Q90. Are there any other false views of God?
Yes. There are three more: 1\. Some think He is all mercy and no justice, and therefore conclude they can live however they please. 2\. Others think He is all justice and no mercy, and therefore reason that they might as well keep sinning and face damnation, since turning from sin won't do them any good anyway. 3\. Still others acknowledge that He is both just and merciful, but believe His justice is something they can satisfy through their own good works, saving themselves by their own effort; which stands directly against what Scripture teaches.
Scripture Proofs — King James Version
Romans 3:8
“And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.”
Jeremiah 2:25
“Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.”
Job 40:14
“Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.”
Habakkuk 1:13
“Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?”
Isaiah 45:21
“Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.”
