Tracts or concise treatises on UR

[SteveW]

Besides Gary's tract on the Tentmaker site do you know of other short, concise tracts/brochures/articles that cover the main arguments for UR?  I'm trying to write something for my own use with friends and would just like to see what else might be out there.

Steve,

Such things don't exist....
I started similar project as you describe. Just put online some tiny website that explains UR.
1 Timothy 2:3-4  ...God our Savior;  Who will have all men to be saved

That verse is all you need in your tract. But I'm sure you are well aware it's not how things works.
Your friends will say all doesn't mean all. So you need a reply to that. The will mentions sheep and goats. Then will mention Matthew 25:46
So you need to have answers for all those questions. And those answers raise new questions.
I think a good defense for UR doesn't take 6000 pages but it requires more than just a tract.

To convice ETs you need to answer all their questions. And this time all really means all  :winkgrin:

I don't know of any tract but a short cut if there are any, is do as follows:

1)    Find somebody any body who you believe truly knows
what ALL IN ALL means

2)Get him to formerly lay hands on you and commission you to preach
the cross and sent you out. (do this as led by the Holy Spirit )

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

3) When a brother or sister hears you preach if any come up to you encourage them.
Let them know you speak with power.

I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,

4)You can then discern for yourself whether to lay hands on them
and commission them in power to preach theCROSS of ALL IN ALL

5)Bless them with theses words in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left go out


His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden
