Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities." — Job 22:5 (ASV)

Is not thy wickedness great? —This was mere conjecture and surmise, arising simply from a false assumption: namely, that a just God can only punish the wicked, and that therefore those must be wicked whom He punishes.
