Thus, they concluded that all people must be destined for salvation. Some early Universalists, known as Restorationists and led by Paul Dean, believed there was a period of reprobation in Hell following death that preceded salvation.[1] Other Universalists, notably Hosea Ballou, denied the existence of Hell entirely." (from Wikipedia.)<br /><br />The Catholic Church's claim that god and hell coexist was the origin of my first profound and irreversible religious rejection. Transubstantiation, virgin birth, Adam, Eve and their apple were not worth more attention than Santa Claus.lucettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030477404014229609noreply@blogger.com
