| THE CONCEPT OF ETERNAL PUNISHMENT |
IF ETERNAL PUNISHMENT IS TRUE THEN GOD’S TRUE NATURE IS
MALIGNED.
Scriptures dictate that God is love, not only that he loves but He is the
essence and definition of LOVE.
How do you define love? (1 Cor. 13)
Paul says love suffers long and is kind. Love is not provoked or thinks
evil. Love does not rejoice in iniquity. Love bears all things, believes all
things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER FAILS.
God is LOVE. 1 John 4:8,16. A love which seeks the best for others
and never ceases until this objective is accomplished.
God suffers long and is kind. God is not provoked or thinks evil. God
does not rejoice in iniquity. God bears all things, believes all things, and
endures all things. GOD NEVER FAILS.
This does not take away from His holiness and justice—but exemplifies
it.
Is God’s punishment unending? If it is unending—to what purpose does
it serve? Punishment without purpose is torture. God does not torture
His creation.

WHICH IS MORE POWERFUL?
THE FALL OF ADAM
OR
THE REDEMPTION OF CHRIST
Did the offense of the first Adam yielding condemnation and death
for all men accomplish more that the Last Adam’s free gift of
grace for all men? (Rom 5:15)
Did sin abound much more than grace?
These are thoughts that must be resolved if eternal punishment in
hell is true.
Is it true that God’s love will fail for most of mankind?
Does God’s forgiveness have an expiration date?
The Bible speaks of a much more glorious God than we have
been taught. Paul understood the redemptive work in God’s
judgments. He knew the heart of God and he knew God’s will and
purpose. His knowledge of God’s character and purpose governed
his understanding of scripture. He did not tell his listeners of a
place where men will be thrown, instead, he spoke of a God who
not only loved all men but actually proved it by over coming and
abolishing death. He said that Christ would pass His authority to
God and God the Creator of all men would become All in all. (1
Cor. 15)
The wages of sin have always been death and not eternal
punishment, or everlasting destruction in a literal burning lake of
fire for ever and ever.
DOES BELIEVING MAKE A PERSON BORN AGAIN OR DOES
BEING BORN AGAIN MAKE YOU A BELIEVER?
DOES THE GOSPEL MAKE A PERSON RIGHTEOUS OR DOES
IT SIMPLY REVEAL A CONDITION THAT ALREADY EXISTS?
Does God have enough LOVE but lacks the POWER over man’s
will or Does God have enough POWER but not enough LOVE to
save all men?
