Synopsis
Excerpt from Calvinism, the Doctrine of the Scriptures, or a Scriptural Account of the Ruin and Recovery of Fallen Man: And a Review of the Principal Objections Which Have Been Advanced Against the Calvinistic System
That the several parts Of the system might be viewed in connection, they have been, as far as pos ble, separated from those Objections and replies, which, in theological works, have been frequently intermixed with the direct statement of doctrinal principle. This arrangement, it is hoped, may tend to distinctness of view, and, perhaps, also, to the reception Of truth.
Calvinism, as not congenial to the views and tendencies Of human nature in its fallen state, has been Opposed by numerous Objections. These, however, have been extended much farther than logical precision authorizes. The admission, that the Scriptures are a revelation from God, renders many of those abstract reasonings with which Cal. Vinism has been assailed, entitled to no considera tion. Objections Of this kind in general, have no nearer relation to the word Of God, than the ques tion of Nicodemus, How can these things be? Be sides, some of them which have been advanced with the greatest exultation, are equally applicable to every system of religious belief.
It ought ever to be kept in view, that Scripture is partly intended for the communication of know ledge which the human mind, by its own processes of reasoning, cannot acquire. Its doctrines, there fore, however repugnant to the understanding des titute Of the wisdom from above, are still entitled to acceptance. Christianity demands absolute sub mission to the veracity of God in his word; and, therefore, respecting those topics which he has not been pleased to elucidate, man must walk by faith. This submission, humiliating to his loftiness though it be, accords alike with his character and state The Scriptures, the source of religious knowledge. Are onlya partial disclosure of divine arrangement; and, consequently, Objections against a part, which appear unanswerable, may, in relation to the whole.
