I happen to believe that these quotes are taken out of the context of Finney's Sermons.

Jhn 7:39, (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) 2Th 2:13, But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the...

The fact that Finney is spoken against says something to me in particular... Luk 6:22, Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Luk 6:26, Woe unto you, when...

Righteousness was imputed to Abraham because of his faith, as it is in the New Testament. However, in the New Testament, practical righteousness is also imparted (Romans 5:19 (kjv), Matthew 5:6 (kjv), 1 John 3:7 (kjv)) as a free gift (Romans 5:17 (kjv)).

Your point?

Of course...and he gains access into this grace by faith...Romans 5:2, Ephesians 2:8-9.

Right...He came to fulfill it. And that means that righteousness which was not possible before He came, is possible now. When we become born again, we are given a new heart and a new spirit, that is honest and good...we become new creatures in Christ...no doubt about it!

Eze 36:25, Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. Eze 36:26, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I...

My point was that James says in his epistle that when lust is conceived, it then brings forth sin. The man is drawn away of lust, and enticed, before lust conceives, as evidenced by the word "then" (in James 1:14-15); and produces sin. There is nothing wrong with a theology that makes a...

Since I haven't studied his sermons extensively enough to know whether or not you are telling the truth, I will sustain my judgment on the matter until I have read through more of his stuff. I think that his primary point is that we are humanly responsible for the things that we do with our...

If I were somehow able to put forth the scriptures at hand in such a way as to open your eyes to the reality of them, then I would. I agree with you that the problem is blindness. Your natural mind is not able to receive the things of the Spirit of God; for they are spiritually discerned. The...

James said: James 1:14-15. It is not a sin to be tempted. Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. Then, when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. Ecclesaiastes 7:20 was written before Jesus shed His blood on the Cross and before the Holy Ghost was...

I don't understand what you mean by this. Please elaborate further. Are you saying that James' epistle is not for the body of Christ? That it is not for those who are recipients of grace; and therefore not for the body of Christ? How do you account for the fact that James' epistle is holy...

You have not refuted me. You are simply looking at the verses that I have brought forth with blinded eyes in which you cannot see the truth of them. None of your "refutation" has convinced me of your pov...and this is not because of my looking at your reasoning with blind eyes, either...

Yes...and they might even get saved because of it...(you fail to read it at your own spiritual peril). If there is one thing that Finney's works tell us it is that there is a need to repent in light of all of the gobblety-gook that is thrown around (Calvinism). Finney spoke of the Cross and...

11. You see the necessity of addressing the feelings, or hopes and fears of men, as a means of awakening them, and securing their attention. Very exciting means, are, often, indispensable, to awaken and secure sufficient attention, to lead the way to conversion. When there are so many exciting...

INFERENCES AND REMARKS. 1. From this subject you see why many complain that they cannot submit to God. They do not give their attention to the considerations necessary to lead them to submission. Many occupy their thoughts with their state of feeling, are looking steadily at the darkness of...

But look for a moment at the conditions of the gospel. Repentance and faith. To repent, is to hate and renounce your sin. This requirement is not arbitrary on the part of God. It would neither be just to the universe, nor beneficial to you, to exercise pardon until you comply with this...

But perhaps, like many others, you have made this excuse for your rebellion; that, upon the whole, God desires you to sin; that, as he is Almighty, he could prevent sin if he pleased, and because he does not, you infer that he prefers the existence of sin to its non-existence, and the present...
