Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Illustration of Some Difficult Passages of Scripture, on the Doctrine of Absolute Predestination: Attempted in a Sermon; Published by Request of Many Hearers In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will. God, the Creator, gives and continues the powers of natural and moral action to his creatures. In his providential government of the natural and moral world, some actions and events are ordered and executed by his immediate influence; some take place according to the established laws of nature; and some are suffered - that is, are not prevented. All actions and events under the providential government of the world are, in this scripture sense of the words, ascribed to the divine agency: so the Lord smote the first born of Egypt, took away the substance of Job, suffered the demons to enter into the swine, and all nations to walk in their own ways. God, the only wise, cannot err: God, the impartial Judge of all the earth, must, from necessity, do right. Far from our thought, therefore, be every idea of arbitrary sovereignty exercised by despotic men, when we consider the government of the all perfect God, working all things after the counsel of his own will. To be misled, or to mislead others, on this subject is awfully hazardous. We tread on holy ground. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
