Excerpt from Ministerial Qualifications: A Sermon, Delivered October 30th, 1827, at a Meeting of the Presbytery of Carlisle, in Harrisburg, Penn
But there is more than general presumptions in dis proof of the prelatical character of Timothy, and of Titus too. The advocates of Diocesan Episcopacy are challeng ed to shew that the apostles ever assumed this power. They possessed extraordinary powers as apostles, which have not been imparted to any since their day. Nothing can be inferred from them in its favour. When Diocesan Bish ops can Show that they possess miraculous gifts, the power of discerning spirits, and have been eye-witnesses of the gin ry of Christ, then, but not till then, may they be acknowl edged as occupying the seats of the apostles. Whatever authority the apostles exercised, in which they did not act under the immediate guidance and inspiration of the Spirit, was precisely that of Presbyters. And thus Peter the great prom-roman Hierarch as some allege, styles him~ self a Presbyter, and affects no higher dignity. 1 Pet. 5. 1.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book raises the question of what God expects of us and answers with the suggestion that he calls for us to act justly, to love mercy, and to move through life "humbly with thy God." The author places this lesson within the broader context of God's character and government, noting that because God is inherently benevolent, we can trust that his commandments are for our own good. The author goes on to develop the thematic depth of these ideas, examining the ways in which morality and immorality play out in our individual lives as well as in our society as a whole. Ultimately, the book's insights on the subject are significant because they help us to understand how our actions impact our relationship with both God and with each other, and they provide a framework for making choices that are in alignment with our moral obligations.
