The Last Assize (Judgment)
by G.H. Lang; 104 pgs.
How could a God of love and mercy judge anyone to eternal punishment?
Holding on to this sentiment has led some to turn rather to teachings of universal restoration, reincarnation, or annihilation. After decades of study on these matters GH Lang wrote this thorough review. A few of his introductory points:
(1) Be cautious of appeals to sentiment. They disturb that balance of mind indispensable to sober inquiry and sound judgment.
(2) How shall reason guide us as to eternal matters, seeing that it has no data upon which to work?
(3) If reason has ought to say upon the subject, surely it is that God alone knows the future, that He alone can foretell it with certainty, and that it is in the Holy Scriptures alone that He has done so to man.
G.H. Lang then brings numerous subjects relevant to this study into the light of the Holy Scriptures, including universalism, spiritism, remedial suffering, annihilation, the meaning of death, Hades, the Lake of Fire, the unevangelized, and man’s free will.
