Let us add that none of the scriptures listed will
mean a thing to those who are not willing to concede to the truth, regardless of
what it is. Granted, some of these verses may seem not to be in total
context of the subject matter, but looking at the whole picture they will in
fact support the thought very well. In order to get a complete and balanced
overview of God's great plan, which is the SALVATION OF
ALL, we suggest searching out all the scriptures (preferably in
the Hebrew & Greek) concerning the wicked being judged, condemned
forever, everlasting punishment, destroyed, etc. No doubt,
there will seem to be conflicting verses, and it may involve many soul searching
hours, but continue on with a genuine desire to know the truth, and with
dedication and prayer until the Spirit of Christ settles it firmly in your
spirit with immutable clarity.
We rejoice In the light of the above scriptures,
however, never forsake the truth of God's judgments upon man's rebellion, for
men must stand accountable for their thoughts, words, and deeds. But it is clear
that God's judgments and
man's torment are not
forever, but
age-lasting, as it is in the ancient texts.
There is an end to both, else His pleasures would be frustrated
and never be seen throughout all eternity. Let every soul know that God has
always had a wonderful plan for every soul. Moreover, no one
and no thing can frustrate it, and He will fulfill it according to His good
pleasure.
Now, the challenge for those who do not embrace
the truth of this matter; but they say if it is in the Bible, they believe and
teach it. The above are 103 clear verses contained in the Bible. What about it?
Do you believe it? If so -- will you declare it, and with joy share it to any
and all, regardless of the reproach? To bring this forth will cost something;
but that is often the price for truth. The Valley of Decision is a hard
place; but don't abide there long, break the ties of dogma which have for ages
flowed down the concrete channels of tradition lest you reason your way back to
the well-beaten path, which sees God in man's image of being eternally feeble
and uncaring for that which came from Him.
