Synopsis
Excerpt from Systematic View of Divinity: Or, the Ruin and Recovery of Man
If then, a possibility of sinning is essential to a state of trial, where is the ground of admiration, when we find sin has in fact, took place among God's crea tures if the state of trial in which the creature is placed, is such, that humanly speaking, there is a greater probability of sinning, than of standing, it will confessedly bear hard upon the wisdom and goodness of God. But when the prospect of standing is equal to that of falling, it cannot be denied to be a fair trial. And if the prospect of standing, is much greater than that of falling, as was the case with our first parents in their trial under the first covenant, we have rea son to acknowledge divine wisdom and goodness ap pearing in the constitution, altho' the event was that man fell.

Systematic View of Divinity: Or, the Ruin and Recovery of Man (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound concept of mankind's creation, fall, and restoration. The author postulates that humanity's original state was one of perfection, where they enjoyed a close relationship with God. The book presents the idea that the covenant between God and humanity involved a moral law that mirrored God's character. The violation of this covenant, exemplified by the story of Adam and Eve, resulted in the loss of humanity's initial blessedness and a state of sin and misery. The author explores the theological implications of this fall from grace, the concept of original sin, and the consequences it has had on human nature. Through an examination of biblical texts, the book presents a comprehensive view of humanity's spiritual journey and the hope of redemption. It concludes by emphasizing the significance of understanding this journey to fully grasp the themes of sin, salvation, and the ultimate restoration of humanity's relationship with God. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
