Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rule of Faith: Fifth Lecture, Delivered Before the Protestant Alliance, of Nova Scotia, at Temperance Hall, Halifax, on Friday Evening, February 11th, 1859
Inspiration is claimed only for what is written. All Scrip ture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable. We have a divine warrant to appeal to the written word and the unwritten word must come before us supported by the same evidences of Divine presence that sustained inspired writers. Nothing less than. The demonstration of miraculous gifts is needed to command our homage. If traditions proceeded from the lips of men possessed of extraordinary spiritual qua lifications we might receive them. The communications of Patriarchs were the utterances of Prophets the oral tradii tions of Paul were the utterances of a holy man speaking as he was moved by the Holy Ghost - sand if these traditions have not been committed to writing, we must forfeit the advantage to be derived from them, except we can place the same faith in the reporter as in the original speaker. The value of an original communication may be admitted and there may be good reason to doubt, notwithstanding, whether it has been faithfully transmitted. Upon this subject Mn. Gavin has remarked that water which has issued from the purest mountain fountain becomes corrupted by passing through a dunghill, and the stream of tradition could hardly find a worse channel than by the city of the seven hills. When luther opened the sluices that discharged the sewers of that ancient foundation, the Pope and the Cardinals them selves were obligei to put the branch to their noses.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Protestant Reformation's turning away from the scriptures as the definitive rule of faith. Instead, the Reformers substituted their own interpretations of the scriptures, a position the author argues has allowed for wide latitude of interpretation, and is a major reason for the disunity that plagues the Protestant landscape today. The author posits that the clear and authoritative guidance of the scriptures is the only way for the church to restore lost unity and effectively address the errors and inconsistencies of competing denominations.

In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243489084_0
