Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Communicant´s Companion: Or Instructions for the Right Receiving of the Lord´s Supper There is an important, though often an overlooked difference between the results of human ingenuity, as embodied in the principles of science and the institutions of civil society, and the results of divine wisdom, as embodied in the doctrines of revelation and the ordinances of the Christian church. Human science is the offspring of the observations and experiments of beings limited in their faculties, and liable to error, and admits, from this very circumstance, of constant growth, frequent correction, and indefinite improvement. The principles of natural philosophy are much better understood at present, not only than they were, but than they could have been an hundred years ago; and it is highly probable, that, before the end of another century, they will be still better understood than they are at present: but, as the most finished work of the human mind is necessarily imperfect, there will always be room for the correction of mistakes, and the supply of deficiencies. It is altogether otherwise with the doctrines of Revelation. They flow forth absolutely pure from the fountain of knowledge and of truth. They are an infallible statement of a portion of the mind of him who alone hath wisdom. Human science is like the statue, which, under the successive strokes of the artist´s chisel, from a rude unformed block, gradually assumes a striking resemblance to "the human form divine." Revealed truth is like our general parent, rising at once into perfect form, and beauty, and life, at the command of his Creator.
