Excerpt from An Examination of the Doctrine of Future Retribution: In Connection With the Moral Nature of Man, the Principle of Analogy, and the Sacred Scriptures
If the master spirits who led in the reforma tion, in the sixteenth century, had yielded to the fear of giving offence to a church which was imbued with error and corruption, the moral darkness which characterized that age might have continued a protracted night; and the benign light, which has made such salutary advances, might have been excluded from the Christian world.
Whatever may be said to justify Galileo for abjuring the Copernican system, when his life was menaced, the same could not be urged in extenuation of the impropriety of withholding important truth from society, in times which are not disgraced with offices of inquisition.

An Examination of the Doctrine of Future Retribution (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that a belief in future rewards and punishments is unnecessary to establish and maintain true religion and morality. The author contends that the hope of future reward or the fear of future punishment is not what motivates people to act; instead, we act based on our expectations of immediate happiness. The author further argues that the doctrine of future rewards and punishments is harmful because it teaches that God and morality are unlovable and unworthy of being loved. The book concludes by asserting that the only fear that can prevent crime is the fear of committing it, and that sin itself ought to be considered as the greatest evil and the evil most to be dreaded. The author's insights on this subject are significant because they challenge traditional beliefs about the role of fear and hope in motivating human behavior and highlight the importance of understanding the true nature of sin and morality.
