Nuggets from "An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith" by Dave Hunt

October 2, 2016

Nuggets from “ An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith ” by Dave Hunt It is astonishing how many millions of otherwise seemingly intelligent people are willing to risk their eternal destiny upon less evidence than they would require for buying a used car.

Questions and Responses

Question: In the millennium, a child will die being 100 years old and will go...where? After the millennium, the New Jerusalem descends to earth. This is not for all believers but only the church. Can you sort this out?

Question: [composite of several]: You object to the idea that there was any death, even of animals, prior to Adam's sin. Death passed upon all men. Animals aren't mentioned and certainly don't sin. What would preclude animals from dying prior to the fall?

Question: I do not recall your ever having addressed the subject of cremation. Is it unbiblical?

Question: In Luke we read about the little girl who was “asleep,”…. If she was only asleep, as Jesus said, why did her spirit “return” to her? Yet, we cannot disbelieve Jesus when He said she was “asleep.”

Question: I’ve always believed [that believer's will appear at Christ's judgment seat after the Rapture] but now I’m wondering, why can’t the believer appear before the judgment seat of Christ after death rather than waiting for the Rapture?

Question: You teach that upon death Christians go to be with Christ. And yet the Bible says they rise from their graves at Christ’s return. How can they be in heaven and rise from their graves, too?

Question: In your May newsletter you agreed with Chuck Smith, et al. that “Jesus died spiritually.” That sounds like the doctrine of “soul sleep.”...How could God, who is Spirit, die?

Question: If Christ took upon Himself the grave and the Lake of Fire, then there is no need of repentance and trusting Him for our salvation. Wouldn't both penalties be paid in full?

Question: In the March/April 1993 issue of Perhaps Today, Jack Van Impe writes that Jesus died spiritually....Did Jesus die spiritually? Was the Trinity separated? If the Spirit of God died, who was in charge of the universe while God was dead. . . ?

Question: “Sleep” seems to be a key word in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. What does “sleep” mean in that context?
