Hello All,
I was reading up on the concept of Cosmic Treason and eternal punishment. It stems from the claims from non-believers stating that God is unjust for punishing sin eternally when the sins were in a finite amount of time. I am looking for scriptural support on the following statements by R.C. Sproul below. I realize they minimize the seriousness of their sin but am looking for additional scriptural support to backup my claims.
I was reading an article by R.C. Sproul titled 'How Can an Infinite Hell Be Just When Our Sins Are Finite?" When R.C. says, "Hell lacks the common grace of God, the restraining grace of God. It is true that even the sinners below confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, but they do so with clenched teeth, seething with rage. It is true that their knees are bowed, but only because our Lord has broken them with a rod of iron. They hate God and curse Him for eternity."
I am looking up scriptural support to back up the claims made in this paragraph, or if you have better verses and/or articles please pass them along.
God bless,
Rob
