These theories, followed to their logical conclusion, sweep away the whole Christian economy. They do away with the necessity for the atonement and make man his own savior. These theories regarding God make His word of no effect, and those who accept them are in great danger of being led finally to look upon the whole Bible as a fiction. The unaided human will has no real power to resist and overcome evil. The defenses of the soul are broken down.
Man has no barrier against sin.
When once the restraints of God's word and His Spirit are rejected, we know not to what depths one may sink. He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. The revelation of Himself that God has given in His word is for our study. This we may seek to understand. But beyond this we are not to penetrate.
