On The Scripture Doctrine Of Future Punishment: An Argument (1850) by Henry Hamlet Dobney is a theological work that discusses the concept of eternal punishment as described in the Bible. The author argues that the traditional view of eternal punishment, which involves the eternal torment of sinners in hell, is not supported by scripture. Instead, Dobney presents an alternative view that suggests that the punishment for sin is destruction or annihilation, rather than eternal torment. The book is divided into six chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the topic. The first chapter provides an overview of the traditional view of eternal punishment and the arguments that have been used to support it. The second chapter examines the biblical passages that are often cited in support of eternal punishment, and argues that they can be interpreted in different ways. In the third chapter, Dobney presents his alternative view of punishment, which he argues is more consistent with the teachings of the Bible. He suggests that the punishment for sin is destruction or annihilation, rather than eternal torment. The fourth chapter explores the implications of this view for the doctrine of immortality, while the fifth chapter discusses the implications for the doctrine of atonement. The final chapter of the book provides a summary of the arguments presented and offers some concluding thoughts. Overall, On The Scripture Doctrine Of Future Punishment: An Argument is a thought-provoking work that challenges traditional views of eternal punishment and offers an alternative perspective based on a careful reading of the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
