"Man's Utter Inability To Rescue Himself"
"We have now had a view of the total corruption of man's nature, and that load of wrath which
lies on him, that gulf of misery into which he is plunged in his natural state. But there is one part
of his misery that deserves particular consideration; namely, his utter inability to recover himself,
the knowledge of which is necessary for the due humiliation of a sinner."
- EDWARDS, JONATHAN 1703-1758
"The End Of The Wicked Contemplated By The Righteous"
"When they shall come to bear the wrath of the Almighty poured out upon them without mixture,
and executed upon them without pity or restraint, or any mitigation; it will doubtless cause
anguish, and horror, and amazement vastly beyond all the sufferings and torments that ever any
man endured in this world; yea, beyond all extent of our words or thoughts."

there is an absolute and universal dependence of the redeemed on God for all their good. And,
2dly, That God hereby is exalted and glorified in the work of
redemption."

in his mercy and love to them."

"Creation Day 6" - The Creation Of Man - Genesis Origins Series -
Genesis 1:24-27
But there are two lies in particular that provide the basic paradigm for modern culture, two lies.
Lie number one is that life is random. That is that the way things are is just the way they kind of
happened with nobody planning and nobody carrying it off, it just sort of evolved that way. Life is
random. There is no purpose to it. There is no reason for it. There is no sovereign unfolding plan
being carried out by a designing and powerful creator. Life is just random.To put it another way,
the universe as it exists was not created by God, nor is God the authority over this creation. It's
just a matter of chance, random chance. Second lie...first one, life is random...second lie, truth is
relative...truth is relative. The Bible is not the Word of God. The Bible does not give us the truth
about right and wrong, life and death, morality and immorality in the past and the future. There is
no authority beyond yourself. Life is random, truth is relative.Now those two lies are so
established in our society that people hate the Christian world view which opposes those
lies.

"The Creation Of Man" - Genesis: Origins Series - Genesis 2:4-7
"Folks, there's no evolution here. There's no time here. There's no process. There's no
mutating. There's no survival of the fittest. There was no pre-Adamic man of any kind. There is
no pre-human man. There is no transitional man. And I'm telling you: I am constantly amazed
and I suppose amused at the bizarre, unfounded, confused machinations of evolution that have
created nothing but an inexplicable, irrational, unprovable, chaotic complex of tangled schemes to
explain what God said in one Verse. One Verse. That's the creation of
man."
- MacARTHUR, JOHN F. 1939-present
"The Creation Of Woman" - Genesis: Origins Series -
Genesis 2:18-25
"It wasn't anything he saw that was in any way compatible with him. So Adam comes to the
conclusion that in all the creation he, alone, is alone. He has no kenegdo, no counterpart,
no partner, no companion, no one suitable to come alongside and be with him and help him to
'multiply, being fruitful and fill the earth.' And since there was in the animal kingdom no creature
capable of a relationship to man, God made one. Verse 21: 'So the Lord God caused a deep sleep
to fall on the man.' God is the original anesthesiologist. And God is the original surgeon. And He:
'Caused a deep sleep to fall on' Adam, because God was going to do an operation. And it says:
'He slept.' He slept while God operated. And here was the operation. The NAS says: 'He took
one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.'"

"Now this is by far the saddest event in history, obviously. All problems, personal and
environmental...all that is wrong, evil, immoral, incomplete, all that is decaying, all that is inferior,
all failure, all disappointment, all weakness, all sadness, all sorrow, all pain, all disillusionment, all
trouble, all discomfort, all remorse, all regret, all conflict, all hate, all jealousy, all envy, all
bitterness, all vengeance, all fear, all crime, all selfishness, all confusion, all lies, all deception, all
error, all intimidation, all manipulation, all deviation, all distortion...everything that fails to be as
perfect as God is came from this one event. This then is a monumental event. It truly defines life
in our universe. It is the reason for all imperfection and death."
- TURRETIN, FRANCIS 1623-1687
"Creationism Or Traducianism" - THE ORIGIN OF THE SOUL
Although there are various opinions of theologians and philosophers about the origin of the soul,
yet principally there are two to which the others can be referred: one asserting the creation, the
other the propagation, (traducem) of the soul. The former holds all souls to have been
immediately created by God and by creating infused; thus to be produced from nothing and
without any preexisting material. The latter, however, maintains that souls are propagated. The
former is the opinion of almost all the orthodox (with many of the fathers and scholastics). The
latter is embraced by the Lutherans. Tertullian was the author of propagation (traducis) in
Treatise on the Soul (ANF 3:181-235), whom the Luciferians and many of the Latins followed.
- WHITEFIELD, GEORGE 1714-1770
"Marks Of A True Conversion"
The Lord, therefore, plainly tells us, what great change must be wrought in us, and what must be
done for us, before we can have any well grounded hopes of entering into the kingdom of heaven.
Hence, he tells Nicodemus, "that unless a man be born again, and from above, and unless a man
be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God."
- WHITFIELD, GEORGE 1714-1770
"The Potter And The Clay"
"I shall undertake to prove, that every man naturally engendered of the offspring of Adam, is in
the sight of the all-seeing, heart-searching God, only as a "piece of marred clay. That being thus
marred, he must necessarily be renewed: and under this head, we shall likewise point out by
whose agency this mighty change is to be brought about."
