“The Lord never came to deliver men from the consequences of their sins while yet those sins remained...Yet men, loving their sins and feeling nothing of their dread hatefulness, have, consistent with their low condition, constantly taken this word concerning the Lord to mean that he came to save them from the punishment of their sins.” MenMeanFeelingsChristSinLordTakenConditionsLowsConsequencePunishmentConsistentDread Author:George MacDonald
“Every attempt to reflect upon the Atonement, to study it, to embrace it, to express appreciation for it, however small or feeble it may be, will kindle the fires of faith and work its miracle towards a more Christlike life. It is an inescapable consequence of so doing. We become like those things we habitually love and admire. And thus, as we study Christ’s life and live his teachings, we become more like him.” MayChristStudyFireTeachingConsequenceMiracleEmbraceAppreciationAdmireAtonementKindlesExpress Appreciation Author:Tad R.

“The bottom line is not money but some sort of demonic compulsion that drives these people to lash out against Jesus Christ, against Christians, and against anyone who holds to a sincere belief in God, in spite of the fact that it is going to cost them tens of millions of dollars to do it.

“This doctrine of forgiveness of sin is a premium on crime. Forgive us our sins means Let us continue in our iniquity. It is one of the most pernicious of doctrines, and one of the most fruitful sources of immorality. It has been the chief cause of making Christian nations the most immoral of nations. In teaching this doctrine Christ committed a sin for which his death did not atone, and which can never be forgiven. There is no forgiveness of sin. Every cause has its effect; every sinner must suffer the consequences of his sins.” MeanHas BeensChristianSufferingNationsCausesChristSinAtheismTeachingEffectsCrimeSourceConsequenceForgivingCommittedPositive AtheismDoctrineChiefsSinnerForgivenImmoralImmoralityPerniciousPremiumIniquityChristian NationForgiveness Of SinsNo Forgiveness Author:John Remsburg
