L0ACH'S INSPIRATION
OF THE DEVIL

thus:
1. Holy Writ says: "But time aud
chance happeneth to them all. Fec.
9:11. That is, to all peoples, and this
limiteth "chance" to time, and time
things and time peoples, as sure as
there is God.
No such thing as a chance to repent
and be saved after the angel swears
"That there shall be time no longer. 3"
Rev. 1876, because "chance" il
clearly limited to time OF that time
Christ TO John said: "He that is I'M
Just, let him be unjust still, and be
which is filthy, let him be filthy still,
and he that is righteous let him be
righteous still: and be that is holy, let
him be holy still. And behold, l come
quickly and my reward is VITA me, to
| give to every man accOr ling as his
| work shall be. Rev. 22:I1-12. which
makes it absolutely certain that no
more chance or "fair chance" will be
given people to be saved after Christ
comes.
.. All "secoud chance" advocates,
and all Russellite "fair chance" a1vo-
Gates, try to prove that all unsaved
peoples will have a second, or
s'fair" chance to be saved after Christ
comes, without adiucing single
Scripture so teaching AMI against this
and other plain Sculptures against
their false doctrine.
g. OF all having a "fair chance"
here in time to be saved, Christ said:
$50 We into all the world and preach
| the gospel to every creature. He that
believeth and is baptzsd shall be saw
| ed, but he that believeth not shall ba
damned. Mark 16:15-16 with no
sort of hint at a second''" or fair
chance after the Resurrection 2 OF
the preaching of the gospel Paul says:
(Which was preached to every Great
ure which is under heaven Col.
1 :23, which plainly shows all have
heard it, and if they thrust it from
them, it is their own fault and not
Gods. 3. OF this same gospel Paul
said: "For the hope which is laid mp
for you in heaven, whereof ye heard
before in the word of truth of the Cos
pei which is come unto you, as it is
in all the world. Col 1:5-6. 4.
Again, Paul said: "But l say, have
tbey not heard9 Yes, verify, their
sound went into all the earth, and
their words unto the ends OF the
world. Rom. 1918. Christ said:
"And when He (the Holy Spirit) is
come He will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness, and of Judge
ment st. Jno. 1853. John of
Christ said: "Thst was the true
Light, which ligheth every man that
cometh into the world. st. Jno
1:9. On the same subject Paul said:
"Because that which may be known
of God is manifest in" Tor rather toy
them, for God hath showed it unto
them. For the invisible things of
Him from the creation of the world
are clearly seen, being understood by
the things which are made, even His
etel nal power and Godhead: so that
they are without excuse. Rom. L.
1890, and 80 am sure that all these
Scriptural proofs clearly show that
God has given all His creatures of
peoples "fair chance to be saved
here In this life, so that they are with
out any sort of excuse, if they neglect |
so great salvation.
In the face of all these. plain,
positive proofs against a 'second
chance" "Uncle Tom" recently cited |
some cases of what he wrongly called |
"second chances" and exalted much, |
chances, but at last confessed that he |
had never studied the subject, but |
said he was going to do 30, which |
gave me the "holy horrors" for any
one to so expatiate on any Scripture
subject before he investigated it, be-
cause knew he was in great danger
Of Gods damnation for so doing 2
In reply to him "Aunt Belle" rather
disowned the "second" chance idea,
but she calls it "fair chance" for
she said: "But I have not said or
meant to infer that we are to have a
second chance, but / do say that we
must have fair chance. But
during the reign of the Messiah, all
who did not have fair trial during
the present age, must then have an
for life" which she said
in face of, and against all my Scrip
tural proofs that God has given to
all, to every creature, such fair and
honest chance as that all are without
excuse. If God has not given all
fair chance, as Belle indicates, then it
necessarily, logically and scripturally
follows that he gave some only "un-
fair" chances, that is, not an honest
chance but dishonest one; not a lust
chance but an unjust one; using trick
or artifice upon tue part of God with
these creatures, which is grave
charge to bring against God. OF Job
t is said: "In all this Job sinned not.
nor charged God foolishly or with fol-
y. JOB 1:22, but with all the proofs
have cited of God having given all
peoples all sorts of good, honest, fair
chances" to be saved in this life,
Belle by her denial of such a
,hance to lots of people, and her con-
claim that He must give them
/ "fair" chance after their resurrec-
ion, she virtually. and to all intents
md purposes charges God with all
Iorts of unfairness, dishonesty and
rickery here in this life, which is
ure to send her to hell, unless she re-
,ents of it and gets forgiveness before
The dies, for when she says any person
as not had fair chance, she simply
les on God and against His words,
or both say: "Behold, now is the &C.
epted time; behold, now is the day
I salvation. "a Cor. 60. Both
lows were so translated from Paul's
sreek word. 'nun," which means,
now, at this very time, not only of
he present moments, but of the pres
Mt time generally" and so all can see
hat "Belle" is giving the lie to I
