Those who deny His eternal existence and Godhead, and the union of the Divine and human natures in His one person. 2. Those who deny the reality of His human nature. 3. Those who deny Him as Priest, and reject as irrational His expiatory sacrifice. 4. Those who deny Him as King and Judge, who scoff at His personal advent and reign on earth (2 Peter 3), or who ridicule His solemn warnings as to the punishment of the wicked. (J. T. Demarest, D. D.)
