“ The Law sets forth what man ought to be. Grace sets forth what God is.” (Page 24)
“Yet the eagle is used as a symbol of God and deity in Scripture. In the Book of Ezekiel deity is represented by the face of an eagle. In the fourth chapter of the Book of Revelation deity is pictured by a flying eagle.” (Page 14)
“It was a perfect symbol of the Lord Jesus Christ in His deity and humanity. Jesus Christ was the God–man; His deity was represented by the gold and His humanity was represented by the wood.” (Page 59)
“God does not accept worship until it comes from a cleansed heart nor will He accept service except from a cleansed heart.” (Page 99)
“The Sabbath was given specifically to Israel. I do not believe it was ever given to the church. When someone asks me, ‘When was the Sabbath Day changed?’ I always reply that it never was changed. It was done away with, as far as the church is concerned. We are not under the Sabbath Day which is Saturday. We do not observe Saturday—Jesus was dead that day and we are not serving a dead Christ. On the first day of the week Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The church from the very beginning met on the first day of the week. That is when the church was born; the day of Pentecost was on the day after the Sabbath. The Sabbath was first given to the entire human race but man turned away from God, and God gave the Sabbath exclusively to Israel.” (Pages 104–105)
