Again, nonsense!! IF preachers would preach sermons on the natural condition of man, most churches would be empty. Read the Scriptures and note the teaching of the Lord Christ, who is the embodiment of truth. And read how many believed upon Him who had much knowledge of the Old Testament. If the Lord Christ was judged by popular standards on success in evangelism, He would be fired immediately. The same goes for the Apostles, who likewise preached and taught the truth of God and salvation. The vast majority of their hearers rejected them and even did them violence. It is God's eternal purpose to save a REMNANT out of Adam's fallen race.

Take special note of every man or woman who was given a true knowledge of God, e.g., Isaiah, Nebuchadnezzer, David, the close disciples of Christ, Paul, et al. In every case, they were smitten with both their wretchedness and God's/Christ's holiness. They fell on their faces and cried out to God to depart from them. Is that the experience of all these people you deem Christians who are simply lacking in proper teaching?

Have you ever read the sermons of men such as Ralph Erskin?
