Lady Book Notes - MEB Jones

I didn't spend much time with these notes, but once again, I had to make copies because THEY ARE SO OLD! c. 1910

I titled them Lady Book because of the logo on the cover.

Difference between sin and crime.  God can not punish Sin in this life. Judgment falls upon all alike. These are not punishment. Sin cannot be judged at Death because there is no judge. Guide? and witness are both necessary to a fair trial. Cannot be at death because we are to live on.

Unbelief, the great obstruction to Christ's work. 2 All things in general are possible to God. But it is to him that believes as to particulars ??? I may not have correct translation
