The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD THE human heart has been so often confounded with the nature of mankind that there should be much profit in meditating on its meaning in the word of God. Indeed, one who objected to the thought that human nature, or instinct, is not depraved, sent a…

The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD IN God’s Word human nature is good. In evangelical theology, it is bad, very bad. This is one of those terms which even greatly enlightened teachers of the Bible have altered utterly from its scriptural significance, so that “natural” has become a synonym for sinful. Subtly…

The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD THEOLOGY and science have much in common. But it is far more difficult to separate fact from theory in theology than it is in science. Many a “scientist” who has fondly clung to evolution has found that the postulates of that theory are false. One of…

 The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD A stranger coming into Christendom would certainly deduce from the literature of the day that there are two great powers struggling for supremacy, one good, and one evil, and that the evil was not only uppermost at present, but would eternally prevail over the good. Only…

 The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD THE basic truth of divine revelation, that all is of God (Rom. 11:36) is so severe a strain on the faith of some of God’s saints, that they instinctively reject it, excusing their unfaith on the ground that it is repulsive to their spiritual natures.

 The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD NOWHERE, perhaps, are man’s theories and God’s thoughts further apart than on the means of dealing with sin. This divergence is limited to theology, however, for in other walks of life man finds his ideas will not work, so reverts to the true and practical solution.…

 The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD THE fall of Satan is a fundamental factor in human and satanic theology. Like many another false notion, such as natural immortality, it is so vital to the spirit of error which pervades theology that no one seems to notice its absence from the pages of…

 The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD PRACTICALLY all are agreed that sin is of the devil. We thoroughly believe this. But when we are asked to believe that God created a sinless being who, without any external or internal cause, becomes the father of all that is false, our reason revolts, and…

 The Problem of EVIL and The Judgments of GOD BEFORE they sinned, Adam and Eve had no knowledge of good. Good lay all about them, unmixed with evil.
