Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Defence of Elder William Smith, Against the Slanders of Abraham Brutis and Others: In Which Are Included Several Certificates, and the Duties of Members in the Church of Christ, in Settling Difficulties One With Another, According to the Law of God 2 Tim. 3; 6 to 8 - "For of this sort are they, which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women, laden with sins, led away with divers lusts." "Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" "Now as Janoes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth; men of corrupt minds, reprobates concerning the faith." Respected Christian Friends and Brethren, - As the subject of this text is one of a singular character, it will not be thought strange or improper I trust, if I introduce the subject of my own cause and personal abuse as a matter of interest on the present occasion. In fact, I consider that the circumstances under which I am placed, require some remarks from me, to rebut the foul aspersions and hose calumny, that has been heaped with an unsparing hand upon me. It is a fact, lamentable in the history of all ages, that infractions and divisions, more or less, have risen up in the Church of Christ; which a cursory examination of the past will prove. I shall only call your attention to a few examples, and then proceed with matters connected with my own personal interest. First. - Of infractions and divisions, and the various causes that lead to them, we will find as we trace the sacred volume, were the spirit of envy, malice, jealousy and hatred, which engenders strite and every other evil work, and where these are; there is the spirit of lying, persecution and murder, which the sequel will prove as we pursue. See Gen. 4; 3 to 16. "And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel, and to his offering: "But unto Cain, and to his offering, he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. "And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lioth at the door: And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. "And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. "And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother´s keeper? "And he said, What hast thou done?
