What you're doing is simply throwing out the word "progressive revelation" in the hopes that it'll do the heavy lifting for your view, without actually exegeting scripture. You might as well say "Exegesis says I'm right and you're wrong, or Good Hermeneutics says I'm right" But worse, if anything you've shot the entire traditionalist case in the foot, because now the proof texts for eternal conscious torment are only proof texts if correct exegesis is overruled by the assumption that progressive revelation reveals that the fate of the lost is eternal conscious torment. But you haven't shown that eternal conscious torment has been progressively revealed, so this is all just question begging. This is exactly what I think. The traditionalist argument from progressive revelation gets them in all sorts of problems because they assume so much without demonstrating their argument from good exegesis of the text. I have recently written a web article on this that is soon to be published at Rethinking Hell. Edited February 16, 2019 by DarrenJClark Cllarification.
