Sinopsis

Excerpt from Human Reason and the Perfect Morality: A Discourse

By Christianity we mean that which is revealed in the everlasting Gospel not any Of the counterfeits, ancient or modern, which are Offered as substitutes for it. Incarnation Of divinity without a divine person, redemption without a ransom, justification without a perfect righteousness, a covenant Of peace without a proper atoning sacrifice, a good conscience without an adequate vindication of moral law, a pure heart without faith in divine love, and such like incoherent fancies may suit those who resolve their belief into a feeling devoid Of thought but a sound understanding, discern ing that truth is not self-contradictory, can no more find rest in meaningless mysticism, or in vague idealism, than in the romantic theory of the soul's salvation by the physical power of Sacraments. The christianity by which men are made holy is found in the genuine Gospel of Jesus Christ. Sanctify them through thy truth thy word is truth.
