Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rules of Discipline of the Religious Society of Friends: With Advices: Being Extracts From the Minutes and Epistles of Their Yearly Meeting, Held in London, From Its First Institution The Yearly Meeting having been apprehensive that, in some quarterly and monthly meetings, due care hath not been taken to preserve, and enter regularly in the books kept for that purpose, those minutes and advices which from its first institution have occasionally been communicated to them, for establishing and conducting the discipline of the church, hath seen meet to direct that those minutes and advices should be carefully extracted and properly arranged under suitable heads, and be comprised in one volume, for the general service of the society. This important work having been committed to the care of the meeting for sufferings, it was with much labour and great attention performed, and was laid before the yearly meeting in 1781; when a considerable number of judicious friends then present were appointed to come up to London in the Tenth month ensuing, to join the meeting for sufferings in examining the same: most of whom, in conjunction with that meeting, met accordingly, and having given their attendance with unremitting assiduity, in much concord and to mutual satisfaction, were favoured after many sittings to go through the work, comparing every part with the original records; and the whole, as contained in the following pages, was agreed to by the yearly meeting in 1782, and directed to be printed: in order that, First. Every quarterly and monthly meeting may be furnished with a complete and correct collection of the several minutes and advices issued by the yearly meeting for regulating the affairs of the society. Secondly. That these minutes and advices, being more generally made known, may be more uniformly observed and put in practice; that order, unity, peace, and harmony may be preserved throughout the churches.

Download or read book The Distinguishing Doctrines of the Religious Society of Friends written by James Wood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Distinguishing Doctrines of the Religious Society of Friends: A Lecture Delivered at Twelfth Street Meeting House Philadelphia, I Mo. 24th, 1898 As members of the Religious Society of Friends, we should approach the consideration of our distinguishing doctrines with sentiments of deep regard for all our brethren in Christ who belong to other denominations and whose doc trinal views vary from our own. Toward them we should ever entertain that feeling of Christian love which is kind, which vaunteth not itself and which thinketh no evil. Indeed, the very name of our denomination should constantly remind of this, because it implies a recognition of other branches of the church that is unique, and is remarkable for the breadth of its liberality. The name Friends was chosen in recognition of the declaration of our Lord, Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you and itfurther recognizes the relations that should exist between those of the same household of faith. This word stands for the teaching of the two great commandments. The term Society was chosen because it was recognized that the word church stood for all true believers of every name who belong to Christ's Kingdom on the earth, and that no branch of that church has any right to assume for itself a name that implies, in any way, the exclusion, or the want of recogni tion of others. The founders of the Society of Friends in the selection of its name manifested a breadth of consideration, and a liberal regard for others, that stand without a precedent in the history of the church. Before speaking of our distinguishing doc trines it may be well to refer to the historic fact that there was a development of doctrine in the progress of the Protestant Reformation in Eng land that was unlike anything that occurred in any of the continental countries. In the latter, there was a definite time when the old doctrines and practices were rejected and the new were embraced. There was no such time in England. The passage by Parliament of the Act of the Royal Supremacy was merely a substitution of the authority of the king for that of the Pope. It in no wise touched the Catholic doctrines. Henry VIII. Lived and died in the Roman faith. During the reign of Edward VI. Considerable progress in the Reformed faith was made. This was checked and much of it lost during the reign of Mary, and was very cautiously revived and advanced under Elizabeth and James, but during all that period the advances were but different degrees of compromise with Rome. The true understanding of this requires some definite test as to what is the fundamental difierence between Catholicism and Protestantism. The formula of Schleiermacher is generally accepted by both sides as a correct statement of this. Catholicism makes the believer's relation to Christ depend upon his relation to the church; Protestantism makes the believer's relation to the church depend upon his relation to Christ. It follows from this that if the believer's relation to Christ is made, in any degree, dependent upon his observance of any ordinance or ceremony of the church, or upon anyexercise of sacerdotal authority by its priests or ministers, in so far, the fundamental principle of Protestantism is violated and the principle of Catholicism is maintained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of God That the kingdom of God or of heaven proclaimed by Jesus is a fellowship of men, appears not only from the natural import of the word kingdom, but from such expressions as, least in the kingdom, great in the kingdom (matt. V. 19, xviii. Of such is the kingdom, he shall in no wise enter therein (mark x. I4, I etc. That in it the highest morality is obeyed, is clear from the Sermon on the Mount (matt. V. - vii. Luke Vi. 20 - 42) and the whole tenor of our Lord's teaching; and that it is done as the will of God, appears from the phrase kingdom, which often means reign, of its being joined in the Lord's Prayer with the doing of His will (matt. Vi. And from the many parables in which God is represented as a King, a Master, a Householder, a Shepherd, a Father, a Judge (matt. Xx. 1, xxii. 2, XXV. I4, 34; Luke xv. 4, II, xvii. 7, Finally, it is plain that it includes the highest blessedness since it is to be sought as the chief good (matt. Vi. 33 Luke xii. 32) is com pared to a treasure, or pearl of great price (matt. Xiii. 44 and is the final reward of the righteous (matt. Xiii. 43, xxv.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Doctrine: A Series of Discourses But I had never attempted to deliver a series of discourses expounding, in an orderly and systematic manner, all the principal doctrines of the Christian Faith. In the sermons which are collected in this volume I have, at last, made the attempt. They have been delivered during the last twelve months. When I had written them, I found that several of them were so long that they would impose an undue strain on the attention of the congregation, and I therefore, in one or two cases, gave a brief summary of an extended argument, and, in other cases, omitted a whole section. But so far from finding that a congregation will not 'stand doctrinal sermons, my experience is that such sermons, if of moderate length, are of great interest to large numbers of Christian people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith of the Gospel: A Manual of Christian Doctrine This history of the origin of the present book will explain its form. While attempting to go with fair thoroughness into the various questions raised, it does not profess to deal with them exhaustively, as a book written for the learned would. It assumes little in the reader besides an average English education and a devout mind. Recondite theological language is avoided. Terms are explained as they occur. It is hoped, therefore, that'the book may prove useful, not only to Teachers of the Divine Mysteries at the beginning of their studies, but to many private Chris tians also, who wish to have an intelligent grasp of their faith.

Download or read book The Christian Doctrine of Faith written by James Hastings and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is not a theological trestise on the one hand, nor on the other is it a volume of sermons. Like its predecessor, the volume on Prayer, it has a distinct office to fulfill, an office that in the judgment of the editor is of immense importance. For between and the professor's lecture-room and the preacher's study there is a great gulf fixed. In the lecture-room the lectures on systematic theology are laboriously entered into notebooks, which are useful for the exit examinations. But when the active work of the ministry begins and so many sermons have to be prepared every week, the cupboard into which those notebooks have been stowed away is left undisturbed. The preacher begins to spin his sermons out of his own brains, with the assistance of such popular books as happen to be at his hand." -- From the Preface

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of God, Vol. 1: Dogmatics Dogmatics is not the Word of God. God can make His Word prevail in the world without theology. But at a time when human thought is so often confused and perverted by fantastic ideas and theories, spun out of men's own minds, it is evident that it is almost impossible to preserve the Divine Word with out the most passionate intellectual effort to te-think its mean ing and its content. The simple Christian may, it is true, under stand and preserve God's Word without theology; but for those Christians who are involved in the thinking of their own day, and who, as children of their own day, are deeply influenced by these currents of thought, an all-inclusive and thorough effort to re-think what has been given' 'to faith ls absolutely indis pensable. This is particularly true for those whose calling it is to proclaim this faith to others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
