NOT UNIVERSALISTS
Dr. Strong's articles on the person
and work of Christ were a noteworthy contribution to the Journal and
to us its readers. It is therefore with
sorrow that I see in the final article
a section that falls below the level
of what preceded.
In the issue of Nov. 30, Dr. Strong
tries to connect belief in a millenium with theories of a "second
chance" and universal salvation.
Such an insinuation is contrary to the facts.
Dr. William Young, an exclusive psalm singer, Rev. E. W. Johnson, a sovereign-grace Baptist, are, and my father was, post-millenarian. None of them had any sympathy with the so-called second chance or universal salvation. I could also name several pre-millenarians who equally repudiate these doctrines. Even the heretical dispensationalists do not accept universalism. Then there are St. Augustine and B. B. Warfield.
As for the millenium itself, it
amazes me that a serious reader of
the Bible can so categorically deny it!
