960 B U S I N E S S air their supposed scholarship? Who make light of the atoning blood of the Son of God—the blood that bought them? Do you know any of them? Do you sympathize with them? Do you apologize for them? Do you seek to satisfy yourself and others by telling how sweet and amiable and lovely they are? Do you, beloved, know a damnable heresy when you hear it? Can you endorse the teaching of a man who denies the blood that was shed to save him? Listen to Peter as he speaks of the blood of Christ. (1 Pet. 1:38) “Forasm uch as ye know th a t ye were n o t redeem ed w ith corruptible things, as silver and gold, from you r v ain conversation received by trad itio n from your fath ers; B u t w ith th e precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb w ithout blem ish and w ithou t-spo t.” Is there anything you can think of more terribly wicked in the sight of God our Father who gave His Son; in the sight of our Lord Jesus Christ who offered Himself as a sin-offering for your sins; in the sight of the Holy Spirit who indited the message of Peter,—than this damnable heresy of denying the blood—the precious blood? And is there anything more fearful than the judgment which must await these heretics who delight in slurring the sacrifice of Christ and who deliberately connive with Satan to destroy the souls of the sons of men? What shall we do? Pray for these false teachers and preachers for destruction awaits them. Pray for the poor, deluded people who have not wisdom enough to read the Bible for themselves. Lift your voice. Use your influence and all of your power to warn the people—young and old—of the horrors of these heresies and of the hell that awaits those who give ear to these seducing spirits.
