R.M.,N.S.W.:Therearesomepointsdonotunderstandabout thejudgmentofmankindbyGod,andonwhichIwouldlikefur therinformation.

R.:Indealingwiththe judgmentofmankindby Godwearedealingwitha mveryconcerningwhich soil,definitefactshave beenrevealed-quite enoughforallpractical purposes-butnotallthose detailswhichwouldbe necessarytosatisfyfullyour curiosity.

Itisquitepossiblethat hadGodrevealedfullyand exactlyallthatwillbeinvolved,inourpresentstate mostofitwouldbequite beyondus,andwe'dbe simplyincapableofunderstandingeventheelements ofitall.

Thereareaspectsofthe subject,therefore,whichwe mustbecontentnottounderstanduntilweactually encounterthem.

However,Iwilltryto clarifywhatcanbeclarifiedasregardsyourown particularproblems.

WhyRepetition?

Q.:Wearetaughtthatimmediatelyafterdeaththe soulisJudged.

R.:Thatistrue.Sowe aretoldintheNewTestamentthat"itisappointed untomanoncetodie,and afterthatthejudgment." (Heb.9:27.)

SeveralplacesinScripturemakeitclearthateach humansoulencountersits particularjudgmentassoon asdeathhasreleasedit fromthebody.

Asouldepartingfromthis lifeinastateofunrepented mortalsinwould,therefore, beatoncecondemnedto hell,goingasaseparated spirittoshareinthefate reservedforthedeviland hisothercompanions,the fallenangels.

Q.:Itissaidthat,onthe LastDay,thereistobe theGeneralJudgment.

R.:Thatalsoistrue.Thus ChristdeclaredthatHewill comeagaininHismajesty andglorytojudgeallmankind.

InJohn(5:28-29)we read:"Thehourcometh whereinallthatareinthe gravesshallhearthevoice oftheSonofGod.And theythathavedonegood thingsshallcomeforthunto theresurrectionfiflife:but theythathavedoneevil, untotheresurrectionof junt." tateventSt.Paul

w-"Wemustallbe manifestedbeforejudgment seatofChrist."(2Cor.5:10.)

TriumphOfChrist

ofChrist,andofboththe mercyandthejusticeof God. TheGeneralJudgment, therefore,isnotthatour eternaldestinymaybedecided.Thatisdoneinthe ParticularJudgment.

IntheGeneralJudgment thedecisionwillreceiveits fullapplicationtousasconsistingofbothbodyand soul,andwillbeauniversal manifestationofthewisdom andjusticeandmercyof God'sways.

Q.:Takethecaseofasoul condemnedattheParticularJudgmenttohell.

Whereisthebodyandthe soulofthatpersononthe LastDay?

R.:Thesoulisinhell.On theLastDaythebodywill beraisedfromthedead, havingundergoneamysteriouschangewecannothope tounderstanduntilitactuallyhappens.

Thatbodywillthenbe reunitedwiththesoul,the soulnotceasingtobein hell,atleastasfarasthe essentialsufferingofalienationfromGodisconcerned.

NoSpaceDifficulty

Q.:Icannotunderstandhow itisthatonecannever comeoutofhell,andyet lostsoulsmustcomeback tobereunitedwiththeir bodiesfortheGeneral Judgment.

R.:Thatisbecauseyou arethinkingaccordingto ideaspropertothisworld ofspaceandtime,ideas whichcannotpossiblydo justicetothemysterious realitieswhichwillprevail atthefinalconsummation ofthewholegreatdramaof humanlife.

Onecanthinkofalost soul,notcoming"outof hell"asoutofa"place," butasbeingina"state"of miseryfromwhichitcannot escapenomatterwhereitis intermsoflocality.

Butallourideasonthis subjectareinadequate,and whilstweacceptthefactof theLastJudgmentasrevealedbyGod,wemustbe contenttoleavethemanner ofitintherealmof mystery.

PapalBullHas NoSlangMeaning

"Querulous,"N.S.W.:Has thephrase"PapalBull"any connectionwiththeslang word"bull,"meaningan untruth?

Q.:Tomymind,thedecisiongivenintheGeneral Judgmentwouldbethe sameasthatgiveninthe ParticularJudgmentimmediatelyafterdeath.If so,ofwhatuseisit?

R.:ItistruethatthedecisionintheGeneralJudgmentwillbebutarepetitionandconfirmationofthe decisionalreadygivenin theParticularJudgment.

Butthecircumstances willbeverydifferent.The ParticularJudgmentisa privatejudgment,andofthe soulonly.

TheGeneralJudgment followstheresurrectionof thedead,whenbodieswill bereunitedwithsouls,so thatthecompletehuman beingwillmeetitsfate.

Togetdowntotintacks, Idon'tthinkthat"Faith First"correctlyunderstood CardinalSaliege'sremarks. WhentheCardinalsaidthat workingconditionscould notbechangedwithouta reformofinstitutions,he didnotsayormean-"withouttheirdestruction."

Someinstitutionsthat havebeenreformedinthe last1900yearsare:-the institutionofslavery(chattelslaveryinChristian countrieshasbeenabolished);theinstitutionof marriage(involvingtheimprovedstatusofwomen); theinstitutionsofkingship, ofgovernment,ofthelaw, oftheeconomicsystem.

WhenHisEminencesaid thatthepresentdaycivilisationwasfoundedonthe rightsofmoney,respectfor propertyandprofit,hedid notmeanthatthesewere inthemselvesevil.

Buthepointedoutthe supremeChristianprinciple-thatthesocialsystem mustbebasedprimarilyon manhimself,thatis,onthe humanentitymadebyGod inHisimageandconsidered byHimworthyofransom bytheIncarnateWord.
