On Hebrews
2:2-4 – “Foolish men have always had tumultuating thoughts about the judgments
of God. Some have disputed with him about
the equity and equality of his ways in judgment temporal, Ezekiel 18, and some
about those that shall be eternal. Hence was the vain imagination of them of
old who dreamed that an end should be put, after some season unto the
punishment of devils and wicked men; so turning hell into a kind of purgatory.
Others have disputed, in our days, that there shall be no hell at all, but a
mere annihilation of ungodly men at the last day. These things being so
expressly contrary to the Scripture, can have no other rise but the corrupt
minds and affections of men, not conceiving the reasons of God's judgments, nor
acquiescing in his sovereignty” – John Owen, Epistle to the Hebrews, volume 3, 237-238.
