Synopsis

A Scriptural Refutation Of Mr. Irving's Heresy. (With Slight Alterations, Extr. From Sermons Chiefly On Subjects Connected With The Present State Of The Church And Of The World) by Algernon Sydney Thelwall. This polemical tract expands from sermons on the Incarnation of the Son of God and argues for the orthodox doctrine that Jesus Christ possessed a sinless human nature, contrasting with Irving's views. It defends the Second Article of the Church of England, the Fifteenth Article, and the Westminster and Scottish confessional statements, asserting that Christ was truly human and without sin. The work discusses the meaning of the word “flesh” in Scripture, showing its varied uses, and rebuts assertions that Christ bore sinful tendencies. It also critiques Irvingite claims of miraculous gifts and visions, warning readers about Neology and sensationalism. Throughout, the author emphasizes the necessity of scriptural grounding and the holiness of Christ as the pattern for Christian faith and practice.
