THE HISTORY OF THE CORRUPTIONS. o F CHRISTIANITY. PART IV. *she History of Opinions relating to Saints and Angels. INTRODUCTION. TH E idolatry of the christian church began with the deification and proper worship of Jesus Christ, but it was far from ending with it. For, from similar causes, christians were soon led to pay an undue respect to men of eminent worth and sanctity, which at length terminated in as proper a worship of them, as that which the heathens had paid to their heroes and demigods, addressing prayer to them, in the fame manner, as to the supreme being himself. The same undue veneration led them also to a superstitious superstitious respect for their relics, the places where they had lived, their pictures and images, and indeed every thing that had borne a near relation to them; so that at length, not only were those persons whom they termed faints, the objects of their worship, but also their relics and images; and neither with respect to the external forms, nor, as far as we can perceive, their internal sentiments, were christians to be at all distinguished from those who .bowed down to wood and stone in the times of paganism. That this is a most horrid corruption of genuine Christianity I shall take for granted, there being no trace of any such practice, or of any principle that could lead to it, in the scriptures; but it may be useful to trace the causes and the progress of it, from the earliest ages of the christian church to the present time. And in order to do it as distinctly as possible, I shall divide the history of all the time preceding the reformation into two periods; the former extending to the fall of the western empire, or a little beyond the time of Austin, and the latter to the reformation itself; and...

Download or read book History of Christianity written by Paul Johnson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.

THE HISTORY OF THE CORRUPTIONS OF CHRISTIANITY. PART I. THE HISTORY OF OPINIONS RELATING TO JESUS CHRIST. THE INTRODUCTION. The Unity of God is a doctrine on which the greatest stress is laid in the whole system of revelation.* To guard * " Those passages in the New Testament in which the Father is styled one, or only God, are in number 17. "Those passages where he is styled God absolutely, by way of eminence and supremacy, are in number 320. "Those passages where he is styled God, with peculiarly. high titles and epithets, or attributes, are in number 105. "Those passages wherein it is declared that all prayers and praises ought to be offered to him, and that every thing ought to be ultimately directed to his honor and glory, are in number 90. "Passages wherein the Son is declared, positively, and by the clearest implication, to be subordinate to the Father, deriving his being from him, receiving from him his Divine power, and acting in all things wholly according to the will of the Father, are in number above 300. "Of 1300 passages in the New Testament wherein the word God is mentioned, not one of them necessarily implies a plurality of persons. "To which may be added about 2000 in the Old Testament, in which the Unity of God is either positively expressed or evidently implied."--Grundy's Lectures, quoted in a note in Bur., nap's Lectures on Unitarianism, p. 38. this most important article was the principal object of the Jewish religion; and, notwithstanding the proneness of the Jews to idolatry, at length it fully answered its purpose, in reclaiming them, and in impressing the minds of many persons of other nations in favor of the same fundamental truth. The Jews were taught by their prophets to expect a Messiah, who was...

Appeals were made to the emperors against the injustice of the synods. They received them, and appointed such bishops to hear and try the causes, as happened to be about the court. The emperors called several councils, they even set in them, and confirmed their decrees. This was the constant practice of the Roman emperors, both in the East and in the West; and when the empire was divided into many lesser sovereignties, those petty princes continued to act the fame part. Though the regulations established by the clergy were numerous in the time of Constantine, they contained nothing that could justly excite the jealousy of the emperors; because it was then univerfally agreed, that the emperors ought to regulate the ecclesiastical discipline. One book of the Theodosian code is wholly employed on regulations respecting the persons and goods of ecclesiastics. Anecdotes, p. 99. A kind of ecclesiastical power was also allowed to many rich laymen, as, in many cafes, they had the appointment of the bishops; at least they could not be appointed without their consent. This right of Patronage was introduced in the fourth century, to encourage the opulent to erect a number of churches; which they were the more induced to do, by having the power of appointing the ministers who were to officiate in them. And it was an old heathen opinion, that nations and provinces were happy, and free from danger, in proportion to the number of the temples they contained. As it was deemed inconsistent with the clerical character to have any secular concerns, so in this age this idea, together with that of the greater purity of the unmarried state, made it to be thought not quite proper for the clergy to have wives and families, lest their thoughts should be...
