THE MEANING OF LIBERTY
AND THE MESSAGE OF REMEDY
REMEDY IS -
AND VICTORY GOES WITH IT
Rev. Dr. Robert E. Donaldson

PREFACE
Remedy in the domain of man is for sin
selfishness, squalor, suffering,
seediness, silliness,
seduction, servitude,
slavery, subtlety in subversion,
spawn of violence, vileness and viciousness,
species of pride, vanity, degradation, depravity,
socialistic superficiality, splendiferous without spiritual link to the Author,
communistic contempt of truth, pragmatically pursuing unscientific squalor,
spiritual self-aggrandisement, delusion and death,
severity of judgment
certitude of hell
severance
of peace, meaning, mastery, manhood, womanhood and childhood
from virtue,of joy that is inherent, of self-control, certainty,
from the race,
indeed from the entire domain of mankind.
The problem is human,
The solution is divine;
just as the creation was divine,
and the desecration was human.
Now that desecration is systematic
as is the restitution available in
the remedy.
The remedy is as old as man,
as new as AD, in the year of our Lord,
as contemporaneous as the presence of the Spirit of God
in each new child of God.
Man is personal
(cf. It Bubbles... Ch. 9, Little Things Ch. 5, Overflight in Christ 1),and so is the remedy.
Liberty can opt for slavery,
while love appointed the service that remedy is.
The liberty is human,
the love is divine.
This work involves a collection, which may at times be amplified significantly or revised a little for our present purpose, with such additions as seem best, of many treatments of this topic, in this way and in that, which have occurred in the 85 volumes currently written for the series, IN PRAISE OF CHRIST JESUS, a biblical Christian Apologetic which not merely defends the truth, but shows that there both is and can be no other. Truth like life, is what it is.
You can talk a lot; but you won't change it.
You can do a lot; but you won't change it.
It continues unchanged over the millenia, self-attesting by its single and singular validity, its empirical triumphs and its unaltering ability, nay facility in dealing with all topics at all times. Given by God, it neither removes the need of human thought, nor fails to be its only rational basis.
Note that all chapters may vary considerably from their originals, by addition or revision to meet our present purpose. Nevertheless, the essential character of each remains. Occasionally excerpts are given.
