3. John iii. 36, the Lord says, “He that believeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.” Can a man of sense believe that those who believe not the Son, shall not see life, and yet believe that they shall see life?
4. Rev. xxii. 19, the Scriptures say of certain persons, that “God shall take away their part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Can a man of sense believe that a man whose “part is taken out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book,” can be saved?
5. Heb. xii. 15, the Scriptures speak of men “failing of the grace of God.” Can a man of sense believe that men may “fail of the grace of God,” and be saved? What! saved without the grace of God?
6. John viii. 21, the Lord said to certain persons, “Ye shall die in your sins; whither I go ye can not come.” Can a sensible man believe that men shall “die in their sins,” and that whither the Lord went they could not come, and still believe that all will be saved? Do not refer to what the Lord said to his disciples, for he said more than this to them. He said to his disciples, “Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterward.” John xiii. 36. This he did not say to the Jews. But he did say to the Jews, “Ye shalt die in your sins: whither I go ye can not come.” Is that true? It is. Then Universalism is not true.
7. Heb. x. 26, 27, Paul says, “If we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.” Can men of sense believe that a man for whom “there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,” but for whom their remains “a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries,” will be saved?
8. John v. 29, the Lord declares that “they who have done evil shall come forth to the resurrection of damnation.” Can a man of sense believe that those who have done evil can “come forth to the resurrection of damnation,” and yet all men be saved?
9. Rev. xx. 13–15, we find an account of the dead standing before God and being “judged every man according to their works,” and the declaration is made that “whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.” Can a man of sense believe that the dead shall be raised and judged according to their works, and the wicked, or those whose names are not written in the book of life, shall be cast into the lake of fire, and yet all men be saved?
10. Gal. v. 2, Paul testifies to certain men, “Christ shall profit you nothing.” Can a man of sense believe that those shall be saved whom Christ shall profit nothing?
11. Heb. vi., Paul declares of certain persons, that it is impossible to renew them again to repentance. Can a man of sense believe that those can be saved whom it is impossible to renew again to repentance?
12. Heb. ix. 27, Paul says, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Can a man of sense believe that “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment,” and not believe that God will judge men after death?
