Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Confession of Faith, of the Church of Christ in Peacham, Defended: A Sermon, Delivered at Peacham, Lord´s Day, September 14, 1817 A writer in the Panoplist, for May and June, 1816, in a communication, on the manner in which the scriptures are to be understood, endeavoured to establish the following rule, viz. "The sense, in which the various declarations of God, in the scriptures, are to be received, is the obvious sense; or that, which readily presents itself to a plain man, reading them with seriousness and integrity". To this rule, i think, there must be some exceptions; though none are made by this writer. But, as a general rule, it appears to me correct; and I cannot but think it would have had a most happy influence, among professing christians, if it had always been duly regarded, by those, who have written on the doctrines of the gospel. It has long been my settled belief, that every fundamental article of christian faith may be found expressed, in some "declaration of God in the scriptures," in perfect agreement with the general tenor of scripture instructions, as plainly as in any words dictated by man´s wisdom; and, hence, that an assent to any article, which cannot be found so expressed, should not be insisted on, as a term of christian fellowship. The confession of faith, brought into view ill the following discourse, and the defence of this confession, rest on this ground. When this confession was formed, the design was, that it should not contain any thing, which could not be plainly expressed in the very words of scripture, taken in their obvious sense.
