Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners

by John Bunyan

The errors that this people then maintained, were:- ‘1. That the holy scriptures were not the word of God. ‘2. That every man in the world had the spirit of Christ, grace, faith, etc. ‘3. That Christ Jesus, as crucified, and dying sixteen hundred years ago, did not satisfy divine justice for the sins of the people. ‘4. That Christ’s flesh and blood were within the saints. ‘5. That the bodies of the good and bad that are buried in the church-yard, shall not arise again. ‘6. That the resurrection is past with good men already. ‘7. That that man Jesus, that was crucified between two thieves, on mount Calvary, in the land of Canaan, by Jerusalem, was not ascended above the starry heavens. ‘8. That He should not, even the same Jesus that died by the hands of the Jews, come again at the last day; and as man, judge all nations,’ etc.
