Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Venture of Rational Faith If we have gained a standing-ground on some shore is the tide-mark above or below us? Though we see the waves lapping at our feet, rising, threatening, are we secure within that invisible barrier which holds back the waters? In every province into which faith enters, not only in the belief in God, but the trust in our friends and in our own business in life, when once standing-ground has been attained, difficulties which threatened break like waves on a rock and are given back in vapour to the air.

Download or read book Our Reasonable Faith Classic Reprint written by Park Hays Miller and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Reasonable Faith This book is the effort of the writer to tell in simple language some of the thoughts concerning the Christian faith and the Christian life which have helped him in the secret battles of his own mind, and which have helped others like himself with whom he has dealt. The book is not a formal argument for the truth of the Christian faith; it is not a book on Christian evidences; nor is it an apologetic; although it is hoped that it will strengthen the faith of those who may be troubled about the truth of Christianity, and that it may give to its readers new reasons for the hope that is in them. The four subjects which are brought together in this book have been discussed separately in many volumes, but the writer does not know of a single book which brings them together in this way for the ordinary reader. That there arc so few quotations from books other than the Bible is due to the fact that most of the material has been made so much a part of the writer's own thinking that he has lost any consciousness of its connection with its original sources. The book deals with four subjects which vitally concern the Christian - the Bible, in which the revelation of God to men has been preserved; great truths revealed in the Scriptures and proved by experience; the Commandments as the laws of conduct; and the Church, through which the truth has been preserved, by which the truth is taught, and in connection with which the Christian finds spiritual nurture and a field for service.

The only statement to be found in the Book of Discipline of Baltimore Yearly Meeting of Friends that directly refers to belief is as follows: It is the belief of the Religious Society of Friends that God manifested himself in Jesus Christ, and that the Spirit which was in Jesus is revealed in the human soul and constitutes the Rock on which the Church is founded.

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 Book of Truth written by Henry Septimus Griggs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Truth: A Reasonable Faith and the Future Religion of the World The nearest heavenly body to us is the moon, which is called The Daughter because it is so beautiful. It is a distance of about two hundred and thirty-eight thousand miles from this earth. That would be a long journey for Christ to take in a suit of the gardener's clothes. The sun most of the time is about ninety-three millions of miles from this earth. We are told that the distance to all the planets is deter mined with mathematical precision. The fact is that none of the astronomers agree on the exact distance to many of the planets, some of the calculations varying about five million miles. The nearest of the stars is at a distance of about twenty-five billions of miles from this earth. If we should tell our Christian friends, without an explana tion, that we could see so far as that, they would call us liars, or think that we were insane. All of these heavenly bodies are at a great distance from the earth; are independent, each of the other, and are immense distances apart. We see the extent of the heavens, with millions of stars, which are worlds, many of them larger than the earth on which we live. Are not these facts enough to convince a sane person that there is a greater being than man, one whom we call God? This Being we should love and worship in preference to all others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theology of Faith If the elements which go to make up Divine faith are overlooked by the persons who discuss this question or write upon it, errors most fatal and disastrous are certain to appear, and those errors will, in many cases, be so far-reaching in their effects as ultimately to lead to the complete overthrow of all revealed religion. We have, therefore, devoted the opening chapter of the treatise to an explanation of the virtue of faith, its supernatural character, and its influence on the faculty in which it inheres. We have tried to explain how it is acquired, and the various ways in which it may be lost, and also suggested to the reader some of the differences which exist between it and the moral virtues. In referring to the nature and causes of faith we are reminded that the Vatican Council (cap. 3, De Fide) teaches that faith is a supernatural virtue by which, under the inspiration and help of God's grace, we believe that those things which were revealed by Him are true, not be cause their intrinsic truth is perceived by the natural light of reason, but on account of the authority of God who reveals them and who can neither deceive nor be deceived; that to secure a reasonable assent to faith God has willed that the external arguments for revelation shouldbe joined to the internal assistance of the Holy Spirit; and that those external arguments are, in the first place, mlracles and prophecy which, since they go to demonstrate God's omnipotence and infinite knowledge, are unquestionable Signs of Divine revelation and are also suited to the intellectual capacities of all. In trying to explain the nature of faith we have treated of it in its relation to the human faculties, and especially in its relation to the reason and will (cc. Ii. And God does not ask us to accept faith blindly. On the contrary He wishes us to make use of our reason, as a preliminary to faith. The Apostles appealed to the reason of the unbelieving multitudes, and St. Paul often did so with great effect; yet, in alluding to his share in the work, the Apostle thus wrote: I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase (1 Cor. Iii. God alone can give men faith, although, by appealing to the reasonableness of Christian faith, the preacher tries to remove the difficulties and prejudices against its acceptance. Hence the necessity of having the reason and will well ordered as a preparation for faith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
