COMMENTARY
One of the elements of salvation is that a person believes in the
Biblical Doctrine of the Resurrection of Messiah from the
dead with is Heart! Now....
John Owen said this about a Christian’s heart;
"This is the subject, the seat, the dwelling-place of this law of
sin—-the ~Heart~: as it is the entire principle of moral
operations, of doing good or evil, as out of it proceed good or evil.
Here dwells our enemy; this is the fort, the citadel of this tyrant,
where it maintains a ~REBELLION AGAINST GOD ALL OUR DAYS!~
Sometimes it has more strength and consequently more success; sometimes
less of the one and of the other; but it is ~ALWAYS IN REBELLION
WHILST WE LIVE.~" [My Emphases.]; Temptation And Sin. Section title;
The Nature, Power, Deceit and Prevalency of the Remainders of
Indwelling Sin in Believers. Chap. 3 para. 6
Now ladies & gentlemen... If, as Owen says, the heart of a
Christian is "ALWAYS IN REBELLION WHILST WE LIVE" how in the name of
Boo-duh can such a person possibly believe in the doctrine of the
resurrection in that Rebellious heart? Belief in that Doctrine is in
Harmony with God, not Rebellion. But according to Owen his Heart is
ALWAYS in Rebellion.
If... as Mr John Owen states.... If a Christian’s heart;
"maintains a REBELLION AGAINST GOD ALL OUR DAYS!" then how in the name
of all that is sane and good could such a heart believe UNTO
RIGHTEOUSNESS! ? Such a notion as John Owen has put forth is nothing
but darkness. It not only violates all laws of sanity & logic but
it levels a DIRECT CONTRADICTION to the word of God which so clearly
testifies against such anti-christian doctrine from cover to cover. A
simple word search on the word ‘heart’ is more than
sufficient to refute such unbiblical nonsense!
Ps 7:10 My defense is of God, who saves the upright in heart.
Is a Heart that is in Rebellion Against God ~All our Days~... Upright?
Such a notion is imbecilic!
Ps 9:1 To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I
will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all
thy marvelous works.
Did the Psalmist praise Him with a Rebellious Heart?
John Owen taught heresy!
