Genesis 1 as “gospel”
“As a politician, he will cry out that war is a waste of life, and then, as a philosopher, that all life is waste of time. A Russian pessimist will denounce a policeman for killing a peasant, and then prove by the highest philosophical principles that the peasant ought to have killed himself. . . . The man of this school goes first to a political meeting, where he complains that savages are treated as if they were beasts; then he takes his hat and umbrella and goes on to a scientific meeting, where he proves that they practically are beasts.”
Genesis 1 as “gospel”
• God is good.
•Man is created for a noble purpose.
• Israel is a “new creation”
•We are invited to enter into God’s rest.
