‘They
who suppose the wrath and anger of God upon fallen man to be a state of mind in
God himself … hold the doctrine of the necessity of Christ’s atoning life and death
in a mistaken sense. That many good
souls may hold this doctrine in this simplicity of belief I make no manner of
doubt. But when books are written to
impose and require this belief of others as the only saving faith in the life
and death of Christ, it is then an error that ceases to be innocent.’
The
Rev. William Law (1686-1791), An Appeal to All That Doubt, Ch.3, para.4
