We should reject all unworthy thoughts of God with indignation and detestation.
The Apostle showed a spirit full of this fire (Rom. 3.5, 6.) Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) that is, natural or carnal men are apt to think so, but God forbid, or, let it not be once named by those who name (that is, profess) the name of God. If every one who nameth the name of Christ must depart from iniquity (2 Tim. 2.19.) woe to those who say that Christ himself closeth with any iniquity. As God himself puts all evil far from him, so should we put the least thought of it far from God. What can be more unjust then to have so much as the shadow of a thought that God doth any injustice! away with such blasphemous suggestions, can he who is the very rule of righteousness do unrighteously? To throw this dirt into the face of God hath as much absurdity and irrationality as blasphemy in it. None but they who know not God, can have such apprehensions of him. To do wickedness is far from God, and therefore let man be far, even as far as the east is from the west, from saying or thinking that he doth any. Far be it from God That he should do wickedness.
