The Religion of Science #251982

The sources of this situation are plainly discernible. The middle of the last century marks the beginning of present religious thinking. At that time there was a dis tinct uniformity in the presentation of what Christianity is and teaches. The main items were: Hell fire; eternal damnation; the inspiration of the Bible; no salvation for the heathen; salvation by faith; the grace of God; sin; baptism; and heaven for those who believed and were faithful. Salvation was individual and not social. To doubt was one of the greatest of sins.
