just punishment for sinful beings - says augustine since we were in loins of adam - hell is deserved
respects God omniscience - God knows what choices people will make

places christ at the centre and does not limit the sacrifice of Gods atonement for sin. he can save everyone
acknowledges that Jesus = judge as seen in the goats
free will

realises the unjust nature of eternal punishment says Hume
proportianality - true justice requires punishmet that is proportionate to the crime
all crime is finite and no one deserves such punishment

pelagius - it is possible for people to be good - predestination makes punishment unjust - humanity should not be blamed for the actions of adam and eve
limits christ redemptive power
overly pessesmistic
free will ??????????

there is nothing in our power we can do - augustine
barth would reply that Gods grace is still the key therefore = God not human merit
