Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Original and Present State of Man, Briefly Considered: Wherein Is Shown the Nature of His Fall, and the Necessity, Means, and Manner of His Restoration, Through the Sacrifice of Christ, and the Sensible Operation of That Divine Principle of Grace and Truth, Held Forth to the World In the year 1767, a person, with a view to disseminate his favourite notions of unconditional election and reprobation, having advanced many sentiments repugnant to the doctrines of Grace and Truth extended for the salvation of mankind universally; and having made an attack upon the Society of Friends for holding those Christian principles of the "necessity, universality, and real sensibility of the work of God´ Holy Spirit upon the immortal soul of man, as the vital source of true religion in him, and therefore the primary guide of his life and conduct;" it induced our friend Joseph Phipps, from a sense of duty, to appear in print as an advocate for "that Divine principle vouchsafed by a gracious Creator, through a beneficent Redeemer," to all his rational creatures; and also to defend the Society from unjust imputations attempted to be cast upon it. The first nine chapters are designed to show the verity of our leading principles - the remaining allude to opinions contained in the Treatise of the Opponent; but the controversial parts being omitted, the exposition of Gospel truths in those chapters is very interesting, clearly illustrative of genuine Christianity, and in unison with the whole design of the work.
