I believe that the recent merging of Holiness in Love, and the practical denial that Righteousness is fundamental in Gods nature, are responsible for the utilitarian views of law and the superficial views of sin which now prevail in some systems of theology. There can be no proper doctrine of the atonement and no proper doctrine of retribution, so long as Holiness is refused its preeminence. Love must have a norm or standard, and this norm or standard can be found only in Holiness. The old conviction of sin and the sense of guilt that drove the convicted sinner to the cross are inseparable from a firm belief in the self affirming attribute of God as logically prior to and as conditioning the self communicating attribute. The theology of our day needs a new view of the Righteous One. ( Augustus Hopkins Strong ) All I can say is AMEN and AMEN!!! The great falling away is taking place......
