I believe that because the doctrine of eternal torment teaches something about the purposes and character of God that is terribly distorted, it is part of the veil the god of this world has used to blind the eyes of men to the true gospel(eu-aggelo, good news). I believe he loves this doctrine and has killed to keep it. The gospel is, in its essence and in its overview, from Alpha to Omega, the revelation of the divine nature of the invisible, almighty Creator. To know Him as He Is- the I AM, the one who so loves the world He gave His only begotten son, is life eternal.
