Download or read book The Supernatural Classic Reprint written by A. Carman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Supernatural Christianity is the masterpiece of God, the paramount moral and spiritual design, and the crowning glory of the Infinite and Eternal Creator and Maker of all things. Christianity in its essential unity and central energy is supernatural; it is that, or it is a stupendous fraud. The Christian religion, peculiarly separate from other religions, is a system distinguished and dominated by the supernatural, or it is at once an insidious and vexa tious delusion. It deals with God and moral responsi bility, and with the life and souls and destiny of men. It is an orderly arrangement; and a firm, wisely designed compact of supernaturalism as clearly opposed to natur alism and humanism in the Spiritual domain. Its solid facts, its indisputable relations, its sure doctrines given of God, constitute a supernatural fabric of strength and beauty; and its inner life is a supernatural light, a superhuman flame. Otherwise its advocates are impos tors, and its teachers and propagators are weaklings, grossly deceived or deliberate deceivers. There is no middle ground. It is not a case of half-true, half-false. It is God's gift to man, or it is a gigantic falsehood. Its structure and essence are clear to the honest, open vision. Its principles are fixed in the moral and spiritual constitution of the eternal God, and its nature, aim and energies have been demonstrated tens of thousands of times in the relations of God and men.

This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metaphysics of the Supernatural as Illustrated by Descartes There is a tendency on the part of philosophers to aspire to heaven and to' explore heavenly regions. Since heaven has been once for all formed and fixed, the problems of philosophy are always the same. The persistent problems of philosophy reduce themselves to the ques tion of ultimates - the ultimate reality of the world and the ultimate reality of man. This question comes up in philosophy again and again. Only the forms in which it appears are different. They differ with the knowledge, temperament, and surroundings of the philosopher. But no matter in what form this question comes up and what course the road of dialectics takes, philosophers all reach regions that transcend knowledge, and the question being unsolved recurs again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science and the Supernatural In the language of Frederic Harrison, one of the foremost positivists of the day, This method turns aside from hypotheses not to be tested by any known logical canon familiar to science, whether the hypothesis claims support from intuition, aspira tion or general plausibility. And, again, this method turns aside from ideal standards which avow them selves to be lawless, which profess to transcend the field of law. We say, life and conduct shall stand for us wholly on a basis of law, and must rest entirely in that region of science, (not physical, but moral and social science, ) where we are free to use, our intelligence in the methods known to us as ih telligible logic, methods which the intellect can analyze. When you confront us with hypotheses however sublime and however affecting, if they can not be stated in terms of the rest of our knowledge, if they are disparate to that world of sequence and sensation which to us is the ultimate base of all our real knowledge, then we shake our heads and turn aside.

Download or read book The Supernatural Philosopher written by William Bond and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Supernatural Philosopher: Or, the Mysteries of Magick, in All Its Branches, Clearly Unfolded The second preserves travellers from danger, and is favourable to merchants, tradesmen, and workmen. The third carries destruction to any place where it is put: and it is said that a certain great minister of state ordered one of these to be carried into England in the times of the revolution ofgovern ment caused by Oliver Cromwell. The fourth they pretend cures fevers and other diseases; and if it be put under the bolster, it makes the proprietor have true dreams, in which he sees all he desires to know. The fifth, according to them, renders a man lucky and fortunate in all his businesses and undertakings. It dissipates melancholy, drives away all importunate cares, and banishes panic fears from the mind. The sixth, by being put into the liquor which any one drinks, reconciles mortal enemies, makes them intimate friends: it gains the love of all women, and renders the proprietor very dexterous in the art of music. The seventh makes women be easily brought to bed without pain; and if a horseman carries it in his left boot, himself and his horse become invulnerable. This, Paracelsus and his learned followers say, is owing to the influence of the stars; but I cannot help arguing these acts of diabolical impiety. But as these arts are rarely known among the middling part of mankind, I shall neither open their mysteries, nor inveigh against them any farther.

The second vision enabled me to examine the seemmg miracles and special providences, which are recorded 'in'the Bible and elsewhere, through the pure medi ums of Nature and Reason.

Download or read book Supernatural Revelation written by T. R. Birks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supernatural Revelation: Or First Principles of Moral Theology What babblings can be more profane and vain than those of Positivism with its new Supreme Being; or of Agnosticism, which places an algebraical x, the unknowable, on the throne of the universe? What can be more falsely named science than the audacious conjectures which have been of late repeatedly dignified with the name of scientific theories? Such as the con stant generation of the unlike from the unlike, through infinite ages of geological time, before there existed a single man who could witness this prodigious inver sion of the countless experiences of all real science for the last six thousand years? One great duty of Cambridge at this crisis, is in the study of nature to abide stedfastly by the induc tive principles of the philosophy of Bacon and Newton, so well carried out by many Cambridge students of these later times. But this implies the further duty to refrain from that unbridled license of imagination in scientific subjects, which leads many to dignify plausible or even unplausible conjectures with the name of science. Conjectures in science have a great use, but this depends on our never confounding them with proved facts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Download or read book Principles of Natural and Supernatural Morals Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Henry Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Natural and Supernatural Morals, Vol. 2 The main purpose of the book, of which this is the second of two volumes, is to establish the thesis, that there are, not one, but three sciences of morals. There appears to be, first, a science of the motives and ends of conduct that belong to pagan or non-religious man, to man regarded simply as a voluntary agent forming part of the world of nature. There appears to be, secondly, a science which, while it includes the former, takes account also of other phenomena arising from man being brought into conscious relations with God. Of the whole body of phenomena with which this science has to do, Jewish morality may be taken as the type. And there appears to be, thirdly, a science which embraces within its scope all the phenomena of the moral life of the present day, those which are at the same time Jewish together with others which are distinctively Christian. To account on natural grounds alone for the whole of the phenomena of moral life in a Christian country appears to be impossible. And it appears to be no less impossible truly to refer them all to religious influences. In order to arrive at anything like a correct understanding of moral processes in the present day, it seems necessary to discriminate carefully between those that have their origin in the constitution of man's ordinary nature, and those that are dependent upon his being brought into personal relations with God. And it seems necessary to distinguish further between the obligations of persons who know God only in some such manner as He is known by Jews, and the obligations of persons who enter into communion with Him as members of the Christian Church. In the first volume an attempt was made to exhibit a system of natural morals complete in respect of all essential points, a system generally applicable to the case of dwellers in pagan lands.
