PANTHEISM (11 of 12 notes)

Part Three
Theology Proper: 15 THEISM
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

And he shows how Spinoza teaches that

... sin is nothing positive. It exists for us but not for God. The same things which appear hateful in men are regarded with admiration in animals.. . It follows then that sin, which only expresses an imperfection, cannot consist in anything which expresses a reality. We speak improperly, applying human language, when we say that we sin against God, or that men offend God.⁴
