The Blasphemous Charge Against God

It is an awful charge to bring against God that He devised a plan that would bring millions of souls into this world, with no choice of their own, and then consign a large part of them—the failures—to an eternity of torture, to misery without end. It is equivalent to saying that God has permitted an unholy condition of things that He can not change, or else that He does not wish to change; that He is limited in power or is a tyrant. The whole blasphemous charge is based on man's supposedly inherent immortality or persistency of being, for which there is not the slightest warrant in Holy Scripture or reason.
