“In the long run the answer to all those who object to the doctrine of hell, is itself a question: What are you asking God to do? To wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive them? They will not be forgiven. To leave them alone? Alas, I am afraid that is what He does.” GivingLongDoeDoneHelpingRunningPastSinAnswersHellObjectsCostDifficultyAskingForgivingDoctrineOfferingLong RunsForgivenAlasMiraculousWipeFresh StartCalvaryAsking God Author:C.

“If some should accuse us as if we held that people born before the time of Christ were not accountable to God for their actions, we shall anticipate and answer such a difficulty. We have been taught that Christ is the first-begotten of God, and we have declared him to be the Logos of which all mankind partakes. Those, therefore, who lived according to reason (logos) were really Christians, even though they were thought to be atheists, such as, among the Greeks, Socrates, Heraclitus and others like them.” PeopleIfsShouldFirstsHas BeensReasonActionChristianChristBornAnswersMankindTaughtDifficultyAtheistGreekAnticipateLogos Author:Justin Martyr
