Universalism

Parable or Literal by Ivan Burgener

Questions Without Answers A list of 213 questions that will help to clarify God's plan of salvation as set forth in the Holy Bible, so that when questions are asked, correct answers can be given. To those holding a limited view of God's plan of salvation, they are truly Questions Without Answers, but, to those who rely on God's Word, the answers become apparent as His truth is revealed to them. The questions were written by A. C. Thomas and appeared in a book written by E. H. Lake in 1855, entitled "The Key to Truth".

Questions about Salvation

1. Doesn't Revelation 3:20 teach that we have to ask Jesus into our heart for salvation?

2. Romans 10:1,9,13

3. Does not active sin, or future sins cause us to lose salvation?

4. What is the doctrine of Substitution?

Questions about Hell

1. If the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever and they have no rest day nor night, doesnt this indicate eternal suffering?

2. Didn't Paul teach that some will have the proper "sorrow" leading to salvation, while others will have the "sorrow of the world" that "worketh death"?

3. In Galatians 5:21 Paul gave a list of sins and said, they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Aren't such people unsaved forever?

4. Aren't those whose names are not in the book of life cast into the lake of fire to suffer for ever and ever along with the devil, beast, and false prophet?

5. In Matthew 25:46 Isn't the life eternal of the righteous sheep contrasted here with the everlasting punishment of the goats? How can everlasting punishment not be everlasting?

6. Doesn't the Bible teach the permanent condition of Hell/Hades?

7. Isn't the penalty for sin eternal torment in hell fire?

8. What does the Hebrew word Sheol mean?

9. What / who is Hinnom?

10. What is the origin of the English word hell?

11. What did James mean when he said that the tongue defileth the whole body, setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell [gehenna]? Is this a reference to eternal punishment?

12. Doesn't Mark 3:29 teach that a person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation?

13. Luke 3:9&17 state Every tree therefor which bringeth not forth good fruit will be cast into what fire? Why is there a distinction between wheat and chaff? If the chaff is burned up, doesnt that speak of annihilation? If the fire is unquenchable fire, doesn't that speak of eternal torment?

14. If Paul taught the full counsel of God, why did he fail to mention te Lake of Fire? No one has been able to answer that for me until I perused your site, namely the Question #4 on the Lake of Fire. I had thought that this might be limited in scope and dealing with the nations and Israel, and not for the whole of humanity. Could you elaborte on the Devil, Beast, and False Prophet being there?
