Exodus 20:25-26, “And if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for if you use your tool on it, you have profaned it. Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.”
God's altar was to be
built of unhewn stones, so that no trace of human skill or labor would be
applied to it. Human wisdom wants to arrange the gospel into a system, a
religion that is more congenial to the corrupt fallen nature, but instead of
“improving” the message, carnal wisdom pollutes it until it becomes “another
gospel.”
