Opis: Lectures on the Moral Imperfection of Christians - Williston Seth

Excerpt from Lectures on the Moral Imperfection of Christians: Designed to Show, That While Sinless Perfection Is Obligatory on All, It Is Attained by None

Should a Perfectionist take up this book and read its title-page, it is not improbable he will say in his heart, The author had been better employed in an effort to raise the Church from its present Laodiceanism to our high standard, than in seeking to bring us down to the common level. Bat what is there in the title of his book which should subject the author to the suspicion of being unfriendly to sanctification, even in its greatest extent True, it is asserted on the title-page, that sinless perfection is attained by none. Does this amount to proof that it is the object of his book to hinder Christians from growing in grace If you were to see men contending in a race, who thought they had reached the terminating point, when you knew that they had much ground yet to pass over, would it not be kind in you to apprise them of their mistake Your doing so could give them no reason to say that you were wishing to impede them in their race. Is it any proof that we do not wish men to be holy, even to perfection, because we do not believe they are so already

But how how do yon know, the Perfectionist may say, that I am not perfectly holy
