St. Gregory of Nyssa believed that eventually even those sent to hell would be saved

I wanted to post a collection of him and some others sometimes lumped up as origenists, as a hypothesis that what they really taught was not that, but purgatory: the eventual salvation of many, but not all, who now suffer for their sins. Maybe one slow day I will. I was reading Origen not long ago looking for the notion that Hell will be completely empty and did not find it.

Maybe it was in all those documents that were destroyed when he was condemned 300 or so years after his death. :-)
