Over the past six years or so I was relieved to discover two other alternatives that are also part of the Christian tradition, though less prominent--universalism and the subject of the present book, conditional immortality. Universalism--that everyone would eventually be saved--did not, in the final analysis, seem to really come to grips with the overwhelming scriptural testimony that some kind of radical fateful decision is possible to people. Conditional immortality--that people who absolutely refuse God's plan for them will be taken out of existence--seems to me the best scriptural understanding of what the Lord meant by \"losing one's soul\"--not everlasting punishment but the withdrawal of existence. This book is an attempt to explain this theological theory. It is not presented as a definite dogma or teaching of the church, but as one of the possible results of a persistent and irrevocable decision against God.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68072520778016,"sku":"NEW1498297277","price":43.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/715I_D0l1wL.jpg?v=1793426992","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-catholic-reading-guide-to-conditional-immortality-the-third-alternative-to-hell-and-universalism-1498297277","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
