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...

Excerpt: ... of it; and his example is justly proposed to us under our trials and sufferings. Pet. ii, 11. Christ also hath suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow his steps, i John iii. 16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he (that is Christ) laid down his life for us; and we ought also to lay down our lives for the brethren. SECTION III. Of the sense in which the death of Christ is represented as a facrifice, and other figurative representations of it. HAVING explained the one great and primary end of the life and death of Christ, and also pointed out the other secondary and subordinate ends which were likewise really answered by it, I shall now attempt to illustrate the figurative representations that are made of it by the facred writers. These have unfortunately misled many christians, and have been the occasion of their entertaining opinions concerning the end of Christ's coining into the world, quite different from those which appear upon the very face of the history; opinions which are contradicted by the whole tenor of revelation, and which are extremely in jurious to the character of the ever-blessed God. N 3 The The most remarkable of these figurative representations of the death of Christ, is that in which he is compared to a sacrifice, and as a figure, it is just and beautiful. In every sacrifice the victim is slain for the benefit of the person on whose account it is offered; so Christ, dying to procure the greatest possible benefit to the human race, is said to have given his life a sacrifice for us; and moreover as the end of the gospel is to promote the reformation of sinners, in order to procure the pardon of sin, the death of Christ is more expressly compared to asin offering. These points of...

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...
