Cayce presents the strongest viewpoints of his people - the exposition of the doctrine of foreordination and predestination and related theories made by Primitive Baptists.
Bro. Srygley was never more keen mentally. His preparation was extensive. He was prepared for every turn and move. Mr. Cayce said all that could be said for his position. The doctrine foreordination and predestination is examined thoroughly, and none of its involved consequences was suffered to escape detection by bro. Srygley, who persisted on every occasion in reducing it to absurdity. He drove the point home that if God had unconditionally predetermined and foreordained whatsoever comes to pas, then neither censure nor praise can attach to any man's deeds or misdeeds. The virtuous person I snot to be praised for his virtue. It is simply a matter of foreordination. And the wicked man is not to be censured for his murders, for he is not to blame. Yet, men universally condemn him.
Of course bro. Srygley showed that the related doctrine of the total inability of the sinner to respond to the invitation of Jesus to come unto him had to be espoused by his opponent. The doctrine of inborn sin, or total depravity, which makes the sinner wholly helpless, unable to think a good thought or to do a good deed, once predicated, then the direct operation of the Holy Spirit upon his heart in order to his conversion is a theological consequence. This was Cayce's contention. Bro. Srygley blasted the doctrine of total inability of the sinner (through inborn sin) and set forth the contention in his affirmative that God recognizes the sinner's power of self-direction and choice. In this connection he heaped up passage upon passage, and called in vain for Cayce to deal with them.
