TULIP GEMS

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”  (2 Peter 3:18)

"ALL MEN, EVERY MAN" 

When the Bible uses the terms "all" and "every" it can be used EITHER to mean all men without exception OR all men without distinction.  Christ died for all men without "distinction" (between Jew or Gentile, rich or poor, white or colored, male or female, old or young, etc.). 

But Christ did not die for ALL men without exception.  If He did, then God demands payment for sin twice, first at Christ's bleeding hand and then again at the sinner's hand in Hell. 

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN 

Some teach that the only reason men go to Hell is for the "unpardonable sin" of rejecting Christ.  This teaching doesn't hold water on two (2) counts: 

1. Many in Hell have never heard of Christ (such as the heathen who lived and died before the birth of Christ) -- they're in Hell for their evil works (Rev. 20:12-14). 

2. If Christ died for ALL men without exception, ALL sins (including the sin of rejecting Christ) were paid for and therefore need not be paid for again, by any, in Hell.
