Saying / Proverb★★★
If men’s disaffection and disobedience to God, spring entirely from ignorance or error in the understanding, it is difficult to see how they can be criminal for their disaffection and disobedience. This first principle of Arminianism leads to Universalism ; for the light of the last day will remove all ignorance and error from the universe, and according to this theory, all sin. This Priestley and others of his denomination expressly acknowledge and maintain.
Also attributed to: Emmons
The point
Arminian theology, taken to its logical end, implies universal salvation once ignorance is removed.
