ABSTACT OF SERMONS.
Internal PanUliment and the Nature of
Eternal Punishment Preached by KeV.
F. W. K. Peschan, Pastor of St. Paul's
Evangelical Lutheran Church, Sunday,
April 16; 1888.
Ilev. P. W. EL Peschau" has been
asked to publish the two discourses
he preached on last Sunday "on the
subject previously announced. It
affords ti9 pleasure to publish 1 the
following outlines thereof. It is, of
course, impossible to do the" ser
mons lust ice bv erivinjr so snort a
sketch thereof.
The textof the morning sermon
was Matth, xxv, 46, "And these
shall go away into everlasting pun
ishment."
These are the words of the son of
God. You, as Christian people,
I, as a Christian pastor, must either
receive and believe them, or re
ject them. It is a remarkable
fact that the New Testament
which brings us the gladdest
news of God's mercy in Christ, also
brings us the. clearest, strongest,
and most numerous lessons on eter
nal punishment. And, not only this,
but these lessons come not from the
anostles but from Christ Himself,
as if Divinity in its wisdom was un
willing to have even the grandest

and best human agencies to jan
nounce or set forth this important
doctrine. After first considering some
erroneous opinions, objection?, etc.
he following points which are some
of the leadiner ones from the manv
We will
not discuss punishment but its be
ing everlasting. As Christians we
believe the words of the text.
1. Because we even believe that
matter is eternal. Matter may
change its form bat is indestruct
ible. If matter has this character
istic, surely God would not make
the soul, which in every way is
superior to matter, lack the essen
tial property of ever existing.
Our Saviour in speaking of Judas
says, "good were it for that man if
he had never been born." Surely
this means that this was because
the punishment to come upon him
was eternal and that he could not
photo-1 escape from it and therefore not to
be born at an, was preieraoie 10
the punishment of the guilty, be-
cause it is eternal.
2. Because, it is following out
the law and order of things in this
world. The word of God is the
basis of human law, there are pun
ishments for life here. Those full
off from their
fellow men for life.- We place men
in penitentiaries f "r all the days of
their life for violating human law,
the Divine la v therefore which deals
with eternal things must attach
eternal punishment.
God would be dealing unjustly to
ward those who do sincerely try to
lovo and serve Him. If punishment
hereafter is limited, why have pun
ishment at all on earth? Why not
do away with law and order? Then
the murderer woniu oe tne best
man and the drunkard the wisest
man and the licentious the happiest
man. If we can think ourselves
into eternity at all, we can reason
from analogy that its laws applied
will be eternal.
3. History is full of references to
it. Even infidels have spoken ot
this doctrine, in their histories, and
iu their articles on retribution have
recognized it.
4. The Church in all ages lias ac
cented these words just as our Lord

from the days of Barnabas, the coin-

Church formed her creeds.
II. It is recognized and taught in

olam is used 70 times in the Old Tes
tament," 20 times it refers to God.
In some instances it refers to where
duration is limited, but -this is be
cause human language is imperfect.
Human language is not as perfect as
human thought, and therefore this
is easily understood. The term in
the New -Testament aioon' occurs
10S times, and always means eternal.
Even the Greek classical authors
use it in their writings' in this sense
Its very component parts " give lis
the right meaning, as al means ever,
and oon means existing, together
ever-existing. " I
it is laugnt oy, contrast, in so
very many places we find the same
word referring to life also, as in our
text, "These shall go away into ever
lasting punishment, but the right
eous into life etcrjial." Eternal life
and eternal death are thus; often
mentioned in contrast in tne same
passage. If life, blessedness and re
ward are eternalj -then, also must
suffering and puni$hmentbe eternal.
7. OurSaviourtabghtit in so many
or His paraoies. f ine tooiisn vir
gins, the servants punished, Lazarus
and Dives, --all bring it before onr
minds in strong : twords. Abraham
plainly tells Dives; that there, is
great gulf fixed. This teaches the
impossibility to j escape. So too
Dives prayed Abraham to send
Lazarus to - bis brethren,. He did
not ask Abraham to send" him as he
knew there was no release for him:
8. Would God allow His Son to
suffer the shame, agony aud death
upon tne tjross, it it would not save
men from everlasting punishment?
Surely there can be but one answer
to this, if trod were too merciful
to punish a creature for gross and
shameful '. crimes. I He would be all
too merciful to .allow the iJonJ of His
love to suffer so, i His mercy would
begin jn the Divine household.
The Bible plainly; teaches: ''For
God so loved the! world, that He
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever beheveth in Him -'might
not perish, but have everlasting
life," This perish certainly does
not mean to save from death, for
all men die, it means it can mean
only, perish foreverj From this may
God deliver us. uxd has given us
all that is necessary to win us for
Heaven and may we reach it and
have eternal life.
10. Everlasting punishment is also
taught by the fact I that it was pre
pared for the devil and his angels
Had it been better and wisest, God
would have destroyed the .devil and
his angels. The fact that He did
not proves that He cannot from the
very, nature of things destroy spirits
If He banished the devil and his
angels into everlasting suffering,
for whom Uhnst did not die, how
mueh more will He: not punish" those
who have been thus honored and
helped by God. I
Lastly. The sin against the Holy
Ghost is never forgiven and if never
forgiven, the. punishment for sin
never ceases.
