Offers tend to glorify the creature and not God

"Offer always tend towards creature-glorying, for when you should be evangelizing, how God is rich in mercy, and how full in Grace and Power through the Lord Our Righteousness, Eph. 2:4, you begin proposing some creature-act; and so Christ is now and then brought in, by the bye, only upon the courtesy of your offers. Here his name is made to stoop to your wickedness, and to serve with your sins. Thus offers are fitted to exalt the creature, for when you should be preaching all that exalts God, in contriving, preparing, sending, and revealing Salvation by Christ, also in bestowing and conveying these truths into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, men instead of it, depart from the truth, 1 Tim. 4:1, giving heed to a seducing spirit that carries them away to glory in offer; and when offers come to town, what do they do? Alas, they evidently lessen God and greaten man in the people's eyes that are open." - Joseph Hussey, God's Operation of Grace, Pg. 193 - 194

The Simplicity of Scripture alone

The Bible alone is God's word. The Bible speaks of what content it teaches. All Scripture points to Christ alone. Peter says even the prophets testify of Christ, Acts 10:42-43. Also one can see how the apostles and deacons handled the OT in Acts 2 and 7. Not only in Acts but the Gospels as well. Jesus says if you had believed Moses, then you would had believed in Him too for Moses speaks of Christ, John 5:46. One of the very things that Christ did after he was raised from the dead was to show his disciples how the Scripture must be fulfilled and testify of Christ, Luke 24:25-27. Certainly the Bible is not complex but is simple. It is not Scripture that confuses people but the minds of men who are sinful that do so. Who can free us from such state? As the Apostle says in Romans 7 it is Christ alone.

Scripture alone reveals God's will

"Paul in this verse does not tell us how to do so, at least not explicitly. But it is clear that the epistle as a whole is the will of God. Scripture is the will of God, and nothing else, if will is taken in the sense of precept and not in the sense of decree. One popular evangelist told his audience the six, or was it the eight, steps for finding the will of God for one's life. The process was almost totally secular. True, one step was the perusal of Scripture, but the others were all something else. Now, I would not forbid a puzzled Christian from seeking wisdom from more mature Christian friends. But the wisdom must consist of a study of Scripture. All Scripture is profitable for instruction in righteousness, and by Scripture, and by Scripture alone, the man of God thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Nothing else is needed - except an intellect to understand what Scripture says." - Gordon H. Clark, Ephesians, Pg. 179

The Pagan is in Danger of Hell Fire, the Carnal Christian is not

In response to Thomas Manton who said this, quoted in Gordon H. Clarks - What is Saving Faith, "'A man may be right in opinion and judgment, but of vile affections; and a carnal Christian is in as great danger as a pagan, or idolater, or heretic. . . .'"

Clark responds, "That a carnal Christian is in as great danger as a pagan is unscriptural. No one is to be commended for his carnality. Paul berated the carnal Christians in Corinth. But though their works shall be burned up, yet they themselves shall be saved. The carnal Christian is even somewhat better off than this. Since justification inevitably process sanctification,  the most depraved sinner who is born again must improve, perhaps slowly and with much difficulty, or sometimes with the success of John Newton. The pagan is in danger of Hell fire; the carnal Christian is not. To the extent that Manton depends on this false premise, to that extent his argument is vitiated." - What is Saving Faith

Needless to say we must understand the point of 1 Corinthians 3. Joseph Hussey strikes at the point of the passage in his work against Offerings.

Joseph Hussey says, "We must preach Effectual Grace, it being most suited to further God's building. So the words are in 1 Cor. 3:9, 'ye are God's building.' To this purpose, the Holy Ghost delights much to use the word instruction, which signifies a building upon. 'Tis instructing sinners, building up their principles, as grace, life and power upon Christ, which the Holy Ghost hath first laid into their hearts by the preaching of the Gospel. An Operation of the Spirit carries on God's building; but offers of Grace, proposals, or tenders of Salvation, neither instruct nor build up God's elect in the true mysteries of Grace and Salvation. Right preaching is a building of the new-born soul upon God's foundation, Christ. For why do I preach Grace, if God does not work by Grace? Better put on sackcloth and lie in the dust, and cry, Lord, show me thy truth, and let me not go on my own errand." - God's Operation of Grace, Pg. 189

The ends and means of Reprobation

"That the decree of damnation is not executed till sin be finished which bringeth forth death, Gen. 15:16, Rom. 1:28, as we of the Supra-lapsarian side {for absolute Election and Non-Election of persons in fixing the Decree, as to Love and Hatred of the persons; and yet too of the Sub-Lapsarian side for Absolute ways and means of executing the Decree, as to Salvation and Punishments} do hold; though we are slanderously reported, Rom. 3:8, by one of the Sub-Lapsarian way, as if the Supra-lapsarian theology {in Gomarus, Voet, Piscator, Perkins, Twisse, &c.,} held, that God from Eternity sentenced the greated part of mankind to Eternal Flames not for any prescience of their future ill behavior, but because he would have it so, and to show forth his Absolute Dominion over his creatures, and to manifest his Unlimited Power. Wherein now doth this text appear to propose the notion concerning offers of Grace?" - Joseph Hussey, God's Operations of Grace, Pg. 268

It is interesting to see that Joseph Hussey distinguishes between the ends and means of election and reprobation.

Preach the Gospel unto all sinners

"Preaching of Christ does not lie in tendering but in proclaiming the glad tidings. It lies in showing, telling, and declaring, &C., the things of the Kingdom of God"- Joseph Hussey, God's Operations of Grace, pg. 91
