Bible Note: I can tell you where a great deal of this false theology came into the mainstream thought of American evangelicalism. His name was Charles Finney, and what you have been reading characterizes his teachings during the Second Great Awakening, which left a moralistic, self-righteous theology in its wake that was fertile ground for such groups as the Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, and the Mormons, among other lesser-known cults that sprang up out of New England during the mid-1800s. The horrible part of it is that Finney is held by so many in this country as one of the greatest "evangelists" in American history. An excellent treatment of Finney can be found here: http://www.alliancenet.org/pub/articles/horton.finney.html and http://www.gty.org/[TILDE]phil/articles/finney.htm (replacing [TILDE] with the "little squiggly thing," of course) --Joe! |
