الصفحة 18 - THE heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
الصفحة 65 - And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
الصفحة 77 - And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
الصفحة 45 - No man can assert three persons, meaning three consciousnesses, wills, and understandings, and still have any intelligent meaning in his mind, when he asserts that they are yet one person. For, as he now uses the term, the very idea of a person is that of an essential, incommunicable monad, bounded by consciousness, and vitalized by self-active will, which being true, he might as well profess to hold that three units are yet one unit. When he does it, his words will, of necessity, be only substitutes...
الصفحة 29 - A very large portion of the Christian teachers, together with the general mass of disciples, undoubtedly hold three real living persons in the interior nature of God ; that is, three consciousnesses, wills, hearts, understandings. Certain passages of scripture supposed to represent the three persons as covenanting, co-operating, and co-presiding, are taken, accordingly, so to affirm, in the most literal and dogmatic sense. And some very distinguished living teachers are frank enough to acknowledge,...
الصفحة 44 - ... is clear, it is that the Three of Scripture do appear under the grammatic forms which are appropriate to person — I, thou, he, we, and they; and, if it be so, I really do not perceive the very great license taken by our theology when they are called three persons.

الصفحة 30 - Thus, it is sometimes protested that, in the word person, nothing is meant beyond a " threefold distinction ;" though it will always be observed that, nothing is really meant by the protestation — that the protester goes on to speak and reason of the three, not as being only somewhats, or distinctions, but as metaphysical and real persons.
الصفحة 30 - But our properly orthodox teachers and churches, while professing three persons, also retain the verbal profession of one person. They suppose themselves really to hold that God is one person. And yet they most certainly do not ; they only confuse their understanding, and call their confusion faith. This, I affirm, not as speaking reproachfully, but, as I suppose, on the ground of sufficient evidence — partly because it cannot be otherwise, and partly because it visibly is not. No man can assert...
