Clark Pinnock Dies at 73

Clark Pinnock regarded the doctrine of endless punishment as “morally flawed” and a “moral enormity.”  If the “outrageous doctrine” of the traditionalists were true, God would be a “cruel” and “vindictive” deity. In fact, He would be “more nearly like Satan than like God, at least by any ordinary moral standards….”  Indeed, the traditionalist’s God is a “bloodthirsty monster who maintains an everlasting Auschwitz for victims whom he does not even allow to die.”" quoted from here
