Well said! I shuddered when I read that as I thought about the doubt he could be putting in the hearts of any new Christians who think they all at once would be “holy” and “righteous” in their own eyes in order to be saved. How many would just walk away thinking they must have been “unworthy”?
That would have been me at one time.
Some *spiritual giant* like him saying that, that's the conclusion I would have come to, and I likely would have given up trying.
That only leads to torment and doubt. Not what God wants for His children, I daresay.
I know better now, as a mature Christian, but as a new believer, that could be very damaging.
Exactly...Salvation is as easy as falling off a chair...This guys makes it sound pretty difficult...And not all that desirable...
