¶ Al men shall not be saued at the length.
The Error of Universal Salvation
Those who teach that all people will eventually be saved after punishment are condemned.
They also deserve condemnation for trying to revive the dangerous opinion that everyone—no matter how ungodly—will eventually be saved after suffering for their sins for a time appointed by God's justice.12
Read the original English
THey also are worthy of condēnation, who endeuout at thys tyme to restore the daūgerous opinion, that al men, be theineues so vngodly, shal at length be saued, whē they haue suffered paynes for theyr synnes, a certayne tyme appoynted b… Gods iustice.
Notes
John Ponet's Short Catechisme (1553) companion
Rule yourself daily, not just on retreat
Chosen Portion turns the mirror into a daily practice — a short reading and examining question each morning before you lead anyone.
Chosen Portion makes the mirror daily: the ruler-formation questions this collection preserves become a two-minute morning examination in the app.
- A daily formation reading drawn from centuries of counsel to those in authority
- One pointed examination question a day — two minutes, before the meetings start
- Track your practice over weeks and watch the examined life become a habit
