Excerpt from Letters on the Trinity, and on the Divinity of Christ: Addressed to the Rev. William E. Channing, in Answer to His Sermon "on the Doctrines of Christianity;" Preached and Published at Baltimore It will not do, therefore, first to acknowledge the Scrip tures as containing a revelation of the Divine Will, and then to sit in judgment upon the individual parts or subjects of that revelation. If so, we are justly chargeable with the in consistency Of at the same time admitting and rejecting it of admitting it in part, and of rejecting it in part. If -it be in deed and in truth an emanation from God, we must re ceive it as. A whole and believe it as a whole If it be not a divine revelation, then let its claims he disproved, and its authority at once and for ever set aside. Were we required to furnish an exemplification Of the principle against which our Observations have been directed, we might select the account given by the Apostle John of the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, when he says, The Word (logos) became flesh and dwelt among us.' Now, that portion of Scripture which bears the name of John as its author, after having been subjected to the most rigid examination, has been admitted into the sacred canon, and has invariably been received byprofessing Christians as part of the Holy Scriptures.. But many who admit its authority in the abstract, and acknowledge John to be an inspired wri ter, nevertheless take exception against the passage in ques tion, because it is at variance with their preconceived opi nions, or inexplicable to their limited faculties Now, if John's gospel be indeed part of divine revelation, we are bound to yield our assent to its statements: We, must re ceive the declaration regarding Christ's incarnation (for to him the passage quoted undoubtedly refers) as true, because it forms part of John's gospel; and that gospel has been.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1844. Excerpt: ... and men. In like manner, the two great parties on earth, Jews and Gentiles, are united together. But why Christ should be called "the image of the invisible God," and the "head (Tpwroroicoc the first born) of all creation," because he is merely the instrument of bringing Jews and Gentiles together, is not apparent to me. Yet, to be such an instrument, is all that the passage in question ascribes to him, if we are to construe it in the manner above related. But when you understand the words of the apostle as describing the creation of the worlds celestial and terrestrial (61 ovpavoi Kcu y yij, compare Heb. i. 10--12, ) and ascribing it to Christ, then you find sufficient reason for designating him by the exalted appellations in question. It has also been affirmed that a moral creation only is here ascribed to Christ. But words like these, in such a connexion, and with such adjuncts, are nowhere else used in this sense. Moreover, in what sense has the moral creation by Christ affected the angels? The good ones needed not repentance or pardon; the bad ones have never sought or obtained either. " Verily, he did not assist the angels (ov yap Sr)irov ayyewv tTrCKafxavtrat, ) but the seed of Abraham." (Heb. ii. 16.) Until I see different light, therefore, shed over the passage in question, I must regard it as very clearly ascribing the creation of the universe to Christ. But you will say, perhaps, that in John i. 3, " All things are said to be made by Christ" cW Xptarov, as the instrumental, not the principal cause, --the preposition Sia denoting such cause. In Col. i. 16, it is also said that all tilings were created by Christ (St avrov); and in Heb. i. 2, God is said to have created the worlds by his Son, --At' ov (sc. vlov) Kat Tovq cuwvag tirotraev.

Book Description
Excerpt from Letters on the Trinity, and on the Divinity of Christ: Addressed to the Rev. William E. Channing, in Answer to His Sermon -on the Doctrines of Christianity- The word of God, and reason, and experience, are all in oppo sition to the thought, not unfrequently entertained, of a very great change having taken place in the disposition ofmen to wards Christian truth, and towards those who faithfully proclaim it, in comparison with that manifested in the time of the Apostles. The enmity of the carnal mind - that is, of every mind unre newed by divine grace - remains the same. It may not be carried to the same extent in the outward exhibition of it, nor embodied in thesameforms. Still, now, asformerly, itis true that there isapowerful spirit of oppositionwthe Gospelamongstmen amongst professing Christians - even amongst the inhabitants of England, of Scotland, and of this City. The result also must be the same. As the Apostles were suspected, insulted, perse outed, - the same, with the limitations before described, must be the portion of every man who sets before his fellow-creatures, as he did, the fearful depth of their natural depravity - the number and aggravation of their actual sink-the condemnation to which.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
