Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man and the Bible in the Light of Reason To undertake any proof of this proposition would be as foolish as for one to attempt, by argument, to prove his own existence to another who holds him by the hand and looks him in the face. Whatever may be said or claimed for the lower animals, on this point, certainly we are not in error when we assert that man has reason. It is sometimes said, and said as if designed to rebut the claim that man has reason, that the lower animals have reason. Allowing this to be.

Download or read book The Rational Test written by Leander S. Keyser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rational Test: Bible Doctrine in the Light of Reason To show that certain fundamental biblical doc trines, as held by orthodox believers, are reasonable that is the chief purpose of this volume. The author's position is that reason should not be placed above the Bible; that is rationalism. Very often the proper attitude of the human mind before God's truth is, Believing where we cannot prove. It is not ir rational that it should be so, for in many of the coma monest affairs of life We must Often walk by faith, and not by sightIt is incorrect to think that faith and reason are opposed to each other. This error springs from the supposition that faith and credulity are synonymous terms. So far from this being true, it is an undisputed fact that many of the wisest and best men of the world possess the most childlike faith in Christ and His revelation. Superior knowledge makes a man con scious of the limitations of human learning, and, there fore, leads to humble trust and a childlike disposition. Whether faith is rational or not depends upon its Object. Faith in that which is true and right is a most rational act of the soul blindly to accept error is credulity, and is, therefore, irrational.

Download or read book The Bible in the Light of Nature of Man and of God Vol 1 written by Alexander Chisholm and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible in the Light of Nature, of Man, and of God, Vol. 1: Also in Its Essential Relations to the Religions of the World The Bible is constructed like the subjects whereof it speaks. These are God, Nature, Man, God. God is first and last and, throughout, All in all. It is a Revelation and Representation of these, or of the absolute appearing in the relative, of the Divine Being in His self-manifestations. It comes forth from the Spirit All Father-Son as nature and man do; and has its Plenary Inspiration and Infallibility from and in the Spirit. Its holy men of old speak as they are moved by the Spirit. It is thus also fitted for its purposes, as to the all-man all-world, and as to God in both (2 Tim. iii. 14-17). The writer can truthfully and thankfully say that he got more of real instruction and true knowledge, in early life, from his godly parents, Alexander Chisholm and Marjory Fraser, than he ever yet got through all other means put together. It is his decided duty and great pleasure to add that the members of the family, Hugh, a girl who died in infancy, John, Margaret, Duncan, Mary, and he (the youngest), were of incalculable help to each other in receiving and mutually imparting the same. The religious Authors who have exercised formative influence on his mind are Thomas Boston (Fourfold State), Bishop Butler (Analogy), and Dr John Owen, Prince of Expositors. How he came to see the essential structure of the Bible is too mysterious and delicate here to describe; and may be equally unnecessary for the Reader to know. He is eagerly anxious that lie and the people should come as much as possible to know the Bible in all that it is and speaks of, as understood and written by the sacred writers themselves; each to know his God and his duty, to know God and Jesus Christ whom He hath sent, which is everlasting life.

Download or read book The Bible Doctrine of Man written by John Laidlaw and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible Doctrine of Man: Or the Anthropology and Psychology of Scripture The aim is to present in one view the Bible Theology and Philosophy of Man and his Nature. What is claimed for this endeavour, in the specific department of Biblical Psychology, is to have called attention to the distinction which the Bible attributes to spirit, as the highest element in man's constitution, and on the possession of which is grounded its unique doctrine of man's likeness to his Maker. It also claims to be a consistent exposi tion of the relations of soul and spirit in man. Rejecting as unscriptural and unsupported by reason the notion which founds upon the Bible use of these terms a Tripartite Theory of man's nature, cause is yet shown why the neglect of that usage, as a meaningless parallelism, must yield to accurate exegesis and historic fact. These two discussions specially exemplify that which it is the object of the whole treatise to maintain, namely, that a study of the psychological ideas of Scrip ture throws valuable sidelights on its doctrinal teaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essence of Reason See Rev. 21 chapter, and 8 verse. For further proof about such a place turn to Rev. 19 chap., and 20 verse, and many other places in the Bible. Hellfire, brimstone, and the devils are mentioned. Such tales of love and vice, were distilled into my young mind at home, and in the church as well. Just think, what poor children are taught to believe. No matter how unreasonable the Bible may appear to y, ou you must believe. No matter how impossible the miracles may seem, you must believe. N o matter how cruel the laws your heart must approve of them all. This is what the Church calls liberty of thought. W here is the evidence that Christ was, and is God? Who can. Furnish the evidence that there is a God that made all things from nothing Where is the evidence that the places called Heaven and Hell exist There is none. Where is the evidence that angels, ghosts, devils and gods ex ist? There is none. Have those beings been seen or touched Do any of our senses certify to their existence? No. We now know that Heaven is not just above the clouds, and that Hell is not just below the earth. The telescope has done away with the ancient Heaven, and the revolving world has quenched the flames of the ancient Hell. Those imaginary worlds have disappeared for good. Since I received the new search light of rea son I applied it to the Bible, to see if it would stand inspection on what I was taught by my parents, and by preachers of the Gospel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plain Man and His Bible It is in the Bible that we get the history Of man's moral condition. From the, study of science we can get a history of most Of the important mat ters Of life, but while we are doing this we are constantly reminded Of the fact that nowhere out side the Bible can we get the history of man's moral condition. Nature gives us no help. The earth itself is silent. The stars above us only con fuse us. Everything is dumb in answer to the question What is man? However, the Bible comes with the answer. It tells us that God made man in his own image. It tells us of man's fall. It tells us how the fall came about. It tells us that in the beginning God was pleased with man; they were together - God and man; that man turned away from God, and in this turning plunged the race into sin. The Bible is the only book which gives our origin and dis sects our present moral condition, and also points out the way of triumph.

Download or read book The New Version Classic Reprint written by George Chainey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Version To their unsophisticated minds, this busi ness is seen in a far different light than by ambitious theologians desirous of increasing their income and glory by a place on the translators' staff. Hitherto, they have really believed the Bible from the first verse in Genesis to the last in Revelations. They supposed that God was the author. The idea that he had left the proof-reading to fallible man had never entered their heads. But now every one is familiar with the fact that there are thousands of different read ings that can only be settled by majority vote. They cannot but reflect that, if these men can change it to-day, other men may do so again to - morrow. On finding what were to them some of the sublime passages left out, they. Will naturally ask themselves, If man composed these, why may he not lie the author of it all? The Bible in many a house, regarded in the light of a fetich, will lose much of its sacred character when the revealing light of the new version falls on it. This new version will also set thousands of people to reading the Bible. The reason why many think so much of this book is because they never read it. They have imagined that all the good, true, and beautiful things the ministers find in it are really there. By reading it for themselves, they will discover the deception. I think that, if any one would read the Bible for the purpose of deciding the ques tion of its divinity, they would find a ver dict against it long before reaching the New Testament. The Catholic Church obeys the law of self-preservation by withholding the Bible from the laity. The Pope knows better than to countenance a new version. The friends of humanity can congratulate them selves that Protestantism likes the taste of the poison that will destroy it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Man Thinking men in all ages and in all lands have been greatly puzzled about the origin of things. Even among the most savage tribes the teachers hold some theory of the creation of the universe. How did it come into being? Did the earth and the heavens always exist in their present form? Did they develop out of something else, and, if so, from whence did that something else arise? Whence came man? There are some who say that for man to try to contemplate the infinite or to inquire into the origin of things is a vain and useless task, that our time might be better occupied in dealing with those actualities of life which more closely concern our present existence. But surely anything that will make us think more deeply about God and about the great eternal principles of life cannot be considered useless.

Download or read book When God Spoke Greek written by Timothy Michael Law and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most readers do not know about the Bible used almost universally by early Christians, or about how that Bible was birthed, how it grew to prominence, and how it differs from the one used as the basis for most modern translations. Although it was one of the most important events in the history of our civilization, the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek in the third century BCE is an event almost unknown outside of academia. Timothy Michael Law offers the first book to make this topic accessible to a wider audience. Retrospectively, we can hardly imagine the history of Christian thought, and the history of Christianity itself, without the Old Testament. When the Emperor Constantine adopted the Christian faith, his fusion of the Church and the State ensured that the Christian worldview (which by this time had absorbed Jewish ideals that had come to them through the Greek translation) would leave an imprint on subsequent history. This book narrates in a fresh and exciting way the story of the Septuagint, the Greek Scriptures of the ancient Jewish Diaspora that became the first Christian Old Testament.
