"Do men really believe that there is a gospel for each century? Or a religion for each fifty years? Will there be in heaven saints saved according to a score sorts of gospel? Will these agree together to sing the same song? And what will the song be? Saved on different footings, and believing different doctrines, will they enjoy eternal concord, or will heaven itself be only a new arena for disputation between varieties of faiths?"
"That which is new in theology is not true; the gospel was of full stature at its very birth; no man can add to it or take away from it."
"There are many points and particulars in which the gospel is offensive to human nature, and revolting to the pride of the creature. It was not intended to please man.How can we attribute such a purpose to God? Why should he devise a gospel to suit the whims of our poor fallen human nature? He intended to save men, but he never intended to gratify their depraved tastes."
-Charles Spurgeon (taken from Josh Williamson's blog)
