In the New Testament the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ, represents the situation thus The way that leads to life is straight, the gate narrowfew be they who find itnow, on the contrary, to speak only of Denmark, we are all Christians, the way is as broad as it possibly can be, the broadest in Denmark, since it is the way in which we all are walking, besides being in all respects as convenient, as comfortable, as possible and the gate is as wide as it possibly can be, wider surely a gate cannot be than that through which we all are going en masse.... Ergo the New Testament is no longer truth.

To despair over one's sins indicates that sin has become or wants to be internally consistent. It wants nothing to do with the good, does not want to be so weak as to listen occasionally to other talk. No, it insists on listening only to itself, on having dealings only with itself it closes itself up within itself, indeed, locks itself inside one more inclosure, and protects itself against every attack or pursuit by the good by despairing over sin.
