We believe that the lake of fire is a literal place. Here there is tor ture but not annihilation. All we can say is that the resurrection bodies of the unredeemed will be of the type while not consumed will suffer torment in a literal fire. This is Cods Word. That is not my opinion. That is God's word, and that is the reason why we are so desperate to get people saved so that they may come into that glor ious relationship with our Lord Je sus Christ. Q. Pasadena, Calif. "What are your views on a pre-Adamic race? In Gen. 1:28 we read God's exhorta tion to our first parents that they were to replenish the earth and to subdue it. This would indicate that
there must have been some kind of inhabitants on earth destroyed before Adam." A . There is not one scrap of evi dence in the Bible that such could possibly be true. Cod created one man, Adam, and all the human family have come from him. God no doubt did create non-human, spirit intelligences before Adam, since we know there were angels, the word "replenish" simply means "to fill." Q. "What about the cave men? How far back would you say they go?" A. No one knows for sure, howev er, it doubtless came sometime af ter the fall of Adam. The fact re mains that no one knows for sure. Page 19
