Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifth Letter to the Rev. William Palmer, M.A., Of Worcester College, Oxford: God Has Confided the Sacred Deposit of the Revelation of Christianity to an Infallible Authority Rev. Sir, Having been requested by several of my esteemed Protestant friends, who are earnestly seeking the Truth, to address a Fifth Letter to you, demonstratively to shew, that the sacred deposit of the Revelation of Christianity has been confided by God to an Infallible Authority; in order to comply with their earnest desire, I have to apologise for this intrusion. I shall commence, therefore, by stating, that God having revealed the Christian Religion as the means by which we are to offer him the homage which he requires of us; he must consequently have left us, I assert, some means or other by which we are to know with certainty, the Dogmas, the Precepts, and the Institutions of Jesus Christ, and which should be capable of preserving them free from any alterations which might otherwise creep into them, by the weakness and the pride of the human mind, by political motives, by the clashing of different interests, or lastly, by our passions. We are as sure that such a way must exist, as we are certain of the existence of the Divine Wisdom. But you will probably ask me, - Which is this right way; point it out to me? To this I answer, - I can conceive three different methods: - 1. A particular and immediate inspiration, by which God would enlighten all Christians in regard to his doctrine. 2. A dumb book, such as the Scriptures, in which his doctrine would be so clearly expressed, that no one could possibly be deceived.
