CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: Terms and Usages: Final Disposition of the Wicked

The fate of the wicked—the unrepentant irreconcilables—is one of the most solemn and tragic aspects in the entire area embracing the nature and destiny of fallen man. It is sobering and disturbing to contemplate. Nevertheless, the justice and integrity of God, as well as His love and mercy (not to mention the lot of the hardened sinner), are inextricably bound up therewith. CFF1 486.1

We now address ourselves to this crucial question. In the all-wise punitive acts of God, manifest in the final disposition of confirmed sinners, we find His majestic equity and infinite rectitude and righteousness towering above the dreadful misconceptions and fabrications devised by the imaginations of men—travesties that have marred the centuries, first under pagan, then Catholic, and finally under Protestant hands.
