Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures in Divinity, Vol. 2 The Gospel proceeds upon the supposition that all have sinned. It assumes the character of the religion of sinners and professes to bring a remedy for the moral evil which exists in the world. Our attention is thus called back from the remedy to the disease; for we cannot entertain just apprehensions of the nature of that provision which the Gospel has made, unless we understand the circumstances which called for that provision; and we may expect that those who have formed different systems with regard to the nature of the remedy, are not of the same opinion with regard to the disease. In one point, however, all sects of Christians agree that there is much sin in the world. The Socinian does not hesitate to say with the Calvinist, that all have sinned; and those fanatics who conceived that they themselves had attained the perfection of virtue, were led, by this self-conceit, to magnify the wickedness of the rest of mankind. That men are sinners is a point concerning which those who respect the authority of Scripture cannot entertain any doubt; for it is uniformly taught there from the period preceding the flood, when, as we read, "God saw that the wickedness of man was great." At the appearance of Christianity, the angel gave to the Son of Mary the name of Jesus, ´for he shall save his people from their sins."
