UNIVERSAL eternal salvation is contrary to the teachings of the Bible, as abundantly proved by many texts. We cite one that is conclusive: In Matt. 26:24 our Lord declares of his betrayer, "It had been good for that man if he had not been born." Now if Judas Iscariot were to suffer untold and incomprehensible torment for millions of ages, yet if he were to be saved therefrom, and bliss bestowed532upon him, it would be good for him that he had been born. The first moment that he would enter upon that state of never-ending bliss would compensate for all the miseries of the past; for he would know that that moment was but the beginning of a happiness that would never end. However great the misery endured or the torment suffered, it is good for that individual to live who is sometime—however far distant—to be given eternal life and immortal glory. Judas is no exception, and it follows, therefore, that absolutely universal salvation is not true.
