Lazarus come frOn1-doWn from
heaven or out Of the tomb?
Ans.-He came out of the tomb.
@. 2O.-If the real Lazarus had been
in heaven four days, and then came
back to live with his sisters again,
can you explain why he never told
them a word about his wonderful
trip and what he saw up there?
Ans.-He had not been anywhere
except in the tomb. All that talk
about people going to heaven when
they die is just as ridiculous as to
say it is dry weather when it rains.
@. 21.-If there is an endless burn
ing hell Of torment for the wicked,
who made it?
Ans.-There is not, never has been,
and never will be any such place.
@. EFF God made hell, and
then employed the devil to rum it for
him, don't that prove that God and
the devil business partners and good
friends
Ans.-If such condition existed it
certainly would prove that God and
the devil We're partners and friends.
But such a condition does not exist,
and those who teach that it does
are slandering the Creator. 1t is
nothing less than dangerous BIAS
phemy to teach people such terrible
stuff.

two parts-soul and body which

Adann-the whole man.
@. 11.-Which part was it that could
think, feel, understand, and be re-
sponsible for its conduct?
| Ans.--1t was neither PART that
could do these things, since he was
not divided into parts. 1t was the
| whole man,
Some of the questions that | print
ed In the January issue are real ques-
tions from the orthodox standpoint,
but when viewed from the stand
point of reason and common sense
they cease to be questions at all.
@. 12.-Which part was it that sin
ned, the soul or the body?
| Ans.-When we learn that man is
not composed of two or three separate
parts, we see at once that the above
question does not need an answer.
It was the whole man that sinned,
and not any particular part Of him,
| Q. 13-When God said to Adam,
as recorded in Gen. 2:17, ''for in the

| Ans.-He was not talking to any
part, but to the whole man.

ties were passed upon Adam for his
sin? Is the penalty mentioned in
Gen. 2:17 different penalty from the
one mentioned In Gen. 3:19?
Ans.-They are both the same
There was just one penalty.
Q. 16.-If there was just one
penalty, what was it? Does the
Bible say it was death--a returning
to dust? Or does it say it was an
endless life of torment in a burning
hell?
Ans.-The penalty was death-a re-
turning to dust-and there was not
even the renotest hint of an endless
life in torment
@. 17.-After Adam had sinned and
incurred the death penalty upon him.
self and his posterity, what would
have been the result if no Saviour had
come to redeem. the race? In that
event, where would Adam and his race
have spent eternity?
| Ans-They would have spent
eternity in the death state, entirely
unconscious of anything They would
simply have been gone out Of ex-
listence, nevermore to have life or
consciousness Of any kind.
| Q. 18.-Did Jesus rFally die ON
the cross? Or was it just his body
that died?
