The Importance of Man’s Nature
Its Importance.—How many there are who, when faced with the Bible truth upon man's nature, reply, "Well, it makes little difference what one believes." But it does make a difference. There is more than mere technical accuracy attached to the question of the truth of the doctrine of man's nature. Upon the claim of man's inherent immortality, or the "immortal soul," of consciousness in death, the deceiver has reared the great superstructures—idolatry, saint worship, Mariolatry, Universalism, eternal misery, Christian Science, Buddhism, transmigration of souls, modern Spiritism, and other soul-destroying doctrines and systems. This wrong view of man's nature makes void the second coming of Christ and the resurrection. A knowledge of the Bible truth that man is mortal, that his only hope of future life is through Jesus and the resurrection, and all these baleful errors are destroyed of themselves.
