Together with pointing out to mankind in the revealed scriptures great rewards like Paradise and terrible punishments like Hell. Almighty God gives guidance. and many admonishments and reminders. and threats and encouragement. Despite there being so many means guiding them to the straight path. the people of belief are defeated in the face of the feeble. repellent stratagems of Satan's party. which are without merit. At one time this caused me much thought. How is it. I wondered. that while they believe. they pay no attention to Almighty God's severe threats? Why is belief not sufficient?
