FIFTEEN QUESTIONS FOR SOBER THOUGHT
1 If God will have all men to be saved, and if most men are lost, then how can God be supreme (1 Tim.2:3,4)?
2 If Christ is the Propitiation for the sins of the whole world, did He die in vain for the lost (
1 John 2:2)?
3 If God is going to reconcile the universe through Christ, how can some be tormented forever (Col. 1:20)?
4 How can God, in Christ, gather all things together as one while billions remain eternally estranged (Eph.1:10)?
5 If all die in Adam, and a few are made alive in Christ, how can grace much more abound than sin (Rom. 5:20)?
6 If all men are condemned by Adam’s offense, why are not all justified by the one just award (Rom. 5:18)?
7 If all die in Adam, why shall not all be made alive in Christ (1 Cor. 15:22)?
8 How can every knee bow confessing Christ Lord, to God’s glory, unless reconciled (Phil. 2:10,11)?
9 If Christ only hath immortality, how can any of the dead be alive now (1 Tim. 6:14-16; 1 Cor. 15:53, 54)?
10 If the wicked go to hell as soon as they die, why are they raised and judged later (Rev. 20:11-15)?
11 Since the lake of fire is the second death, what happens to the wicked when death is destroyed (1 Cor.15:26)?
12 If “forever” means “eternity” what does “forever and ever” mean?
13 If God is Love and has all power, will He not find away to save all (1 Tim. 4:9-11)?
14 If Christ is to reign for ever and ever, what does it mean that He will abdicate His throne (Rev. 11:15; 1 Cor. 15:24)?
15 Will God ever actually become All in all (1 Cor.15:28)? -V.E. Jacobson-
Dear Charles:
The Scriptures are not something to prove! They are road marks to bring us to the Source, the Father of all fathers, dearest Abba.
Our Abba is the Saviour of all mankind. That all includes the elect first fruits also expressed as the "especially" of His great love & grace.
Yes Charles, every one of us must give account to Him as we stand in the Fire of His glorious Presence!
and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they did not repent of their works.
