Today, when people say they cannot believe, it is not a mental problem; it is a matter of the will of the heart- they do not want to believe.

If some should accuse us as if we held that people born before the time of Christ were not accountable to God for their actions, we shall anticipate and answer such a difficulty. We have been taught that Christ is the first-begotten of God, and we have declared him to be the Logos of which all mankind partakes.
