"I dare say, that, in such an auditory as this, a number of Arminians are present. I fear, that all our public assemblies have too many of them. Perhaps, however, even these people, idolaters as they are, may be apt to blame, and, indeed, with justice, the absurdity of those who worship idols of silver and gold, the work of men's hands. But let me ask: If it be so very absurd, to worship the work of other men's hands; what must it be, to worship the works of our own hands? Perhaps, you may ask, "God forbid that I should do so." Nevertheless, let me tell you, that trust, confidence, reliance, and dependence, for salvation, are all acts and very solemn ones too, of divine worship: and upon whatsoever you depend, whether in whole or in part, for your acceptance with God, and for your justification in His sight, whatsoever, you rely upon, and trust in, for the attainment of grace or glory; if it be any thing short of God in Christ, you are an idolater to all intents and purposes." (A.Toplady)Sadly the Arminians like Franklin et al, depend on their own faculties and works. The golden idol of free will. History records that the true church has fought against the RCC and Arminians for the same reason, - Idolatry and salvation by works. |

Graham family ideology is Arminian. "There are basically only two religions in the world. One says, "If you will do such and such, God will graciously bestow His blessing upon you." The thousand and one varieties of this religion differ only on what the "such and such" is that you must be willing to do.
Notice carefully the three key words IF YOU WILL. (1) God's forgiveness is possible IF .....
(2) God's forgiveness is possible if YOU...
(3) God's forgiveness is possible if you WILL. . . . The ultimate success or failure of this religion is determined solely by the will of man. Everything depends on an "if," and on "you," and on "your willingness" to do your part. Redemption is always conditional since it depends on man's cooperation for success. The great work of salvation is not actually accomplished until God can find someone who is willing to "cooperate with Him." Our forefathers called this "if you will" system the "religion of works." It was also called "Arminianism"" (J.G.Reisinger) The Graham family proclaims this false witness of "If you will" - An unbiblical fallacy believed by many in the churches which is the religion of emptiness, worldliness and worthless. |
