Excerpt from A Dissertation on Native Depravity
We should have no particular motives to dis turb men in these notions, if we did not believe them to be both false and dangerous. But con fident of this, we are not at liberty any longer to be silent. We sincerely hope the time has come, when this subject will undergo a faithful discus sion. If we are not deceived, truth is very precious to us; and we care not how, or through whose instrumentality, we find it. If the doc trine on which we propose to submit a few re marks in the following pages, be not found in the Bible, we have no such attachments to it, and no such habits of thinking, as to be unwilling they should all be broken up. We will surrender our selves to no theory, no adventurous speculations, no previous mode of thinking. But if we know ourselves, we mean to bow to the decisions of God's holy word. To the law and to the testi mony; if we speak not according to these, it is because there is no light in us. Most cheerfully do we join issue with a writer whom we very highly esteem, on the other side of the question, and say, Speak consciencefichristian kind ness-god's Holy Word - and I ask for no more.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This 19th-century book explores the theological debate surrounding the concept of Native Depravity. The author, a staunch advocate for the doctrine, argues that all humans are born with a proclivity for sin, citing biblical passages that describe humanity as wicked, estranged from God, and deserving of wrath. Central to the book's argument is the idea that sin is an inherent part of human nature, rather than a result of external factors or lack of knowledge. The author challenges the notion that infants are innocent, positing that even the youngest children possess a moral consciousness and are capable of wrongdoing. Throughout the book, the author delves into the scriptural basis for Native Depravity, examining passages from the Old and New Testaments that seem to support the doctrine. They also address objections and counterarguments, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the innate sinfulness of humanity in order to fully understand the need for redemption. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the doctrine of Native Depravity, providing a valuable contribution to theological discourse on the nature of sin and humanity's relationship with God.
