This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demonstration of the Truth of the Christian ReligionAbundant as are the materials for the construction of such an irrefragable argument, yet additional evidence is still ac cumulating. While the progress of physical science dis closes the works of the God of nature, it illustrates also the truth of his word. The very objections of ignorance become the arguments of knowledge. And, as superstition is shaken, true religion is confirmed. And the'labours of all the ene mies of the truth, in seeking to confound Christianity with its corruptions, or to subvert them together, is only the clear ing away of the rubbish which has too long obscured the rock on which the church of Christ is built; and that man must know but little of the spirit of the times, and be ill-instructed unto the kingdom of Heaven, who, in seeking to illustrate the truth of the gospel, could not readily bring forth out of his treasure things new as well as old.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christianity Not Founded on Argument written by Henry Dodwell and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DODWELL, HENRY, the younger (d. 1784), deist, fourth child and eldest son of Henry Dodwell [q. v.], was born at Shottesbrooke, Berkshire, probably about the beginning of the eighteenth century. He was educated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, where he proceeded B.A. 9 Feb. 1726. Subsequently he studied law. He is said to have been 'a polite, humane, and benevolent man,' and to have taken a very active part in the early proceedings of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce. But the one circumstance which alone has rescued his name from oblivion was the publication of a very remarkable pamphlet in 1742, entitled 'Christianity not founded on Argument.' The work was published anonymously, but Dodwell was well known to be the author. It was professedly written in defence of Christianity, and many thought at the time, and some think even still, that it was written in all seriousness. But its tendency obviously is to reduce Christianity to an absurdity, and, judging from the internal evidence of the work, the writer appears to have been far too keen-sighted a man not to perceive that this must be the conclusion arrived at by those who accept his arguments. To understand his work, it must be remembered that 'reasonableness' was the keynote to all the discussions respecting theology in the first half of the eighteenth century. The pamphlet appeared towards the close of the deistical controversy, after the deists had been trying to prove for half a century that a belief in revealed religion was unreasonable, and the orthodox that it was reasonable. In opposition to both, Dodwell maintained that 'assent to revealed truth, founded upon the conviction of the understanding, is a false and unwarrantable notion;' that 'that person best enjoys faith who never asked himself a question about it, and never dwelt at all on the evidence of reason;' that 'the Holy Ghost irradiates the souls of believers at once with an irresistible light from heaven that flashes conviction in a moment, so that this faith is completed in an instant, and the most perfect and finished creed produced at once without any tedious progress in deductions of our own;' that 'the rational Christian must have begun as a sceptic; must long have doubted whether the gospel was true or false. And can this,' he asks, 'be the faith that overcometh the world? Can this be the faith that makes a martyr?' After much more to the same effect, he concludes, 'therefore, my son, give thyself to the Lord with thy whole heart, and lean not to thy own understanding.'At the time when Dodwell wrote the reaction had begun to set in against this exaltation of 'reason' and a 'reasonable Christianity.' William Law had written his 'Case of Reason,' &c., in which he strives to show that reason had no case at all, and Dodwell's pamphlet seems like a travesty of that very able work. The Methodists had begun to preach with startling effects the doctrines of the 'new birth' and instantaneous conversion, and some of them hailed the new writer as a valuable ally, and recommended him as such to John Wesley. But Wesley was far too clear-sighted not to see the real drift of the work. 'On a careful perusal,' he writes, 'of that piece, notwithstanding my prejudice in its favour, I could not but perceive that the great design uniformly pursued throughout the work was to render the whole of the Christian institution both odious and contemptible. His point throughout is to prove that Christianity is contrary to reason, or that no man acting according to the principles of reason can possibly be a Christian. It is a wonderful proof of the power that smooth words may have even on serious minds that so many have mistook such a writer as this for a friend of Christianity' (Earnest Appeal to Men of Reason and Religion, p. 14).

Download or read book False Doctrines written by Jesus Villalobos and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian doctrine has long been due for a closer look. This book goes into Scripture to prove that many accepted doctrines within Church walls do not fit what Scripture declares. One example of this would be what is known as the "Born Again" doctrine. This doctrine has been used to accept anyone who comes forward during an alter call into the family of God. However, is this what Scripture teaches as the true doctrine of Christ? No.Scripture states that only one man had to be born again. That man was Christ. Unfortunately, when people read Scripture, they fail to see that the singular is used when Christ explains His true doctrine to Nicodemus. He plainly states that "A Man" (speaking of Himself) must be born again in order for Nicodemus to see (not enter into) the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus any who would be born again were born again the same instant Christ was born again when He rose from the dead. They cannot be born again during their physical lifetime here on earth. They were already born again through Christ when He resurrected. Therefore, they were chosen before they were even born. This proves that God does the choosing and men cannot choose to be saved. God chose and caused to be born again those whom He wanted as His children before they were even born as Christ resurrected.This and many other subjects are tackled in this book. Many seemingly harmless doctrines have invaded the Church. Yet when viewed from a Scriptural point of view, we see that indeed it makes a tremendous difference what a person believes is the sound doctrine taught by Christ. Yeshua was very specific as to whom He was speaking. When He used the singular, He was speaking of one person. It is only when He used the plural that He was speaking to men in general. Therefore, much of what is used to guide Christian today, was not meant for them at all, and was rather speaking of Christ or someone in Scripture particularly. Careful examination disproves many accepted doctrines within the Church today. Let's take a closer look at the doctrines Christ taught together and maybe, just maybe, the light will begin to shine upon you in truth.,
