Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gospel of the Typical Servitude: The Substance of a Sermon Preached in Greenfield, Jan; 1, 1834 The Koran, which Mahomet gave his followers abounds with immoralities and palpable contradictions. They account for it by saying that their prophet recorded his revelations just as they were brought to him by the angel Gabriel, that they were imparted to him at different times, during the course of twenty three years; and that in the intervals, the Almighty so frequently changed his mind, that one revelation contradicts another. This convenient story is perfectly satisfactory to Mussehnen. But all Christendom consider it sufficient grounds for pronouncing their prophet, before heaven and earth, a convicted imposter. It is mortifying to be told that in the Christian church there are thousands, including some of our most distinguished theologians, who give no better account of the word of God. They assert that principles and practices are inculcated in the old Testament which are at war with the morality of the new. They contend, particularly, that the law of Moses licensed a system of servitude opposed to the requirements of the moral law, and inconsistent with the heavenly spirit of the Gospel. And they apologise for it by saying that Moses and the Apostles were inspired under different dispensations!! It was the utterance of a sentiment not more revolting to a pious mind, which moved Hezekiah to send to Isaiah the son of Amos, a deputation of the Elders of Israel clothed in sackcloth, saying this is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of blasphemy. Apart from all concern for the enslaved African, the emancipation of our churches from the dominion of the slave holding spirit is a matter of unspeakable importance. If we do not wish to see the rising generation grow up a race of infidels, their minds, must be disabused in regard to this matter. We must shew them that those passages which have been quoted as proofs that the morality of the bible is corrupt, and contradictory, have been grossly misunderstood. They must see that in every page of his word, God shines forth in the same glorious character; and that in every age of the world he has required of his people substantially the same faith, end the same holiness. We have another inducement to study diligently the law of Moses. The writers of the New Testament direct all their readers to that law for clear and comprehensive views of the terms by which they express the offices, and blessings of Messiah.
