Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Divine Purpose: Displayed in the Works of Providence and Grace; In a Series of Twenty Letters, Addressed to an Inquiring Friend Dear Sir, - Your letter has been received, in which you request my opinion on various religious topics, for the purpose of aiding you in forming a correct decision respecting that denomination of Christians, with which it would he most expedient to connect yourself, I will endeavor to appreciate, but not abuse the opinion you are pleased to express respecting my candor and my ability for the performance of such a task. I feel encouraged in this undertaking by the serious intention you express of connecting yourself If with that denomination, which, after due deliberation and prayer, shall appear to you, most conformable to the sacred scripture, in its doctrines and form of government. When a person is already determined, it is absurd to ask, and vain to offer advice. It is my duty and my pleasure to explain publicly, and from house to house, that system of doctrines, held by the church to which I belong. If it pleases God to render these instructions effectual in awakening the careless, in directing the serious inquirer, or in confirming the believer, to his name be. the praise. But I sincerely pray, that God, in his mercy, may preserve me from that party spirit which would lead me to view it as a primary object to make proselytes. Indeed the man who cherishes party spirit is worthy of compassion, it suffering can render him such: for he must feel no ordinary degree of torture, on whose vitals such a vulture is continually preying. When this spirit takes full possession of the heart, like the jaundiced eye, it will pervert, distort, or misrepresent every object presented to the mind. The importance of every measure will be calculated according to its tendency to answer this paramount purpose of adding names to the catalogue of his party. Every feeling of the soul must bow to this sectarian spirit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
