The First Adam and the Second: The Elohim Revealed in the Creation and Redemption of Man (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The First Adam and the Second: The Elohim Revealed in the Creation and Redemption of Man
The Delphic motto, Know thyself, is the utmost achievement of classic philosophy. It is the first principle of the doctrine of Christ, - the starting point to the higher knowledge of God and his Son. And, whilst philosophy exhausts itself in constructing the maxim, and utterly fails to show how we may come to self-knowledge, the gospel proclaims Him in whose glorious person man is one with J chovab,-without whom we can know neither our selves nor God; and, knowing whom, we have all knowledge. The apostasy of man, the corruption and depravity into which he plunged himself by his rebellion, and the curse thereby incurred from a God of holiness and truth, are the cardinal facts which lie at the basis of the whole saving doctrine of the Scriptures -facts which, if misunderstood or ignored, the word of God is a riddle; if denied, the very person of Christ is a lie. The doctrine, there fore, of original sin, has ever been held, by the church of God, to be funda mental to the whole system of truth; and every attempt to pervert that doc trine, or to set it aside, has been justly regarded as heresy, fraught with the most fatal consequences to the scheme of grace and the souls of men. A testimony to doctrines so important can never be unseasonable; and is, per haps, especially appropriate to the present time, when we have increasing evidence of defection from these doctrines, among some of our American churches, which once gloried in the faith they now disown, and were set for the defence of the truth which they now reject and assail.
