Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Theology, Vol. 1 of 2: In a Series of Sermons, in the Order of the Westminster Shorter Catechism The doctrine which lies at the foundation of all religion, whether natural or revealed, is the Being of a God. This doctrine is, in our text, denied by the fool, as the Psalmist styles him. A fool is one, who acts as if he did not possess reason. This appellation is appropriately given to the Atheist; for he contradicts the plainest dictates of reason, when he makes the assertion, "there is no God." On this passage, one has justly observed, "none but a fool would have made such an assertion." Although there have been some in our world, so foolish and presumptuous, as to advance the sentiment, "there is no God;" and avow their belief in it; yet, it is questionable, whether there is, or ever has been, such a human being as a real Atheist in principle. Many doubtless have wished there was no God. And our text seems rather to express the desire, than the belief of the fool. The literal translation of our text from the original is, "the fool hath said in his heart, no God." But whatever the wishes of depraved men may be, it is at least doubtful, whether any one has been able to attain to a belief, excluding all doubt, that there is no God. A real Atheist in principle, if there be such a being, is blind, through the exceeding wickedness of his heart, to the plainest dictates of reason and common sense; an enemy to the happiness of mankind; and merits universal execration. And indeed, in some nations, the avowal of atheistical principles has been so execrated as to be punished with death. Is there God?
