Excerpt from The Guilt of the Pagan: A Sermon
They are without excuse; because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind. - romans i. 20, 21, 28.
Unless the guilt of the pagan world can be proved, the m1ss1o-nary enterprises of the Christian church, from the days of the Apostles to the present time, have all been a waste of labor; Nay more, if the sin and ill-desert of the entire human race, in all its generations, cannot be established, then the Chris tian religion itself, involving the incarnation of God, is an attempt to supply a demand that has no real existence. Both theoretical and practical Christianity stands or falls with the doctrine of the universal guilt of man. It is no wonder, there fore, that the apostle Paul, in the opening of the most system atic and logical treatise in the New Testament, the epistle to the Romans, enters upon a line of argument to demonstrate the ill-desert of every human creature Without exception, and to prove that before an unerring tribunal, and in the final day of adjudication, every mouth must be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God (rom.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of universal human guilt, as proposed by the apostle Paul, and explores its implications for the missionary work of the Christian church. The author argues that the pagan world is without excuse for its idolatry and sensuality, as they have a fundamental knowledge of God and moral law which they have suppressed. The book examines the idea that this suppression of innate knowledge is a result of the aversion of the human heart, and that it has led to a distorted understanding of the Divine. The author maintains that natural religion alone cannot save individuals from eternal damnation, and that only the revealed religion of Christ can offer redemption. The book's insights provide a profound understanding of the human condition and the significance of Christ's sacrifice for the salvation of all mankind.
