"Seems to me that if God is going to compel anyone after death to force them to be tormented in hell, why doesn't God use the compulsion of sanctification, and say 'Ok pal, you didn't let me do this before, but now I'm going to clean you up'…if God is going to compel anything after death, why not compel sanctification?"
"I feel that the time has come when I must declare my mind honestly. I believe that endless torment is a hideous and unscriptural doctrine which has been a terrible burden on the mind of the church for many centuries and a terrible blot on her presentation of the gospel. I should indeed be happy if, before I die, I could help in sweeping it away. Most of all I should rejoice to see a number of theologians ... joining ... in researching this great topic with all its ramifications." - John Wenham
