Why will the lost be without argument at the great white throne?
They will be without argument because the Lamb's Book of Life will show their names are absent, and the record of evil deeds will confirm their guilt. Every mouth will be stopped, and all the world will be shown guilty before God, so they cannot barter or slip in.
Les explains that at the great white throne the lost will see the Lamb's Book of Life and their name is not in it. Then they will see the long list of evil deeds and works that they know they are guilty of, so there is no argument. They are consigned to eternal doom. Les notes that people like to think they are good enough or can somehow slip in, and some imagine they can barter with old Peter at the pearly gate, but it will not work that way. All who are lost will be brought to the great white throne with no argument, realizing they have been guilty of unbelief and rejecting, and they will go to their eternal doom. This matches Romans 3:19, where every mouth is stopped and all the world becomes guilty before God; there is no freedom or liberty while guilty.
