Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Nathanael Emmons, D.D, Vol. 4: Pastor of the Church in Franklin, Mass, With a Memoir of His Life For every house is builded by some man; but lie that built all things is God. - Heb. iii. 4. It is not the intention of the apostle in these words to prove the existence of the Deity, but only to suggest the most easy and proper way of attaining the certain knowledge of this great and fundamental truth. His words, taken in this view, naturally introduce the object of the following discourse, which is to exhibit the evidence of the being and perfections of God. Agreeably, therefore, to the spirit of the text, and the design proposed, it may be proper to proceed gradually, and observe, I. This world might have had a beginning. There is nothing absurd in this supposition. We can easily conceive that there was a time when the heavens and earth did not ∃ and consequently that there was a time when they first came into existence. The fashion of this world passes away, and mutability is stamped upon every object with which we are acquainted. The winds, and clouds, and seas, and the whole material system, are in continual motion. The varying seasons are constantly varying the face of the earth, and giving new forms and appearances to all the objects around us. One generation of mankind follows another; and whilst one is coming on, another is going off the stage of life. The numerous species of animals come and go, in a manner equally regular and rapid. The fruits of the earth spontaneously and successively spring up, come to maturity, flourish, fade and die.
