That Professed Christian Teacher
That professed Christian teacher who declares that God does not mean what He says in the fourth commandment of the Decalog, is saying to the lustfully inclined that God does not mean what He says in the seventh commandment; is saying to the covetous that God does not mean what He says in the tenth and eighth commandments; is saying to the hater of men that God does not mean what He says in the sixth commandment: and thus as a teacher he is breaking down all moral restraint. Thus divine prophecy has spoken of this class: “What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, or that thou shouldest take My covenant in thy mouth? seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.” Read Ps. 50: 16–22.
