Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Martyr to the Truth, a Sermon: In Commemoration of the Death of Rev. Charles T. Torrey, in the Maryland Penitentiary, May 9, 1846; Delivered at Fisherville; And Also in the Baptist Meeting-House in Concord, May 31, 1846 Matt. 14; 3, 4. For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias´ sake, his brother Philip´s wife. For John said unto him, it is not lawful for thee to have her. Ever since the fall of man, there has been a conflict between the serpent and the seed of the woman. The warfare has been constant and sometimes severe. The great antagonist principles, are truth and error. The conflict is a moral one, and recognizes the outward act and the inward emotions of the heart. In every age of the world, God has raised up and employed faithful witnesses to testify to the truth and defend his cause. Against these opposition has been raised; individuals have contended, and, not unfrequently, civil authority has been employed to overcome and destroy. - A faithful, plain and practical exhibition of the truth, is what the world has never been willing to receive in a candid and peaceful manner. Light is no more opposed to darkness, than is truth to error - or the will of God, to the inclinations of the natural heart. Consequently, when these come in contact, opposition is manifested. From the time of righteous Abel to the present, the faithful servants of God have fallen on the battle ground - shed their blood in the struggle and yielded their lives in the conflict. The Old Testament history goes to confirm this statement the - prophets, embassadors for God and truth, were opposed, persecuted, imprisoned and put to death. In consequence of their plainness and integrity, though men of God, and singularly meek and pious, they became the objects of hate and the most embittered opposition. On opening the New Testament, we find recorded the martyrdom of the first minister of the gospel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
