Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address to the Ministers, Elders, and Members, of the Presbyterian Church, in the United States At a meeting of those Members of the last General Assembly, who had voted in favour of the resolution introduced by Dr. Miller, condemning the errors contained in Barnes´ Notes on the Romans, held at Pittsburgh, in May, 1836, agreeably to a call through the Moderator, the undersigned were appointed a Committee to prepare and circulate a suitable publication on the state of the Church, and particularly on the two great subjects which had occupied the attention of the Assembly, viz: the Barnes´ Case, and the Foreign Missionary Question. In accordance with our appointment, as well as from a personal conviction of duty, and, we trust, under a proper sense of our high responsibility, we respectfully present the following publication to the candid, serious, and prayerful consideration of the Ministers, Elders, and Members of the Presbyterian Church, in these United States. As introductory to our remarks on the topics to which we shall more especially direct your attention, we beg you to indulge us in two or three general observations; and we observe, in the 1st place, that the prosperity of the Church, and her efficiency in securing the great objects of her institution, depend, under God, on the purity of her faith. The Divine glory can be promoted, and the souls of men saved, only through the knowledge and obedience of the truth; Scriptural views of the perfections of Jehovah; of our own condition and character by nature; and of the way of life through Jesus Christ, lie at the foundation of all true religion; and hence the many solemn injunctions laid upon the Ambassadors of the Saviour to preach the truth; to declare the whole counsel of God, whether men will hear or whether they will forbear. Indeed, if these positions be not correct, and if it be a matter of no moment, what are principles men hold, and the views they entertain, it may well be questioned, wherefore God should have given us a revelation of his will at all - why reveal truth, if it is not necessary that it should be embraces?
