Eternal Christianity
Author: C. H. Spurgeon, John Calvin, Jim Cronfel

Jim Cronfel believes "conversion comes from the awareness of eternal conscious torment," that "[Christianity] is about fleeing hell and sin." It is Rev. Dr. John R.W. Stott's belief that even the consideration of a literal, eternal hell is "intolerable." He considers "the fire and brimstone school of theology" not to be "biblical Christi... more »anity." Yet, Dr. Stott is one of Time magazine's "100 most influential people in the world." Rev. Billy Graham says that he is "the most respected clergyman in the world today." (Dr. Stott is 87 years old and currently on his sickbed in the hospital.) Jim Cronfel lost membership at Armitage Baptist Church in Chicago, for writing about Stott. But, his worthy goal is to boldly exalt the name of Jesus Christ and proclaim what He eternally accomplished for us on Calvary, not tear down an honored gentlemen for gainsay. He urges Stott and his readers to carefully examine the Scriptures to determine what they believe, not only about hell; but, also that the eternal fear of God must precede an authentic conversion. In his "Systematic Annihilationism" Cronfel finds it troubling that Stott's annihilationism pervades his bestsellers "Basic Christianity" and "The Cross of Christ." He quotes them and those of several other opposing authors. Cronfel aims to show how one heresy leads to a series of others up to denying God himself. For support, he includes Spurgeon's "Lama Sabachthani," a sermon about Christ's eternal cry from the Cross; and, Calvin's tract "Psychopannychia," which means "the imaginary sleep of the soul." Cronfel points out when Stott wrote in "Essentials" that there would be "a serious disproportion between sins consciously committed in time and torment consciously experienced throughout eternity," he rejected original sin. And, that then there would also consequently be a serious disproportion between "good deeds" consciously committed in time and "grace" consciously experienced throughout eternity. Stott insists that "that God punished Jesus for our sins" is "the other formulation." But for evangelical Christians, Christ's substitutionary punishment is the central tenant of their faith. Stott denied forgiveness, "Nor, as we have seen, has Christ by his sacrifice prevailed upon God to pardon us," and, God "is not declaring bad people to be good or saying that they are not sinners after all." Finally, Stott committed total apostasy by writing that his Jesus "was not God." Stott's quotes prove that he still needs to repent in view of the true hell.
