In my readings, I have recently come across the idea of Universal Salvation, that is, the view held that everything in creation will eventually be saved, including those souls in Hell, the demons, even Satan himself! Origen was anamathetized (sp?) because of this view, (as well as the view of the pre-existense of souls). However, St. Gregory of Nyssa held this believe and he is regarded as a saint.
This view is obviously against the dominant Western view of eternal damnation in Hell; however, it seems to make more sense to me, believing in an All-merciful, All-powerful God.
