OUR FATHER, HELL AND HEAVEN : M. M. NINAN<br />

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br />

so that in Jesus's name every knee shall bend.<br />

Is this subjection of Christ not completed?<br />

Not at all.<br />

Because the subjection of Christ consists not in few, but in all.<br />

Christ will be subject to God in us by means of the obedience of all;<br />

when vices having been cast away, and sin reduced to submission,<br />

one spirit of all people, in one sentiment, shall with one accord begin to cleave to God,<br />

then God will be all in all,<br />

when all then shall have believed and done the will of God,<br />

Christ will be all and in all;<br />

and when Christ shall be all in all, God will be all in all.<br />

5 At present he is over all by his power,<br />

but it is necessary that he be in all by their free will:<br />

6 So the Son of man came to save that which was lost,<br />

that is, all,<br />

for, 'As in Adam all died, so, too, in Christ shall all be made alive.'<br />

"7 "For, if the guilty die, who have been unwilling to leave the path of sin,<br />

even against their will they still gain,<br />

not of nature but of fault, that they may sin no more."<br />

"Death is not bitter;<br />

but to the sinner it is bitter,<br />

and yet life is more bitter,<br />

for it is a deadlier thing to live in sin than to die in sin,<br />

because the sinner as long as he lives increases in sin,<br />

but if he dies he ceases to sin."<br />

Titus of Bostra.<br />

died c.378<br />

Titus of Bostra was a Christian theologian and bishop. Sozomen names Titus among the great men of the time<br />

of Constantius<br />

"Thus the mystery was completed by the Savior in order that, perfection being completed<br />

through all things, and in all things,<br />

by Christ,<br />

all universally shall be made one<br />

through Christ and in Christ."<br />

"The very abyss of torment is indeed the place of chastisement,<br />

but it is not eternal (aionion)<br />
