Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter to the Rev. Andrew A. Bonar, D.D. On a Manifesto Issued by Him on the Dods and Bruce Cases My dear Dr. Bonar, I have to thank you for sending me the "Statement by Ministers and other Office-Bearers of the Free Church, in regard to the decisions of last General Assembly in the cases of Drs. Dods and Bruce." I regret to say that I am quite unable to express that approval of the document which you invite. I think it due to you and the Church that I should state briefly some of the grounds of my inability to support the "Statement." I regret to differ from you on any point connected with the authority of that Divine Book on which you have so lived, and grown, and thriven that we all bless God alike for the purity of your character and the influence of your life. I acknowledge with pleasure that the framers of the Statement have striven not to be unnecessarily offensive, and to express themselves in as kind and brotherly terms as possible. But for substance, I am constrained to say that I count it a most uncharitable document; it makes no vestige of allowance for possible diversity of view among men loyal to the Scriptures: carried out to its proper conclusions, it would require a majority of the ministers of our Church to be subjected to discipline; and should that seem impracticable, it hints ominously at a coming disruption! I will confine my remarks to the subject of inspiration. Your personal View on that subject was expressed in the first words of your address at the Mildmay Conference this summer - "Every word of the Bible is true."
