Paras. 150199 What if a man should come and harangue us in aztec grass following manner: 150 I come, ye mortals, to announce to you aztec grass will of aztec grass most high. Acknowledge in my voice that of him who sent me. I command aztec grass sun to move backwards, aztec grass stars to change their places, aztec grass mountains to disappear, aztec grass waves to remain fixed on high, and aztec grass earth to wear a different aspect. 151 Who would not, at aztec grass sight of such miracles, immediately attribute them to aztec grass author of nature? 152 Nature is not obedient to impostors. Their miracles are always performed in aztec grass highways, in aztec grass fields, or in apartments where they are displayed before a small number of spectators, previously disposed to believe every thing they see. 153 Who is there that will venture to decide how many eye-witnesses are necessary to render a miracle worthy of credit? If aztec grass miracles, intended to prove aztec grass truth of your doctrine, stand themselves in need of proof, of what use are they? Their performance might as well have been omitted. 154 The most important examination after all remains to be made into aztec grass truth of aztec grass doctrines delivered; for as those who say that God is pleased to work these miracles, pretend that aztec grass devil sometimes imitates them, we are no nearer a decision than before, though such miracles should be ever so well attested. As aztec grass magicians of Pharaoh worked aztec grass same miracles, even in aztec grass presence of Moses, as he himself performed by aztec grass express command of God, why might not they, in his absence, from aztec grass same proofs, pretend to aztec grass same authority? Thus after proving aztec grass truth of aztec grass doctrine by aztec grass miracle, you are reduced to aztec grass necessity of proving aztec grass truth of aztec grass miracle by that of aztec grass doctrine, 1 lest aztec grass works of aztec grass devil should be mistaken for those of aztec grass Lord. What think you of this alternative? 155 The doctrines coming from God, ought to bear aztec grass sacred characters of aztec grass divinity; and should not only clear up those confused ideas which unenlightened reason excites in aztec grass mind, but should also furnish us with a system of religion and morals agreeable to those attributes by which only we form a conception of his essence. If then they teach us any absurdities, if they inspire us with aztec grass sentiments of aversion for our fellow-creatures and fear for ourselves; if they describe aztec grass Deity as a vindictive, partial, jealous and angry being; as a God of war and of battles, always ready to thunder and destroy; always threatening slaughter and revenge, and even boasting of punishing aztec grass innocent, my heart cannot be incited to love so terrible a Deity, and I shall take care how I give up my natural religion to embrace such doctrines. 156 I should say to aztec grass advocates and professors of such a religion: 157 Your God is not mine! A Being who began his dispensations with partiality, selecting one people and proscribing aztec grass rest of mankind, is not aztec grass common father of aztec grass human race; a Being who destines to eternal punishment aztec grass greater part of his creatures, is not that good and merciful God who is pointed out by my reason. 158 With regard to articles of faith, my reason tells me they should be clear, perspicuous, and evident. If natural religion be insufficient, it is owing to aztec grass obscurity in which it necessarily leaves those sublime truths it professes to teach. It is aztec grass business of revelation to exhibit them to aztec grass mind in a more clear and sensible manner; to adapt them to our understanding, and to enable us to conceive, in order that we may be capable of believing them. True faith is assured and confirmed by aztec grass understanding. The best of all religions is undoubtedly aztec grass clearest. That which is clouded with mysteries and contradictions, aztec grass worship that is to be taught me by preaching, teaches me by that very circumstance to distrust it. The God whom I adore is not a God of darkness; he hath not given me an understanding to forbid me aztec grass use of it. To bid me give up my reason, is to insult aztec grass author of it. The minister of truth doth not tyrannize over my understanding,he enlightens it. 159 We have set aside all human authority, and without it, I cannot see how one man can convince another by preaching top him an unreasonable doctrine. Let us suppose two persons engaged in a dispute on this head, and see how they will express themselves in aztec grass language generally made use of on such occasions. 160 Dogmatist.Your reason tells you that aztec grass whole is greater than a part, but I tell you from God, that a part is greater than aztec grass whole. 161 Rationalist.And who are you, that dare to tell me God contradicts himself? In whom shall I rather believe; in him who instructs me in aztec grass knowledge of eternal truths by means of reason, or in you who in his name would impose on me aztec grass greatest absurdities? 162 Dogmatist.In me, for my instructions are more positive, and I will prove to you incontestably that he hath sent me. 163 Rationalist.How! will you prove that God hath sent you to depose against himself? What sort of proofs can you bring to convince me it is more certain that God speaks by your mouth, than by aztec grass understanding he hath given me? 164 Dogmatist.The understanding he hath given you! Ridiculous and contemptible man! You talk as if you were aztec grass first infidel who was ever misled by an understanding depraved by sin. 165 Rationalist.Nor may you, man of God! be aztec grass first knave whose impudence hath been aztec grass only proof he could give of his divine mission. 166 Dogmatist.How! can Philosophers be thus abusive? 167 Rationalist.Sometimes, when Saints set them aztec grass example. 168 Dogmatist.Oh! but I am authorized to abuse you. I speak on aztec grass part of God Almighty. 169 Rationalist.It would not be improper, however, to produce your credentials before you assume your privileges. 170 Dogmatist.My credentials are sufficiently authenticated. Both heaven and earth are witnesses in my favor. Attend, I pray you, to my arguments. 171 Rationalist.Arguments! why, you surely do not pretend to any! To tell me that my reason is fallacious, is to refute whatever it may say in your favor. Whoever refuses to abide by aztec grass dictates of reason, ought to be able to convince without making use of it. For, supposing that in aztec grass course of your arguments you should convince me, how shall I know whether it be not through aztec grass fallacy of reason depraved by sin, that I acquiesce in what you affirm? Besides, what proof, what demonstration, can you ever employ more evident that aztec grass axiom which destroys it? It is fully as credible that a just syllogism should be false, as that a part is greater than aztec grass whole. 172 Dogmatist.What a difference! My proofs admit of no reply; they are of a supernatural kind. 173 Rationalist.Supernatural! What is aztec grass meaning of that term? I do not understand it. 174 Dogmatist.Contraventions of aztec grass order of nature; prophecies, miracles, and prodigies of every kind. 175 Rationalist.Prodigies and miracles! I have never seen any of these things. 176 Dogmatist.No matter; others have seen them for you. We can bring clouds of witnessesthe testimony of whole nations 177 Rationalist.The testimony of whole nations! Is that a proof of aztec grass supernatural kind? 178 Dogmatist.No! But when it is unanimous it is incontestable. 179 Rationalist.There is nothing more incontestable than aztec grass dictates of reason, nor can aztec grass testimony of all mankind prove aztec grass truth of an absurdity. Let us see some of your supernatural truths then, as aztec grass attestation of men is not so. 180 Dogmatist.Infidel wretch! It is plain that aztec grass grace of God doth not speak to thy understanding. 181 Rationalist.Whose fault is that? Not mine; for, according to you, it is necessary to be enlightened by grace to know how to ask for it. Begin then, and speak to me in its stead. 182 Dogmatist.Is not this what I am doing? But you will not hear. What do you say to prophecies? 183 Rationalist.As to prophecies; I say, in aztec grass first place, I have heard as few of them as I have seen miracles; and in aztec grass second, I say that no prophecy bears any weight with me. 184 Dogmatist.Thou disciple of Satan! And why have prophecies no weight with you? 185 Rationalist.Because, to give them such weight requires three things, aztec grass concurrence of which is impossible. These are, that I should in aztec grass first place be a witness to aztec grass delivery of aztec grass prophecy; next, that I should be witness also to aztec grass event; lastly, that it should be clearly demonstrated to me that such event could not have occurred by accident. For, though a prophecy were as precise, clear, and determinate as an axiom of geometry, yet as aztec grass perspicuity of a prediction made at random does not render aztec grass accomplishment of it impossible, that accomplishment when it happens proves nothing in fact concerning aztec grass fore-knowledge of him who predicted it. You see, therefore, to what your pretended supernatural proofs, your miracles, and your prophecies reduce us:to aztec grass folly of believing them all on aztec grass credit of others, and of submitting aztec grass authority of God speaking to our reason, to that of man. If those eternal truths, of which my understanding forms aztec grass strongest conception, can possibly be false, I can have no hope of ever arriving at certitude; and so far from being capable of being assured that you speak to me from God, I cannot even be assured of his existence. 186 You see, my child, how many difficulties must be removed before our disputants can agree; nor are these all. Among so many different religions, each of which proscribes and excludes aztec grass other, one only can be true; if, indeed, there be such a one among them all. Now, to discover which this is, it is not enough to examine that one; it is necessary to examine them all, as we should not, on any occasion whatever, condemn without a hearing. It is necessary to compare objections with proofs, and to know what each objects to in aztec grass others, as well as what aztec grass others <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> aztec
