EXTRACTS FROM A
BULGTN SERMON

Iasps Christ is the only person who |
.ger trod this earth who really knew
o,ytbing about he'll and he taught
Sosniteiv and clearly the doctrine OF
tntnre 1unishment which tie sald was
ateTnal and vet lie did more than any.
nc Else 10 keep men out Of II. Why
paea,,sa he knew Of the certainty ana
the terror Of hell. -,,,.
If he'll is not a real and terrible
place Jesus Christ was guilty Of gross
Misrepresentation and lying exaggefa-
tion. f..,,. .;ns ord
h,rn to God surrounded by the good IN
Anences of this world what makes you
s9nnose YOU can do so in hell! NO one
con rauent except the Holy SPIRIT WOO /
him and as there is no Holy spirit IN |
belI no man will repent there. FUR
tbermore. there is nothing IN the instl-
tnfion Of death to change a rebel SIN |
ner into a loving child Of God. NO |
wander Christ said. GAS tree talleth |
so must it lie, for you and l know
tbat as a man lives so will he die ana
be throughout eternity.
Men universally dislike the doctrine
If hell and that's a good argument to
nv mind that men did not wrlte the
Bible. for hell is certainly IN the BOOK
and if | am true to my calling as
nreaeber of the gospel | must preach
! iii tbe Rock teaches. Tom Payne was
a consistent infdel for he would not
accent tbe doctrine of hell and he
threw overheard the whole Bible, ana
he was right to do so since be refused
| 10 believe in a hell.
If sin and hell and the devil are not
the deadly realities Christ and the
Bible saw they are, God was a cruel ty-.
rant Yes, He was fool, to aiio"
! His Son to die Tor men to save thelr
souls from he'll, if there be no he'll.
You don't need a church to teach that
there is no devil and no hell, for Satan
has always taught that and no church
can outrun the devil at his own job.
| That's the reason Unitarian and Uni
yersalst churches are dying out, Hell
is not in the Bible as a threat, 1t is
there as a warning to men ,and II dld
not find the warning there | would say
! God did not love us, for men cannot
stay in this world forever, and an un-
repentant sinner cannot go into the
| nresence Of God, therefore there must
be a hell for sinners to go to and
maintain that lie warns us because he
/ loves US. God doesn't damn anybody.
You damn yourself. He'll was made
for the devil and his angels but if you
insist on running with the devil and
his gang you can get hell alright, but
Calvary is the blood red denial of the
theory that God da ms anybody. for
He has done all He can do to keep
men out of hell. The rest of the busi-
ness is up TO you.
get so tired of this argument about
God is love and wont allow anybody to
20 to hell. God is love alright, but He
is not lopsided God, and His love is
lust as great and no greater than his
Justice. How can God be just and fail
to punish sin and sinners in rebellion
against Him? Calvary is the only
means of escape and man mean
enough to be so rank an migrate as to
scorn the sacrifice the Son of God
made to redeem him ought to go hell.
The holiness of God demands hell.
No sinner can enter the holy presence
| of God except his sins be washed II
| the blood of the Lamb, and il an unre
| generate sinner could by any possibll
ity enter the presence of God, tn
absolute holiness and overpowerln
brightness of the Diety would be
| frightful hell to that sinner.

is no eternal life.
