Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Universalist, Vol. 1 And, so far from proposing to ourselves another addition to those ecclesiastical bodies, of which, as such, the New Testament knows nothing whatever, and to which we believe the Scriptures to be opposed, we have been anxious, and take this opportunity seriously to protest, against any such design. And it is a satisfaction to us to know, that, among our contributors and subscribers, there are members of various communities - Christians of different denominations. Our great object is sufficiently made known in the pages of the volume which we now have the pleasure to present to our readers. And we verily believe, that the errors which we oppose are as much the cause and fuel of those divisions which disgrace the Christian world, as the truths for which it is our privilege to contend are antagonistic to the spirit of sectarianism and party. We do not say that all differences of opinion must vanish upon a reception of the doctrine of Universalism; but we do hold that, while those differences may, nay must be materially lessoned, they will not, because they will have no power to diminish that charity which, linked to the throne of the Eternal, embraces all into whom God has "breathed the breath of life." If Universalists, however, because they are Universalists, are to be cast out of the synagogue, as has been the case in instances which have come to our knowledge, their opponents must not charge them with sectarianism, if they meet together for mutual edification, and the worship of the great Father of all. We have been accused of the undignified procedure of giving "nicknames," because we have sometimes used the term "Partialist" in contradistinction to Universalist. We can sincerely say that we never intended any disrespect towards those from whom we differed; and that the use of the term has been resorted to as a simple matter of convenience; just as the designation we have given ourselves best expresses the sentiment which we advocate. It is the regular converse suggested by avowed opposition; and was in use, moreover, long before we adopted it. We cannot allow this opportunity to pass without congratulating our friends and ourselves upon the present position and cheering prospects of The Universalist. Considering the fewness of those who openly defend Universalism - the difficulty of securing publicity for a new periodical, - the few facilities at our command for obtaining an extensive circulation - the opposition with which we have had to contend - our best wishes and largest expectations have been more than realized.
