13652 | Any attempt to do so must be arrogant and misleading, for who"by searching can find out God"? |
13652 | If the angels rejoice over the conversion of a sinner, are we to think that the spirits of just men made perfect are strangers to this joy? |
13652 | What think ye? |
13652 | Whence came matter if not from the creative word of God? |
30219 | Are there two natures divine and human in Him? |
30219 | HUMAN PERSONALITY AND HUMAN NATURE What is human personality? |
30219 | If personality can synthesise parts of a nature, why should it not also synthesise natures? |
30219 | If so, what did it unite? |
30219 | Is each distinct from the other and from the person? |
30219 | Is it a real union? |
30219 | Is the distinction conceptual or actual? |

11083 | Till seven times? |
11083 | A certain lawyer came to Christ, With mind and words of strife, And said,"Master, what shall I do, To have eternal life?" |

15412 | +"Ecquid verisimile est, ut tot ac tantae[ ecclesiae] in unam fidem erraverint?" |
15412 | -- III THE SILENCE OF OTHER NEW TESTAMENT WRITERS What are the objections brought against all this evidence? |

15412 | How can any serious student think that any but Jewish hands could have penned the first two chapters of St. Matthew''s Gospel? |
15412 | To reply--( I) First, we may surely ask-- Why should they mention it? |
15412 | What solid reason is there for not accepting it? |
44531 | But how about the bright, happy, laughing, helpful child? |
44531 | Can you think how glad you would be if you had no Christmas, and then one day all at once you had the first and best one of all? |
44531 | Can you think where he was? |
44531 | DO you like cold, dark, stormy days? |
44531 | Did you ever go on a journey? |
44531 | Did you ever see a sheep or a lamb? |
44531 | Did you ever try to walk in a dark night where there were no lights to shine on the pathway? |
44531 | Do you know that your mittens and jackets and nice warm dresses are made of the wool which the sheep have to spare for us? |
44531 | Do you think Jesus was about his heavenly Father''s business when he obeyed Mary and Joseph and went home so lovingly with them? |
44531 | Do you think she was careless to go off and leave him? |

44531 | How did you go? |
44531 | How do you feel when you get up and find the sun shining in your window? |
44531 | If your mamma was sick, what could you do to be a blessing to her? |

44531 | [ Illustration] Do you know someone who is twelve years old? |
34855 | Again, my duties at home, in my profession, in the work I have undertaken? |
34855 | Am I obliged to attend to my own needs and renounce the idea of sacrifice? |
34855 | Are they as regularly kept to as my circumstances permit? |
34855 | Are they on the whole punctually performed, accurately, with regard to details? |
34855 | But here, and now, have I come to the limit of meekness? |
34855 | Do I wonder now at the charm of early innocence, when a soul sits silently holding God as its centre? |
34855 | Hence the words of the Apostle:"Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? |
34855 | How about my subject for meditation, how about my following of the Mass, my watchfulness in prayer, my days for confession and communion? |
34855 | How can it be made strong by the Holy Spirit? |
34855 | How is it if God is wholly everywhere that He can be more here than there? |

34855 | Wherein comes the difference? |
34855 | Why should we suppose that this Divine Presence applies directly only to the Spirit of God? |
34855 | Why, then, is it repeated so often that the Holy Ghost is to be sent into our hearts, is to be given to us, is to dwell in our midst? |
26397 | And when the poet asks,--"Ah, what will our children be, The men of a hundred thousand, a million summers away?" |
26397 | But how is miracle to be differentiated from other providential dealings of God? |
26397 | But what does this mean, except that, when no miracles occur, God is not personally,_ i.e._ actively, in the chain of natural causes and effects? |
26397 | Does it require acceptance of these, as well as of its teachings? |
26397 | FOOTNOTES:[ 35]"The Church asks, and it is entitled to ask the critic: Do you believe in the Incarnation and Resurrection of Jesus Christ?... |
26397 | Is it, as they have been told, dependent for its attestation on signs and wonders occurring in the sphere of the senses? |
26397 | Is not this less improbable than that the natural order of the universe should have been set aside?" |
26397 | Or could it have been a material body suddenly becoming visible in a closed room, as narrated by Luke and John? |
26397 | The boy Zerah Colburn in half a minute solved the problem,"How many seconds since the beginning of the Christian era?" |
26397 | These alternatives are before us: Is the maximum or the minimum meaning to be assigned to the crucial word"dead"? |
26397 | What, indeed, but a revised and true in place of a mistaken conception of the term_ Supernatural_? |
26397 | Why may not the resuscitations in Christ''s time possibly have been similar cases? |
26397 | Will it be replied to this that the critics can show for their hypothesis the admitted fact of the human proclivity to invent legends of miracle? |
26397 | [ 22] Was Jesus aware that Lazarus was really not dead? |
26397 | [ 33] How, then, is it consistent to affirm that no such marvels in ancient records are historical realities? |
26397 | [ 46] Could it have been only an apparition? |
18377 | ''Canst thou by searching find out God?'' |
18377 | ''Did the Son of God exist before his generation?'' |
18377 | Are we to worship the Father of our spirits or the Supreme of the philosophers? |
18377 | But in that case, how can God and man form one person? |
18377 | But now was he to sign or not? |
18377 | But what was their grievance? |
18377 | For how, explains Constantine-- how could we who are Christians possibly keep the same day as those wicked Jews? |
18377 | Had they ceased to care for the Nicene alliance, or did they fancy the world had stood still since the Council of the Dedication? |
18377 | How then could Arianism venture to renew the contest? |
18377 | I lost an eye: how did you escape?'' |
18377 | If he cares for men, why does he let them perish? |
18377 | Is He not the Lord of powers( hosts)? |
18377 | Is it likely that their followers would straightway revise the creed the instant they got the upper hand in 381? |
18377 | Is it not written, All things are of God? |
18377 | Is not this a good confession? |
18377 | Or to the women,''Were you a mother before you had a child?'' |
18377 | They are joined together in their inmost nature, and( may we say it?) |
18377 | Was it Nicene or Arian? |
18377 | Was that a time to say of Christ,''But as for this man, we know not whence he is''? |
18377 | What mattered it to analyse the power of life they felt within them? |
18377 | What more can we want? |
18377 | What then was God to do? |
18377 | Who then was this man who was dead, whom all the churches affirmed to be alive and worshipped as the Son of God? |
18377 | Why should all this glorious language go for nothing? |
18377 | Would it not have been every way better to rest satisfied with the great moral victory already gained? |
18377 | Yet what escape was possible? |
43373 | Do you see? |
43373 | Is He not our best friend? |
43373 | Is it joy? |
43373 | _ Can not_ I make you see? |
43373 | After a pause I said:"Suppose Christ should really come this Christmas and it should be authoritatively announced that He would be here to- morrow?" |
43373 | Do we really believe what we hear in church? |
43373 | Do you think I can rejoice? |
43373 | He will, wo n''t He?" |
43373 | Of what use will all these be to- morrow?" |
43373 | The night, the long night of the world''s groping agony and blind desire? |
43373 | There seemed to be nothing doing; and each person looked wistfully upon his neighbor as if to say, Have you heard? |
43373 | To- night it''s mine; and to- morrow it will be all so much waste paper; and then what have I left? |
43373 | Was it true? |
43373 | What could be more powerful than such discourses? |
43373 | What does He want of me? |
43373 | What? |
43373 | Will these skies brighten and flash? |
43373 | Will this really ever happen? |
43373 | Will this solid, commonplace earth see it? |
43373 | Yet, though I felt awe, I felt a sort of confiding love as I said:"Tell me, is it really true? |
43373 | _ Is_ Christ coming?" |
43373 | _ Is_ it almost over? |
43373 | _ Is_ the day at hand? |
43373 | and will upturned faces in this city be watching to see Him coming? |
43373 | or is it a dream?" |
43373 | said the woman, turning towards him a face pale and fervent, and clasping her hands,"how can you say so?" |
43373 | to- morrow?" |
43373 | will He take us? |
46476 | And has not Huxley, with yet keener sarcasm, designated them the_ hetairæ_ of philosophy, so often have they led men astray? |
46476 | Are we again to resuscitate the phantom Teleology, which we had supposed at last safely buried between cross- roads and pinned down with a stake? |
46476 | But hold, cries the scientific inquirer, what in the world are you doing? |
46476 | By what name, then, shall we call this animating principle of the universe, this eternal source of phenomena? |
46476 | Can we regard it as in any wise"material,"or can we speak of its universal and ceaseless activity as in any wise the working of a"blind necessity"? |
46476 | Do I know how the corn sprouts? |
46476 | Does this belief answer to any outward reality? |
46476 | For, as St. Paul reminds us,"who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counsellor?" |
46476 | I can not see the wind; but what is it? |
46476 | Is not the belief in God perhaps a dream of the childhood of our race, like the belief in elves and bogarts which once was no less universal? |
46476 | Is there, in the scheme of things, aught that justifies Man in claiming kinship of any sort with the God that is immanent in the world? |
46476 | Of what, then, is it the symbol? |
46476 | Our question, then, becomes, What is this infinite and eternal Power like? |
46476 | The diviners certainly do not give us rain; for how could they do it? |
46476 | Was not Bacon right in characterizing"final causes"as vestal virgins, so barren has their study proved? |
46476 | What are these personified forces but little gods who are supposed to be invading the sacred domain of the ruler Zeus? |
46476 | What kind of language shall we use in describing it? |
46476 | Whence come they-- who sends them? |
46476 | and is not modern science fast destroying the one as it has already destroyed the other? |
46476 | and why do not I see them with my own eyes when they go up to heaven to fetch it? |
46476 | who brings it, makes it blow and roar and terrify us? |
27237 | Know ye not that we shall judge angels? |
27237 | ''Know ye not that we shall judge angels?'' |
27237 | 10)? |
27237 | 10)? |
27237 | 2, 3),''Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world?'' |
27237 | 21), than his having so cruelly and unjustly suffered at the hands of sinful men? |
27237 | 4), why should we not believe that the sufferings of those poor Africans, who are equally children of God, had like effect? |
27237 | Are we to think that this transaction both begins and ends here? |
27237 | But it will be asked, in what way? |
27237 | But why did Christ say,"This_ is_ my body,""This_ is_ my blood"? |
27237 | If, as we have argued, it is needful that even the elect should be judged, much rather must judgment overtake the unbelieving and the unrighteous? |
27237 | Moreover, St. Paul writes to the Corinthians:"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?" |
27237 | Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? |
27237 | The first question to consider is, Why is the tempting spirit called a_ serpent_? |
27237 | Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? |
27237 | This inference might be accepted as abstractedly true; but then the question arises, What is meant by_ duration_ as signified by the word''eternal''? |
27237 | What is the meaning of"testament"in these passages, and how is the testament related to the"blood"of Jesus Christ? |
27237 | What then are we to understand by the assertion that"through the disobedience of one man the many were made sinners"? |
27237 | What, it may be asked, is the reason for this? |
27237 | When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? |
27237 | Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? |
27237 | or naked, and clothed thee? |
27237 | or thirsty, and gave thee drink? |
52414 | And then there would be no more Redeemer; for, from whom or what could that Redeemer redeem us? |
52414 | But then, who will look for logic in the dogmas of Christianity? |
52414 | But whence this unanimity? |
52414 | But why ask these questions? |
52414 | But yit I say, Mary whoos childe is this? |
52414 | Can any rational mind believe that these numerous, varied and even antagonistic petitions will be answered? |
52414 | For what could be the offer of the kingdoms of this world to him who made the world, and was already in possession of it?" |
52414 | His peasant blood rose to the surface and in his fear he cried,"Why hast thou forsaken me?" |
52414 | I pry the telle me, and that anon? |
52414 | If the prophecy referred to the Christ, how could it have any influence on Ahaz? |
52414 | Is it not absurd of the church to preach the immutable justice of God, and at the same time declare that sinners may escape punishment by prayer? |
52414 | Say me, Mary, this childys fadyr who is? |
52414 | Such phrases as"Why callest thou me good? |
52414 | Then whither did these adored beings ascend? |
52414 | Very good, but how can educated Catholics of today reconcile such truths with their actual scientific knowledge? |
52414 | xii, 9), and when at the time of the crucifixion, Jerusalem was in the hands of the Romans? |
52414 | xiii, 11)? |
52414 | xvii, 20; xxi, 21; Mark xi, 23; Luke xvii, 6)? |
32830 | And our present consideration is, What, on that resurrection, is the next thing which shall befall them? |
32830 | And that this is so held up, who that knows his Bible can for a moment doubt? |
32830 | And why? |
32830 | Are we likely to know much of it? |
32830 | Besides, how then would the Lord''s promise to the thief be fulfilled? |
32830 | But to the believer, who has died in the Lord, what is the judgment? |
32830 | But to what end? |
32830 | For who knows whither the departed spirit has betaken itself when it has left us here? |
32830 | How can it be true that while others shall rise to a resurrection of judgment, he shall rise to a resurrection of life? |
32830 | How could one endowed with them ever remain idle? |
32830 | Now ask yourselves, what does the child at its play know of the employments of the man? |
32830 | Now what is our present state with reference to Him whom all Christians love? |
32830 | Of mankind in glory, thus perfected, what shall be the employ? |
32830 | This sight of Christ, this calm of full unbroken assurance of His nearness and presence, what does it further imply? |
32830 | Was it merely that they might be saved? |
32830 | Well then, again, what do we know of this body of the resurrection? |
32830 | Well, and what then? |
32830 | Well, what then? |
32830 | What a restless, ardent, many- handed thing is genius even here below? |
32830 | What do we know of this body? |
32830 | What do we know of time, except as calculated by earthly objects? |
32830 | What does he say to his well- beloved Gaius? |
32830 | What is, what will be, the Lord doing in that state of blessedness? |
32830 | What more do we know of it? |
32830 | What, then, are we to say respecting this apparent discrepancy in the statements of Holy Scripture concerning the dead in Christ? |
32830 | What, then, was His resurrection body? |
32830 | When shall it come to an end? |
32830 | Will He be idle like the gods of Epicurus, sitting serene above all, and separate from all, created things? |
32830 | for what purpose? |
15563 | ''Am I anywhere? |
15563 | ''Am I in the brain? |
15563 | ''Do I ever cease to think,''says the mind to itself,''even in sleep? |
15563 | ''Where do I exist?'' |
15563 | Am I in the whole body? |
15563 | Am I nowhere?'' |
15563 | And after all, what else, in either case, could answer the purpose, if( as already said) this world be the school of training of man''s moral nature? |
15563 | Are men wo nt thus quietly to admit miraculous pretensions, whether they be prejudiced votaries of another system or sceptics as to all? |
15563 | Are the evidences, then, in behalf of Christianity less of a nature which man can appreciate? |
15563 | How can he be sure that the truths he receives are established by evidence which, to all appearance, equally authenticates the falsehoods he rejects? |
15563 | How else could the discipline of his faculties, the exercise of patience, humility, and fortitude, be secured? |
15563 | How long will it be before the Swedenborgian, or the Mormonite, or any such pretenders, will have similar success? |
15563 | Is it not fair to suppose that many apparent discrepancies of the same order may be eventually removed by similar evidence? |
15563 | Is not my essence thought?'' |
15563 | Is not this, according to the old proverb to''take a hatchet to break an egg''? |
15563 | Is there, therefore, none true? |
15563 | None to question and detect, as the process went on, the utter baselessness of these legends? |
15563 | Or why should we not fairly confess that, for aught we can tell, the whole is a fiction? |
15563 | Very true; but what remedy? |
15563 | Was all the world doting-- was even the persecuting world asleep? |
15563 | Was there no Dr. Strauss in those days? |
15563 | Were all mankind resolved on befooling themselves? |
15563 | What proof is there of this? |
15563 | What, then, is to harmonise these conflicting statements? |
15563 | Who would not sooner be an old- fashioned infidel than such a doting and maundering rationalist? |
15563 | Why were you so much more scrupulous in relation to ME?'' |

30876 | Good Master, what must I do to inherit Eternal Life? |
30876 | An organism might remain true to its Environment, but what if the Environment played it false? |
30876 | And what does the Life- science teach? |
30876 | And why? |
30876 | Breathing now an atmosphere of ineffable Purity, shall he miss becoming pure? |
30876 | But what determines them? |
30876 | But what if the Environment passed away altogether? |
30876 | Can we go on in the teeth of so real an obstruction? |
30876 | Communion with God-- can it be demonstrated in terms of Science that this is a correspondence which will never break? |
30876 | Has not our own weapon turned against us, Science abolishing with authoritative hand the very truth we are asking it to define? |
30876 | If then from this point there is to be any further Evolution, this surely must be the correspondence in which it shall take place? |
30876 | In a word, Is the Christian conception of Eternal Life scientific? |
30876 | In vital contact with Holiness, shall he not become holy? |
30876 | Is Evolution to stop with the organic? |
30876 | Is it not possible that these biological truths may carry with them the clue to a still profounder philosophy-- even that of Regeneration? |
30876 | Is not this the precise quality in an Eternal correspondence which the analogies of Science would prepare us to look for? |

30876 | Might we not all confess with Ulysses,--"I am a part of all that I have met?" |
30876 | Reaching out his eager and quickened faculties to the spiritual world around him, shall he not become spiritual? |
30876 | Shall death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, arrest or tamper with his eternal correspondences? |
30876 | Shall these"changes in the physical state of the environment"which threaten death to the natural man destroy the spiritual? |
30876 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" |
30876 | This correspondence-- or this set of correspondences, for it is very complex-- is it not that to which men with one consent would attach Eternal Life? |
30876 | To know God, to be linked with God, to be linked with Eternity-- if this is not the"eternal existence"of biology, what can more nearly approach it? |
30876 | Walking with God from day to day, shall he fail to be taught of God? |
30876 | What am I to believe? |

45952 | But when did Israel embody such a conception? |
45952 | Can we be certain, without examining the facts, to what lines the revelation of God is to be restricted? |
45952 | Can we trace within this more limited circle a movement that shall in any way prepare us for the appearance of men of the type of Amos? |
45952 | Could He not use the early legends which they believed, and through them bring the truth to men? |
45952 | Could not God speak to man in his infancy, and with the growing understanding would there not be growing light? |
45952 | Did Jesus ever read that Book, or were its ideas at all commonly known? |

45952 | Is any such antithesis necessary? |
45952 | Is such a thing as its reception by the Hebrews credible on this account? |

26643 | And how did He come forth from the grave? |
26643 | And what do we possess who have believed on Him, own Him as our Saviour and our Substitute? |
26643 | And what was the purpose of the incarnation? |

29288 | Who, then, has caused that this star lights the day, warms man at his work and vivifies the seeds sown in the ground? |
29288 | Why dost not thou perform a miracle,replied the priests,"and let thy God confound ours, if He is greater than they?" |

29288 | And now comes another question: Why should he, a prince, have attached himself to the Israelites? |

29288 | Could you not tell me anything about him?" |
29288 | Has he the repute of a saint?" |
29288 | How did this legend take root? |
29288 | How otherwise could his great legislative work, his broad views, his high administrative qualities be satisfactorily explained? |

4323 | Are you willing that people should call you a''holiness crank''? |
4323 | For what are you weeping, old man? |

4323 | Where did He abuse anyone? |
4323 | Who now will prove his love for Him by obeying His commands? |
4323 | Why are we not as considerate and polite to those who are all the world to us as we are to strangers and neighbors? |
4323 | Why this community of feeling between men of such diverse stations in life? |
4323 | Why, how can the ministers say anything when they are the chaplains of these gilt- edged frauds called"lodges"? |
4323 | Would he not be justified in telegraphing that he would not come until a day or so later than expected? |

18558 | And Andrew said,''There is a boy herewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so many?'' |

30573 | Does it ever come to your lips? |
30573 | Has God failed to keep His promise? |
30573 | Has He been unable or unwilling to keep His promise? |
30573 | Have you the faith and sincerity to do it? |
30573 | Is this prayer in your heart? |

51888 | But who( says Malachi,) may abide the day of His coming, or who shall stand when He appeareth? 51888 Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? |
51888 | A question, therefore, once more arises, what is meant by"the elements?" |
51888 | And how were these predictions fulfilled? |
51888 | And many of those who hear of it may be expected to deny it, according to his own words:"When the Son of Man cometh shall He find faith on the earth?" |
51888 | And now we ask, Are the stars to be rolled away, or are they to fall upon the earth? |
51888 | And over what is He thus to reign? |
51888 | And the question then arises: What benefit can mankind derive from the destruction of this material world? |
51888 | But does the change here supposed in the constitution of the world, require its dissolution? |
51888 | But how can these melt, or be melted?--Can_ fire_ melt with fervent heat? |
51888 | But how can_ one element_ be denominated_ the elements_? |
51888 | But how is He to reign for ever over the kingdoms of the world, if the world and its kingdoms are to be destroyed? |
51888 | But if this trumpet is not a_ material_ one, then let the defenders of the literal meaning tell us what is a spiritual trumpet? |
51888 | But is it in these that the Lord is to descend? |
51888 | Can air, then, melt? |
51888 | Can water melt? |
51888 | Did the events_ literally_ take place? |
51888 | How, then, we again ask, are spiritual beings to descend in a_ material_ vapor? |
51888 | Is another race of men to be created? |
51888 | Is it, then, to be the habitation of the righteous of the present earth? |
51888 | Is it_ material_, or is it_ not_? |
51888 | Is six or eight miles above the surface of the globe, heaven? |
51888 | Now the question is, to what authority or kingdom do these predictions refer? |
51888 | On what authority, then, is the literal meaning of the first_ rejected_, while in the other it is retained and believed? |
51888 | Or can bodies which seldom rise beyond this elevation, be properly called the clouds of heaven? |
51888 | Or is this the glory with which the Lord is to be invested-- the vapors which rise from the material globe? |
51888 | Since it is believed that the succession of man will cease with_ this_ earth, why should_ another_ earth be formed? |
51888 | Since, then, it will not suit the departed righteous, and another race is not to be formed, why, we continue to ask, will this new earth be created? |
51888 | The question again arises: What are we to understand by these? |
51888 | We are, therefore, justified in asking, for what purpose is this new material system created? |
51888 | We have seen that_ love_ was the cause of the world''s creation; but what motive, I ask, can lead to its destruction? |
51888 | What gives to reason( the eye of the mind) its power of discerning spiritual things? |
51888 | What then are we to make of the description before us,--of this_ trumpet_ with which the Lord is to descend? |
51888 | What would result if they only came within a short distance of it? |
51888 | Why are not both to be understood alike, since in both the descriptions are similar? |
51888 | Why is the first to be resolved into figure, while the latter is considered as literally true? |
51888 | Why, then, should not the change from evil to good, be effected in like manner as the change from good to evil? |
51888 | _ Who was Swedenborg?_ By O. P. Hiller. |

40458 | How often would I have gathered thy children together even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not? |
40458 | Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? |
40458 | Is not this the carpenter''s son? 40458 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? |
40458 | Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? |
40458 | A little later it is said:"And none of the disciples durst ask Him, Who art Thou? |
40458 | And His brethren James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?" |
40458 | And yet should not the ideal of the heavenly Father be higher than that of the earthly father? |
40458 | And yet, why is it sung, except on that supposition? |
40458 | But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the_ Son of Man_ with a kiss?" |
40458 | But if He had appeared in His natural form, how could any of the apostles have doubted as to whether the apparition was He or some other person? |
40458 | But if the good are to be confined to the weapon of moral suasion, how long will it be until the powers of evil are in full control? |
40458 | But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? |
40458 | Can it be supposed that the fulsome adulation with which it is filled can be pleasing to the God of the universe? |
40458 | Hath not the Scripture said that Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? |
40458 | How far has modern Christianity kept undefiled the pure religion of the Great Nazarene? |
40458 | How many of our wars would have lacked advocates, if they had been obliged to plead their cause under the principles of the Sermon on the Mount? |
40458 | If the"universal tradition of the church"is not to be believed on this point, of what value is it on any other? |
40458 | If this be true, should we not look for the beam in our own eye, before we criticize Germany for starting the Great War? |
40458 | In putting to Jesus the question:"Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar or not?" |
40458 | Is not His mother called Mary? |
40458 | Jesus then"went forth and said unto them, Whom seek ye? |
40458 | Matthew''s narrative covers seventeen verses, and John recognizes Jesus, for he says,"I have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me?" |
40458 | Nathaniel''s reply is:"Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" |
40458 | On the approach of the band, Jesus comes forth and says,"Whom seek ye? |
40458 | Or was he a religious zealot, trying to force Jesus''hand? |
40458 | Or, What shall we drink? |
40458 | Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? |

40458 | They ask her,"Why weepest thou?" |

40458 | Was he simply a traitor, seeking to sell his Lord and Master for a price? |
40458 | What motives can be substituted for those that will have the same compelling, driving force? |
40458 | What promise has the future to prevent the recurrence of such evils? |
40458 | Why did the mighty forces of Christianity fail to work with any practical effect at this, their supreme test-- the prevention of war? |

26691 | Ah, dear reader, do you not see your inheritance in this? |
26691 | Are you going to yield? |
26691 | Brother and sister, have you had your Pentecost? |
26691 | But did not Paul say of himself when under grace that he kept his body under and brought it into subjection? |
26691 | But must I give up these treasures, these sacred things of my heart for thee? |
26691 | But what of our treasures? |
26691 | By J. W. BYERS Printed in 1902 by GOSPEL TRUMPET COMPANY CONTENTS What Is Sanctification? |
26691 | CHAPTER IX Holiness= Holiness an attribute of God.="Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? |
26691 | Can a person be restored to this experience of sanctification if it should be lost? |
26691 | Can a person lose the experience of sanctification? |
26691 | Can not I have both them and thee? |
26691 | Can we not say with deep, heartfelt reality,"Hallelujah for the cleansing; It has reached my inmost soul"? |
26691 | Dear brother, are you at Kadesh Barnea today, and afraid of the giants? |
26691 | Dear reader, have you attained it, or are you yet living beneath your blood- bought privilege? |
26691 | Dear soul, can this be said of you? |
26691 | Did not Paul say there was sin dwelling in him? |
26691 | Do they not testify that the first work of grace is not deep enough? |
26691 | Do we not grow into sanctification and therefore reach it gradually? |
26691 | Does not the Bible say,"If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us"? |
26691 | Does not the word of God say that"from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,"etc.? |
26691 | Does not the word of God teach that"Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not"; and"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin"? |
26691 | Does not this indicate that his body was yet sinful? |
26691 | Does not this signify all that can possibly be comprehended in justification? |
26691 | Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?" |
26691 | Have you ceased from your own works? |
26691 | Have you finished the work? |
26691 | He asks the question,"Lovest thou me more than these?" |
26691 | He gave himself for the church that he might sanctify and cleanse it; and now how can you withhold anything from him? |
26691 | How about Solomon, who said,"There is not a just man upon the earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not"? |
26691 | How can one keep free from evil thoughts? |
26691 | How can we understand the seventh chapter of Romans to harmonize with the doctrine of holiness? |
26691 | How may we keep sanctified? |
26691 | How may we know definitely that we are sanctified? |
26691 | If Jesus was not sanctified until his death, how can we be? |
26691 | If in this case the old tree were a reasonable being that could co- operate with the gardener, what would the gardener''s language be to it? |
26691 | In case a person shall unfortunately sustain such a loss, how long would it take to become restored? |
26691 | In order to properly apply scripture it is very helpful to always consider: 1. Who wrote it? |
26691 | Is every child at birth sinful by nature? |
26691 | Is not every mistake a sin? |
26691 | Now comes the searching and far- reaching question: Are you willing to make this consecration? |
26691 | Now if we ask them if they believe in a second work of grace, what will they answer us? |
26691 | Of whom or to whom was it written? |
26691 | The question is simply left with us, Will we enter in or will we not? |
26691 | To Whom Is This Promised? |
26691 | Upon his first acquaintance with the brethren at Ephesus he asked them the question,"Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" |
26691 | What do we hear? |
26691 | What is it? |
26691 | When was it written? |
26691 | Which will it be? |
26691 | Who could consistently believe that God would dwell in a corrupt heart? |
26691 | Why do we not get it all when we are justified? |
26691 | Why then should any of us come short of entering into this blessed covenant of an entire consecration and receiving the fulfillment of the promise? |
26691 | Will you have it, or will you not? |
26691 | with my whole heart and die the death and gain the abundant life? |
37699 | _ That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same?_( Ps. |
37699 | And why? |
37699 | Are we reasonable men in the nineteenth century in the United States of America and believe this? |
37699 | But they say to us,"If you throw away the Bible what are we to depend on then?" |
37699 | Can a God who would accept such a sacrifice be worthy of the worship of civilized men? |
37699 | Can the believing husband in heaven look down upon the torments of the unbelieving wife in hell and then feel a thrill of joy? |
37699 | Did it never occur to you what a contradiction it is to say that the devil will persecute his own friends? |
37699 | Did you ever hear of a man going to hell who died in New York worth a million of dollars, or with an income of twenty- five thousand a year? |
37699 | Did you ever hear of a man going to hell who rode in a carriage? |
37699 | Did you ever hear the story of Jepthah''s daughter? |
37699 | Do you know nobody would have had an idea of hell in this world if it had n''t been for volcanoes? |
37699 | Do you wish further examples of a God of mercy? |
37699 | Does any one believe that now? |
37699 | Does it teach a man to resist oppression? |
37699 | Does it teach a man to tear from the throne of tyranny the crowned thing and robber called a king? |
37699 | Does it treat woman as she ought to be treated, or is it barbarian? |
37699 | Does n''t the credit system in morals breed extravagance in sin? |
37699 | Does the Bible give woman her rights? |
37699 | Does the Bible teach mercy? |
37699 | Does the Bible teach the existence of devils? |
37699 | Does the Bible teach you freedom of religion? |
37699 | Has he? |
37699 | He wants all the recruits he can get; why then should he persecute his friends? |
37699 | I read:"_ I will make mine arrows drunk with blood; and my sword shall devour flesh?_"( Deut. |
37699 | If the religion of one hundred years ago, compared with the religion of to- day is so low, what will it be in one thousand years? |
37699 | If these words are necessary why are they not written now everywhere in the world, on every tree, and every field, and on every blade of grass? |
37699 | Is it the doctrine of the Bible? |
37699 | Is there a burial- service mentioned in it in which a word of hope is spoken at the grave of the dead? |
37699 | Is there in the history of the world a sadder story than that? |
37699 | Is this Bible humane? |
37699 | It is true I have devoured a few men, but for what other purpose were men made?" |
37699 | Neither was the man created for the woman._"Well, what was he created for? |
37699 | Now what does the New Testament teach? |
37699 | Now, does this Bible teach political freedom, or does it teach political tyranny? |
37699 | Now, what does the Bible teach? |
37699 | She arose and asked"Who says that?" |
37699 | Should not the merciful God practice what he preaches? |
37699 | Suppose then that Smith should say to Brown,"You''re a liar,"and Brown should reply to Smith,"And you''re a liar,"what would you think? |
37699 | The great, the rich, the powerful? |
37699 | Then why torment him if it will not do him good? |
37699 | They seem to say:"Aha, what did I tell you?" |
37699 | This sacred book, this foundation of human liberty, of morality, does it teach concubinage and polygamy? |
37699 | Various reasons are given for punishing the wicked? |
37699 | What changed it? |
37699 | What does this same book with its glad tidings of great joy for all people say of the rights of children? |
37699 | What harm has it not done? |
37699 | What is it? |
37699 | What is that plan? |
37699 | What sort of a law must it be that would be satisfied with the suffering of innocence? |
37699 | What waste places has it not made? |
37699 | Who go to hell? |
37699 | Who''s afraid of punishment which is so far away? |
37699 | Whom does the doctrine of hell stop? |
37699 | Why should he say"Forgive your enemies"if he will not himself forgive? |
37699 | Why should he say"Pray for those that despise and persecute you, but if they refuse to believe my doctrine I will burn them for ever?" |
37699 | Why? |
37699 | Why? |
37699 | Why? |
37699 | Why? |
37699 | Would I have a right to torture it because I made it? |
28401 | Are there no Marks of Pain besides those of crying aloud? |
28401 | But if all Things are in themselves equally Good, where is the Use to_ appoint_, or the Sense of talking about it? |
28401 | But what then, Is no Inference thence to be made? |
28401 | But will the Doctor say, they have therefore no painful Sensations? |
28401 | Consider Beasts, then, as God''s own Property; will that render it a whit more equitable? |
28401 | Hath not God, by his own Decree of Damnation, set them an Example? |
28401 | Hear now, O House of Israel, Is not my Way equal? |
28401 | How can these Reasons operate as to a Part, and have no Influence as to the Remainder? |
28401 | If having this Faith be no certain Mark, because a Man may depart from it, what Proof have they? |
28401 | If not, and they sometimes suffer by Pain and Abuse, why may not Infants do the same? |
28401 | If so, what is become of the infinite Being, that was to_ suffer_ for Sin; for does God make Satisfaction to himself? |
28401 | My natural Strength of Body may be equal to four hundred Weight; but what can this avail, while I am continually pressed down by four thousand? |
28401 | The Brute Creation undergo Pain and Affliction; is_ Adam''s_ Sin, therefore, imputed to them? |
28401 | Was it then_ only_ the Person, or_ rational Soul_ of_ Jesus Christ_, that suffered, being upheld under it, by the infinite Being himself? |
28401 | What would you think of a Man, who is a Villain to- day, and boasts much of his great Honesty tomorrow? |
28401 | Where is the Use of_ Reason_, or_ Moral Agency_, in Man, if another be substituted to act in his Stead, and not he himself? |

28401 | and where then is the Reason, for such very different Treatment of Infants and adult Persons? |
28401 | are not your Ways unequal?_ Ver. |
28401 | saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his Ways and live?_ Ver. |
28401 | will he, under such Penalties, command Men to do thus, and not do so himself?" |
6657 | Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
6657 | And how was it with the Jews? |
6657 | And if this be true, how is it possible that such a heart in which Father, Son and Holy Ghost abide, should not be sanctified wholly? |
6657 | And what is the perfection which is predicated of the essence of God? |
6657 | And with this agree the words of the Psalmist,"Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? |
6657 | And, therefore, we ask again when is this indispensable gift to be obtained? |
6657 | Are we not, then, in an absolutely hopeless condition? |
6657 | But why sunder this verse from its appropriate connections? |
6657 | Do we say that He can not perform it before death; then where is His omnipotence? |
6657 | Do we say that He will not do it before death; then where is His own holiness? |
6657 | Does not Habakkuk answer beautifully to this description? |
6657 | For what purpose is this fiery baptism with the Holy Ghost? |
6657 | He might have said where is my evidence that it will do any good to try? |
6657 | Here is our title of nobility, beloved, and who of us would exchange it for an earldom, or a dukedom or a kingdom? |
6657 | If this does not mean entire sanctification, what use is there in language as an expression of thought? |
6657 | If this is not the true liberty and the true royalty, where shall we find them? |
6657 | In the Twenty- fourth Psalm, David asks the question"Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? |
6657 | Is it not most reasonable and most fit that He should require all who are to dwell with Him forever in that holy place, to be holy also? |
6657 | It inquires"What good thing shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" |
6657 | On one occasion we are told that a lawyer asked Jesus"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
6657 | Or, rather, what is His essence itself? |
6657 | The prophet Amos exclaims most pertinently,"Can two walk together unless they be agreed?" |
6657 | Was ever more holiness crowded into a single verse? |
6657 | What more natural than that those who are expecting to inherit a holy heaven, should themselves seek while here to become a holy people? |
6657 | What, then, are the sacrifices which are to be offered by the Christian Priest? |
6657 | Why? |
6657 | or who shall stand in His holy place?" |
6657 | or who shall stand in His holy place?" |
41500 | But where? |
41500 | But who do you say that I am? |
41500 | Did I not tell thee,said the Master,"that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?" |
41500 | Do you ask that of yourself,said the persecuted but heroic prisoner,"or did others tell it of me?" |
41500 | Galilee? |
41500 | I have done many good works,He continued,"for which of those works do you stone me?" |
41500 | If they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
41500 | Then what is Truth? |
41500 | What does He look like? |
41500 | What is the charge against Him? 41500 What shall I ask of him?" |
41500 | What shall we do? |
41500 | When does He come, and from whence? |
41500 | Where is He now? |
41500 | Why do the people shout? |
41500 | Why,--they stoned you and you had to fly just now,--will you risk going back? |
41500 | Will He be welcomed or stoned? |
41500 | Again:"If I do not care for my soul, who will do it for me?" |
41500 | And what did He say to the people standing on the shore? |
41500 | And who is this wonderful Hillel of whom Testament writers and teachers say almost nothing at all? |
41500 | Believest thou this? |
41500 | But were these things miracles? |
41500 | By a miracle could He not have destroyed all His enemies at a single blow? |
41500 | Could He not have prevented it? |
41500 | Do we know what a Miracle is? |
41500 | Do we know what a Miracle is? |
41500 | Do we know what a miracle is? |
41500 | Do you believe me?" |
41500 | Does he dream that this youth in Galilee is possibly the child the shepherds told of that wonderful night? |
41500 | Does he wonder if they are somewhere in hiding yet? |
41500 | Does not this tradition and Pilate''s alarm add strength to the supposition that years of His life had passed in the secret of the desert? |
41500 | Had His origin, His identity been kept a secret? |
41500 | Hast thou faith?" |
41500 | If He was not much in the desert in these unknown years, where then was He, that no one tells of Him? |
41500 | In a tone of overwhelming sadness He asked His twelve apostles"if they too would leave Him"? |
41500 | Is He again in His hermit cave now beyond the Jordan? |
41500 | Is it doing it to- day? |
41500 | Is it not altogether possible, almost certain, that these long absences were in the wilderness of the desert? |
41500 | Is the Child''s escape at Bethlehem still a secret? |
41500 | Is the Child''s escape at Bethlehem still a secret? |
41500 | John has heard anew of the Master''s triumphs, and two friends are sent to Him to ask if He is indeed the Christ--"or, do we look for another?" |
41500 | Now he is astounded, and alarmed, for where had Jesus been all these years? |
41500 | One day walking on a country road He asked His disciples who the people really said He was? |
41500 | Then He said something harder still,"If this about the flesh and blood startles you, what would you say to see me ascending up where I was?" |
41500 | To- morrow this young carpenter, this village doctor, will again disappear in the wilderness of the desert; who knows how long? |
41500 | Two of these men followed the mysterious stranger, saying,"Master, where dwellest Thou?" |
41500 | Was it all a blank these long years? |
41500 | Was there indeed nothing for Matthew, nor Mark, nor Luke, nor John, nor Josephus, nor anybody else to write about Him? |
41500 | What care the great religious doctors at the Sacred City? |
41500 | What has this man done?" |
41500 | What shall they do? |
41500 | Where was Jesus in these silent years? |
41500 | Where was Jesus in these silent years? |
41500 | Who ever heard of this Galilean carpenter anyway, or of His reforms? |
41500 | Who knows? |
41500 | Why not Jesus? |
41500 | Why not? |
41500 | Why should He not have been absent in some desert solitude, some wilderness, preparing for immortal deeds, immortal words? |
41500 | Would not the day soon be at hand when God himself, through some vicegerent, would come to the world and rule in pity? |
41500 | Would not the people rise, moved by His wonderful miracles, and at last put an end to all their religious pretenses? |
5954 | Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth--but who amongst us really believes it? |
5954 | Blessed are the pure in heart--and how many of us are that? |
5954 | Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness''sake--is that_ your_ ambition, or mine? |
5954 | Can ye drink of the Cup that I drink of? |
5954 | Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? 5954 O ye of little faith, wherefore did ye doubt?" |
5954 | An influence from on high? |
5954 | And does His teaching about GOD fare any better? |
5954 | And in that climax of a vision, which, if we are faithful, shall be prophecy, what is it that has happened? |
5954 | And what is meant by preparing the way of the Lord? |
5954 | But is such an ideal really practicable? |
5954 | Do we really share Christ''s outlook upon GOD, or His hope for man? |
5954 | GOD was to Jesus Christ the one Reality that mattered; is that in any serious sense true of us? |
5954 | Had not the Lord said,"Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not"? |
5954 | Have we never, like the crowds who joined in the hue- and- cry, followed a multitude to do evil? |
5954 | If we ask,"Why does not GOD prevent war? |
5954 | If we ask,"Why should the innocent suffer?" |
5954 | Is it not just the question: What is the nature or character of the ultimate Power or Principle or Person upon which or upon whom the world depends? |
5954 | Is not every religion, every imagined deity, in one sense an altar to the unknown GOD? |
5954 | Is our view of life centred in GOD, as was His? |
5954 | Meanwhile what of Jesus Himself-- this Christ, through their relationship to whom they had come by this new experience of the reality of GOD? |
5954 | Might children be admitted to membership in infancy, or must they wait until they were adult? |
5954 | Or do His words of reproach fit us, as they fitted S. Peter--"You think like a man, and not like GOD"? |
5954 | The question is sometimes asked,"If GOD is omnipotent, why does He permit evil?" |
5954 | To what purpose is this overlapping and conflict? |
5954 | We are really raising a much more difficult question if we ask,"Why does GOD allow cancer?" |
5954 | We who call ourselves Christians, do we seriously believe these things? |
5954 | What did He mean? |
5954 | What does it mean to confess the Deity of Christ? |
5954 | What does it mean? |
5954 | What in relation to these problems is the message of the Christian Church? |
5954 | What is the real question, the most fundamental of questions, which arises when we seek to interpret the world we live in? |
5954 | What is the will of GOD for humanity? |
5954 | What was His relation to man, and to GOD? |
5954 | Who or what was it? |
5954 | Who was He? |
5954 | Why can not they agree to sink their differences, and to unite upon the broad basis of a common loyalty to Christ? |
5954 | Why does He permit murder and cruelty and rapine?" |
5954 | Why should a child grow up in heathenism? |
5954 | With S. Peter they find themselves saying to Christ,"Lord, to whom shall we go? |
26003 | And what is that? 26003 Why seek ye the living among the dead?" |
26003 | And if you now ask,"How will this revelation come?" |
26003 | And now can not you trust Jesus; this presence, this keeping presence? |
26003 | And now, what is the other side? |
26003 | And was that vision of Christ worth so much? |
26003 | And what does that mean? |
26003 | And why are we not obedient? |
26003 | And why? |
26003 | Are you going to take Him and to keep Him there, to give Him glory and let Him have His way? |
26003 | Are you ready to obey in all feebleness and weakness and fear? |
26003 | Are you ready to take this as your motto now,"_ Wholly for God_"? |
26003 | Are you willing to acknowledge that you are a fool for never having believed in Him? |
26003 | But how can I know that He will be with me always?" |
26003 | Can I always be thinking of Jesus? |
26003 | Can you say,"Yes, Lord Jesus, I will obey?" |
26003 | Christian, do you want peace and rest? |
26003 | Did you ever hear of a man loving another and not longing to reveal himself? |
26003 | Do let me try and impress this upon you: God has given you a loving, living Saviour, and how can He bless if you do not meet Him? |
26003 | Do you know what Christ said about a man calling his brother a fool? |
26003 | Do you know what another great mark of that stage is? |
26003 | How can you trust God fully until you have met Him and known Him? |
26003 | How comes it that it is so_ Difficult to be obedient_, and how comes it that I so often sin? |
26003 | How comes it then that they are disobedient again? |
26003 | How did the disciples get their burning hearts? |
26003 | How did they begin the morning that day? |
26003 | I ask my Master once again,"Lord Jesus, is that all?" |
26003 | If you were to ask the Lord,"Oh, my blessed Lord Christ, what must I do, how can I enjoy Thy never- failing presence?" |
26003 | Is not God enough? |
26003 | Is not that the secret of peace and happiness? |
26003 | Is there anything more I need to secure the enjoyment of Thine abiding presence?" |
26003 | Now comes the question which I really wanted to put,--What are the conditions under which our blessed Lord reveals Himself? |
26003 | Oh, why is it that our hearts often feel so cold and closed up, and so many of us say,"I do not feel called to Christ''s work"? |
26003 | Or, put it this way,--To whom is it that Jesus will reveal Himself? |
26003 | Tell me what is the character of the man to whom Christ will reveal Himself in this highest and fullest way?" |
26003 | The question is asked so often:"What is the cause of the feeble life of so many Christians?" |
26003 | There is a second answer that I think Christ would give if we come to Him believing, and say,"Is there anything more, my blessed Master?" |
26003 | Thou hast told me to believe, and to obey, and to abide near to Thee: what wouldst Thou have more?" |
26003 | We talk about holiness, but do you know what holiness is? |
26003 | What is actually the want? |
26003 | What is really the matter? |
26003 | What is that? |
26003 | What is that? |
26003 | What is the answer? |
26003 | What is the cause of all the trouble? |
26003 | What is the difference between a dead Christ, whom the women went to anoint, and a living Christ? |
26003 | When the Lord Jesus was here upon earth, what was it that distinguished His disciples from other people? |
26003 | Where does the disobedience come from? |
26003 | Where does the strength of so many come from? |
26003 | Why are there two upon the Throne? |
26003 | Why was my Lord Jesus taken up to heaven away from the life of earth? |
26003 | Why? |
26003 | Why? |
26003 | Why? |
26003 | Will He reveal Himself? |
26003 | Yes; but how can that peace be kept? |
26003 | You are marked with His blood, and he loves you; and can not you say,"My King, my King, He is with me all the days?" |
26003 | You ask me, How can that be? |
26003 | You ask,"Where ought I to begin?" |
26003 | You say that? |
26003 | You want the Lord Jesus to give you this full revelation of Himself? |
26003 | _ Is that your language?_ Oh! |
26003 | if I were to ask,"Is not this just what you and I want, and what many of us have been longing for?" |
26003 | my dear friend, has this been the spirit in which we have looked upon the wonderful blessing that we have sometimes heard of? |
26003 | sister, how will this revelation come? |
41650 | Can man be free,sang Shelley,"if woman be a slave?" |
41650 | --_Swinburne_ Is the Morality of Jesus Sound? |
41650 | A great deal depends upon the answer to the question,"Is the moral teaching of Jesus sound?" |
41650 | And because there is some good in all religions, shall we shut our eyes to the dangerous fallacies they contain? |
41650 | And have you not read in St. Paul''s Epistles, says the preacher again, that they who are married neglect the things of the Lord? |
41650 | And how did the deity come to let Caesar in as a partner? |
41650 | And how do we give unto God the things that belong to God? |
41650 | And must you refrain from passing any righteous judgments from fear of being misjudged or misunderstood by the world? |
41650 | And shall we hold our tongues on the terrible injustice and oppression all around us simply because there is also goodness and virtue among men? |
41650 | And upon what terms will the priest condescend to pilot us to our invisible and aerial mansions? |
41650 | And we repeatedly come across the phrase,"heavenly Jerusalem"in the New Testament, as the name of the abode of the blessed? |
41650 | And what are_ you_ doing? |
41650 | And what do these religions offer in place of the home, the love, the world, which they take away from us? |
41650 | And what do we offer in place of supernaturalism, whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Mohammedanism, Brahmanism, or any other"ism"? |
41650 | And what was the use of trying to get acquainted with, or interested in, a world about to be abandoned? |
41650 | And what will there be left for us after God and Caesar have had each his share? |
41650 | And where will the charity come from, if all men were to follow the advice of Jesus and cultivate poverty? |
41650 | And why did he say to his disciples that for the people who rejected them there awaited the awful fate of Sodom and Gomorrah? |
41650 | And why,--why should any religion beg for charity? |
41650 | And why? |
41650 | And_ you_? |
41650 | But did not Jesus pray for his murderers on the cross? |
41650 | But did not Jesus say"Love one another,"and is not that enough? |
41650 | But is that any reason why we should be content with what little justice or truth there is in the world, and not strive for more? |
41650 | But one moment: Is a coin Caesar''s because his superscription is upon it? |
41650 | But suppose the thief on the cross had said to Jesus when the latter invited him to paradise:"But, what about my victims, Lord? |
41650 | But who shall save Jehovah? |
41650 | But why should I? |
41650 | But why should anything in the bible be meant to be thrown away? |
41650 | Can anything be more arbitrary or fatalistic? |
41650 | Can anything be more immoral? |
41650 | Can we love the slanderer, the oppressor, the murderer? |
41650 | Christ or no Christ,--can we still be kind and just and compassionate toward the weak and the unfortunate? |
41650 | Could such an alarmist be a sane moral teacher? |
41650 | Did Jesus love his enemies? |
41650 | Do you have to judge another with the same prejudice, bigotry and malice with which he judges you? |
41650 | Do you not know that it is written in the Word of God that,"Here we have no abiding City?" |
41650 | Have you not heard that Jesus said:"Labor not for the meat that perisheth?" |
41650 | How can I be happy in heaven, with my victims in hell-- to whom I gave no chance in the last hour to believe and be saved? |
41650 | If God is a father, what mother can be on an equality with him? |
41650 | If Jesus has this power-- why is Europe still armed to the teeth? |
41650 | If a man has slandered you, must you slander him? |
41650 | If everything is to be done for Jesus''sake, what will become of morality, civilization or humanity with Jesus dropped out? |
41650 | If we give it to the priests, will it reach God-- and how much of it will reach him? |
41650 | If you have been robbed, must you rob in return? |
41650 | In the clouds? |
41650 | In the ether? |
41650 | In the stars? |
41650 | Is it because she is stronger and can therefore endure more suffering than the man? |
41650 | Is it not a perverse doctrine that associates beggary with moral perfection? |
41650 | Is it not our duty as well as our privilege to labor for a more rational and a more ennobling faith? |
41650 | Is it not rather the property of the man who has earned it by his labor? |
41650 | Is it reasonable to go to a provincial of this description for_ universal_ ideals? |
41650 | Is not this pernicious teaching? |
41650 | Let us ask the priest: Where then_ is_ our home? |
41650 | Moreover, if we are to tell the things that belong to Caesar by the stamp upon them, how are we to tell the things that belong to God? |
41650 | Of what use is property in a world soon to be set on fire? |
41650 | Pardon me if I use a stronger expression-- why should any part of the Word of God be destined for the garbage box? |
41650 | Shall Caesar claim everything that he can put his stamp upon? |
41650 | Simply because the human race keeps going as it is, shall we not endeavor to improve it? |
41650 | Was his prayer answered? |
41650 | Was not Jesus recommending the blind worship of force when he told them to respect Caesar''s name? |
41650 | What became of the other? |
41650 | What is the evidence? |
41650 | What is the use of talking about divorce when marriage is forbidden? |
41650 | What is there in poverty to entitle a man to eternal life? |
41650 | What would become of this preacher''s interest in his fellowmen, should he ever lose his faith in Christ? |
41650 | Where? |
41650 | Who would care to accumulate wealth, who would care to marry, or rear children, on a sinking ship? |
41650 | Why should she be struck a heavier and a more crushing blow? |
41650 | Why then was not Judas saved? |
41650 | You are also familiar with the story of the men who came to Jesus to ask him whether they should pay tribute to Caesar? |
41650 | [ 4][ 4] Read the author''s_ The Truth About Jesus-- Is He a Myth?_ Let us recapitulate: Jesus taught a magical, not a scientific morality. |
30119 | What was I to do? 30119 Who tells them that the Westminster Confession of Faith is a model of noble writing?" |
30119 | Again:"Does any one ask what is the difference between_ bringing_ to pass, and_ permitting_ to come to pass? |
30119 | And does he wonder whether God will, in addition to pardoning him, raise him to those high relationships to the Godhead to which he has raised others? |
30119 | And does the inquiry arise in your mind whether the act to which you are tempted is according to the will of God? |
30119 | And how can we avoid adopting as a legitimate conclusion, the licentious infidel maxim, that"WHATEVER IS, IS RIGHT"? |
30119 | And what is the effect of the Calvinistic theory of predestination upon the doctrine of_ regeneration_? |
30119 | And where is his_ benevolence_, when he freely chooses, prefers, ordains, and brings to pass all the sin and misery in the universe? |
30119 | Are his decrees wrong? |
30119 | Are they prepared to acknowledge that they have abandoned Calvinism and run into Arminianism? |
30119 | Are you tempted to indulge in sensuality, or to defraud your neighbor, and even to assassinate him? |
30119 | But do I not repeat an Arminian slander when I charge them with partially concealing or disguising the doctrine? |
30119 | But for what shall they atone? |
30119 | But of what use are precepts or prohibitions if every act of every individual is fixed beforehand by the Divine decrees? |
30119 | But what says this doctrine? |
30119 | But, view it in the light of the doctrine that God has decreed whatsoever comes to pass, and what does it amount to? |
30119 | Do they mean to say that there is no difference between these systems on the point in question? |
30119 | Does a sinner tremble at the word of God? |
30119 | Does he ask her what objections she has to this doctrine and offer to refute them? |
30119 | Does he directly and promptly deny that Calvinism teaches this doctrine? |
30119 | Does he think it to be a wonderful stretch of condescension and mercy in God to forgive his innumerable and grievous offences? |
30119 | For what is pardon offered? |
30119 | For what shall we pray? |
30119 | Has the man who is seeking with penitence and prayer the favor of God profoundly humbling views of himself? |
30119 | He is commenting upon what he calls"the third solution"of the question,"For what reason has God permitted sin to enter the universe?" |
30119 | He is infinitely_ benevolent_; will he not choose, then, that_ shall take place_ which he knows is FOR THE BEST? |
30119 | He is infinitely_ powerful_; can he not, therefore, cause_ to take place_ what he_ chooses shall take place_? |
30119 | He is made to feel the force of the inspired declaration that the way of transgressors is hard, and to ponder the advantages of reformation? |
30119 | How can any man need pardon if this doctrine be true? |
30119 | How did they come by the knowledge of God''s secret decree? |
30119 | How then do they preserve the antagonism of the two creeds? |
30119 | If all beings do as God has decreed, upon what ground can God punish any of them, then, in futurity? |
30119 | Is it necessary to tell us, gravely, that God permits to come to pass that which from all eternity he freely ordained shall come to pass? |
30119 | Is not a being the author of that which he originally designs and decrees, and subsequently brings into existence? |
30119 | Need I add that, in view of the Calvinistic doctrine of decrees, the doctrine of atonement by the sufferings and death of Christ is absolute nonsense? |
30119 | Nor that other question-- Is sin the necessary means of the greatest good? |
30119 | Of sinning? |
30119 | Of what shall we repent? |
30119 | Or, if unable to revoke, or induce him to revoke his decrees, will they be able to defeat them by machinations or physical resistance? |
30119 | Shall I be favored with those blessed intimacies-- those varied and manifold advantages of which that relation is the guaranty? |
30119 | Shall we pray that God may accomplish them? |
30119 | Should I wish to re- write-- to alter-- one? |
30119 | That God would reverse his eternal decrees? |
30119 | The question never came up among Methodist divines, whether God prefers, in any instance, sin to holiness? |
30119 | The_ Larger Catechism_ says, in answer to the question,"What are the decrees of God?" |
30119 | What course, then, does he take? |
30119 | What is the Arminianism against which they are arrayed? |
30119 | What right has a Calvinist to find fault with anything? |
30119 | What, then, is the language of the_ Westminster Confession of Faith_, the established standard of orthodoxy in the American Presbyterian Churches? |
30119 | When we find him ordaining measures for the promotion, and measures for the counteraction, of his own plans? |
30119 | Where does Mr. Wesley, or any other Arminian writer, say this directly or indirectly? |
30119 | Who, being his counsellor, hath taught him? |
30119 | Why should I oppose Romanism, or Universalism, or Socinianism, or Puseyism, or Infidelity, when they are all decreed by Jehovah? |
30119 | Why, then, do they never plead it when pledged to give their client the benefit of every available argument? |
30119 | Will he constitute and call me his child? |
30119 | Will he extend to me the grace of adoption? |
30119 | Will they be able to do that? |
30119 | and is it not maintained that he decreed from all eternity, and brings to pass whatever occurs? |
45716 | When did he begin to get better? |
45716 | Which of these three men do you think was neighbour to the man who fell among thieves? |
45716 | A third time He asked Peter,"Do you love Me?" |
45716 | Again He asked Peter,"Do you love Me?" |
45716 | And He said to them,"How is it that you sought me? |
45716 | And Jesus said to them,"Do you believe I can make you see?" |
45716 | And Jesus said,"What is written in the law?" |
45716 | And Jesus said,"Why do you ask Me concerning that which is good? |
45716 | And Our Lord said,"Yes; have you never heard that out of the mouth of babes and little infants God has perfect praise?" |
45716 | And the Jews said to Christ,"Is it right to make men well on the Sabbath day?" |
45716 | And they were angry, and said,"What shall we do? |
45716 | Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us this well?" |
45716 | At last they came to Jerusalem, and they asked the people,"Where is He that is born King of the Jews? |
45716 | But she said,"How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask me, who am a Samaritan, for drink? |
45716 | But the disciples said,"Master, the Jews of late tried to kill You; why will You go there again?" |
45716 | But the lawyer, not yet satisfied, asked,"Who is my neighbour?" |
45716 | But they soon got up, and when Our Lord said again,"Whom seek ye?" |
45716 | Can men walk on the sea? |
45716 | Did not Our Lord seem unkind? |
45716 | Did you not know that I must do My Father''s business?" |
45716 | Do you know where they are found? |
45716 | Do you not know that I can crucify you, or let you go free?" |
45716 | Do you not think it was very wrong of men to bring oxen, and lambs, and money to change into God''s House? |
45716 | Has not the story of Our dear Lord made you love Him? |
45716 | He came out and asked,"What has this Man done?" |
45716 | He said,"Master, what shall I do to gain eternal life"--that is, life in Heaven? |
45716 | He said,"Why do you weep?" |
45716 | He turned and saw them, and said,"What seek ye?" |
45716 | He went to this desert place to rest, but He did not care for rest or food, if He could do good, so He did not say,"Why did you come here?" |
45716 | His mother, also, was amazed; but she said to Him,"Son, why have you done this? |
45716 | How can you get living water? |
45716 | How good it was of our Lord to be born a poor child for our sakes, was it not? |
45716 | Is it easier to say to the sick man, Your sins are forgiven, or to say, Arise, take up your bed and walk? |
45716 | It was wrong of this son to be jealous, was it not? |
45716 | Jesus did not say at once,"I will give them some;"He said,"What have I to do with thee? |
45716 | Jesus said,"Show me a penny;"and when they brought it He said,"Whose likeness is on it and what name?" |
45716 | Nathanael said,"Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" |
45716 | Nathanael said,"How do You know me?" |
45716 | Now, when the Pharisees saw the disciples eat the corn, they said,"Why do you do that which is not right on the Sabbath day?" |
45716 | Pilate said,"Why do you not answer me? |
45716 | The disciples were much afraid, and they woke him, saying,"Lord, do you not care that we perish?" |
45716 | The wicked priests answered,"What is that to us? |
45716 | The young man asked"Which?" |
45716 | The young man said,"I have kept all these; what is wanting in me?" |
45716 | Then Andrew said,"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what are they among so many?" |
45716 | Then He said to the soldiers,"Whom seek ye?" |
45716 | Then Jesus said to Philip,"Where shall we get bread that these may eat?" |
45716 | Then Jesus said,"Where have you laid him?" |
45716 | Then Martha thought her sister ought to help her, so she came, and said,"Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? |
45716 | Then Peter and the rest said,"Master, all the people press on You; why do You ask''who touched Me?''" |
45716 | Then Pilate said,"What, then, shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" |
45716 | Then the disciples said to each other,"What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?" |
45716 | Then, Pilate went back to the judgment hall and had Christ brought before him, and said,"Are You a King?" |
45716 | There was a great mob of people at the time and they pressed up against Jesus, but He stopped, and said,"Who touched Me?" |
45716 | These men came now, and said to Jesus,"How can You sit down to eat with publicans and sinners?" |
45716 | They did not think the Lord could know their thoughts; but He did know them, and He said,"Why do you think this in your hearts? |
45716 | They said at once to the man who was cured,"Why do you carry your bed on the Sabbath day? |
45716 | They said to her,"Why do you weep?" |
45716 | They said,"Master, where do You live?" |
45716 | They went on into Jerusalem, and the people wondered, and said"Who is this?" |
45716 | Was not Jesus good and kind to heal the man who came to take Him? |
45716 | Was not this a very great miracle? |
45716 | Was this true? |
45716 | What did Our Lord mean by living water? |
45716 | What did that mean? |
45716 | What did they talk about? |
45716 | When Pilate heard that, he was much afraid; he took Our Lord back into the hall, and asked Him,"Whence do you come?" |
45716 | When they asked him,"What man was it who told you to do so?" |
45716 | When they had dined, the Lord said to Peter,"Do you love Me more than these?" |
45716 | Which of the two prayed best? |
45716 | Who are Christ''s lambs? |
45716 | Who can forgive sins but God only?" |
45716 | Why did Our Lord wash His apostles''feet? |
45716 | Why did our Lord do this wonderful thing? |
45716 | Why do You come to me?" |
45716 | You know what pearls are, do you not? |
45716 | You know, do you not? |

57330 | But perhaps you do not believe that Esdras is a true prophet; well then, will you believe St. Paul? |

57330 | Yes; but was not Paradise polluted by this sin? |

19612 | And had not Paul really separated Christianity as religion from Judaism and the Old Testament? |
19612 | As to the first, the question has frequently been asked, Is the Gospel of Christ to be the authority or the Gospel concerning Christ? |
19612 | But could it not place them on a greater and firmer foundation? |
19612 | But were the earliest Neoplatonists really acquainted with the speculations of men like Philo, Justin, Valentinus and Basilides? |
19612 | But what is the end of him who is thus rejected? |
19612 | But where was the limit of the application? |
19612 | But would they ever have arisen without the presupposition of a Christian community which recognised the Old Testament?] |
19612 | But, and this is the last question which one is justified in raising here, why did not Neoplatonism create an independent religious community? |
19612 | Conscious of being bound to tradition, it first definitely raised the question, what is Christianity? |
19612 | De Christo ergo quid sentiunt? |
19612 | Did Paul develop independently his own conception? |

19612 | How old is the triad: Apostles, Prophets and Teachers? |
19612 | In what way were views about the saving value of Christ''s death developed alongside of Paul''s system? |
19612 | It is not surprising that the first man who clearly put and answered the question,"What is Christian?" |
19612 | Just as it is still, in the same way naively inferred: if Christ rose bodily he must also have ascended bodily( visibly?) |

19612 | The answer to this question is at the same time the reply to another, viz., why did the Christian church supplant Neoplatonism? |
19612 | The difference in the answers to the question, How far and by what means, Jesus procured salvation? |

19612 | We possess probably not a few writings which belong to that period; but how are we to prove this, how are they to be arranged? |
19612 | What significance had it in the following period? |
19612 | What was the original conception of baptism? |
19612 | When and how did belief in the birth of Jesus from a Virgin gain acceptance in Christendom? |
19612 | When and where did baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit arise, and how did it make its way in Christendom? |
19612 | When did these formations begin? |
19612 | When were Baptism and the Lord''s Supper grouped together? |
19612 | Where else could we do that? |
19612 | Who can decide what each of them acquired by its own exertions and what it obtained through interchange of opinions? |
19612 | Who first distinguished Christendom, as[ Greek: ekklêsia tou theou], from Judaism, and how did the concept[ Greek: ekklêsia] become current? |
19612 | Why not? |

15011 | And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? 15011 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?" |
15011 | Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? 15011 Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?" |
15011 | Well,says one,"if we are born of the Spirit operating through the Word, must we not understand all the Word in order that we may be born again?" |
15011 | Well,says one,"is that all the witness of the Spirit mentioned by the apostle?" |
15011 | Well,says one,"what of the great numbers who pray for a''Pentecostal revival''? |
15011 | Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? 15011 10:47. Who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? 15011 3:2, Paul asks the Galatians:Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the_ hearing of the faith_?" |
15011 | And yet, the Spirit was to convict men"of righteousness"; but whose righteousness? |
15011 | Are these signs in existence to- day? |
15011 | Are they all wrong?" |
15011 | Are they competent to testify? |
15011 | Are you_ conscious_ of any influence within you except a holy joy that comes from obedience to the will of God? |
15011 | But can not such feeling be excited by other causes? |
15011 | But how shall they_ hear_ without a preacher and how shall he_ preach_ except he be_ sent_? |
15011 | But what is a man? |
15011 | Did ye receive[ the] Holy Spirit when ye believed?... |
15011 | Do not I fill heaven and earth? |
15011 | Doth the_ Spirit_ which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? |
15011 | For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? |
15011 | Give me also this power, together to try the Spirit of the that on whomsoever I lay my hands, Lord? |
15011 | Hath done despite unto the_ Spirit_ of grace? |
15011 | Having begun in[ the] works of the law, or by the_ Spirit_, are ye now hearing of faith? |
15011 | How can any man sow to the Holy Spirit? |
15011 | How can one man deny the claims of another whom he admits to be divinely guided into all truth? |
15011 | How can the word of God accomplish the new birth? |
15011 | How could Apollos"_ water the word_"? |
15011 | How did he do this? |
15011 | How do you know that the thief on the cross was saved? |
15011 | How does Christ dwell in us? |
15011 | How does the Spirit dwell in us? |
15011 | How is this birth accomplished? |
15011 | How, then, does the Father dwell in us? |
15011 | If it is to be as universal as"remission of sins,"ought it not to have the same prominence in apostolic preaching? |
15011 | If so, what kind of a power? |
15011 | If the gift of the Spirit is to all baptized believers, why did not the Samaritans receive it? |
15011 | If the manifestations of the Spirit have ceased, is it not reasonable that the"gift"has also ceased? |
15011 | If they feel good, it is evidence to them of the Spirit''s testimony, but they frequently feel bad also; whose testimony is that? |
15011 | If you are not, what evidence have you that the Spirit personally dwells in you? |
15011 | If, in the judgment day, God should ask such people,"Have you obeyed me in the act of Christian baptism?" |
15011 | In kindness, in[ the] Holy Spirit? |
15011 | In the absence of clear testimony, what right has any one to attribute such feeling to the personal presence of the Holy Spirit? |
15011 | Is it a burden and a duty to attend the house of God, or is it a pleasure gladly and joyfully anticipated? |
15011 | Is the Holy Spirit a power in the present age? |
15011 | Is there an intelligent jury in the land that would convict any one of the men of being the murderer? |
15011 | Isaiah says( 63:10):"They rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit;"and again( 63:11) he asks:"Where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?" |
15011 | May I not truly say that man really_ has no choice_ in the matter as to whether he will or will not have this divine influence upon his soul? |
15011 | Now, how are persons made believers? |
15011 | Now, is there in the Scripture any promise of a personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit as a_ result of obedience_? |
15011 | Of what use, then, would a direct indwelling Spirit be? |
15011 | Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?... |
15011 | Says one,"Is not the Spirit actively at work in the world to- day?" |
15011 | Signs of what? |
15011 | Spirit_ to them that ask him? |
15011 | Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have_ received the Holy Spirit_ as well as we?" |
15011 | Was it not impertinence in Jude to say that the faith was"once for all delivered to the saints,"if there were deliverances being constantly made? |
15011 | Was that not an impertinence in Paul if Timothy had the same divine leading as he? |
15011 | What are the things that might be accomplished by a direct personal indwelling of the Spirit in us? |
15011 | What is it that is born? |
15011 | What is the feeling usually assigned for the presence of the Holy Spirit''s personal indwelling? |
15011 | What is the instrument? |
15011 | What is the nature of this promised one? |
15011 | What is the normal state of the unregenerate heart? |
15011 | What more can you desire? |
15011 | What need for a New Testament if all men possess this Paraclete? |
15011 | What need to preach the gospel to the heathen world if God is directly leading men into the truth? |
15011 | What would the people think of him? |
15011 | What would you think of a jury that would render such a verdict? |
15011 | When the multitude were convicted by the apostle''s discourse, they"said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? |
15011 | When you rise on the Lord''s Day morning, do you say,"Must I go to church to- day?" |
15011 | Why were they not converted? |
15011 | Why? |
15011 | Why? |
15011 | With these forcible illustrations to guard the passage, can any one fail to understand what is meant by the baptism in fire? |
15011 | glory? |
15011 | perfected in the flesh? |
15011 | the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? |
28507 | Art thou the King of the Jews? |

28507 | The time we have lost,says Richard Baxter,"can not be recalled; should we not then redeem and improve the little that remains? |
28507 | This cup which Thou, O God, givest me to drink, shall I not drink it? |
28507 | This man receiveth sinners,and shall not_ we_? |
28507 | Who am I,said Luther, when he witnessed the patience of a great sufferer;"who am I? |
28507 | Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business? |
28507 | And once the retrograde movement in the spiritual life begins, who can predict where it may end? |
28507 | Are evils looming through the mists of the future? |
28507 | Are there none such within your reach, to whom a trifling pittance would be as an angel of mercy? |
28507 | Are we from this to think lightly of sin? |
28507 | Are you bold in repelling him as your Master was? |
28507 | Are you ready with the retort to every foul suggestion,"Get thee hence, Satan"? |
28507 | Are you reposing in Him as your only Saviour, and following Him as your only pattern? |
28507 | Are you tempted to indulge in hard suspicions, as to God''s faithfulness and love, in appointing some peculiar trial? |
28507 | Are you"dying daily;"--dying to self as well as to sin? |
28507 | Art thou suffering some unmerited wrong or unkindness, exposed to harsh and wounding accusations, hard for flesh and blood to bear? |
28507 | Ask yourself, Would Jesus have done_ this_? |
28507 | Can we sympathize in any respect with such exalted tears? |
28507 | Did Jesus sanction or reciprocate her sectarianism?--did He leave her bigotry unrebuked? |
28507 | Do I shrink from trials-- duties-- crosses-- because involving hardships and self- denial, or because frowned on by the world? |
28507 | Do we grieve at sin in_ others_? |
28507 | Do we mourn for sin, our_ own_ sin-- the deep insult which it inflicts on God-- the ruinous consequences it entails on ourselves? |
28507 | Do you see the image of God in a professing believer? |
28507 | Does Jesus punish his timidity by shutting His door against him, spurning him from His presence? |
28507 | Does he resent it? |
28507 | Has God enriched you with this world''s goods? |
28507 | Have I remembered what grace_ has_ wrought, what grace_ can_ do?" |
28507 | Have you already fled to Jesus? |
28507 | Have you never felt the_ luxury_ of doing good? |
28507 | Have you never felt, that in making_ others_ happy, you make_ your self_ so? |
28507 | How can I mix with the potsherds of the earth? |
28507 | How can we read the 13th chapter of 1st Corinthians, and then think of our divisions? |
28507 | If Christians would dip their arrows more in"the balm of Gilead,"would there not be fewer wounds in the body of Christ? |
28507 | If He, the spotless Lamb of God,"murmured not,"how can_ you_ murmur? |
28507 | If_ He_ gave utterance to not one murmuring word, canst_ thou_ complain? |
28507 | Let this be a holy preservative in your every hour of temptation,"How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" |
28507 | Let this ever be your preservative against temptation,"How would_ Jesus_ have acted here? |
28507 | May not this well encourage in the absence of great outward results? |
28507 | May we not, however, seek at least to approximate, though we can not adequately resemble? |
28507 | May you not trace much of what you deplore to an unfrequented chamber? |
28507 | Or hast thou been long tossed on some bed of sickness-- days of pain and nights of weariness appointed thee? |
28507 | Shall we pronounce"crimson"and"scarlet"sins and sinners beyond the pale of mercy, when_ Jesus_ does not? |
28507 | Was it a_ leper_,--that dreaded name which entailed a life- long exile from friendly looks and kindly words? |
28507 | Was it some blind beggars on the Jericho highway, groping in darkness, pleading for help? |
28507 | Was it the speechless pleadings of a widow''s tears at the gate of Nain, when she followed her earthly pride and prop to the grave? |
28507 | What if the eleventh hour should strike after having been"all the day_ idle_"? |
28507 | What is_ your_"contradiction"to_ His_? |
28507 | What must it have been to confront the Arch- traitor?--to stand face to face with the foe of His throne, and His universe? |
28507 | What was the result? |
28507 | What was the secret of such tranquillity? |
28507 | What will heaven be but this love perfected-- loving Christ, and beloved by those who love Him? |
28507 | When He met Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, He found him clinging to an unreasonable prejudice--"Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" |
28507 | When did Jesus bear the cross? |
28507 | When, on the night of his apprehension, He confronts the assassin band, in meek majesty He puts the question,"Whom seek ye?" |
28507 | Who were the writers in the Bible? |
28507 | Why are your friendships so often like the summer brook, soon dried? |
28507 | Why be solicitous about the smiles of that which knew not( nay, which frowned on) its Lord? |
28507 | Why covet tinsel honors and glories? |
28507 | Why? |
28507 | art thou now undergoing some bitter trial? |
28507 | can you dread_ that_ which your Saviour has already vanquished? |
28507 | do the compassionate words and deeds of a tender Saviour find any feeble echo and transcript in yours? |
28507 | do you complain of your languid spirit, your drooping faith, your fitful affections, your lukewarm love? |
28507 | do you know any thing of such active benevolence? |
28507 | do you know any thing of this zeal, which"many waters could not quench"? |
28507 | have you been sitting at the feet of Him who"pleased not Himself"? |
28507 | if Christ had"pleased Himself,"where wouldst_ thou_ have_ been_ this day? |
28507 | if we had more real communion with our Saviour, should we not have more real communion with one another? |
28507 | is this mind also in_ you_? |
28507 | or, by example and conduct, to palliate and overlook its enormity? |
28507 | that, by a great law of your being, enunciated by the Divine Patron and Pattern of Benevolence,"it is more blessed to give than to receive"? |
28507 | what wilt Thou have me to do?''" |
28507 | will it be so with_ you_ at a dying hour? |
28507 | will_ your_"work"be done? |
28507 | would_ He_ not have recoiled, like the sensitive plant, from the remotest contact with sin? |
40443 | For what purpose,says Sir John Herschel,"are we to suppose such magnificent bodies scattered through the abyss of space? |
40443 | Who can set bounds to the Almighty? |
40443 | _ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister unto those who shall be the heirs of salvation?_THE VAST NUMBER OF THE ANGELS. |
40443 | ***** Are any ready to ask why the"_ glory- light_"of that heavenly world, represented as"far above the brightness of the Sun"can not be seen? |
40443 | Again, of His Spirit in a milder form:"Is not my_ word_ like fire, saith the Lord?" |
40443 | And for what are all these exchanged? |
40443 | Can we not know more of all this? |
40443 | Comprehending this, the a same prophet inquires:"Who among us shall dwell with devouring fire? |
40443 | Do they ever exhibit to, or instruct them in your Protestant Bible? |
40443 | Do you ask, what is this element? |
40443 | Grant all this; but why, and for what purpose? |
40443 | Have you ever noticed how_ promptly_ your daughter has felt it her duty to obey this command, and return to that school? |
40443 | Hear the Psalmist, on this subject:"Whither shall I go from thy_ Spirit_? |
40443 | Hence, hear again the exclamation of the Psalmist:"Whither shall I go from thy_ Spirit_? |
40443 | Here we have it; are you ready for a journey? |
40443 | How dare we trifle with Him, and our own soul''s immortal interest? |
40443 | How many of those worthy ancients suffered persecutions in various ways for their acts of piety? |
40443 | I have noticed the Protestants are perpetually appealing to the primitive Church; but when I turn to the early ages of history, what do I see? |
40443 | If heaven is still_ far out beyond_, what period or measure of Eternity may it requite for the spirit, or soul to reach it after leaving the body? |
40443 | In the second book of the Kings it is written:"_ But will God indeed dwell on earth? |
40443 | Is it not high time that Protestants of our own country, were waking up in regard to their present, and eternal interests? |
40443 | Is it not that immortal spirit- life which God breathed into our first parents? |
40443 | Is not here conclusive evidence that the two places-- heaven and hell-- are not in far distant regions from each other? |
40443 | Is your mind expanding? |
40443 | Job asks,"To whom hast Thou uttered words? |
40443 | May not Moses, and Elijah, and the Prophets, and Martyrs be there? |
40443 | May we not ask, from whence comes this intuition, that all feel that death to the body is not the end of existence? |
40443 | May we not therefore, for a few moments, contemplate the eventful, and, to some, the pleasant, yet to others the startling scene? |
40443 | May we not? |
40443 | Now do we not see in all this, as in all things else, that the Sun-- its heat and light-- are God''s agencies in sustaining all things? |
40443 | Now from whence cometh this fire when His wrath is thus revealed? |
40443 | Now we appeal to the reason of every intelligent mind, can you expect to enjoy happiness in your eternal existence, amid devouring flames? |
40443 | Now what are these revelations? |
40443 | Now, what else than_ light_, and_ heat_, is thus manifest to us? |
40443 | O grave, where is thy victory?" |
40443 | O, who will not seek and strive for a_ home in heaven_? |
40443 | Oh, grave where is thy victory?" |
40443 | Reader, are you striving for that HAPPY HOME? |
40443 | THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH HAS COME; WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND?" |
40443 | Then shall be repeated the saying which was written,"O death, where is thy sting? |
40443 | Was it ever thus while she was attending a Protestant school? |
40443 | We can not doubt the honesty and sincerity of these ministers, nor of their church members; yet may not many of them be"blind leaders of the blind?" |
40443 | What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man that thou takest knowledge of him?" |
40443 | What may you not lose by neglecting to do it? |
40443 | When first smitten, hearing a voice that was not of Earth, he exclaimed,"Lord, who art thou?" |
40443 | When we go to the founders and leaders of these different organizations, and ask, why all these conflicting elements? |
40443 | Where else can we imagine its location, to be within range of-- even immortal-- vision from this earth? |
40443 | Whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
40443 | Who among_ us_ shall dwell in everlasting burnings?" |
40443 | Who can doubt this star being a visible manifestation of the_ Spirit of God_? |
40443 | Will it be any comfort or pleasure to you to know that others are, like yourself, doomed to suffer eternal torments? |
40443 | Without a solution of these facts, is not the mind bewildered and_ lost_ in the hazy contemplation? |
40443 | _ WILL ALL TAKE HEED?_****** Gentle reader, we are about to take our leave of you. |
40443 | are your views enlarging, so as to enable you to comprehend its vast dimensions? |
40443 | but on the other hand; are they not constantly trying to instruct, charm, and fascinate them with their own system of religious worship? |
40443 | or whither shall I flee from thy presence?" |
40443 | that which can never be quenched nor extinguished? |
40443 | that_ spirit- fire_ which is eternal in its nature? |
40443 | to witness their agonies, and hear their wailings in that pandemonium of the lost? |
40443 | whose spirit came from Thee?" |
27344 | Although he fall, yet shall he not be cast down utterly; and why? 27344 Simon, son of Jonas,_ lovest thou me_?" |
27344 | The man,says Augustine,"who says''_ Enough_,''that man''s soul is lost?" |
27344 | Why art thou then cast down, O my soul? 27344 Why tarry the wheels of Thy chariot?" |
27344 | Wilt thou not revive us, O Lord? |
27344 | Wilt thou not revive us, O Lord? |
27344 | --The material sun, which wades through clouds and a troubled sky, sets often in a couch of lustrous gold? |
27344 | Am I living as I should wish I had done when that last hour arrives?" |
27344 | An interceding Saviour was at thy side, saying to every threatening wave,"Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther?" |
27344 | And art thou to claim exemption from the same discipline? |
27344 | And from whom could dying grace come so welcome, as from Thee, O blessed Jesus? |
27344 | And has He not left me to perish? |
27344 | And shall I then, indeed,"_ see God_?" |
27344 | And what, after all, is the severest of thy chastisements in comparison with what thy sins have deserved? |
27344 | And when shall it arrive? |
27344 | Are thy heart''s idols, one by one abolished? |
27344 | Art thou holy? |
27344 | Art thou ready, if called this night to lie down on thy death- pillow, sweetly to fall asleep in Jesus? |
27344 | Art thou to think it strange concerning these same fiery trials that may be trying thee? |
27344 | Art thou wearied with these midnight tossings on life''s tumultuous sea? |
27344 | Believer? |
27344 | But test it in the hour of sorrow; and what can it do for thee when most it is needed? |
27344 | Dost thou murmur under a Father''s correcting love? |
27344 | Has grace begun in thee? |
27344 | Has thy God ever done so? |
27344 | Hast thou closed with these His overtures? |
27344 | Hast thou less conscious nearness to the mercy- seat,--diminished communion with thy Saviour? |
27344 | Having this hope in thee, art thou purifying thyself, even as He is pure? |
27344 | How and where is reviving grace to be found? |
27344 | If the earnest be sweet, what must be the reality? |
27344 | If the rest of thy pilgrimage- way be peaceful and unclouded, rests there a dark and portentous shadow over the terminating portals? |
27344 | If the wilderness table contain such rich provision, what must be the glories of the eternal banqueting house? |
27344 | In a few brief moments after that tear is shed, thy God will be wiping every vestige of it away? |
27344 | Is it loss of health, or loss of wealth, or loss of beloved friends? |
27344 | Is more of thy Saviour''s image impressed on thy character, and thy Saviour''s love more enthroned in thy heart? |
27344 | Is sin crucifying? |
27344 | Is the world less to thee, and eternity more to thee? |
27344 | Is there now some"thorn in the flesh"sent to lacerate thee? |
27344 | Is thy walk less with God, thy frame less heavenly? |
27344 | Is"Salvation"to thee more"the one thing needful?" |
27344 | It tells thee it is no longer a"fearful,"but a_ blessed_ thing to fall into His hands? |
27344 | Leaving all thy false props and refuges, be this thy resolve:"In the Lord put I my trust: why say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?" |
27344 | Like Him!--Hast thou caught up any faint resemblance to that all- glorious image? |
27344 | Like Him!--My soul, art thou waiting this manifestation of the sons of God? |
27344 | Marvel of marvels? |
27344 | My soul, dost not thou love to dwell on that all- abounding grace? |
27344 | My soul, where wouldst thou have been this day, hadst thou not been"_ kept_"by the power of God? |
27344 | Not one stroke of the rod unheeded, or that might have been spared? |
27344 | Not too curiously prying into the"_ Why_ it is?" |
27344 | On the other hand, what though thou hast no other blessing on earth to call thine own? |
27344 | The paths of the Lord? |
27344 | The saddest and sorest of all bereavements, is when the sins which have separated thee from Him, evoke the anguish- cry,"Where is my God?" |
27344 | Thou hast cast off thy God,--might He not oft have"cast out"thee? |
27344 | Thou mayest think thy pilot hath left thee, and be ready continually to say,"Where is my God?" |
27344 | Thy heavenly Father loves thee too much, and too tenderly, to bestow harsher correction than thy case requires? |
27344 | To"walk with God,"--to ask in simple faith,"What wouldst thou have me to do?" |
27344 | What is it? |
27344 | What is the sting of death? |
27344 | What would it have been to have stood the wrath of an unpropitiated Judge, and that, too,_ for ever_? |
27344 | When sight says,"All these things are against me,"let faith rebuke the hasty conclusion, and say,"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" |
27344 | Why wound thy loving Saviour''s heart by these repeated declensions? |
27344 | Will Jesus accept such a heart as mine?--this erring, treacherous, traitor heart? |
27344 | Wilt thou not be among the number? |
27344 | Wilt thou not trust Him, even though thou canst not trace the mystery of His dealings? |
27344 | Wilt thou not, then, humbly and patiently endure"weeping for the night,"in the prospect of the"joy that cometh in the morning?" |
27344 | Wouldst thou know the hour of thy betrothment? |
27344 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
27344 | art thou among the number of those who"love His appearing?" |
27344 | art thou at times afraid of this, thy last enemy? |
27344 | art thou conscious of thy declining state? |
27344 | has this mystic union been formed between thee and thy Lord? |
27344 | held me up?" |
27344 | is it night with thee here? |
27344 | is it thine? |
27344 | is not this one cause of thy deadness? |
27344 | is the beggar to be"raised from the dunghill, set among princes, and made to inherit a throne of glory?" |
27344 | is the good work begun in thee? |
27344 | is this blessedness thine in prospect? |
27344 | or"_ How_ it is?" |
27344 | ponder that solemn question,"Am I ready to die? |
27344 | shall I gaze on these inscrutable glories, and live? |
27344 | what couldst thou wish more than this? |
27344 | what is there in thee to merit such love as this? |
27344 | what thinkest thou of this Heaven? |
27344 | where is thy sting? |
27344 | where is thy victory? |
27344 | wouldst thou be a star shining high and bright in the firmament of glory?--wouldst thou receive the ten- talent recompense? |
45540 | And if only it was able to give us an answer to the chief question: Who was Jesus? |
45540 | We learn from him that a man(?) 45540 Who would have invented this story?" |
45540 | ( Why callest thou me good? |
45540 | 1,"Have I not seen our Lord Jesus?" |
45540 | 18) he explains the horns of the"unicorn"( ox?) |
45540 | 18, 19) about Peter''s possession of the keys; how, then, should this not be the oldest? |
45540 | 24( My God, why has thou forsaken me? |
45540 | And how then does the Logos bring about redemption? |
45540 | And now, who is this Joseph, as son of whom the Messiah was to be a suffering and dying creature like any ordinary man? |
45540 | Bousset, indeed, in his work,"Was wissen wir von Jesus?" |
45540 | But how else could he have been born? |
45540 | But is that distinction"grasped in all its purity"in Judaism with its ritualistic legality? |
45540 | But perhaps those sayings and sermons of Jesus are of such a nature that they could only arise from the"historical Jesus"? |
45540 | But what is now being done? |
45540 | Do you then want to know why he is so grim? |
45540 | Does any connection between the two exist? |
45540 | Does this mean that they were directly"revealed"to him by the transfigured Jesus? |
45540 | For what does Lessing say? |
45540 | He shall see of the travail of his soul[? |
45540 | How then does it fare with the new"bases"of Schmiedel? |
45540 | If thou followest it and wilt be baptized, then undertake to purify thyself, for who can seize a burning fire with his hands? |
45540 | In the Acts we read only of an apparition of light which Paul saw, and of a voice which called to him,"Saul, why persecutest thou me?" |
45540 | Indeed, has it come to a really pure realisation even in Christianity, in which piety and attachment to the Church so often pass as identical ideas? |
45540 | Is no other course open to us but a complete break with the Christian doctrine of redemption? |
45540 | Is the supposition referred to necessary to account for the fact that Paul, the persecutor of Jesus, referred the voice and the vision to Jesus? |
45540 | Is there not at the same time in this a concealed reference to Adonis? |
45540 | Its followers called themselves Adonæi, after the name of its supposed founder, Ado(? |
45540 | John''s question to Jesus,"Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?" |
45540 | May they not be based on events which are very far from being necessarily experiences of the liberal theology''s historical Jesus? |
45540 | On what then does the opinion rest that the cross is the gibbet? |
45540 | Or did Paul, as historical theology says, reveal more of Jesus in his sermons than he did in the epistles? |
45540 | Or where else is a sect named after the birthplace of its founder? |
45540 | R. H. Grützmacher:"Ist das liberale Christusbild modern? |
45540 | What answer did he give to the questions: What matters in the eyes of God? |
45540 | What does this prove? |
45540 | What is the rightly constituted, good and high- minded soul, but a God living as a guest in a human body? |
45540 | What then is proved by the letter of Pliny as to the historical nature of Jesus? |
45540 | What then is this soul? |
45540 | Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? |
45540 | Why may not also the founder of the new covenant as an historical person belong entirely to pious legend? |
45540 | Will you not say that here is something too great and grand to be regarded as of the same nature as the trivial body in which it dwells? |
45540 | [ 310] A. Kalthoff,"Was wissen wir von Jesus? |
45540 | [ 31] Of what nature were the secret traditions upon which these sects rested? |
45540 | [ 374] The objection will be raised: what about the Gospels? |
45540 | [ 407] If v. Soden("Hat Jesus gelebt?" |
45540 | [ 413] V. Soden proves the contrary in his work,"Hat Jesus gelebt?" |
45540 | [ 468] Bousset agrees with this in his work"Was wissen wir von Jesus?" |
45540 | also his work"Was wissen wir von Jesus? |
45540 | and What is religion? |
45540 | we read the words:"I came to cast fire upon the earth: and what will I, if it is already kindled? |
33194 | Am I amending my life? 33194 So long as you are grieved at the temptation, there is nothing to fear, for why does it grieve you save because your will does not consent to it? |
33194 | What is the use? |
33194 | [ 10] Can the heart desiring to return to the allegiance of our God have any qualm of doubt in the face of such promises? 33194 [ 13] Whence then arose the inherent"principle of evil"that wrought their temptation? |
33194 | [ 18]Why art thou so heavy, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
33194 | [ 8] Imagine an army troubled, strained, distressed, confused; what possible chance would it have of victory against a powerful and confident foe? 33194 [ 8] Why should the Omnipotent One have spoken thus since none is able to hinder Him or bind His hands? |
33194 | [ 9] Do these words leave room for anxious doubt that in every assault of the enemy He will be with us? 33194 A well- known spiritual guide says,But how are we to overcome temptations? |
33194 | Again, in the second Adam, if He is indeed the God- man, the Incarnate Jehovah, whence came His temptation? |
33194 | Am I keeping the channels open through which the life and strength of the Body flow into the members? |
33194 | And is our heavenly Father less loving, less tender, of His children, than an earthly father? |
33194 | And what relation have these two wills to the act of consent, which constitutes the sin? |
33194 | But what will be the result? |
33194 | Can we recall the particular point at which downfall{ 185} began? |
33194 | Did we presumptuously run into occasion of perilous temptation? |
33194 | Do we believe in a personal devil? |
33194 | Do we pray to the Holy Ghost? |
33194 | Do you think you would long continue your application to such an one? |
33194 | Do you think you would stop to weigh calmly the arguments for and against his proposition? |
33194 | Does then the increase of the Christ- character give added virulence and strength to the evil that is within? |
33194 | Has there been a change in your life for the better? |
33194 | Have we caught the true significance of the battle, the vision of its final issue? |
33194 | Have we used it as did this servant of God? |
33194 | Have you any assurance that your life is in the smallest degree better than it was a year ago?" |
33194 | Have you ever really amended your life?" |
33194 | How can I pray when a thousand distractions are thrust in so powerfully from every side? |
33194 | How can evil itself be, strictly speaking, a principle? |
33194 | How does God meet this spirit on the part of the penitent? |
33194 | How is it to be distinguished from the higher will, which, while acknowledging the sense of pleasure, yet refuses to yield to it? |
33194 | How long would you listen to him? |
33194 | How long would you persist in your applications to him? |
33194 | How then are we to obtain this so necessary virtue of humility? |
33194 | If not, what occasion did the enemy seize upon for his attack? |
33194 | If thou canst not make thyself what thou wouldest, how canst thou expect to have another to thy liking? |
33194 | In the account given in Revelation of the war in heaven, St. Michael, whose name is simply a Hebrew word meaning"Who is like God?" |
33194 | Is it not, furthermore, the common experience that Satan the more eagerly and readily pursues us under such circumstances? |
33194 | Is it nothing to Him that such a soul be beaten down by the foe? |
33194 | Is my soul a saintlier thing than it was a year ago? |
33194 | Is not the like thing being constantly said of our Heavenly Father because of the sins of His children? |
33194 | Is the occasion of that sin still there? |
33194 | It stands sentinel to admit or repulse every thought that comes; and what is the nature of the thoughts admitted? |
33194 | Let him hammer as he will at the door; do not you even say so much as, Who is there?... |
33194 | Let us regard a little child just baptized-- it is an innocent child of God, but what is innocence? |
33194 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
33194 | One word of God the Eternal Son suffices,"And shall not God avenge His own elect which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? |
33194 | Or did we forget who our Leader was and grow panic- stricken? |
33194 | Or what painful pressing on, inch by inch, forced him at last to fly the field? |
33194 | Quick comes the whisper in the soul,--"Have you done even this? |
33194 | So both prophet and apostle cry out in an ecstasy of triumph, as the Holy Spirit leads them to this conclusion,--"O death, where is thy sting? |
33194 | Then swift as thought the voice of the tempter comes again:"What is the use? |
33194 | Through it all, did we strive to keep our lines of communication with our headquarters and our base of supplies open by prayer? |
33194 | Was there parleying with him? |
33194 | We can hear him taunting the soul:"Is this all you have to depend on for your hope of salvation? |
33194 | What are we doing all this time? |
33194 | What can be more comforting than the many passages concerning the divine care and compassion with which the Scriptures teem? |
33194 | What duties are to be performed which may occasion temptation? |
33194 | What was his course of reasoning in devising it? |
33194 | What would be thought of a soldier in the armies of an earthly kingdom who was afraid of the enemy? |
33194 | When we openly complain of the force of his attacks, are we not advertising him of our weak points? |
33194 | Where do I expect to go? |
33194 | Whom shall I see? |
33194 | Why should he be? |
33194 | Would our hearts desire heaven on such a condition? |
33194 | You will sin again; why not give it all up?" |
33194 | [ 12]"What do they exactly mean by this imposing phrase? |
33194 | [ 17] Where then have we warrant for discouragement? |
33194 | [ 21] What is it under these conditions that God requires? |
33194 | [ 28] Who has not been tempted at the holiest times and in the most sacred places? |
33194 | [ 6] Are we wiser than Satan? |
33194 | _ The Test of Common Sense_ What practical tests, therefore, can we bring to bear in order to know whether the will has consented? |
33194 | { 183} V._ How to Learn our Lessons_ How are we going to recognize all these lessons as they are presented by the Spirit? |
33194 | { 195} What more can the generous heart ask of God? |
37696 | But I return to them, to demonstrate their injustice by what they have said: Say then, for what reason you destroyed that great temple? 37696 If also Christ wished to be concealed, why was a voice heard from heaven, proclaiming him to be the son of God? |
37696 | Again: How can we think him to be a God, who, that I may omit other things, performed, as we learn, nothing that was promised? |
37696 | And did not some of them consider themselves sacred to Mercury, but others to the Muses? |
37696 | And do we not lament the ruins made by earthquakes? |
37696 | And if it be hurtful likewise, why not much more? |
37696 | And what advantage have they by this, when the profession only is the same with theirs, but a real agreement with them is wanting? |
37696 | Are not the temples the possession of the Emperors as well as other things? |
37696 | Are you alone ignorant that summer and winter are produced by him, and that all things are alone vivified and alone germinate from him? |
37696 | Are you alone insensible of the splendour that flows from the sun? |
37696 | Besides, what God that ever appeared to men, did not procure belief that he was a God, particularly when he appeared to those who expected his advent? |
37696 | But he who does that which is not approved by the Emperor, does Wrong; does he not? |
37696 | But if all this affair of sacrifices be a vain thing, why has not this vain thing been prohibited? |
37696 | But what witness worthy of belief saw this spectre? |
37696 | But what_ excellent_ general, who was the leader of many myriads of men, was ever betrayed by his soldiers? |
37696 | But who was it that saw this? |
37696 | But, from all these, nothing happens to the gods beyond what they already possess; for what accession can be made to a divine nature? |
37696 | But, tell me, what advantage has accrued to your city from those who now introduce among you a new religion? |
37696 | By what right do they make these incursions? |
37696 | Can it be thought, that they who are not able to bear the sight of a collector s cloak, should despise the power of your government? |
37696 | Do we think it a cruel thing to cut off a man''s hand, and a small matter to pluck out the eyes of cities? |
37696 | Do you assent to this principle? |
37696 | Do you not therefore call a sinner, an unjust man, a thief, a housebreaker, a wizard, one who is sacrilegious, and a robber of sepulchres? |
37696 | Do you not, also, perceive the great advantages that accrue to your city from the moon, from him and by him the fabricator of all things? |
37696 | Does not every one suppose him to be distracted, who throws his purse into the sea? |
37696 | For have there not been many who have destroyed good men, such as Socrates and Dion, and the great Empedotimus? |
37696 | For what account can be given of such mischiefs? |
37696 | For why, employing his testimony, should we rather think those other workers of miracles to be more depraved than himself? |
37696 | How can such return without cursing the author of these evils? |
37696 | How do they destroy some things, and carry off others? |
37696 | How do they not defeat your own care and providence and labours, O Emperor? |
37696 | How do they not fight against your law by what they do? |
37696 | How do they seize other men''s goods with the indignation of the countries? |
37696 | How is it, then, that some under your government disturb others equally under your government, and permit them not to enjoy the common benefits of it? |
37696 | How, then, are you not liable to punishment? |
37696 | How, then, do we not consider as wood and stones those statues which are fashioned by the hands of men? |
37696 | Is it because you would have them remain? |
37696 | Is it the part of wise men to sink their own goods? |
37696 | Is it therefore just or unjust for a man to be malific to him by whom he has been hurt? |
37696 | Is it, therefore, reasonable that he should also be deprived of this? |
37696 | Nevertheless, what is this but in time of peace to wage war with the husbandmen? |
37696 | Or why was he not acknowledged by those, by whom he had been for a long time expected? |
37696 | Or, condemning his own laws, did he alter his opinion, and send a messenger to mankind with mandates of a contrary nature? |
37696 | Or, if he did not wish to be concealed, why did he suffer punishment, and why did, he[ ignominiously] die?" |
37696 | Or, was the Father who sent Jesus forgetful of what he had formerly said to Moses? |
37696 | Quid ad hæc audet Octavius homo Plautinæ Prosapiæ, ut Pistorum præcipuus ita postremus Philosophorum? |
37696 | Tell me why this temple of Fortune is safe? |
37696 | Were not Homer, Hesiod, Demosthenes, Herodotus, Thucydides, Isocrates, and Lysias, the leaders of all erudition? |
37696 | What kind of ichör also or blood dropped from his crucified body? |
37696 | What other persons would the crier nominate, who should call robbers together? |
37696 | What reason is there for destroying that, the use of which may be changed? |
37696 | What then did the Ptolemies, who succeeded your founder? |
37696 | What then? |
37696 | What then? |
37696 | What thing of this kind did your God utter when{ 35} he was punished*? |
37696 | What young or old person, what man, what woman? |
37696 | Where then is the truth of this charge, when they accuse those men of sacrificing contrary to law? |
37696 | Whether, therefore, does Moses or Jesus lie? |
37696 | Who are they? |
37696 | Who of their neighbours? |
37696 | Who of those inhabiting the same country, and not agreeing with the sacrificers in the worship of the gods? |
37696 | Who, however, would choose to be thus changed? |
37696 | Why likewise do you begin from our sacred institutions, but afterwards in the progress[ of your iniquity] despise them? |
37696 | Why then do you run mad against the temples? |
37696 | Why, therefore, do not you Christians[ voluntarily] die with your master?" |
37696 | Would it not be shameful for an army to fight against its own walls? |
37696 | and for a general to excite them against what they have raised with great labour; the finishing of which was a festival for those who then reigned? |
37696 | and the temple of Jupiter, and of Minerva, and of Bacchus? |
37696 | and when there are no earthquakes, nor other accidents, shall we ourselves do what they are wo nt to effect? |
37696 | and yet think it proper for a magistrate to deprive a city of such a part of it? |
37696 | is it proper or not, O Crito, to be malific? |
37696 | or how can you pretend that what you have done is right, when the sufferers have done no wrong? |
37696 | was it,..... such as from the blest immortals flows? |
37696 | { 12} who had insulted both him and his father? |
37696 | { 31}"The Christians again will say, How can God be known unless he can be apprehended by sense? |
37696 | { 41} tormentors and castigators as these things are thought to be? |
37696 | { 6} husband, so as neither to be saved by her own credulity nor by divine power? |
37696 | { 96} How can these men reject their fellow- subjects, differing from them in this matter? |
43205 | Now,he declares,"you are guilty anyhow; why not enjoy the benefits?" |
43205 | Where, Lord? |
43205 | Why did you go there? |
43205 | Why would any sane person do such a thing? |
43205 | 32- 33._"O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?" |
43205 | All who think are confronted with an ever- recurring question-- yea, exclamations: why do such things happen? |
43205 | Are there any combinations and hidden laws of which he is unacquainted? |
43205 | Are we to conclude that man''s free agency is responsible for this moral monstrosity? |
43205 | As God''s method of saving the world is by the foolishness of preaching, what better agency of opposition could be launched than_ preaching_? |
43205 | But are we not so commanded concerning the Sabbath day? |
43205 | But what was the crime of Iago? |
43205 | But why this book? |
43205 | By what method does he gain access? |
43205 | Do we ever cease to be free agents? |
43205 | Does the loving, compassionate Father send these calamities? |
43205 | Does this not indicate a gradual leavening of the"whole lump"? |
43205 | Does this not look as if a diabolical schemer was manipulating the affair some way? |
43205 | Enough stories have been written of the James Boys, Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill, and other border heroes(? |
43205 | From what source could we expect such a vile deliverance? |
43205 | How can he do this? |
43205 | How can we reconcile this base passion in human character, as slander has no other avenue of expression? |
43205 | How do we know we are religious? |
43205 | How is it done? |
43205 | How was it done? |
43205 | If such is true on this plane of literature, what can be said of the publishing houses which produce nothing but books utterly vile and immoral? |
43205 | If the pulpit is immune, why Paul''s exhortation? |
43205 | If the victim is pious, and many, many are the most devout in the church, do they forfeit their salvation by the_ felo de se_? |
43205 | Is he not superior and supernatural, possessed with unearthly powers? |
43205 | Is it unreasonable? |
43205 | Is the Devil a Myth? |
43205 | Must we conclude that all these lapses, coming in direct conflict with human weal and happiness, are just"happen- sos"? |
43205 | Now the question arises: what about the freedom of the will? |
43205 | Now what are we reading? |
43205 | Now, can there be found a rationale for this dreadful twist in human affairs-- this seeming unfathomable conundrum? |
43205 | Reading between the lines, we can imagine a conversation like this:"You here? |
43205 | Shall we deny the oft told story that Luther threw his inkstand at them( demons) when they actually appeared unto him in person? |
43205 | Then what may be said of self- murder: suicide? |
43205 | Then wherein is the"victory that overcometh the world"? |
43205 | There was not a hitch in the scheme; the new friend(?) |
43205 | These become easy victims to the charms(?) |
43205 | Think of the insane, unreasonable, illogical risk in all manner of sin-- for what? |
43205 | This world is full of beauty; and why should we not forever keep the ugly and distorted in the background? |
43205 | We might ask with just as much reason:"Why does n''t God kill the Devil?" |
43205 | What are evil days? |
43205 | What are they? |
43205 | What can check the materialistic trend of the times? |
43205 | What can save the Church from reflex influences of modern materialism? |
43205 | What connection do we find between Devil worship and modern Spiritualism? |
43205 | What do you think of My servant Job? |
43205 | What does it mean? |
43205 | What does this mean? |
43205 | What had happened? |
43205 | What have you to say about him?" |
43205 | What is the essence of this new righteousness? |
43205 | What is the result? |
43205 | What is the situation? |
43205 | What meaneth these barbarities, ravages, cruelties? |
43205 | What then may we conclude from the most mysterious tragedy on earth? |
43205 | What was the condition named? |
43205 | What will be done with his millions of cohorts? |
43205 | What will be the inevitable fate of you and me, dear reader, whenever he selects us as his victims? |
43205 | Whence came they? |
43205 | Whence comes all this audacious, undermining insult to the whole sweep of God''s plan for saving the world? |
43205 | Whence comes all this preaching about righteousness which places the crown on man, and robs the Cross of its glory? |
43205 | Where is the Holy Ghost all this time? |
43205 | Where is the author, the editor-- even religious editors-- who stand four- square for the Bible of our fathers and mothers? |
43205 | Where, then, is the motive and victory of Satan? |
43205 | Who but a chronic faultfinder could object to this upward move, so obvious now in all directions? |
43205 | Who can be equal for such a mighty Prince? |
43205 | Who has not met these insidious pulls on the conscience? |
43205 | Who is equal to such an enemy? |
43205 | Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?" |
43205 | Who knows but that the drama enacted in the land of Uz has been repeated many, many times since Job sat on his ash pile? |
43205 | Who would say that Judas was excluded from the Saviour''s dying prayer:"Father forgive them"? |
43205 | Why and how are sane men and women overcome? |
43205 | Why are the fighters failing and falling all around us? |
43205 | Why could not our Civil War have been averted? |
43205 | Why did God reject the one and accept the other? |
43205 | Why did Judas sell his Lord?--He who had been so highly honoured: chosen, ordained, sent out? |
43205 | Why did the Prodigal Son do such an insane, sinful act? |
43205 | Why do men and women hurl themselves over the precipice of vice and deadly indulgences-- when even a novice might easily see the inevitable? |
43205 | Why does God allow or permit his ravages? |
43205 | Why does He keep back such privileges from you?" |
43205 | Why does He not protect His identity? |
43205 | Why have ten thousand prodigals since that day been guilty of the same insane conduct? |
43205 | Why is it so? |
43205 | Why is it the unchurched masses are continually drifting farther and farther from the Church and what it stands for? |
43205 | Why is not the wrath of God poured out on the children of the Devil who have assumed place and power in His Church? |
43205 | Why is there such an incessant effort to divert the minds of the best people from personal relationship of Jesus through faith in His blood? |
43205 | Why is this the status of our book makers? |
43205 | Why is true righteousness at such a discount? |
43205 | Why so much domestic discord, ending in ruin-- so many suicides? |
43205 | Why? |
43205 | Would it not be a terrible indictment? |
43205 | XII THE DOUBLE ACCUSER"Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? |
43205 | XIII SATAN A SPY"And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? |
43205 | or,"Why did you do it?" |
43205 | what does it do? |
43328 | ''Have you no recollection of me?'' 43328 ''I suppose you do n''t know me?'' |
43328 | ''Is it possible,''said Mr. Colby, when the embarrassment of the first shock of recognition was past,''that you have come up here to see me? 43328 And will the portals open To me who roamed so long Filthy and vile and burdened With this great weight of wrong? |
43328 | Colby put the question again,''When and where?'' |
43328 | Mr. Webster''s first salutation was--''This is Mr. Colby-- Mr. John Colby-- is it not?'' |
43328 | ''Is it possible that this is the little black lad that used to ride the horse to water? |
43328 | ''Who are you?'' |
43328 | Am I wrong in believing that you need no argument here, that no conviction is more sorrowfully intense with you than this? |
43328 | And in giving them up have you found something better and more sure to take their place? |
43328 | And is it worth our while-- yours or mine-- to make it? |
43328 | And is not this well for us? |
43328 | And suppose I can not prove that there is a God? |
43328 | And was your promise the folly of childhood? |
43328 | And when are these manifestations to end and how are they to end? |
43328 | And-- I put it to you in all candor-- is it all a lie? |
43328 | Are Mr.----''s doubts and denials more to be relied on than the positive beliefs of as intelligent and good men as the world has ever seen? |
43328 | Are you a Christian man? |
43328 | Are you a Christian? |
43328 | Are you a Christian? |
43328 | But does it follow that a thing is not good and true because you do not see it? |
43328 | But if I live as if there were no God and it should come to pass at last that there is, where am I? |
43328 | But what shall be said of such ravings? |
43328 | But, after all, is this decisive? |
43328 | Can he be all he ought to be? |
43328 | Can he be fairly answered? |
43328 | Can he do all he ought to do? |
43328 | Can he who is wrong make himself right? |
43328 | Can that, or anything approaching it, be said of any form of atheism or infidelity or unbelief? |
43328 | Can you make the future without error? |
43328 | Can you set right all the wrong and all the failure of the past? |
43328 | Daniel,''he added, with deep earnestness of voice,''Will you pray with me?'' |
43328 | Did she go out in final darkness? |
43328 | Did the thought of his mother open the door of his aching heart to his mother''s God and his mother''s Christ? |
43328 | Do you love Christ? |
43328 | Do you love the Lord Jesus Christ? |
43328 | Does it not at once bring hope to you-- a hope as great as it is mysterious? |
43328 | For what good would it do? |
43328 | Has he delivered me from all fear for the future? |
43328 | Has he made it well for me hereafter? |
43328 | Has he saved me beyond question from"the serpent of eternal pain"? |
43328 | Has life anything real? |
43328 | Have we no anchor that will hold as the storm drives us on through the blinding mists and gloom to the eternal shore? |
43328 | Have we no sure word of promise to which we can cling when everything else around us and under our feet is giving way? |
43328 | Have you heard him? |
43328 | How came we here? |
43328 | How can that existence be made a safe and satisfying one? |
43328 | I have had success, as the world goes, but what of it? |
43328 | If there is no God, does that make it certain that there will be no future suffering for any man? |
43328 | If they were wrong, of course you are right in parting with them; but is it certain they were wrong? |
43328 | If we came without a God, who will prove that without a God we may not go elsewhere, and that suffering may not go with us? |
43328 | In other words, are you willing to receive the kingdom of heaven as a little child-- to be saved, if saved you may be, in God''s own way? |
43328 | Is anything certain? |
43328 | Is it darkness for ever? |
43328 | Is it so? |
43328 | Is it worth living? |
43328 | Is it worth while for any man to spend his life in persuading us to make this exchange of despair? |
43328 | Is there a God? |
43328 | Is there a future existence for us? |
43328 | Is there a future state of existence? |
43328 | Is there any way in which our immortality can be assured to us as an immortal good? |
43328 | Is there no rift in this cloud? |
43328 | Is this Daniel? |
43328 | May I not know it to be real because I have felt its power? |
43328 | May it not be a reality-- a supreme reality-- though you do not see it or feel it? |
43328 | Must nations and men and the evening- moth alike go down and perish for ever under the crush of an inexorable fate? |
43328 | Nay, what assurance can Mr.---- give us that"Nature"is not a power that may in some future frenzy cast us into a state_ far worse_ than the present? |
43328 | Now, is it not possible that there may be something like this in religion? |
43328 | That is the only question that is worth asking or answering? |
43328 | The question still comes, Is the cause in the thing or in you? |
43328 | Was it all a delusion? |
43328 | What does it amount to? |
43328 | What is to be the end of it all? |
43328 | Which is the more reasonable? |
43328 | Who knows? |
43328 | Will you bear with me if I recall another and a later scene? |
43328 | Will you go now a step farther? |
43328 | You ask,"What_ is_''the way of settlement that the Bible opens to the great questions that press us?''" |
43328 | You may be a_ great_ man: are you a_ good_ man? |
43328 | You remember the Beethoven concert we once attended together in B----? |
43328 | _ Is the Bible true?_ That is the simple but momentous question; it settles all other questions of most concern to men. |
43328 | and how did suffering come here? |
43328 | or is there the light of an eternal day? |
43328 | said he;''pray, when and where?'' |
33341 | And He called them unto Him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 33341 Did you ever preach about Noah?" |
33341 | Did you ever study his character? |
33341 | Many conversions here? |
33341 | Many conversions? |
33341 | Many what? |
33341 | What makes you feel so joyful? |
33341 | What makes you so full of joy? |
33341 | You do n''t know? |
33341 | AFTER LOVE, WHAT? |
33341 | And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? |
33341 | And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? |
33341 | And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? |
33341 | And what right has a messenger who has been sent of God to change the message? |
33341 | Are you in sorrow? |
33341 | Are you in tribulation? |
33341 | Are you in trouble? |
33341 | As they passed over Jordan, Elijah said to Elisha,"Now, what do you want?" |
33341 | But suppose a man comes to me and says,"Mr. Moody, do you know that such a man that I met to- day says that he thinks a great deal of you?" |
33341 | Can you think of a man or woman whom God has used to build His kingdom who has lost hope? |
33341 | Dear reader, search your heart and inquire, Have I done anything to grieve the Spirit of God? |
33341 | Did you ever notice this, that no man or woman is ever used by God to build up His kingdom who has lost hope? |
33341 | Did you? |
33341 | Do n''t we want hope in our lives? |
33341 | Do n''t we want it? |
33341 | Do n''t we want liberty? |
33341 | Do n''t we want to be hopeful? |
33341 | Do n''t you think that Peter would have stood up there and beat against the air, while these Jews would have gnashed their teeth and mocked him? |
33341 | Do you have to learn to love your mother?" |
33341 | Do you know I fell in love with the birds? |
33341 | Do you know what heaven''s measure is? |
33341 | Do you know what the Word of God pronounces against that fearful sin? |
33341 | Do you know why? |
33341 | Do you remember the day you were converted? |
33341 | Do you think that Peter and James and John and those apostles doubted it from that very hour? |
33341 | Do you think you could have enticed Elisha from Elijah at that moment? |
33341 | From whence its source? |
33341 | Have I to read all the infidel books that are written, to hear both sides? |
33341 | Have I to take up a book that is a slander on my Lord and Master, who has redeemed me with His blood? |
33341 | Have we been toiling all night? |
33341 | Have you this fullness? |
33341 | He ate the words, and what was the result? |
33341 | How are you going to do it without the Spirit? |
33341 | How are you to do it without the power of God? |
33341 | How ignorant of His grace, and love and presence we have been? |
33341 | How long?" |
33341 | How many are there in the church to- day, who have been members for fifteen or twenty years, but have never done a solitary thing for Jesus Christ? |
33341 | I said to a man some time ago,"How are you getting on at your church?" |
33341 | I said,"What did you preach about?" |
33341 | I thought, what greater work could any man do than Christ had done? |
33341 | I venture to say there are very many, who, if you were to ask them,"Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?" |
33341 | If it was a message from God, do you think you would have to go into a dark room and put out all the lights? |
33341 | If some friend should say it is great, it might be very small; but when the Lord, the great and mighty God, says it is great, what must it be? |
33341 | If we get our heart filled with the Word of God, how is Satan going to get in? |
33341 | Is that an unmeaning metaphor, or an over- worded expression? |
33341 | Jesus gives peace; and do you know there is a good deal of difference between His peace and our peace? |
33341 | Need we hide in the darkness, consulting with mediums, who profess to call up the spirits of the dead? |
33341 | Now the question comes up, have we the love of God shed abroad in our hearts, and are we holding the truth in love? |
33341 | Or else how can one enter into a strong man''s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? |
33341 | Read 1st Corinthians iii, 16:"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" |
33341 | Shall I wait? |
33341 | Some people say,"Is not conscience a safer guide than the Word and the Spirit?" |
33341 | Teach them what? |
33341 | That is pretty plain language, is n''t it? |
33341 | The great question before us now is,_ Do_ we want it? |
33341 | They came to Bethel, and the sons of the prophets came out and said to Elisha,"Do you know that your master is to be taken away?" |
33341 | Think what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father''s smiles are thine; Think that Jesus died to win thee: Child of heaven, canst thou repine? |
33341 | WHAT IS SUCCESS? |
33341 | WHAT IS THE TESTIMONY? |
33341 | WHEREIN HAVE WE ROBBED GOD? |
33341 | Was not your heart full of sweet peace and love? |
33341 | Was the word not haste?" |
33341 | We are told that the Comforter is sent into the world to"guide us into all truth,"and if He is sent for that purpose, do we need any other guide? |
33341 | We are told that this is the sword of the Spirit; and what is an army good for that does not know how to use its weapons? |
33341 | Well, why this difference? |
33341 | What did He leave us for? |
33341 | What is that but table- rapping, and cabinet- hiding? |
33341 | What is the trouble? |
33341 | What is this power needed? |
33341 | What is this quickening and inspiration? |
33341 | What then must be the crime of the professed teacher who speaks of himself, or some insipid theory, leaving out Christ and His Gospel? |
33341 | What would you think of a man or woman who seemed very happy to- day and full of joy, and could n''t tell you what made them so? |
33341 | When preaching in Chicago, Dr. Gibson remarked in the inquiry meeting,"Now, how can we find out who is thirsty?" |
33341 | Why, have n''t you seen ministers in the pulpit just pumping, and pumping and pumping? |
33341 | Why? |
33341 | Why? |
33341 | Would we not think such a person unreasonable? |
33341 | You may be invited to a party, and it may be made up of church members, and what will be the conversation? |
33341 | You may say:"Is there any danger of my loving my family too much?" |
33341 | did we hear Thee aright, Lord? |
33341 | for the living to the dead?" |
33341 | is there not a perishing world, groaning for the''good news?''" |
21881 | How long? |
21881 | Pain,it may be asked,"in the Presence of Christ?" |
21881 | And at death, who is pure? |
21881 | And if it is never to be pacified, and never yields, what shall hinder it from going on up to and beyond the Day of Judgment? |
21881 | And what instruction? |
21881 | And what other reason can there be than that, during it, there is something to be done which can only be done then? |
21881 | And what was it that was"commonly said"? |
21881 | And what was the theme of their conversation? |
21881 | And when we think of it, does it not seem to belong to GOD''S eternal justice that souls should not be condemned for that which they could not help? |
21881 | And why should they not be ambassadors for Christ there, if Christ''s work has to be done there? |
21881 | And will not this be so when the profoundest sleep of all falls upon the body? |
21881 | And will there not be with the amazing surprise at these revelations a strange and unaccountable gladness? |
21881 | And, in truth, is it not the case that the Bible over and over again speaks of death as a state of sleep or taking rest? |
21881 | Are we to pray for those whom we dearly love up to the very last moment of their life, and then for ever to refrain? |
21881 | At death to any? |
21881 | But did He? |
21881 | But does the Bible throw any light upon this mysterious subject? |
21881 | But is it a time of mere waiting, and of unemployed quiescence? |
21881 | But is prayer to be one sided? |
21881 | But is this dread of death nothing else than the natural instinctive shrinking, which the warmth of life feels at the touch of its cold hand? |
21881 | But then, during that time, is not the soul asleep? |
21881 | But, if this be so, why, it may be asked, did not our Lord speak in plainer and more definite language? |
21881 | But, no less, at the thought of the soul''s past blindness and persistence in ill- doing, will there not be an exquisite pain? |
21881 | But, now, what are we to think? |
21881 | Can they not do what Christ''s human spirit did? |
21881 | Can we be surprised that it sternly condemned it? |
21881 | Can we fully understand what is meant by the life of the spiritual part of our being when it is separated from the body? |
21881 | Do they pray for us? |
21881 | Do we not know almost nothing as to the limits of the powers of the spirit world? |
21881 | Do we not know, even here on earth, how near to each other very often are joy and sorrow? |
21881 | Does it begin with dying? |
21881 | Does not our own Prayer Book sanction this view in her Service for the Burial of the Dead? |
21881 | For of what is the soul still conscious? |
21881 | How else could the thief have been in any true sense with Christ? |
21881 | If not, what is the soul, and what is the spirit?" |
21881 | In what condition were they present? |
21881 | May we, then, pray for those who have passed on before us? |
21881 | On the very threshold of this enquiry we are confronted with this question:"Is the soul the same thing as the spirit? |
21881 | The Lord is the strength of our life: of whom then shall we be afraid? |
21881 | Then is it not possible for such as those in all ages to receive the teaching in the Intermediate Life which they never received in this? |
21881 | Thus S. John bent back upon our Lord''s breast at the Last Supper to ask Him,"Lord, who is it?" |
21881 | Was Paradise then another name for heaven? |
21881 | Was it not so to our Blessed Lord Himself? |
21881 | Was it not to call him from life to death, rather than from death to life? |
21881 | Was there no other way of consoling the living sisters, than by so great a loss to the vanished brother? |
21881 | Was this the act of Him Who loved Lazarus? |
21881 | What again does the great S. Paul say? |
21881 | What are we to think of such as these? |
21881 | What can they do for the souls of others? |
21881 | What could more deepen penitence? |
21881 | What did He proclaim? |
21881 | What does S. John say? |
21881 | What does this really imply,--to be"with Christ"? |
21881 | What is dying? |
21881 | What is it but the obtrusive hindrance of the body? |
21881 | What is it which makes memory in this life so imperfect? |
21881 | What is this work? |
21881 | What says S. Peter? |
21881 | What shall be said of these honest unbelievers, and, scarcely through their own fault, blind? |
21881 | What shall we think? |
21881 | What then entered Paradise? |
21881 | What then follows from this? |
21881 | What then is the belief that we have learned from this single passage? |
21881 | What then is the spirit in man? |
21881 | What then? |
21881 | What, however, does the Thirty- first Article precisely mean by"Sacrifices of Masses"? |
21881 | What, then, are the conditions on which we may rely as grounds for legitimate inferences? |
21881 | What, then, can we learn from them? |
21881 | What, then, follows from the soul''s consciousness in and through the passage of death? |
21881 | What, then, follows from this? |
21881 | When then does this purification begin? |
21881 | When, then, shall this vision be granted? |
21881 | Where then could they be, if not on earth, nor yet in heaven? |
21881 | Where was this? |
21881 | Wherein then lies the error of it? |
21881 | Who is free from stain? |
21881 | Who is perfect, that he should be fit to look upon GOD? |
21881 | Who of us, the best of us, does not feel within him the bitterness of the lingering poison, which sin has deposited in his heart? |
21881 | Whom then shall we fear? |
21881 | Why should Christ preach to those and not to these? |
21881 | Why should he, as it were, come away from heaven and rise from the dead, in order to be judged? |
21881 | Why should it be so? |
21881 | and how, in hell, shall any wretched soul receive in any truth the due rewards of good deeds done on earth? |
21881 | { 104} And is not the custom reasonable? |
21881 | { 15} What has the Bible then to say about this Intermediate State? |
21881 | { 8} But how shall any receive in heaven the due reward of evil deeds done on earth? |
29557 | Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? 29557 That worthy Name"; who is He? |
29557 | Whom have I in heaven but Thee? 29557 And do we not want more of it? 29557 And is it so-- I shall be like Thy Son? 29557 And then His eyes opened and in loving tenderness He said unto them,Why are ye so fearful, O ye of little faith?" |
29557 | And what brought about Ephraim''s conversion? |
29557 | And what do we behold about us? |
29557 | And what else do we find here? |
29557 | And what else? |
29557 | And where is He dishonored? |
29557 | And why? |
29557 | Are days, weeks, perhaps months of wandering your past, days in which you grieved Him? |
29557 | Are we more devoted to Him? |
29557 | Are we willing to have it? |
29557 | But has this changed His Love? |
29557 | But how is He dishonored and robbed of His Glory? |
29557 | But is it really so-- all the vain things that charm us most-- we''d sacrifice them to His blood? |
29557 | But is it so,"and pour contempt on all our pride?" |
29557 | But is it so? |
29557 | But the day was to come when Ephraim would willingly forsake all idols and cry out,"What have I any more to do with idols?" |
29557 | But what does this glorious vision mean to_ us?_ What does it teach us? |
29557 | But what does this glorious vision mean to_ us?_ What does it teach us? |
29557 | But what is this fulness of which we receive and receive so abundantly? |
29557 | But who can begin to tell out what that is, grace upon grace? |
29557 | But who can tell out what a pre- eminence, the pre- eminence of the Lord Jesus Christ is? |
29557 | Can we do anything less than to give Him the first place in all things? |
29557 | Can we truly say the Lord is more precious to our hearts and that we are living more in His presence than ever before? |
29557 | Do we all enjoy this now in faith? |
29557 | Do we live in the power of all this? |
29557 | Do we not need it? |
29557 | Do you appreciate Him more than ever before? |
29557 | Do you give Him the pre- eminence to whom God has given the pre- eminence in all things? |
29557 | Do you have a greater burning desire in your heart for Himself? |
29557 | Do you live in the daily enjoyment of His love? |
29557 | Do you often weep over your coldheartedness, your lack of real devotion to Him and communion with your Lord? |
29557 | Do you sing this Glory song? |
29557 | Does He, that worthy Name, become more and more day by day the absorbing object of your heart and life? |
29557 | Does your faith lay hold of this? |
29557 | Has He become the absorbing object of our hearts and lives? |
29557 | Has He said the end is near? |
29557 | Has our unfaithfulness, our waywardness, our failure and backsliding affected His Love? |
29557 | Hast thou heard Him, seen Him, known Him? |
29557 | Have you failed Him? |
29557 | How can we honor the Beloved One if we have fellowship with that which dishonors Him? |
29557 | I AM-- what? |
29557 | If this is real how can we be conformed to this world? |
29557 | In a day when He, who is worthy, is but little praised, do you praise Him thus? |
29557 | Is it really so that you enter deeper and deeper into that love which passeth knowledge? |
29557 | Is it so that the Lord Jesus Christ becomes daily more real and precious to us? |
29557 | Is not thine a captured heart? |
29557 | Is the Apostle''s longing cry"that I might know Him"coming also from your heart? |
29557 | Is the warmth of His Love, the Love of Christ refreshing your soul? |
29557 | Is this the grace which He for me has won? |
29557 | Is your cry, dear reader, for more reality in this fellowship? |
29557 | Is your heart increasingly attracted to that worthy Name? |
29557 | Lord Jesus, are we one with Thee? |
29557 | O, child of God, is not thy poor wandering heart beginning to be warmed? |
29557 | Oh, Jesus, Lord, who loved me like to Thee? |
29557 | Reader can you add your"Amen"--your,"be it so"to all this? |
29557 | Shall we ever find out all which the written Word reveals of Himself and His worthiness? |
29557 | Should we then turn back to it and enjoy its pleasures and ambitions? |
29557 | The blessed One of God is rejected, can our hearts be satisfied with anything less than being rejected too? |
29557 | There from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flowed mingled down; Did e''er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? |
29557 | They crown Him King on high; Shall we not crown Him here, The blessed Christ of Calvary, To ransomed sinners dear? |
29557 | They worship Him above, Shall we not worship too, The Son of God, the Lord of love, To whom all praise is due? |
29557 | Up there they see His Face, The Lamb who once was slain, And in a new song praise His Grace; Shall we not join the strain? |
29557 | Was it a frown of displeasure which Peter saw in that beloved face? |
29557 | Was it a look of reproach? |
29557 | What could be more lamentable? |
29557 | What happened? |
29557 | What has stript the seeming beauty From the idols of the earth? |
29557 | What have I to Do With idols? |
29557 | What have I to do any more with idols? |
29557 | What is to be our attitude? |
29557 | What it all will mean? |
29557 | What judgments will fall then upon a wicked world and be meted out upon the enemies of Christ? |
29557 | What then is necessary? |
29557 | What then is the doctrine of Christ? |
29557 | What will it be when His Patience is ended? |
29557 | What will it be when the kingdom and the Patience of Jesus Christ give way to the kingdom and Glory of Jesus Christ? |
29557 | What will it mean when His Patience is ended? |
29557 | Who can describe it? |
29557 | Who can fathom these names? |
29557 | Who can tell out His worth? |
29557 | Who discards the garb of winter Till the summer has begun? |
29557 | Who extinguishes their taper Till they hail the rising sun? |
29557 | Who is Elias? |
29557 | Who is Moses? |
29557 | Who is this King of Glory? |
29557 | Why are Christians half- hearted, conformed to this present evil age, given to covetousness, which is idolatry( Col. iii:5)? |
29557 | Why are God''s people joined to idols? |
29557 | Why do real Christians, who know the truth and even know and speak of His Second Coming go along with the world and delight in its ways? |
29557 | Why should He repeat the same greeting? |
29557 | Will it ever stop? |
27349 | Are ye also deceived or led astray? |
27349 | Art thou Elias? 27349 Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me?" |
27349 | Let her alone; why trouble ye her? 27349 Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?" |
27349 | Then it is nothing to thee? 27349 Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?" |
27349 | Wilt thou, indeed? |
27349 | --"Who art thou, then?" |
27349 | ... Art thou that prophet?" |
27349 | And do thy kisses like the rest betray? |
27349 | As himself? |
27349 | Besides, may not night have been the best time for a public and prominent man to see Jesus? |
27349 | But how about ourselves? |
27349 | But if himself he come to thee, and stand*** And reach to thee himself the Holy Cup,*** Pallid and royal, saying,"Drink with me,"Wilt thou refuse? |
27349 | But to take money as the price of betraying a friend-- could any sin be baser? |
27349 | But what of the friendship of the dying son for his mother? |
27349 | But what was the friendship to Jesus? |
27349 | But who will say to- day that it was not worth while? |
27349 | Can we doubt that in all these reiterations and warnings on the one subject, Judas was in the Master''s mind? |
27349 | Christ or pleasure? |
27349 | Christ or self? |
27349 | Christ or sin? |
27349 | Could any crime be blacker than that? |
27349 | Did I yesterday Wash thy feet, my beloved, that they should run Quick to deny me''neath the morning sun? |
27349 | Did a friend bring him? |
27349 | Did he hear him speak one day, and find himself drawn to him by the power of his gracious words? |
27349 | Did he learn of the new rabbi through the fame of him that went everywhere, and then come to him without solicitation? |
27349 | Do we always give our best to Christ? |
27349 | Do we not too often give him only what is left after we have served ourselves? |
27349 | Does it dissolve the bonds which here have been so strong? |
27349 | Does the great ocean need the little dewdrop that hides in the bosom of the rose? |
27349 | For art not Thou The human shadow of the infinite Love That made and fills the endless universe? |
27349 | God or mammon-- which? |
27349 | Had not the time come for miracle- working? |
27349 | How about ourselves? |
27349 | How did Jesus love his disciples? |
27349 | How does Jesus comfort his friends who are left? |
27349 | How goes the battle in your soul? |
27349 | How would John''s stern, rugged, unsocial nature have affected the gentle spirit of Jesus? |
27349 | How, then, are our prayers answered? |
27349 | I have a life in Christ to live, I have a death in Christ to die; And must I wait till science give All doubts a full reply? |
27349 | In his own anguish does he notice her? |
27349 | Is it his power as revealed in his miracles? |
27349 | Is it his sinlessness? |
27349 | Is it his wonderful teaching? |
27349 | Is it the perfect beauty of his character? |
27349 | It was a cry of deep disappointment which came from his lips,"Could ye not watch with me one hour?" |
27349 | May we not conclude that it will be with us even as it was with Jesus? |
27349 | Mrs. Browning asked Charles Kingsley,"What is the secret of your life? |
27349 | Must it be always so With precious things? |
27349 | Must they be bruised, and go With beaten wings? |
27349 | My flesh, my Lord!--what name? |
27349 | Or did Jesus seek him out in his home or at his work, and call him to be a follower? |
27349 | Or do friendships go on through death, interrupted for a little time only, to be taken up again in the life beyond? |
27349 | Peter asked him,"Lord, whither goest thou?" |
27349 | The answer of Jesus startles us:"Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
27349 | The issue was his money or Jesus-- which? |
27349 | The much- enduring wisdom, sought By lonely prayer the haunted rocks among? |
27349 | Then she asked, amid her tears,"But why did you never tell him these things while he was living?" |
27349 | Then they ask,"Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
27349 | Then, who can tell what blessings have gone out from that farewell into the whole Church of Christ through all the centuries? |
27349 | There is a tone of reproach in her words,"Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |
27349 | They asked,"Rabbi, where abidest thou?" |
27349 | Thomas could not understand the Master''s meaning, and said,"Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?" |
27349 | WHEN? |
27349 | WHERE? |
27349 | Was it not a waste of force, of power, to send two to the same place? |
27349 | Was it worth while to be born, and to go through years of severe training, only for such a fragment of living? |
27349 | Was there no commandment before Jesus came and gave it that good men should love one another? |
27349 | Was this rule of love altogether new with him? |
27349 | What are the qualities of a true friend as illustrated in the life of Jesus? |
27349 | What blessing or inspiration of love can any poor, marred, stained life give to the soul of the Christ? |
27349 | What could be done? |
27349 | What could he find in this world of imperfect, sinful beings to meet the cravings of his heart for fellowship? |
27349 | What effect has dying on the human affections? |
27349 | What impression would the brightness, sweetness, and affectionateness of Jesus have made on the temper and disposition of John? |
27349 | What is friendship as interpreted by Jesus? |
27349 | What is it that gives the gospel its resistless power? |
27349 | What is its character? |
27349 | What is this love which it is the one great lesson of life to learn? |
27349 | What light can a dim candle give to the sun? |
27349 | What place had the denial in the story of the training of Peter? |
27349 | What satisfaction could his heart find in this world''s deepest and holiest love? |
27349 | What sayest thou of thyself?" |
27349 | What shall be the relations there of those who in the present life have been united in friendship? |
27349 | When we think of him as the Son of God, the question arises, Did he really care for personal friendships with men and women of the human family? |
27349 | Where faith? |
27349 | Where grows the golden grain? |
27349 | Where is the lore the Baptist taught, The soul unswerving and the fearless tongue? |
27349 | Where sympathy? |
27349 | Who counts it gain His light should wane, So the whole world to Jesus throng? |
27349 | Who is winning on your field-- Christ or money? |
27349 | Whom could he find among earth''s sinful creatures worthy of his friendship, or capable of being in any real sense his personal friend? |
27349 | Why by two and two? |
27349 | Why did he so discourage this earnest seeker? |
27349 | Why was this called a new commandment? |
27349 | Why were the broad invitations of the heart of Jesus so narrowed in their practical application? |
27349 | With all the world to evangelize, would it not have been better if they had gone out one by one? |
27349 | Yes, why not? |
27349 | Yet, beautiful as was their deed that day, who will not say that it came too late for fullest honoring of the Master? |
27349 | You say the man paid stiffly? |
27349 | art thou then a common stone Which I at last must break my heart upon, For all God''s charge to his high angels may Guard my foot better? |
18513 | And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? |
18513 | Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him:"Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" |
18513 | And Jesus answered and said unto him,"What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?" |
18513 | And Jesus answered and said unto them:"Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? |
18513 | And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple:"How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? |
18513 | And Jesus answering said unto him,"Seest thou these great buildings? |
18513 | And Jesus answering said unto them,"Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? |
18513 | And Jesus said unto him,"Why callest thou me good? |
18513 | And Jesus said unto them:"Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? |
18513 | And Jesus said,"Let her alone; why trouble ye her? |
18513 | And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said:"Who touched my clothes?" |
18513 | And Pilate answered and said again unto them:"What will ye then that I shall do unto him who ye call the King of the Jews?" |
18513 | And Pilate asked him again, saying,"Answerest thou nothing? |
18513 | And Pilate asked him,"Art thou the King of the Jews?" |
18513 | And are not his sisters here with us?" |
18513 | And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying:"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" |
18513 | And certain of them that stood there said unto them,"What do ye, loosing the colt?" |
18513 | And he answered and said unto them:"What did Moses command you?" |
18513 | And he answered them, saying:"Who is my mother, or my brethren?" |
18513 | And he asked his father,"How long is it ago since this came unto him?" |
18513 | And he asked the scribes,"What question ye with them?" |
18513 | And he asked them:"How many loaves have ye?" |
18513 | And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables:"How can Satan cast out Satan? |
18513 | And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them,"What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?" |
18513 | And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter,"Simon, sleepest thou? |
18513 | And he said unto them,"How is it that ye do not understand?" |
18513 | And he said unto them,"What would ye that I should do for you?" |
18513 | And he said unto them:"Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him? |
18513 | And he said unto them:"Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? |
18513 | And he said unto them:"Know ye not this parable? |
18513 | And he said unto them:"Why are ye so fearful? |
18513 | And he said:"Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? |
18513 | And he saith unto them,"But whom say ye that I am?" |
18513 | And he saith unto them,"Whose is this image and superscription?" |
18513 | And he saith unto them:"Are ye so without understanding also? |
18513 | And he saith unto them:"Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? |
18513 | And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith:"Why doth this generation seek after a sign? |
18513 | And he taught, saying unto them:"Is it not written,''My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer?'' |
18513 | And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow; and they awake him, and say unto him:"Master, carest thou not that we perish?" |
18513 | And his disciples answered him:"From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?" |
18513 | And his disciples said unto him:"Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou,''Who touched me?''" |
18513 | And how then will ye know all parables? |
18513 | And if any man say unto you,''Why do ye this?'' |
18513 | And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed[ Transcriber''s note: strewed?] |
18513 | And she went forth, and said unto her mother,"What shall I ask?" |
18513 | And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him,"Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?" |
18513 | And the Pharisees said unto him:"Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?" |
18513 | And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying:"Answerest thou nothing? |
18513 | And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said,"Why was this waste of the ointment made? |
18513 | And they asked him, saying,"Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?" |
18513 | And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one,"Is it I?" |
18513 | And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another:"What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" |
18513 | And they reasoned with themselves, saying,"If we shall say,''From heaven;''he will say,''Why then did ye not believe him?'' |
18513 | And they said among themselves:"Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?" |
18513 | And they say unto him:"Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?" |
18513 | And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying:"What thing is this? |
18513 | And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves,"Who then can be saved?" |
18513 | And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them:"Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? |
18513 | And when he was come in, he saith unto them:"Why make ye this ado, and weep? |
18513 | And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately:"Why could not we cast him out?" |
18513 | Art thou come to destroy us? |
18513 | But Jesus said unto them,"Ye know not what ye ask; can ye drink of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" |
18513 | But Pilate answered them, saying:"Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?" |
18513 | But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them:"Why tempt ye me? |
18513 | But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts:"Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? |
18513 | CHAPTER VI IS NOT HE THE CARPENTER? |
18513 | Couldest not thou watch one hour? |
18513 | David therefore himself calleth him''Lord''; and whence is he then his son?" |
18513 | For he said unto him:"Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit,"And he asked him:"What is thy name?" |
18513 | For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
18513 | Have ye your heart yet hardened? |
18513 | Having eyes, see ye not, and having ears, hear ye not, and do ye not remember? |
18513 | He answereth him, and saith,"O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? |
18513 | He saith unto them:"How many loaves have ye? |
18513 | How is it that ye have no faith?" |
18513 | How long shall I suffer you? |
18513 | IS NOT HE THE CARPENTER? |
18513 | In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them, for the seven had her to wife?" |
18513 | Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? |
18513 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
18513 | Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? |
18513 | Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? |
18513 | Shall we give, or shall we not give?" |
18513 | The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? |
18513 | Then Pilate said unto them,"Why, what evil hath he done?" |
18513 | Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him:"Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?" |
18513 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith,"What need we any further witnesses? |
18513 | What is it which these witness against thee?" |
18513 | What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? |
18513 | When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?" |
18513 | Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy,''Thy sins be forgiven thee;''or to say,''Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?'' |
18513 | Who can forgive sins but God only?" |
18513 | Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye?" |
18513 | and another said,"Is it I?" |
18513 | and not to be set on a candlestick? |
18513 | or with what comparison shall we compare it? |
18513 | to save life, or to kill?" |
18513 | what new doctrine is this? |
18513 | which is, being interpreted,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
40285 | After six daysfrom what time? |
40285 | After six daysfrom what time? |
40285 | And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? 40285 Do you understand me?" |
40285 | Drink ye all of itis my father''s command; for who can tell whether the family circle shall remain unbroken until the Easter festival? |
40285 | How is{ 253} the_ kummer_? |
40285 | How think ye? 40285 Knowing what a treasure they possessed,"he observes,"how could they be so long without looking on it? |
40285 | So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? 40285 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" |
40285 | The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 40285 What are your years?" |
40285 | What children have you? |
40285 | What is the precious name? |
40285 | What men does your clan count? |
40285 | What was Jesus thinking of,he would say,"when he{ 123} uttered these words? |
40285 | Whence has your excellent presence[_ heth- retek_] come, and whither are you facing? |
40285 | [ 1] A miracle? 40285 [ 1] Where in human literature can we find a passage to surpass in beauty and tenderness this introspective utterance? |
40285 | [ 2] How would this great utterance sound if given in the nice, cautious language of anup- to- date"thinker? |
40285 | [ 4] Is it not really worth while to fear and to suffer, if by so doing one is brought so close to God? 40285 ( what is its religion?) 40285 Again,If one is not good to those that are his kin, what must he be to strangers?" |
40285 | And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? |
40285 | And I deem it essential at this point to ask,{ 46} Whither is the spirit of the present age leading us? |
40285 | And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? |
40285 | And Jesus said, Who touched me? |
40285 | And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?" |
40285 | And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; wherefore standest thou without? |
40285 | And who can estimate the debt which humanity owes to the Sufferer of Calvary? |
40285 | Are we drifting away from the mount of vision? |
40285 | But what formed such designs against you, love or hatred? |
40285 | But why allow shallow curiosity to weaken one''s faith in the great spiritual principle which underlies all such beliefs? |
40285 | Consequently as a_ divine_ being speaking to a_ human_ being, Jesus said to his earthly mother,"Woman, what is mine and what is thine?" |
40285 | Could he not have opened the door? |
40285 | Could there be anything more profoundly and accurately interpretative of the deepest hopes of the human soul than this picture? |
40285 | Did Jesus{ 134} really mean that an offender should be forgiven four hundred and ninety times? |
40285 | Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? |
40285 | Do we not have irreconcilable contradictions in these Scriptural passages? |
40285 | Do you feel now the force of the allusion to the tares in the parable? |
40285 | Do you now understand fully the meaning{ 210} of the passage in the fourteenth chapter of Luke''s Gospel? |
40285 | Does not the Psalmist say,"Thou openest thine hand, and satisfieth the desire of every living thing"? |
40285 | Does not this sound exactly like the one hundred and ninth Psalm? |
40285 | For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and{ 113} lose his own soul?" |
40285 | For, how can one who is a traitor at heart reach for the gift of true friendship without being transformed into the very spirit of treason? |
40285 | His question,"Who can find a virtuous woman?" |
40285 | In asking a shepherd about his flock we said,"How are the blessed ones?" |
40285 | In inquiring about the nature of an object, he says,"_ Sho dinû_?" |
40285 | In rebuking one who makes unreasonable demands upon him, a Syrian would be likely to stoop down and say,"Do n''t you want to ride on my back?" |
40285 | In the eleventh chapter of St. Matthew''s Gospel, the sixteenth verse, he says,"But whereunto shall I liken this generation? |
40285 | Is not love of enemies beyond the power of human nature? |
40285 | Is not punishment which is guided by reason and sympathy, and whose end is corrective, really a great aid in character- building? |
40285 | It expresses the Syrian''s noblest idea of the true wife and the real home- maker:-- Who can find a virtuous woman? |
40285 | Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? |
40285 | O Ibrahim, did you care for my camel as you did for your camel?'' |
40285 | Shall we receive the gifts and forget the Giver? |
40285 | So he spoke to his friend:''Ibrahim, by the life of God, what has happened to my camel? |
40285 | So it was when the suspicious Saul asked his son,"Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday nor to- day?" |
40285 | The fact that they were_ all_ eating with him is shown in the statement,"They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him, Is it I? |
40285 | Then one of his friends approached near to the injured man and said to him,''Asaad, my beloved friend, how is your condition[_ kief halak_]?'' |
40285 | To such the question,"How can I be a true disciple of Christ, if I do not obey what he commands?" |
40285 | Was not this the very thing which the Master meant when he said,"This do in remembrance of me"? |
40285 | Was the_ whole city_ at the door? |
40285 | Well, what does it matter from what time? |
40285 | Were_ all_ the sick in that large city brought into that house for Jesus to heal them? |
40285 | What do we find here but evidences of a deep and sincere yearning for divine blessings to come upon the family and the home? |
40285 | What enemies have you in your native town?" |
40285 | Where else could our daily bread come from? |
40285 | Where were the bowels and tender solicitude of the mother? |
40285 | Which nutrition would you give your own soul and the souls of those who are near and dear to you, that of hatred, or that of love? |
40285 | Why be so prosy, brief, and abstract? |
40285 | Why did he do that? |
40285 | Why then should one be burdened with more? |
40285 | Will the heavenly Father do{ 138}_ likewise_? |
40285 | With amazement he exclaims,"For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" |
40285 | and am I not grieved with those that rise against thee? |
40285 | and the son of man, that thou visitest him?" |
40285 | and whence comest thou? |
40285 | from whence then hath it tares? |
40285 | means,"How do you stand financially?" |
40285 | or a parent about his children,"How are the preserved ones?" |
40285 | tell me, what hast thou in the house? |
40285 | till seven times? |
40285 | { 70} Is it therefore to be wondered at that in speaking of Judas, the writer of St. John''s Gospel says,"And after the sop Satan entered into him"? |
30561 | But what think ye? 30561 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying,''Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? |
30561 | Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? 30561 ***** And he said unto them,When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything?" |
30561 | Again therefore he asked them,"Whom seek ye?" |
30561 | And Jesus saith unto them,"Yea: did ye never read,''Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise''?" |
30561 | And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said,"Is it I, Rabbi?" |
30561 | And Pilate answered them, saying,"Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?" |
30561 | And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" |
30561 | And certain of them that stood there said unto them,"What do ye, loosing the colt?" |
30561 | And he said unto them a third time,"Why, what evil hath this man done? |
30561 | And he said unto them,"What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk?" |
30561 | And he said unto them,"What things?" |
30561 | And he said unto them,"Why are ye troubled? |
30561 | And he saith unto them,"Whose is this image and superscription?" |
30561 | And he taught, and said unto them,"Is it not written,''My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations''? |
30561 | And if any one say unto you,''Why do ye this?'' |
30561 | And none of the disciples durst inquire of him,"Who art thou?" |
30561 | And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying,"Art not thou the Christ? |
30561 | And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith,"What further need have we of witnesses? |
30561 | And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying,"Answerest thou nothing? |
30561 | And they blindfolded him and smote him with the palms of their hands, saying,"Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?" |
30561 | And they reasoned with themselves, saying,"If we shall say,''From heaven''; he will say unto us,''Why did ye not believe him?'' |
30561 | And they said one to another,"Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?" |
30561 | And they say unto her,"Woman, why weepest thou?" |
30561 | And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one,"Is it I, Lord?" |
30561 | And they were saying among themselves,"Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?" |
30561 | And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" |
30561 | And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying,"Answerest thou the high priest so?" |
30561 | And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow, and said unto Peter,"Simon, sleepest thou? |
30561 | And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying,"Who is this?" |
30561 | And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? |
30561 | And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?'' |
30561 | And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said,"Lord, shall we smite with the sword?" |
30561 | And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them,"Have ye here anything to eat?" |
30561 | Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?" |
30561 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
30561 | But Jesus perceived their craftiness, and said,"Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites? |
30561 | But Jesus said unto him,"Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?" |
30561 | But he answered and said unto them,"See ye not all these things? |
30561 | But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me,''Whither goest thou?'' |
30561 | But the governor answered and said unto them,"Which of the two will ye that I release unto you?" |
30561 | But the other answered, and rebuking him said,"Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
30561 | But they said,"What is that to us? |
30561 | Couldest thou not watch one hour? |
30561 | For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" |
30561 | For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? |
30561 | He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus''breast, saith unto him,"Lord, who is it?" |
30561 | He saith unto him again a second time,"Simon, son of John, lovest thou me?" |
30561 | He saith unto him the third time,"Simon, son of John, lovest thou me?" |
30561 | He saith unto him,"Lord, dost thou wash my feet?" |
30561 | He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou,''Show us the Father''? |
30561 | How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? |
30561 | If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?" |
30561 | In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? |
30561 | Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?" |
30561 | Is not he that sitteth at meat? |
30561 | Jesus answered him,"If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?" |
30561 | Jesus answered them,"Do ye now believe? |
30561 | Jesus answered,"Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?" |
30561 | Jesus saith unto her,"Woman, why weepest thou? |
30561 | Jesus saith unto him,"Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? |
30561 | Jesus saith unto him,"If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? |
30561 | Jesus therefore saith unto them,"Children, have ye aught to eat?" |
30561 | Jesus, therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them,"Whom seek ye?" |
30561 | Judas( not Iscariot) saith unto him,"Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?" |
30561 | Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?" |
30561 | Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? |
30561 | Now while the Pharisees were gathered together Jesus asked them a question, saying,"What think ye of the Christ? |
30561 | Or thinkest thou that I can not beseech my Father and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? |
30561 | Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus,"Lord, and what shall this man do?" |
30561 | Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time,"Lovest thou me?" |
30561 | Pilate answered,"Am I a Jew? |
30561 | Pilate saith unto him,"What is truth?" |
30561 | Pilate saith unto them,"Shall I crucify your King?" |
30561 | Pilate saith unto them,"What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ?" |
30561 | Pilate therefore entered again into the Prætorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him,"Art thou the King of the Jews?" |
30561 | Pilate therefore said unto him,"Art thou a king then?" |
30561 | Pilate therefore saith unto him,"Speakest thou not unto me? |
30561 | Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith,"What accusation bring ye against this man?" |
30561 | Simon Peter saith unto him,"Lord, whither goest thou?" |
30561 | So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them,"Know ye what I have done to you? |
30561 | So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,"Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these?" |
30561 | Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? |
30561 | That he will not come to the feast?" |
30561 | The baptism of John, whence was it? |
30561 | The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" |
30561 | The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter,"Art thou also one of this man''s disciples?" |
30561 | Then saith Pilate unto him,"Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?" |
30561 | They said therefore,"What is this that he saith,''A little while''? |
30561 | They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple,"What think ye? |
30561 | Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?" |
30561 | Thomas saith unto him,"Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?" |
30561 | What is it which these witness against thee?" |
30561 | When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid; and he entered into the Prætorium again, and saith unto Jesus,"Whence art thou?" |
30561 | When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?" |
30561 | Where is my guest- chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?'' |
30561 | Which of the two did the will of his father?" |
30561 | Whom seekest thou?" |
30561 | Why askest thou me? |
30561 | Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? |
30561 | Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold? |
30561 | Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye?" |
30561 | Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? |
30561 | and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?" |
30561 | and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart? |
30561 | from heaven or from men?" |
30561 | or athirst, and gave thee drink? |
30561 | or naked, and clothed thee? |
30561 | or who is he that gave thee this authority?" |
30561 | which is, being interpreted,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
30561 | who is this Son of man?" |
30561 | whose son is he?" |
12809 | Am I a_ Jew_? |
12809 | Art_ Thou_ the King of the Jews? |
12809 | Children of yesterday, Heirs of to- morrow, What are you weaving-- Labor and sorrow? 12809 Could I fear such a hand Stretched toward me? |
12809 | Do you really want to know about Me, or are you merely repeating something you have heard? |
12809 | Is the man a Galilean? |
12809 | Now is my innermost being agitated, all shaken up; and what decisive word shall I speak? 12809 Shall I crucify your King?" |
12809 | Simon, are you sleeping? 12809 Was there ever love, In earth or heaven, equal to this? |
12809 | What things? |
12809 | Which of the two will you choose? |
12809 | Why? 12809 < u> Suffering the Birth- pains of a New Life. Why did Jesus die? 12809 < u> Whom Moses Saw. What did Jesus say about Himself? 12809 A veiled glory? 12809 A_ long_ while? 12809 Again there likely came a bit of softening and curious interest in Pilate''s face, as he asks,Art Thou really a_ King_ then?" |
12809 | And they said to each other,"Did you ever hear such talking?" |
12809 | Angered by the silence on the part of the man he had been moved to help, Pilate hotly says,"Speakest Thou not to_ Me_? |
12809 | Because she was the weaker? |
12809 | But sure? |
12809 | Can it be, John asks, that there is to be another one coming to complete the picture? |
12809 | Canst thou not hear these charges against Thee?" |
12809 | Could it have been the same upper room where they had eaten_ with Him_ that never- to- be- forgotten night, and listened to His comforting words? |
12809 | Could the word gallantry be used? |
12809 | Could there be finer evidence of friendship than giving His friend John such a trust? |
12809 | Could you not be watching with me_ one hour_?" |
12809 | Did Jesus rise? |
12809 | Did Jesus''wondrous, quiet calm nettle the tempter? |
12809 | Did Satan doubt it? |
12809 | Did he really think that possibly Jesus would actually worship him? |
12809 | Did no temptation come those years to chafe a bit and fret and wonder and yearn after the great outside world? |
12809 | Did you ever long to hear God speak? |
12809 | Do you say it was for a short time only? |
12809 | Doubt that He Meets me full in sympathy? |
12809 | Eagerly they all blurt out,"Art Thou then the Son of God?" |
12809 | Had some Jerusalem spy gotten in and begun his poisoning work already? |
12809 | Had these Jerusalem men been working upon the fears of her mother heart for the safety of her Son? |
12809 | He asks,"What is this that you are so concerned about?" |
12809 | He would not abandon her? |
12809 | How could he? |
12809 | How much did he_ want_? |
12809 | How_ can_ He be the promised Messiah? |
12809 | How_ could_ Jesus accept such a rite for Himself? |
12809 | How_ could_ it be? |
12809 | In supposed righteous horror Caiaphas tore his garments, and cried,"What further need is there of witnesses? |
12809 | Is all their sleepless planning to be disturbed by this Roman heathen? |
12809 | Is he asking proof? |
12809 | Is it surprising that His ear and eye and heart, perhaps fresh from a bit of quiet morning talk with His Father, were shocked? |
12809 | Is it surprising that John''s Gospel has been pitched upon as the critics''chief battle- field of the New Testament? |
12809 | Jesus dispels the deception at once with His question of reproach,"Betrayest thou with a_ kiss_?" |
12809 | Jesus quietly replies,"If I have spoken something wrong tell me what it is, but if not, why do you strike Me?" |
12809 | Just what does it mean that we men were made in God''s likeness? |
12809 | Knowest Thou not I have the power to release or to crucify?" |
12809 | Looking into that face again with strangely mingling emotions, he puts the question,"Whence art Thou?" |
12809 | Misunderstand Or mistrust? |
12809 | More from-- which? |
12809 | Now, ca n''t we fix this thing up between us? |
12809 | One of the underlings of the high priest-- struck-- Jesus-- in the face, saying,"Answerest thou the high priest so?" |
12809 | Or, was He raised? |
12809 | Peter stammers out an embarrassed, mixed up denial,"I do n''t know what you mean-- I do n''t understand-- what do you say?" |
12809 | Quick as a flash of lightning the word shot from their lips and into his face,"_ Barabbas!_""What, then, shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" |
12809 | Quietly He asks,"Whom are you hunting for?" |
12809 | Shall I say,''Father, save me from this experience''? |
12809 | She would use her influence to save Him from possible danger threatening? |
12809 | Suddenly the presiding officer stands up and dramatically cries out, as though astonished,"Answerest thou nothing? |
12809 | The bitter obstinacy of the opposition? |
12809 | The chief priests''plotting? |
12809 | The disappointment in the kingdom plan? |
12809 | The great sacrifices Jesus had been enduring? |
12809 | The suffering and shame to be endured? |
12809 | Then He said,"Have you something to eat?" |
12809 | Then he speaks:"How much''ll you give if I get Jesus into your hands?" |
12809 | Then one of them says,"Do you lodge by yourself in the city, and even then do not know the things that have been going on there?" |
12809 | Then the hushed silence is broken by an agonizing cry from the lips of Jesus,"My God-- My God-- why-- didst-- Thou-- forsake-- Me?" |
12809 | Then two men in white apparel are in their midst and speak to them:"Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the heavens? |
12809 | There''s a tender yearning in that question,"Will ye also go away?" |
12809 | They are talking earnestly together, these three, about-- what? |
12809 | They ask sharply,"Who do you pretend to be? |
12809 | They say to her,"Why are you weeping?" |
12809 | Was He ever keener and quieter? |
12809 | Was He ever_ too_ tired-- over- tired-- like we get? |
12809 | Was it not needful that the Christ should suffer these very things and to enter into His glory?" |
12809 | Was it supposed friendship? |
12809 | Was there ever such mulish obstinacy? |
12809 | What can this mean? |
12809 | What does it mean? |
12809 | What evil has He done? |
12809 | What hast Thou done?" |
12809 | What is that?" |
12809 | What verdict do you give?" |
12809 | What was Jesus''motive or purpose in dying? |
12809 | When John the Baptist came, they asked,"Art thou_ the_ prophet?" |
12809 | Where would they begin where there was so much? |
12809 | Who that knows such a life, and knows the tempter, thinks_ he_ missed those years, and their subtle opportunity? |
12809 | Who thinks_ He_ missed_ that chance_ of fellowship with the great crowd of His race of brothers? |
12809 | Who wants to try a suspicious egg? |
12809 | Whom was she looking for? |
12809 | Whom? |
12809 | Why ask Me? |
12809 | Why did He? |
12809 | Why did Jesus go to John for baptism? |
12809 | Why did John say that? |
12809 | Why this sudden desire by the one closest to Him by natural ties to break into His very speaking for a special interview? |
12809 | Why was she weeping? |
12809 | Why were they seeking a living One in a tomb? |
12809 | Why"if"? |
12809 | Why? |
12809 | Will we never get away from the clocks in telling time? |
12809 | With a contemptuous curl of the lip instantly they come back with:"Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?" |
12809 | With a weary, impatient contempt, he says,"_ Truth_? |
28547 | Why do you ask me,said Simeon, on his deathbed,"what I_ like_? |
28547 | --Are you fearful and agitated in_ the prospect of death_? |
28547 | --Art thou a_ backslider_? |
28547 | --Art thou beaten down with some heavy_ trial_? |
28547 | --Is it some crushing trial, or overwhelming grief? |
28547 | --does the thought ever present itself,"What can I do for this great Being who hath done so much for me?" |
28547 | Ah? |
28547 | And can we wonder at such language? |
28547 | And if the foretaste of this rest be precious, what must be the glorious consummation? |
28547 | And shall I be afraid of a world already conquered? |
28547 | And what, then, should your attitude be? |
28547 | And who are those who can claim the blessedness spoken of under this wondrous imagery? |
28547 | And who has ever repented of that joyful servitude? |
28547 | And who is it that speaks these living"words,""What_ I_ do?" |
28547 | And who is it that speaks this quieting word? |
28547 | Are providences dark, or crosses heavy? |
28547 | Are thy loins girded, and thy lights burning? |
28547 | Are we to infer from this, that He winks at sin? |
28547 | Are your legion sins standing as a barrier between you and a Saviour''s proffered mercy? |
28547 | Art thou even now feeling the strength of thy corruptions, the weakness of thy graces, the presence of some outward or inward temptation? |
28547 | Art thou ready, with Gideon, to say,"If the Lord be indeed with us, why has all this befallen us?" |
28547 | Be not deceived or deluded with the mocker''s presumptuous challenge,"Where is the promise of His coming?" |
28547 | Believer, art thou in trouble? |
28547 | Believer, can you_ now_ say with some of the holy transport of the apostle,"Whom having not seen, we love?" |
28547 | But is not this very conviction of your want an indication of a feeble longing after Christ? |
28547 | But is there not, after all,_ one_ condition mentioned in this"word of Jesus?" |
28547 | Can the same be said of Satan, or sin? |
28547 | Canst thou say with a joyful heart,"O Lord, truly I am Thy servant?" |
28547 | Didst thou once run well? |
28547 | Do I look to the future? |
28547 | Do dark providences and severe afflictions seem to belie the truth and reality of this gracious assurance? |
28547 | Does the Christian''s path lie all the way through Beulah? |
28547 | Does the word, the look, of a suffering child get the eye and the heart of an_ earthly_ father? |
28547 | Dost thou know the blessedness of a vital and living union with a living, life- giving Saviour? |
28547 | Gracious"word"of a gracious Saviour, on which the soul may confidingly repose, and be at peace for ever? |
28547 | Has His word of promise ever proved false? |
28547 | Has His yoke been too grievous? |
28547 | Has bereavement severed earthly ties? |
28547 | Has the grave made forced estrangements,--sundered the closest links of earthly affection? |
28547 | Has thine own guilty apostacy alienated and estranged thee from that face which was once all love, and that service which was once all delight? |
28547 | Have thy tears been unalleviated-- thy sorrows unsolaced-- thy temptations above that thou wert able to bear? |
28547 | Have we"known and believed this love of God?" |
28547 | He led the children of Israel of old out of Egypt to their promised kingdom,--how? |
28547 | How different from other"sons of consolation?" |
28547 | How does He quiet their fears and misgivings? |
28547 | How much more tender is Jesus than the tenderest of earthly friends? |
28547 | Is it a seducing world-- a wandering, wayward heart? |
28547 | Is it"keeping( literally,''_ garrisoning_ as in a citadel'') your heart?" |
28547 | Is it_ bereavement_? |
28547 | Is it_ death_? |
28547 | Is it_ sickness_? |
28547 | Is the thought of thy sins-- the guilty past-- coming up in terrible memorial before thee, almost tempting thee to give way to hopeless despondency? |
28547 | Is there much of uncertainty and mystery hanging over it? |
28547 | Is this thine attitude--"_looking unto Jesus_?" |
28547 | It is He who died for us? |
28547 | Let this last"word"of thy Lord''s send thee to thy knees with the question,--"Am I indeed a servant of Christ?" |
28547 | Long going about"seeking rest and finding none,"does this"word"sound like music in thine ears--"_Come unto Me_?" |
28547 | My soul, is there aught that is disturbing thy peace? |
28547 | On whom does He lavish this unutterable affection? |
28547 | Reader, do you discredit the reality of this gracious offer? |
28547 | Reader, do you know the blessedness of confiding your every want and every care-- your every sorrow and every cross-- into the ear of the Saviour? |
28547 | Reader, do you realize your privilege-- living under the dispensation of the Spirit? |
28547 | Reader, hast thou attained any of this heart- purity and heart- preparation? |
28547 | Reader, hast thou found this blessed repose in the blood and work of Immanuel? |
28547 | Reader, is_ Satan_ assailing thee with tormenting fears? |
28547 | Shall we refuse to love Him more in return, who hath_ first_ loved, and so_ loved us_? |
28547 | The lowly Jewish women feared not; why? |
28547 | To- morrow, He is_ gone_; and the bereft spirit is led to interrogate itself in plaintive sorrow,--"Where is now thy God?" |
28547 | Tried believer, has He ever failed thee? |
28547 | What a heaping together of similar tender"words"with that which is here addressed to us? |
28547 | What are they? |
28547 | What peace is this? |
28547 | Where can a child be safer or better than in a father''s hand? |
28547 | Where can the believer be better than in the hands of his God? |
28547 | Who can tell what muffled and disguised"needs be"there may lurk under these world- tribulations? |
28547 | Why"no separation?" |
28547 | Why? |
28547 | Why? |
28547 | Why? |
28547 | Would Satan try to teach thee so? |
28547 | _ It is the Spirit''s unfolding of Jesus_--glorifying_ Him_ in eyes that before saw in Him no beauty? |
28547 | are you a fruit- bearer in your Lord''s vineyard? |
28547 | are you ready to faint under your tribulations? |
28547 | art thou solitary and desolate? |
28547 | art thou troubled and tempted? |
28547 | canst thou subscribe to these closing words of this gracious utterance? |
28547 | do you know this peace which passeth understanding? |
28547 | dost thou know this blessed servitude? |
28547 | has wave after wave been rolling in upon thee? |
28547 | hath the Lord forgotten to be gracious? |
28547 | have thy fondest schemes been blown upon-- thy fairest blossoms been withered in the bud? |
28547 | instead of thus being as weaned children, how apt are we to exercise ourselves in matters too high for us? |
28547 | is this thine attitude, as the expectant of thy Lord''s appearing? |
28547 | is thy life now"hid with Christ in God?" |
28547 | rather canst thou not testify,"The word of the Lord is tried;"I cast my burden upon Him, and He"sustained me?" |
53616 | If we deny all authenticity to Jesus''s teaching,we are asked,"what of Solon''s traditional lore?" |
53616 | Scores of such tombs remain,cries the critic:"were they all Mithraic?" |
53616 | What is there,he asks,"that can be compared with this in the religious literature of any other people?" |
53616 | Among the Fathers? |
53616 | Among the Popes? |
53616 | Among the apostles? |
53616 | Among the bishops? |
53616 | And every apostle who cometh to you, let him be received as[ the] Lord; but he shall not remain[ except for?] |
53616 | And if they were, was it in their power to effect this falsification with so great success?" |
53616 | And why do other utterances of the doctrines not"warm the heart"? |
53616 | Answerest thou nothing? |
53616 | Apostles to teach-- what? |
53616 | But Michael is a wholly post- exilic figure: was there no Hebrew prototype? |
53616 | But do none of the admitted inventions[ 399] in the gospels stultify the position of the believers? |
53616 | But when John is put as the Forerunner, acclaiming the Messiah, where is the subordination? |
53616 | But why should invention take this peculiar form? |
53616 | Disciples to learn-- what? |
53616 | Do not foreigners[ 477] do the same? |
53616 | Does he impute"wickedness"to the author of the fourth gospel, whom he represents as inventing discourses and episodes systematically? |
53616 | Every apostle is to be received"as the Lord; but he shall not remain[ except for?] |
53616 | For other purposes, he resorts( p. 16) to the test,"How do you know?" |
53616 | Had not Peter, in the legend, denied his Lord with curses, and Paul persecuted the Church to the death? |
53616 | How could the priests be more effectively impeached than by exhibiting them as producing plainly suborned evidence to convict Jesus? |
53616 | How many Maries, then, were mothers of James and Joses? |
53616 | How or when had the Nazaræans transcended that standpoint? |
53616 | How then did the organization begin and grow? |
53616 | If a strong impression of a personality be a certificate of historicity, what of Zeus and Hêrê, Athênê and Achilles, Ulysses and Nestor? |
53616 | If it be claimed as a result of the teaching of Jesus, what becomes of the other teaching as to the love of enemies? |
53616 | If it is not, upon what does the biographical theory found? |
53616 | If so, is it further contended that there must have been a historical Jehovah, a Jove, a Cybelê, a Juno, a Venus? |
53616 | If so, when did the change begin? |
53616 | If that be so, what amount of profundity goes to the whole construction of the faith? |
53616 | If the Father- Gods and Mother- Gods could be evolved by protracted mythopoeia, why not the Son- Gods? |
53616 | If the one set of passages are borrowed, why not the other? |
53616 | If the record admittedly invented utterances for the Teacher on the cross, why should not the whole be an invention? |
53616 | If there really occurred such a manipulation of the death- scene of an adored Teacher, how could the narrators possibly fail to say as much? |
53616 | If to quote"he is beside himself"is to prove historicity, why not quote the taunts to Jesus in the fourth gospel, nay, the crucifixion itself? |
53616 | In a curious passage of the fourth gospel( viii, 48) the Jews say to Jesus,"Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a daimon? |
53616 | In particular, why should not the trial before Pilate and the inscription on the cross be inventions? |
53616 | In what respect, then, are we to suppose Jesuist monotheism to have been an innovation? |
53616 | Is it claimed that there"must"have been a historical Herakles, or Dionysos, or Adonis? |
53616 | Is it pretended that claims to be the Son of God were normal in later Jewry? |
53616 | Is it then contended that a Sacred Book must represent the originative teaching of a real person and his disciples? |
53616 | Is it then in respect of mutual love and the forgiveness of enemies? |
53616 | Is it to be authenticated by the threat that it must go if we deny that the Sermon on the Mount is a sermon at all? |
53616 | Is not this another echo from the obscure tragedy of the sacrificial victim, who was anointed for his doom? |
53616 | Is not this the strict critical verdict, apart from any other issue? |
53616 | Is the motive of the story nothing better than the desire to record that Jesus was richly buried? |
53616 | M. Loisy, indeed, claims the pro- Samaritan passage as genuine: does he then admit the anti- Samaritan to be spurious? |
53616 | On the other hand, who were"we"for"Isaiah"if not Israel itself? |
53616 | The details of"mending their nets"and"in the boat with the hired servants"? |
53616 | The fragments of Solon''s verse purport to have been written by him: have we anything purporting to have been written by Jesus? |
53616 | The problem"What really happened?" |
53616 | The question,"What do you put in its place?" |
53616 | The scientific question is, Upon what grounds can he demur to the extension of a myth- theory to which he thus contributes? |
53616 | Then, still more abruptly than in the synoptics, we have the completion( vi, 70):--"Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" |
53616 | Was it because of Christian goodness that the decline of Rome was accelerated instead of being checked? |
53616 | Well, what of it? |
53616 | Were they really men of such wickedness that they sought to bring the true humanity of Jesus into acceptance by falsifying the Gospels? |
53616 | What doctrines then are meant, and what effects are posited? |
53616 | What idea, what teaching, had Jesus left them? |
53616 | Where is the difficulty? |
53616 | Which species of teaching is supposed to have represented the"personality"? |
53616 | Who or what then was Joshua? |
53616 | Who then produced the literature? |
53616 | XPS., DEI FILIUS= Dominus Noster Jesu(?) |
53616 | [ 154] But what does the biographical theory make of such a conclusion? |
53616 | [ 380] Is one realistic detail to pass for personal knowledge when the other is sheer typology? |
53616 | [ 405] Why then should an allegory of casting out polytheism have been framed concerning Galilee? |
53616 | [ 414] If the matter of the myth was ancient for Syria, why should not the names of the mother and the child be so? |
53616 | [ 464] Why then does it not warm the heart of Professor Schmiedel equally with the doctrine of the gospels? |
53616 | and are not his sisters with us?" |
53616 | the Professor''s work on The Johannine Writings, p. 90, where the same query:"Who could have invented them?" |
60669 | But must we not believe on him? |
60669 | But you do not mean to say that you speak against praying, and reading good books, and so on? |
60669 | Do you mean,says one,"that I am to believe if I once trust Christ I shall be saved whatever sin I may choose to commit?" |
60669 | Are you not eager to be at once forgiven? |
60669 | Are you saved?" |
60669 | Are you still an unbeliever? |
60669 | Are you willing to remain an awakened one, and nothing more? |
60669 | But his soul- sufferings, which were the soul of his sufferings, who can even conceive, much less express, what they were? |
60669 | But if for some reason I had a doubt about it, and yet wished to believe the news, how should I act? |
60669 | Can any creature rival the Lord Jesus? |
60669 | Can not I get my thirst quenched in my own way?" |
60669 | Can that tree be saved? |
60669 | Can these be patched on to the costly fabric of his divine righteousness? |
60669 | Dear reader, will you have Christ now? |
60669 | Did it not seem strange that, both hearing the same words, one should come out into clear light, and the other should remain in the gloom? |
60669 | Did you ever notice how a fir- tree will get a hold among rocks which seem to afford it no soil? |
60669 | Did you ever tell your father that you tried to believe him?" |
60669 | Did you suggest that it would be a horrible thing if you were to trust in Jesus and yet perish? |
60669 | Did you take my prescription?" |
60669 | Do not his words do good to them that walk uprightly? |
60669 | Do you believe in Jesus? |
60669 | Do you blame him, or would you have had him stop in Newark with his block and his cleaver? |
60669 | Do you enquire,"Is there anything for us to do, to remove the guilt of sin?" |
60669 | Do you fear that you would not be saved if you followed it? |
60669 | Do you not fear that the lighthouse, and all that is in it, will be carried away? |
60669 | Do you think it very easy? |
60669 | Do you think the way of salvation, as laid down in the text we have quoted, to be dubious? |
60669 | Great mysteries are in the Book of God of necessity; for how can the infinite God so speak that all his thoughts can be grasped by finite man? |
60669 | He fumbled over the Book, till his master called out,"Hans, why do you not read?" |
60669 | He that is most loaded seems the most likely to pass in and begin the heavenward journey; but what ails the other men? |
60669 | He would say to- morrow morning,"Where are the flint and steel? |
60669 | How can light come through an invisible vapour? |
60669 | How can that be, when God has pledged his own word for its certainty? |
60669 | How can that fail which God prescribes, and concerning which he gives a promise? |
60669 | I cried,"are you not a believer in the Lord Jesus?" |
60669 | If I wish to believe anything, what shall I do? |
60669 | If a man will not do the thing that is necessary to a certain end, how can he expect to gain that end? |
60669 | If even to add to his words is to draw a curse upon ourselves, what must it be to pretend to add to himself? |
60669 | If, then, I wish to believe, but for some reason or other find that I can not attain to faith, what shall I do? |
60669 | In the name of God, I ask you, Which shall it be-- Christ and salvation, or the favourite sin and damnation? |
60669 | Is it a human love, which is eating like a canker into the heart? |
60669 | Is it any gross wrong- doing? |
60669 | Is it love of the world, or fear of men, or longing for evil gains? |
60669 | Is it not idolatry to allow any earthly thing to compare for one instant with the Lord God? |
60669 | Is not that common sense? |
60669 | Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened? |
60669 | It comes to this, my friend, as it did with John Bunyan; a voice now speaks to you, and says-- WILT THOU KEEP THY SIN AND GO TO HELL? |
60669 | It is written,"Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree;"but who knows what that curse means? |
60669 | It may be that the reader is unsaved: what is the reason? |
60669 | No language can ever tell his agony in prospect of his passion; how little then can we conceive the passion itself? |
60669 | Now, if it be eternal, how can it die out? |
60669 | O foolish tremblers, who has bewitched you? |
60669 | O my hearer, wilt thou have Jesus Christ to be thy Substitute? |
60669 | O reader, is there not common- sense in this matter? |
60669 | OR LEAVE THY SIN AND GO TO HEAVEN? |
60669 | One of the boys quickly asked of the teacher,"Is he to keep it?" |
60669 | Reader, will your very fear of the wrath to come prevent your escaping from it? |
60669 | Shall I stand like a cow staring at a new gate; or shall I, like an intelligent being, use the proper means? |
60669 | Should I not feel mortified if my reader should know what faith is, and then get confused by my explanation? |
60669 | Should we not astonish the old gentleman? |
60669 | Standing there with no food, no fire, and the chopper gone, something seemed to say to me,''Will Richardson, can you trust God now?'' |
60669 | Such newly- enlightened souls often exclaim,"Why, sir, it is so plain; how is it I have not seen it before this? |
60669 | Suppose you stand in the Slough of Despond for ever; what will be the good of that? |
60669 | The door is there; but unless you enter by it, what is the use of it to you? |
60669 | The sun take my portrait? |
60669 | There is light to be had; light marvellous and heavenly; why lie in the gloom and die in anguish? |
60669 | Thus would I urge the reader to seek faith; but if he be unwilling, what more can I do? |
60669 | What best is there about any of us? |
60669 | What can I ask the Lord Jesus to do for one who will not trust him? |
60669 | What can be the use of inventing reasons why I should not hold my own house, or possess any other piece of property which is enjoyed by me? |
60669 | What could we bring if he did need it? |
60669 | What does he need of us? |
60669 | What does his physician say when he enquires--"Did you follow my rule?" |
60669 | What has HE done that you should talk of him in that way? |
60669 | What have we to do with recondite questions while our souls are in peril? |
60669 | What is the comfort of a plan of a house if you do not enter the house itself? |
60669 | What is the good of a plan of clothing if you have not a rag to cover you? |
60669 | What is there of ours that could be added to his blood and righteousness? |
60669 | What, then, is your darling sin? |
60669 | Where do you live? |
60669 | Who but an idiot would do that? |
60669 | Why should not the reader do so at once? |
60669 | Why tarry in the darkness of the pit, wherein your feet sink in the miry clay? |
60669 | Why will you perish through perversely preferring other ways to God''s own appointed plan of salvation? |
60669 | Why, then, do you not attend to it? |
60669 | Will not you also try their saving virtue? |
60669 | Will we not at once come to him, and make him our sole trust? |
60669 | Will you have it?" |
60669 | Will you have it?" |
60669 | Will you make him a liar now, or will you believe his word?" |
60669 | Would he not want all his faith? |
60669 | Would he sell the priceless blessings of his redemption? |
60669 | Would you tell_ me_ that you would try to believe_ me_? |
60669 | Would you then complain,"It is a hard thing that I should die because I do not believe in eating"? |
60669 | You, too, must believe or die; why refuse to obey the command? |
60669 | [ Illustration] But one moans,"What if I come to Christ, and he refuses me?" |
60669 | [ Illustration] Do you see the tree in my picture? |
26990 | ''And how is this kind of incarnation effected, by which Christ Himself becomes our new self? |
26990 | ''Seeing that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of men ought ye to be in all_ holy_ living and godliness?'' |
26990 | ''Seeing that these things are, then, all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy living and godliness?'' |
26990 | ''What manner of persons ought ye to be?'' |
26990 | ''Wherein now shall it be known that I have found grace in Thy sight, I and Thy people?'' |
26990 | ''Who is like unto Thee, glorious in_ holiness_,_ fearful_ in praises?'' |
26990 | A vessel not cleansed can not be used: is not this the reason that there are some workers God can not bless? |
26990 | And for the Great Priest over the House of God, our Living Lord Jesus, with Whom and in Whom we appear before Thee? |
26990 | And for the new and living way, through the rent veil of that flesh which had separated us from Thee, in which my flesh now too has been crucified? |
26990 | And for the precious Blood, that brings us nigh? |
26990 | And how can one who is longing to know Christ fully as his sanctification, come to live out what God means and has provided in this--''in Christ''? |
26990 | And how can the crucifixion which leads to Holiness and to God be accomplished in us? |
26990 | And how can this be obtained? |
26990 | And how does this Presence reveal itself? |
26990 | And how is this cleansing to be done? |
26990 | And how is this to be attained? |
26990 | And how is this to be done? |
26990 | And how shall we know Him? |
26990 | And how will the Spirit reveal this Christ in whom we are? |
26990 | And is not just this the lesson that many earnest seekers after holiness need? |
26990 | And is not the song that sings here of God as glorious in holiness, also the song of Moses who feared and hid his face? |
26990 | And is not this in very deed the posture that becomes us as creatures and sinners? |
26990 | And so the shout of Salvation rings ever deeper and truer and louder through our life,''Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? |
26990 | And so( as one of our Reformed Catechisms, the Heidelberg, has it, in answer to the question, Why art thou called a Christian?) |
26990 | And was the veil of Christ''s holy flesh rent that the veil of our sinful flesh might be spared? |
26990 | And what is to be the special mark of the new period that is now about to be inaugurated, and which is introduced by the word holy? |
26990 | And what now are the lessons we have to learn here for the path of Holiness? |
26990 | And what was the first thing He did with this purpose? |
26990 | And when the song of Moses and of the Lamb is sung by the sea of glass, it will still be,''Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? |
26990 | And where shall we take our place? |
26990 | And wherein did it consist? |
26990 | And wherein has He proved this, and revealed the glory of His Holiness? |
26990 | And which shall we now choose? |
26990 | And who receives it? |
26990 | And why was it holy ground? |
26990 | Are not self- denial and the forsaking of all we have, the crucifixion with Christ and the dying daily, the path to holiness? |
26990 | Are not suffering and sorrow among God''s chosen means of sanctification? |
26990 | Are not the promises to the broken in heart, the poor in spirit, and the mourner? |
26990 | As often as you worship the Thrice Holy One, hearken if no voice be heard: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? |
26990 | But I trust in Thee-- art Thou not Christ my sanctification? |
26990 | But how about the sin that cleaves to the very sacrifice and religious service itself? |
26990 | But is not this at variance with the teaching of Scripture and the experience of the saints? |
26990 | But is such a question needed? |
26990 | But what avails that we have seen in Jesus that a man can be holy? |
26990 | Child of God, have you ever realized it, our Father is calling us to Himself, to be holy as He is holy? |
26990 | Christ sacrificed Himself-- wherein did that sacrifice consist, and what was its aim? |
26990 | Could God have devised anything more wonderful or beautiful for such sinful, impotent creatures? |
26990 | Didst Thou not of old meet Thy servants, and show Thyself unto them until they fell upon their faces and feared? |
26990 | Do all God''s children understand this? |
26990 | Have we not here a most precious lesson, leading us a step farther on in the way of holiness? |
26990 | Have you not seen this in the 15th of John, that abiding and bearing fruit are inseparable? |
26990 | Have you understood the right of property God has in what He has redeemed? |
26990 | He never, as so many do, asks Paul''s question,''Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?'' |
26990 | Here is God''s provision for our holiness, God''s response to our question, How to be holy? |
26990 | How can we''walk after the Spirit''and follow His leading, if we know not Him and His voice and His way? |
26990 | I am now living for Jesus, and I have only to ask, Lord, what wilt Thou have done now? |
26990 | Is it not enough, has it no attraction, does it not move and draw you mightily, the hope of being with me, partakers of my Holiness? |
26990 | Is not our great need to know this Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, of His Holiness and of ours? |
26990 | Is not this then what I most need-- to live entirely under the influence of the Spirit? |
26990 | Is not what separates, what distinguishes Jesus from all others, His self- sacrificing love? |
26990 | Let me ask every reader to say to a Holy God, whether he has indeed given himself to Him to be made holy? |
26990 | Might it not help us if we were to write down the answer, and say how holy we think we ought to be? |
26990 | Must we not confess that happiness has been to us more than holiness, salvation than sanctification? |
26990 | Oh, what can it be that, with such a Thrice Holy God, His Holiness does not more cover His Church and children? |
26990 | Or shall we not at once and for ever give up our will as sinful to His,--to that Will which He has already written on our heart? |
26990 | Shall we attempt to accept Christ as a Saviour without accepting His will? |
26990 | Shall we be content to go on from day to day with the painful consciousness that our will is not in harmony with God''s will? |
26990 | Shall we not seek to be such as the Father commands,''Holy, as He is holy''? |
26990 | Shall we profess to be the Father''s children, and yet spend our life in debating how much of His will we shall perform? |
26990 | There is nothing so attractive as joy: have believers understood it that this is the joy of the Lord-- to be holy? |
26990 | There need be no exhausting effort or hopeless sighing,''Who shall ascend into heaven, that is, to bring Christ down from above?'' |
26990 | To die thus, to live thus in Christ, to be holy-- how can we attain it? |
26990 | Was not the faith of Abraham the fruit of God''s drawing near and speaking to him, the impression God made on him? |
26990 | What avails that the Holy One is said to come so nigh? |
26990 | What does it mean that we adore the Thrice Holy One? |
26990 | What is goodness? |
26990 | What manner of men ought ye to be in all the holy living? |
26990 | What more could you desire? |
26990 | Whether he has accepted, and entered into, and is living in, the good and perfect will of God? |
26990 | Who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?'' |
26990 | Who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness?'' |
26990 | Who is like unto Thee,_ glorious in holiness_, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? |
26990 | Will you be one? |
26990 | Will you give it Him? |
26990 | Will you not fall down in the dust, that He may find in you the humble heart He loves to dwell in? |
26990 | Will you not now believe that even in you, however low and broken you feel, He doth delight to make His dwelling? |
26990 | With such a Sanctifier, how comes it that so many seekers after holiness fail so sadly, and know so little of the joy of a holy life? |
26990 | Would you be holy, child of God? |
26990 | Would you have the abiding anointing? |
26990 | You have taken God to be your God; have you really taken His will to be your will? |
26990 | [ 13]_ The right of access._ The thought comes up, and the question is asked: Is this not simply an ideal? |
26990 | [ 8] And where is the place of death? |
26990 | _ He gave Himself!_ Have you caught the force of that word? |
26990 | _ The place of access._ Whither are we invited to draw nigh? |
26990 | among the gods? |
26990 | and is not all this more matter of sorrow and pain than of joy and gladness? |
26990 | are you in earnest to be holy? |
26990 | can it be a reality, an experience in daily life to those who know how sinful their nature is? |
26990 | do you see what holiness is, and how it is to be found? |
26990 | glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? |
26990 | glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?'' |
26990 | how shall I know to be holy, unless I may see Thee, the Holy One? |
26990 | how shall I praise Thee for the liberty to enter into the Holiest of all, and dwell there? |
26990 | is this the holiness which you are seeking? |
26990 | or shall I be equal? |
26990 | said Moses:''is it not in_ that Thou goest with us_? |
26990 | who hast called us to be holy, we have heard Thy voice asking, What manner of persons we ought to be in all holy living and godliness? |
26990 | wholly possessed of God? |
26990 | would you be holy? |
51655 | What end would such a repetition serve? 51655 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 51655 And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.... And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? 51655 And how came it that Origen[ 147] knew of no Gospelcurrent in the churches"in which Jesus was described as a carpenter? |
51655 | And how many cases for such healing would naturally be presented by one small hamlet? |
51655 | And if prudence perforce abandons that course, why was the vaguer prophecy about Jerusalem sought to be salved at all? |
51655 | And if repeated, why should not S. Mark or S. John have told us so?" |
51655 | And if that goes, what is left? |
51655 | And was the evangel of John only the old evangel, preached by Pharisees and others from the time of the Maccabees onwards? |
51655 | Are we to suppose that the rule had been left to Confucius to invent? |
51655 | Are we to take it that regeneration of the morally dead, deaf, blind, and leprous is to be effected wholesale by a little preaching? |
51655 | Are we, then, to believe that the"Cyrus"prediction was made at the same time? |
51655 | But even if we allow the probable existence of many floating leaves, where is the likelihood that their sayings all came from the same Teacher? |
51655 | But how shall rational criticism be induced to take the whole mass of quasi- vaticination as the utterance of a wandering thaumaturg of the year 30? |
51655 | But if we give up the story of the Denial, how shall we retain those which exalt and glorify the Judaizing apostle? |
51655 | But is he otherwise? |
51655 | But is it a historic proposition that the short time of solitude had worked a complete transformation? |
51655 | But on that view what historical basis have we left? |
51655 | But why then was nothing said of the wholly unbelieving Nazareth? |
51655 | By what right does M. Loisy extract his certitude from the prior text? |
51655 | Can Mr. Wright, holding by the central tradition of Jesus and the twelve, believe that John had heard none of the teachings which he does not repeat? |
51655 | Can a historical student do so? |
51655 | Can not M. Loisy see that he has only been miracle- mongering with a difference? |
51655 | Can they conceive that a Samaritan could so act? |
51655 | Carlyle and Buskin abound in them; who escapes them? |
51655 | Could he conceivably have put it aside from a preposterous humility? |
51655 | Did the Christian community then consist wholly or mainly of these? |
51655 | Does he then see a supreme moral inspiration in the Montanists and other Christian sectaries who set their faces against the sexual instinct? |
51655 | Does the narrative move with the freedom and variety of life, or does it fit into a conventional, symmetrical design? |
51655 | Does the writer''s style and method arouse the suspicion of literary artifice? |
51655 | Dr. T. J. Thorburn, Jesus the Christ: Historical or Mythical?, p. 231. |
51655 | For us the first question is, What did he actually predict in history, and how and why did he predict it? |
51655 | Had he never heard of the"Come unto me"allocution? |
51655 | Had no nameless man or woman in Greece ever urged the beauty of non- retaliation before Plato? |
51655 | Had the rabbis, then, no conscience? |
51655 | Had"Luke"either before him? |
51655 | Has he forgotten the text in Malachi( ii, 14- 16), vetoing a heartless divorce? |
51655 | How can such propositions cohere? |
51655 | How could the coward apostle figure primarily and continuously as a pillar of the Church described? |
51655 | How? |
51655 | If any current"scrap of paper"concerning"Jesus"or"the Lord"could thus secure canonicity, what trust is to be put in the canon? |
51655 | If the later Christians could invent the trial and the Resurrection, what was to prevent their inventing the crucifixion? |
51655 | If yes, why can not they conceive that a Samaritan, or another Jew than one, could put forth such a doctrine? |
51655 | If you profess to seek a strictly impersonal principle of selection, why not apply a strictly impersonal principle of inference from the result? |
51655 | If, again, all the healings were spiritual, what are we left with beyond the truism that sinners who did not believe were unbelieving? |
51655 | If, on the other hand, he admits wholesale suppression in John''s case, what becomes of the argument above cited? |
51655 | In the case put, is it likely to have been? |
51655 | Is he not simply evading his problem? |
51655 | Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? |
51655 | Is it pretended that Yahweh is not sublime? |
51655 | Is the Book of Job pretended to be historical? |
51655 | Is the moral originality of the Gospel teaching to be established by merely ignoring all previous teaching to the same effect? |
51655 | Is the parable then assimilated by those who stress it? |
51655 | Is there not ground for suspicion that it was interpolated post eventum, in the Latin report? |
51655 | Is this the kind of personality that in an eastern village would be known merely as that of"the carpenter,"or the carpenter''s son? |
51655 | Is this"convention"or"reality"? |
51655 | Must one say of this or that story that its reality is the reality of life, or of an art which cunningly counterfeits life? |
51655 | Nay, if we are to elide the miraculous, how are we to let the allocution stand? |
51655 | Or have we good reason to mistrust it as much, or even more than we had before? |
51655 | Or was it a conscious or unconscious feeling that they were unsuited to his readers? |
51655 | Precisely, but was the evangel of Jesus then simply the evangel of John, which it was to supersede? |
51655 | The Gospel ethic of reciprocity, we know, was put in a saner form by Hillel; did he get it from the Jesuists? |
51655 | The"Kingdom"? |
51655 | Thomas James Thorburn, D.D., LL.D., in his later work Jesus the Christ: Historical or Mythical? |
51655 | To their accredited teachers? |
51655 | To which verdict does the independent reader begin to incline? |
51655 | Upon what other theory can the documents be explained? |
51655 | Was Hillel but a mouth- piece of the law? |
51655 | Was a quite normal or commonplace personality capable of such a transfiguration in a natural sense? |
51655 | Was their ethic a mere tradition, even when they gave out or originated the maxims of the Sermon on the Mount? |
51655 | What can it mean? |
51655 | What had the Teacher preached as an evangel of"the Kingdom"? |
51655 | What kind of credit is it that is to be saved by making him the faithful chronicler of a real prophecy? |
51655 | What kind of narrators, then, were the men who passed it over? |
51655 | What now becomes of the two presentments of James and John? |
51655 | What pretensions can such a theory make to be in conformity with historical principles? |
51655 | What room is there for Gentilism here? |
51655 | What were the alleged mighty works done elsewhere save acts of healing the sick? |
51655 | What word? |
51655 | What, then, are the disciples supposed to have preached? |
51655 | What, then, had they to convey? |
51655 | Which came first? |
51655 | Which then are the"great"sayings that could not be thus accounted for? |
51655 | Who can say how many other such Jewish books may not have furnished items for the compilers of the Gospels? |
51655 | Who will say that the stern Tyndale, had he ever been in power, would not have made martyrs in his turn? |
51655 | Why does he not? |
51655 | Why not? |
51655 | Why should not Mark do what Matthew and John did in the terms of the case? |
51655 | Why was not the miracle prediction included in the Savonarola argument? |
51655 | Why was such an item introduced at all? |
51655 | Why were there disciples at all? |
51655 | Why, then, was he put to death? |
51655 | Would he have been quick to surmise that the paradox might be truth? |
51655 | Would it have deliberately specified two Maries, each the mother of a James and a Joses, without a word of differentiation? |
51655 | [ 114] On the traditionalist view this at least must be tolerably late; what then does the"selection"argument gain from the recovered papyri? |
51655 | [ 124] Would it? |
51655 | [ 128] If that interpolation be admitted, what exactly is left to fight for? |
51655 | [ 145] If the towns which would not receive the disciples were to be testified against, what should be the fate of the hostile birthplace? |
51655 | [ 146] But how came it that"the carpenter"of Mark is only"the carpenter''s son"in Matthew? |
51655 | [ 224] See the brochure of Prof. R. H. Grützmacher, Ist das liberale Jesusbild modern? |
51655 | [ 24] What else is signified by Acts iii, 18; xvii, 3? |
51655 | [ 29] Whatever it was, what is the meaning of the repeated Gospel declaration that the nature of the Kingdom must not be explained to the people? |
51655 | [ 95] What then were the manner and the matter of the prophecy in Luke? |
27500 | + Christianity not dependent on a virgin birth.+--But why hesitate about the question? |
27500 | + Church only exists for the sake of the kingdom.+--But how far did Jesus foresee and intend this? |
27500 | + Divine satisfaction in Atonement.+--But in what sense is the death of Jesus a satisfaction to the Father? |
27500 | + Modern industrialism and the church.+--Judged by this standard where are the churches to- day? |
27500 | + Origin of the idea of the church.+--Where, then, did the idea of the church come from? |
27500 | + Salvation and penalty.+--But does this kind of salvation do away with the penal consequences of past sin? |
27500 | + The Jesus of traditional theology.+--But what has traditional Christian theology to say about Jesus? |
27500 | + The nature of sin.+--What, then, is sin? |
27500 | + The real judge.+--And who, pray, is the Judge? |
27500 | + The reason why there was no supernatural interference.+--But is this all that can be said about the matter? |
27500 | + The unity of truth.+--But, someone will remonstrate, What then are we to believe? |
27500 | + What does the universe mean?+--But why is there a universe at all? |
27500 | + What the church exists for to- day.+--But what does the church exist for, using the word in its primitive sense? |
27500 | + What the word"God"means.+--But what name are we to give to this higher- than- self whose presence is so unescapable? |
27500 | + Will religious faith regain its power?+--Will this happen again? |
27500 | Again, why should God feel Himself so much aggrieved by Adam''s peccadillo? |
27500 | And what is love? |
27500 | And why should it be regarded as in any real sense a substitute for what is due from us or any equivalent for what we should otherwise have to bear? |
27500 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
27500 | Besides, why should a trivial act of transgression have sent it all wrong? |
27500 | But did Jesus really found a church of this kind? |
27500 | But have the churches spiritual energy enough to recover their lost position? |
27500 | But how do ordinary church- going Christians talk about God? |
27500 | But if popular theology concerning the last things is untrue, or at least misleading and inadequate, what is the truth? |
27500 | But is it? |
27500 | But seeing that they were thinking of it in this way, how did the church arise and why? |
27500 | But then, someone will say, what has the death of Jesus effected in the unseen so as to make it possible for God to forgive us? |
27500 | But under this view what is the exact significance of the Judgment Day and the physical Resurrection? |
27500 | But what became of their doctrine in the face of an urgent human need and the call for self- sacrifice to supply that need? |
27500 | But what else can we do? |
27500 | But what is pain? |
27500 | But what is the punishment of sin, and who administers it? |
27500 | But what is this divine holiness? |
27500 | But what on earth have his words to do with the birth of Jesus? |
27500 | But why ought they to be ignored? |
27500 | But why should it be so? |
27500 | By eternal the ordinary Christian usually means everlasting; why should punishment be everlasting? |
27500 | Can it recover it? |
27500 | Could anything be more grotesque than the suggestion that the mother of Jesus should need to plead with her son to be merciful with frail humanity? |
27500 | Do not these facts of human nature and experience tell us something about God? |
27500 | Do we want a different set of terms or not? |
27500 | Does anyone think that this brings Jesus down to our level? |
27500 | Does physical science, then, imply the doctrine of the Trinity? |
27500 | Does the self- limitation of Jesus mean that the Deity was lessened in any way during the incarnation? |
27500 | Does this throw any light upon the mysterious appearances and disappearances of the body of Jesus? |
27500 | For what is the nature of God? |
27500 | For, after all, what is our life but God''s? |
27500 | Granted that it does apply only to Jesus, what then? |
27500 | Have I anything new to say about it? |
27500 | How can there be anything in the universe outside of God? |
27500 | How could it fail to be of absorbing interest? |
27500 | How does Salvation stand related to punishment and judgment? |
27500 | How much can we really know about Him? |
27500 | How shall we sing the Lord''s song in a strange land? |
27500 | How would any of us have felt in the circumstances of Jesus? |
27500 | If Salvation is first and foremost deliverance from this punishment, how is it that it does not take effect immediately? |
27500 | If not, what is its relation to them? |
27500 | If not, where was it? |
27500 | If not, why not? |
27500 | If you go and live over a sewer, you will be ill. Why? |
27500 | Indeed without the limitation, the struggle, and the pain, how would this Christ spirit ever have known itself? |
27500 | Indeed, how can they be ignored? |
27500 | Now what is our relation to this process? |
27500 | Now what is this subconscious mind whose importance is so great and of whose nature we know so little? |
27500 | Precisely, but what are you except your thought? |
27500 | Semitic Ideas of Atonement++ Atonement in history.+--What, then, has this death to do with the Atonement? |
27500 | Should we be likely to forget that if we had ever formed part of such a procession of prisoners of war? |
27500 | Some years ago a book was published which bore on the title- page the question,"What would Jesus do?" |
27500 | Suppose the Christian church enjoined or permitted rape and murder, would the devout Catholic believe and obey? |
27500 | Thus to the question, Why a finite universe? |
27500 | Was it really so? |
27500 | Was the full consciousness of the eternal Word present in the babe of Bethlehem, for instance? |
27500 | Was the whole dreadful drama merely a programme to be gone through in all its appointed stages, ending with the cry of the victim,"It is finished"? |
27500 | What are we to say about this? |
27500 | What are we to think about ourselves? |
27500 | What are we to understand by Heaven and Hell, and what is the bearing of either upon Salvation and Judgment? |
27500 | What can it all mean, if indeed it has a meaning? |
27500 | What did it matter? |
27500 | What had Jesus to do with it originally? |
27500 | What has Death to do with the matter? |
27500 | What has the genealogy of Joseph got to do with the birth of Jesus if Jesus were not his own son? |
27500 | What is it that is slowly winning the world from its selfishness to- day and lifting it gradually into the higher, purer atmosphere of universal love? |
27500 | What is the Church? |
27500 | What is the Judgment and when does it take effect? |
27500 | What is the Kingdom of God, and how do the various Christian societies which call themselves churches stand in regard to it to- day? |
27500 | What is the justification for all the vast number of Christian organisations which exist throughout the world? |
27500 | What is the moral ideal but love? |
27500 | What is the physical but the common denominator between one finite mind and another? |
27500 | What kind of a universe would it be then? |
27500 | What other kind of substance can there be? |
27500 | What ought it to exist for to- day? |
27500 | What sensible man really believes in these notions as popularly assumed and presented, and what have they to do with Christianity? |
27500 | What value does He possess for the religious consciousness to- day? |
27500 | What was the need for the long cosmic struggle, the ignorance and pain, the apparently prodigal waste of life and beauty? |
27500 | When a heathen mother passed her child through the fire to Moloch, did the sacrifice cost her nothing? |
27500 | Where did the idea spring from? |
27500 | Where does God come in? |
27500 | Where has it gone? |
27500 | Where is the remedy to be found? |
27500 | Where, then, someone will say, is the dividing line between our being and God''s? |
27500 | Which will win in this encounter? |
27500 | Who but yourself? |
27500 | Who is offended and I burn not?" |
27500 | Who or what are we? |
27500 | Who or what was Jesus? |
27500 | Why does a perfect form appear only to be shattered and superseded by another? |
27500 | Why does the man of business spend so many hours in his office in the effort to make money? |
27500 | Why has the memory of it actually become a religious dogma? |
27500 | Why has the unlimited become limited? |
27500 | Why in the world should God require such a sacrifice before feeling Himself free to forgive His erring children? |
27500 | Why is this? |
27500 | Why should the consequences continue through countless generations? |
27500 | Why should we be afraid of trusting the human soul to recognise and respond to its own truth? |
27500 | Why should we not apply it all the way round? |
27500 | Why should we not speak in a similar way about any other human consciousness? |
27500 | Why should we require to be saved from Him? |
27500 | Why was a crime of this sort ever permitted? |
27500 | Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? |
27500 | Will you tell me where to look for the focus and centre of that ideal? |
27500 | With what God have we to do except the God who is eternally man? |
27500 | Yes, but suppose it did, would he obey? |
27500 | shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? |
27500 | shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? |
10955 | ( 2) Are they quotations from our Gospels? |
10955 | ( the fig- tree, as the Jewish people? |
10955 | (? |

10955 | ), but there still remains the coincidence in regard to[ Greek: exoteron](?) |
10955 | ***** At the outset the question will occur to us, On what principle is the enquiry to be conducted? |
10955 | ...[ 23] Quid est facilius dicere, Dimittuntur tibi peccata, an dicere, Surge et ambula? |

10955 | Again, if the Matthaean sections represent a substantive work, how are we to account for the strange intrusion of the triple synopsis into the double? |
10955 | And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind? |
10955 | And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? |

10955 | Are we able to reconstruct that Gospel from the materials available to us with any tolerable or sufficient approach to accuracy? |
10955 | Are we, then, to think that our English critic has shown cause for reopening the discussion? |
10955 | At this point Dr. Keim comes upon the scene, and he asks the question, Was Lucian''s friend really an Epicurean? |
10955 | But also, on the other hand:--''Where''s The gain? |
10955 | But by what standard does he judge? |
10955 | But now we come to the question, was Tatian''s work really a Harmony of our four Gospels? |
10955 | But the moment we begin to meet both parties half way, there comes in that crucial question: Why do you accept just so much and no more? |
10955 | But to what date does this evidence of Irenaeus refer? |
10955 | But what is this to the point? |
10955 | But, if the matter common to Matthew and Luke consists of discourse, may it not be these very[ Greek: logia] that Papias speaks of? |
10955 | Does his statement accord any better with the phenomena of the first Gospel? |
10955 | Does it mean''be born_ over again_,''like Justin''s[ Greek: anagennaethaete]? |
10955 | Does not this almost at once exclude the idea that they can be independent works? |
10955 | Does this agree with the facts of the Gospel as it appears to us now? |

10955 | For if ye love, he says, them which love and lend to them which lend to you, what reward shall ye have? |
10955 | For if ye shall love them which love you, what reward have ye? |
10955 | Have St. Paul and Justin both a variant text of the LXX, or is Justin quoting mediately through St. Paul? |
10955 | Himself; also the cry of despair,''My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?'' |
10955 | How do they come to be so like and yet so different as they are? |
10955 | How do they come to be so strangely broken up? |
10955 | If Justin''s version were correct, whence did the Clementines get the[ Greek: hudati zonti k.t.l.]? |
10955 | If Ultramontanism is true, how is it that so many wise and good men openly avow Secularism? |
10955 | In the Greek or Vossian version of the Epistle it is expanded,''How then was He manifested to the ages? |
10955 | Is it likely that he would have cut down a document previously existing? |
10955 | Is it to these that Papias alludes? |
10955 | Is the Epistle which purports to have been written by Polycarp to the Philippians to be accepted as genuine? |
10955 | Is this fragment of Apollinaris genuine? |
10955 | It would have been a far more profitable enquiry if the author had asked himself, What is Revelation? |
10955 | Luke v. 33- 35:[ 33] At illi dixerunt ad eum, Quare discipuli Johannis jejunant frequenter et obsecrationes faciunt,... tui autem edunt et bibunt? |
10955 | Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? |
10955 | Now the question arises, What is the origin of this phenomenon of double resemblance? |
10955 | Now what are we to say to these phenomena? |
10955 | Now what is the bearing of the Epistle of Clement upon the question of the currency and authority of the Synoptic Gospels? |
10955 | Of Justin''s readings in this verse[ Greek: hupagete] for[ Greek: poreuesthe] is found also in[ Hebrew:?] |
10955 | Or, has he ever estimated its extent? |
10955 | Or, is it not possible that the converse may be true, and that Marcion''s Gospel was the original and ours an interpolated version? |
10955 | Still the author of''Supernatural Religion''is, no doubt, justified in raising the question, Did miracles really happen? |
10955 | Supposing, for the moment, that the author has proved the points that he sets himself to prove, to what will this amount? |
10955 | The main questions that arise in regard to Basilides are two:( 1) Are the quotations supposed to be made by him really his? |
10955 | The next passage that appears to be quotation occurs in the account of the death of James the Just;''Why do ye ask me concerning Jesus the Son of Man? |
10955 | The question is easy to ask and difficult to answer-- If our St. Mark does not represent the original form of the document, what does represent it? |
10955 | The reference in the note to Bleek,_ Einl._ p. 637( and Ewald? |
10955 | They do so in most things: why should they not in the highest matters of all? |

10955 | Was the change first introduced into the text of the New Testament? |
10955 | We can all feel the self- evidential force of the Gospel story; but who shall present it adequately in words? |
10955 | What evidence could be more sufficient? |
10955 | What is the ground for this reasoning? |
10955 | What sort of rule or standard are we to assume? |
10955 | Whence, he says, came the light? |
10955 | Why do you deny just so much and no more? |
10955 | Yet what do we see after a lapse of a hundred and forty years? |
10955 | [ 170:1] So Tregelles expressly(_ Introduction_, p. 240), after Wiseman; Scrivener(_ Introd._, p. 308) adds(? |

30882 | What is it all,we say,"but a trouble of ants in the gleam of a million million of suns?" |
30882 | After all, is it a greater miracle that consciousness should exist_ de_tached from matter than that it should exist_ at_tached to matter? |
30882 | And approbation? |
30882 | And does not this lend a strange fascination to the adventure of life? |
30882 | And how does he effect his purposes? |
30882 | And now comes the question, What does God do? |
30882 | And what are the grounds of that reconcilement? |

30882 | And what is this"racial adventure"? |
30882 | And what of the great selflessnesses? |
30882 | And what shall we say, for example, of the case of a young biologist who dies of blood- poisoning on the eve of a great and beneficent discovery? |
30882 | And, even if this point could be granted, where is the organizing power? |
30882 | Besides, when we come to think of it, why this prejudice against miracles? |

30882 | But why this irony? |
30882 | But will they understand if you tell them that we triumph over the grave because God dies with us and yet never dies? |

30882 | Can any thinking man say that the world is quite the same to him since the invention of wireless telegraphy? |
30882 | Can it be that, hurried or tired out, The hand of the juggler shook? |
30882 | Can it minister any substantial comfort or fortification to the normal man in the moment of peril or agony? |
30882 | Can there be any doubt that the Bishop was either telling-- well, not the truth-- or shamelessly playing with words? |
30882 | Can we beat into a ploughshare the sword of St. Bartholomew, and a thousand other deeds of horror? |
30882 | Can we view his action with approval, even with gratitude? |
30882 | Could the world have been appreciably worse off without it? |
30882 | Did Buddha,''neath the bo- tree''s shade, Learn how the stars were poised and swayed? |
30882 | Did Jesus still pain''s raging storm, And dower the world with chloroform? |
30882 | Does Mr. Wells know his modern Englishmen or Anglo- Americans? |
30882 | Does the healthy human spirit suffer from having no one to bow down to, no one to relieve it of the burden of choice, responsibility, self- control? |
30882 | Does this seem a concession to obscurantism? |
30882 | For is not Mr. Wells the great Adventurer of latter- day literature? |
30882 | From what, then, are you saved? |
30882 | Has he himself always kept to it? |
30882 | Has revelation e''er revealed Aught from its age and hour concealed? |
30882 | Has there been any voluntary"slaying of self"on so huge a scale since the world began? |
30882 | Have we not in such an experience an irrefutable proof of the inefficacy of Mr. Britling''s God? |
30882 | He is only concerned to disentangle it a little, to reduce the chaos of the world to some sort of seemliness and order"? |
30882 | How can one worship an insoluble problem? |
30882 | I am proud to think that Mr. Wells and I are soldiers in the same army; ought we not at all costs to maintain a united front? |
30882 | I am simply asking:"Will they work?" |
30882 | I asked,"with the stumps of the trees you fell? |
30882 | I can not but think that the poet got nearer the heart of the matter who wrote:-- Was Moses upon Sinai taught How Sinai''s mighty ribs were wrought? |
30882 | If it did exist, and made the world an appreciably better place to live in, why should we grudge it a few miracles? |
30882 | If we accept this hypothesis, can we acquit the Artificer of wanton cruelty? |
30882 | In that case the Scottish Catechism would be justified, which asks"What is the chief end of man?" |
30882 | Is God only a luxury for the intellectually wealthy? |
30882 | Is he a helpful or a detrimental"synthesis"? |
30882 | Is he outside that causal plexus, self- begotten, self- existent? |
30882 | Is it necessary to protest once more that this assurance of progress towards the good is not to be confounded with optimism? |
30882 | Is it not Mr. Wells''s endeavour in this very book to claim our devotion for the all- embracing and ultimate ideal-- the human race? |
30882 | Is it not as though a ventriloquist were to prostrate himself before his own puppet? |
30882 | Is it possible thus to dissociate him from the Veiled Being, and proclaim him an independent, an agnostic God? |
30882 | Is it possible to deodorize a word which comes to us redolent of"good, thick stupefying incense- smoke,"mingled with the reek of the auto- da- fé? |
30882 | Is it wise or kind to seek to impose on the future an endless struggle with its sinister ambiguities? |
30882 | Is not this a case in which the modern God might with advantage have swerved from his principles and( for once) played the part of Providence? |
30882 | Is there any more substantial solace in it than in the"Oh, may I join the Choir Invisible"aspiration of mid- nineteenth- century positivism? |
30882 | Is there any real escape from the fact that for each of us the one thing that actually exists is our individual consciousness? |
30882 | Is this an optimistic statement? |
30882 | It may be, for example, that the elimination of Pain would only leave a vacuum for Tedium to rush in; but how are we to decide this_ à priori_? |
30882 | May it not be that the time has come to give the name of God a rest? |
30882 | Nay, may it not be said that my criticism of_ God the Invisible King_ is a breach of discipline, like duelling in the face of the enemy? |
30882 | Or Mahomet a jehad decree''Gainst microbe- harboring gnat and flea? |
30882 | Or are we to regard God as the Viceroy of the Veiled Being, to whom, in that case, our ultimate allegiance is due? |
30882 | Or can it be restored to its pristine potency? |
30882 | Or miracle, since time began, Conferred a single boon on Man? |
30882 | Or only the last of a thousand Dr. Cooks? |
30882 | Or, for that matter, what has he been doing since July, 1870? |
30882 | Or, to put the same question in more general terms, is it wise of Mr. Wells to make such play with the word"God"? |
30882 | Ought one not rather to hold one''s peace than to afford the common enemy the encouragement of witnessing a squabble in the ranks? |
30882 | Perhaps I am on the verge of extinction-- if so, what does it all matter? |
30882 | Perhaps to ask"When?" |
30882 | Short of this, however, is no other simplification possible? |
30882 | The God who can work upon the human mind has the key to the situation in his hands-- why, then, does he make such scant use of it? |
30882 | The champagne of the spiritual life? |
30882 | The doctrines of"the modern religion"may give us a new motive for living; but how can they at the same time diminish our distaste for dying? |
30882 | To what, now, does all this amount? |
30882 | V WHEN IS A GOD NOT A GOD? |
30882 | Was Mr. Wells to be the Peary of the great quest? |
30882 | Was ever there such a sight in the world? |
30882 | Were we on the brink of another and much more momentous discovery? |
30882 | What about kneeling through the C Minor Symphony? |
30882 | What does he aim at? |
30882 | What if it should be given him to sign his name to the first truly- projected chart of the scheme of things?" |
30882 | What of the ideal loyalties? |
30882 | What was the Invisible King about when that catastrophe happened? |
30882 | What, then, does he tell us of his God? |
30882 | What, then, has the Invisible King made of his opportunities? |
30882 | What, then, is"faith"in this context? |
30882 | When all is said and done, is there not more hope, more solace, in an enigma than in a_ façon de parler_? |
30882 | Where do you guess he learned the trick To hold us gaping here, Till our minds in the spell of his maze almost Have forgotten the time of year? |
30882 | Where is the God( as Mr. Zangwill has pertinently enquired) who will give us a cure for cancer? |
30882 | Where the passion of a battle if its issue were foreknown? |
30882 | Where was the Invisible King in July, 1914? |
30882 | Where would be the interest of a race if its result were a foregone conclusion? |
30882 | Which of the other Gods who have announced themselves from time to time has found such a megaphone to reverberate his voice? |
30882 | While you lurk obstinately behind that veil, how can I even know that your political views are sound? |
30882 | Why are order, justice, courage, humanity good? |
30882 | Why is England more than the mere rocks of which it is composed? |
30882 | Why is Mr. Wells so sternly opposed to the bare idea of Providence? |
30882 | Why is a regiment more than a mob? |
30882 | Why is a temple more than a heap of stones? |
30882 | Why is egoism evil? |
30882 | Why seek to revive and rehabilitate a word of such a dismal connotation? |
30882 | Why should we trouble about vastness-- mere extension in space? |
30882 | Will Mr. Wells succeed any better? |
30882 | Will an enigma die with me in a reeling aeroplane? |
30882 | Would not this have been a good occasion for a similar exercise of urbanity? |
30882 | Yet why he disposed to twit A fellow who does such wonderful things With the merest lack of wit? |
30882 | or at any rate tempt the weaker brethren to do so? |
30882 | who has to be taught by us before he can do anything worth mentioning? |
19087 | Are n''t you going to speak to me? |
19087 | Are you the One who was to come,they asked,"or must we look for somebody else?" |
19087 | Ask him,said John,"''Are you or are you not the Messiah?''" |
19087 | But do you know what happened? 19087 Do n''t you know that I can crucify you or let you go?" |
19087 | How is it,they asked,"that your master eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?" |
19087 | If any one of you owned a sheep, and it fell into a pit on the Sabbath, would n''t you lift it out? 19087 My brothers?" |
19087 | My mother? |
19087 | Shall I crucify your king? |
19087 | The Messiah? 19087 Then these people will be surprised, and say,''Lord when did we ever do anything for you?'' |
19087 | What can it be? |
19087 | What have I to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? 19087 What have I to do with you, Jesus? |
19087 | What is it? |
19087 | What is it? |
19087 | What is there we can do? |
19087 | What shall we do? |
19087 | What things? |
19087 | What will you give me,Judas said,"if I turn Jesus over to you?" |
19087 | When will he come? |
19087 | When will he come? |
19087 | Where did Jesus get all that food? |
19087 | Where did all this food come from? |
19087 | Where did the angel say? |
19087 | Where do they say the Messiah will be born? |
19087 | Who does he think he is? |
19087 | Who is this? |
19087 | Who will roll the stone away? |
19087 | Why are we waiting here? 19087 Why are you making all this fuss?" |
19087 | Why did you do this? |
19087 | Why should n''t they eat and feast and be merry? |
19087 | Will he come in five years? 19087 Yes, Rabbi?" |
19087 | A new king of the Jews? |
19087 | And do n''t you think that a man is worth more than a sheep? |
19087 | And while they stood there, not daring to believe that Jesus was alive, he said,"Have you anything here to eat?" |
19087 | Are n''t you afraid to talk that way? |
19087 | Are n''t you going to defend yourself?" |
19087 | Are you not more important than birds? |
19087 | As they looked, they heard voices saying:"You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into the sky? |
19087 | As they walked along the street, with people pressing in on them from every side, Jesus suddenly stopped and said,"Who touched my clothes?" |
19087 | Barabbas the murderer or Jesus who is called the Christ?" |
19087 | But always it turned out to be a mistake, and the Jews would be disappointed, and shake their heads, and say,"Will he ever come?" |
19087 | But how far will that go among five thousand people?" |
19087 | But the other thief spoke out of his pain:"Do n''t you fear God, seeing that we are all going to die? |
19087 | But what use would it be to speak to someone who was dead? |
19087 | But what was the best way to prove that he was the Messiah? |
19087 | But which way would they go from there? |
19087 | Caiaphas tore his own clothes in anger, and shouted:"Why do we need any more witnesses? |
19087 | Could he mean that_ he_ was the Messiah? |
19087 | Could n''t you stay with me for one short hour? |
19087 | Did they never think of anything except their stomachs? |
19087 | Do n''t you know that I must be looking after my Father''s business?" |
19087 | Do n''t you see that the Messiah had to suffer this way in order to be King?" |
19087 | Each one cried out:"Master, is it I?" |
19087 | For whom are you looking?" |
19087 | Had Jesus not once told them,"The dead hear my voice"? |
19087 | Had he been wrong in thinking that Jesus was the Messiah? |
19087 | Had n''t you better send them away to find something to eat in the towns near by? |
19087 | Have you come to destroy me? |
19087 | He came and kneeled before Jesus, and said,"Good Master, what should I do in order to have eternal life?" |
19087 | He said to them:"Who do people say that I am?" |
19087 | He said:"Who ever heard of anyone opening the eyes of the blind since the world began? |
19087 | He said:"Why did you come to look for me? |
19087 | He spoke again to the crowd,"Well, what shall I do to Jesus who is called the Christ?" |
19087 | He spoke to her, and said:"Why are you crying? |
19087 | He wanted an argument which would give him a chance to show how much he knew, so he came and asked Jesus,"What should I do to have eternal life?" |
19087 | Him? |
19087 | His name? |
19087 | His voice broke in upon their sleep:"Are you still sleeping? |
19087 | How can you escape the punishment which God is bringing upon you?" |
19087 | How could anyone help hating those rough Roman soldiers, who often came along and made Jews carry their packs for them? |
19087 | How could he be sure to find the right one? |
19087 | How could he have made me see, if he had n''t come from God?" |
19087 | How could he live without his money? |
19087 | How did he know that God would look after him if he did not take care of himself? |
19087 | How did the words go? |
19087 | How is it that you still have n''t any faith in me?" |
19087 | How should I begin?_ There was nothing to eat in the wilderness, and Jesus grew hungry. |
19087 | How would they ever find one boy among all those thousands of people? |
19087 | If God clothes the flowers of the field, which are here today and gone tomorrow, will he not clothe you? |
19087 | It sounded to the lawyer as though Jesus were saying,"If you knew all along, why did you need to ask me in the first place?" |
19087 | Jesus answered,"Well, friend-- what have you come to do?" |
19087 | Jesus answered,"What does it say in the Law?" |
19087 | Jesus answered:"Do you know what you are saying when you call me''Good Master''? |
19087 | Jesus cried out,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
19087 | Jesus said to him,"What is your name?" |
19087 | Jesus said to the twelve, who had been with him from the beginning:"Are you going to leave me too?" |
19087 | Jesus said,"Whose picture is that?" |
19087 | Jesus spoke to the disciples:"Why were you so frightened? |
19087 | Judas spoke up and said,"Why was not this ointment sold, and the money given to the poor?" |
19087 | Now tell me-- which of those two men will love the moneylender most?" |
19087 | On the way home from the synagogue they asked each other,"What kind of preaching is this, which makes a madman well again?" |
19087 | Once they came and asked,"Should we pay taxes to the Romans?" |
19087 | One day Peter came to him and asked:"Lord, if somebody keeps on doing wrong to me, how many times should I forgive him? |
19087 | Or could they hear him? |
19087 | Or is he already on his way?" |
19087 | Peter answered:"Lord, where would we go? |
19087 | Pilate said to Jesus,"Well, are you the King of the Jews?" |
19087 | Pilate spoke to Jesus again, and said:"Are n''t you going to say anything? |
19087 | Seven times, perhaps?" |
19087 | Should they go straight south through Samaria? |
19087 | That very night God said to him,''You fool, you are going to die tonight; and what good are your crops and your money going to be to you then?'' |
19087 | That would prove that you were n''t the Messiah, would n''t it?_"Jesus shook his head, to get rid of the thought. |
19087 | The Messiah was really here? |
19087 | The Scripture had come true? |
19087 | The high priest spoke again:"In the name of the living God I ask you: Are you the Christ-- the Messiah-- the Son of God?" |
19087 | The lawyer thought that he would get the better of Jesus, so he replied,"Well, just who is the neighbor that I am supposed to love?" |
19087 | The maid looked at Peter and said,"You were with Jesus, were n''t you?" |
19087 | The next day some of the rulers came to Jesus and said:"What right have you to do these things? |
19087 | The stranger said,"What is it that you are talking about?" |
19087 | Then Jesus turned to the crowd of soldiers, and said:"Have you come to arrest me with swords and clubs, as though I were a robber? |
19087 | Then the Wise Men asked:[ Illustration]"Where is the newborn King of the Jews? |
19087 | They said to each other,"Did n''t you have a strange feeling, as he talked to us along the road and explained the Scriptures?" |
19087 | They said to him:"Why, do n''t you see the crowd? |
19087 | They said to one another:"What kind of man is this? |
19087 | They said,"If there is n''t any hope even for rich people, is there any hope for_ anybody_?" |
19087 | They said:"Do you mean that you want us to go and buy food for all these people? |
19087 | They said:"Who is this who is talking as if he were God? |
19087 | They shouted at him,"Master, does n''t it matter to you if we are all drowned?" |
19087 | They will say:''Lord, when did we ever see you hungry, or thirsty, or naked, or sick, or in prison? |
19087 | What could be better than to save somebody from an evil life? |
19087 | What could have happened to Jesus? |
19087 | What do you mean by asking,''Who touched my clothes?''" |
19087 | What do you think about it?" |
19087 | What have I to do with the Son of the most high God? |
19087 | What is it that has happened?" |
19087 | What is it that is wrong with me?" |
19087 | What right has he to forgive anybody''s sins?" |
19087 | What was good about having nothing? |
19087 | What was it that the devil had said? |
19087 | What was the use of following Jesus if they were all to be drowned? |
19087 | What would become of him in Jerusalem? |
19087 | What would the Roman governor say if he heard that there was someone in Jerusalem pretending to be King of the Jews? |
19087 | When Jesus heard of this, he went and found the man who had been blind, and asked him,"Do you believe that I am the Son of God?" |
19087 | When John the Baptist used to preach to you and baptize people, who gave him the right to do that?" |
19087 | Where was Jesus? |
19087 | Where would we get enough money for that?" |
19087 | Which of them was a real neighbor to the man who was robbed?" |
19087 | Which one shall I let go? |
19087 | Which would you rather do-- sit down to a dinner and have your food brought to you, or bring the food for somebody else? |
19087 | Who can forgive sins, except God himself?" |
19087 | Who except the Messiah would dare to talk that way to Pharisees and Sadducees? |
19087 | Who told you that you could act like this?" |
19087 | Why am I staying here?'' |
19087 | Why do you think you ought to get any special favors from God?" |
19087 | Why should there be any trouble about it? |
19087 | Would he not leave the other ninety- nine, and go after the lost sheep until he found it? |
19087 | Would n''t she light a candle and sweep the floor and look everywhere until she found it? |
19087 | Would they actually let a man suffer one day more than was necessary? |
19087 | Would they ever get there? |
19087 | [ Illustration]"But who do_ you_ say that I am?" |
19087 | _ What kind of man is this?_ they thought. |
19087 | _ What kind of power does he have?_[ Illustration] They were so worried about what Jesus might do next that they asked him to leave the country. |
19087 | next year? |
50349 | Adam, where art thou? |
50349 | Ah? 50349 And he cometh unto the disciples and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?" |
50349 | Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? 50349 Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?" |
50349 | For what,say they,"hath man of all his labor, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath labored under the sun? |
50349 | For who is a God, save the Lord? 50349 Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me? |
50349 | He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things? |
50349 | How shall I give thee up? |
50349 | How shall I put thee among the children? |
50349 | I love to own, Lord Jesus, Thy claims o''er me and mine; Bought with thy blood most precious, Whose can I be but_ thine_? |
50349 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
50349 | Lavish,did I say? |
50349 | Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? 50349 No rock?" |
50349 | Saw ye Him whom my soul loveth? 50349 Where is the promise of his coming?" |
50349 | Wherefore doth a living man complain? |
50349 | Who touched me? |
50349 | Who will seek and save these wanderers? |
50349 | Whom have I in heaven but thee? 50349 Yes,"we hear you saying,"this is comforting for Christians, but am I a Christian? |
50349 | _ Only_ a prayer- meeting,do you say? |
50349 | ''Whereby shall I know that I shall inherit the land?'' |
50349 | And is he absorbed by this homage? |
50349 | And what are these good things for which the Christian is willing to wait? |
50349 | And what is implied in this willing heart and mind but full consecration? |
50349 | And when we hear the voice of our Beloved, can we be indifferent to his love? |
50349 | And why does he come? |
50349 | Are the days dark? |
50349 | Are there not many signs to prove to you that you are in Christ? |
50349 | Are they not goodly stones? |
50349 | Are we going into eternity? |
50349 | Are we in trouble? |
50349 | Are we in want of anything? |
50349 | Are we seeking happiness? |
50349 | Are we sick? |
50349 | Are we sinners? |
50349 | Are we soldiers? |
50349 | Are you in danger from the darts of the adversary? |
50349 | Are you in trouble? |
50349 | Are you sick? |
50349 | Are you weary? |
50349 | As we meditate upon it we seem to hear the Saviour saying,"Lovest thou me?" |
50349 | But do we not often forget the condition of this promise? |
50349 | Can there be anything more simple and beautiful and perfect than this? |
50349 | Can we be contented in sickness, in sorrow and in poverty? |
50349 | Can you remain ignorant of so great a change wrought within by the Spirit? |
50349 | Christ,"the first- fruits of them that slept,"is risen; then how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? |
50349 | Could no hand restore what in one dark hour had been lost? |
50349 | Did they watch? |
50349 | Do friends forsake and foes oppress you? |
50349 | Do we need strength? |
50349 | Do we not make the promise void by our unworthy walking? |
50349 | Do you not believe and know that a change has passed over all your feelings and affections? |
50349 | Do you not find some pleasure in drawing near to God in prayer? |
50349 | Do you not love all who bear the Saviour''s image? |
50349 | Do you not love the things you once hated and hate the things you once loved? |
50349 | Do you understand these words of the Master? |
50349 | Does not this journey remind us of some of the days of our pilgrimage? |
50349 | Does the desert sun beat hot upon your head and the desert sand scorch your pilgrim feet? |
50349 | Have I then nothing to give? |
50349 | Have you ever noticed the old grave stones in some English burial- garden? |
50349 | Have you not sometimes been surprised by the blessed and abundant answer to prayer which you have received? |
50349 | How can you account for this? |
50349 | How can you bear the test? |
50349 | How could he call all these afflictions light? |
50349 | How could the just and holy God justify the sinner? |
50349 | How did he walk? |
50349 | How shall we solve this seeming contradiction? |
50349 | How? |
50349 | If Paul could call his calamities"light,"surely we may; for what are our trials when compared with his? |
50349 | If at one time it may be enjoyed, why not at all times? |
50349 | If secret prayer was necessary for the Master, is it not more needful for you? |
50349 | If the Lord has forgiven and forgotten them, why not rejoice in this wonderful token of his love toward you? |
50349 | If this assurance is attainable by one, why not by all? |
50349 | Is he not a perfect Redeemer? |
50349 | Is it any wonder that his elder brother chided him and that Goliath disdained him? |
50349 | Is it no uncommon thing for you to suffer hunger, cold and weariness? |
50349 | Is it not a tried stone? |
50349 | Is it not better to have our portion appointed by God? |
50349 | Is not his"a more excellent way?" |
50349 | Is not sin odious to you? |
50349 | Is not the thought of continuing in sin painful to you? |
50349 | Is poverty your portion? |
50349 | Is there no friend whose sympathy is deep, ever abiding and ever accessible? |
50349 | Is this your sad lament? |
50349 | Looking up at the twelve silver statues in Yorkminster cathedral, Oliver Cromwell asked,"Who are those expensive fellows up there?" |
50349 | Looking up, what does he see? |
50349 | Nevertheless, who would not be"a carved stone"in the temple of our God? |
50349 | No longer do we say,"Saw ye Him whom my soul loveth?" |
50349 | O Grave, where is thy victory?" |
50349 | Pleasures? |
50349 | Seeing these, is it any wonder if his heart melted with tenderness? |
50349 | Shall we reject the promise because we can not understand it in the light of God''s providence? |
50349 | Shall we therefore arraign the justice of God? |
50349 | Shall we, then, never think of our past sins? |
50349 | So he did; and why? |
50349 | Surrounded by those"which came out of great tribulation,"can he for a moment forget those who are going through great tribulation? |
50349 | Tell me, I ask, who shall wear these bright crowns? |
50349 | Tell me, is it not perfect, sure and tried? |
50349 | The strongest, bravest and oldest veteran in the army? |
50349 | The work is great;"who is sufficient for these things?" |
50349 | Then"why art thou cast down, O my soul?" |
50349 | Think you that our God desires from us constant mourning over"sins that are past?" |
50349 | Though some may cavil at this mystery and say sneeringly,"How are the dead raised up? |
50349 | To sit like Mary at his feet, to lie like John upon his bosom-- was ever joy like this? |
50349 | Upon the ear of the watchman who went about the streets soon fell our mournful cry,"Saw ye Him whom my soul loveth?" |
50349 | What is justification? |
50349 | What meaneth this shout of triumph that cometh up from the battle- field? |
50349 | What more do you desire? |
50349 | What shall I give my Lord? |
50349 | What will you do? |
50349 | What, then, are our duties to the poor and ignorant, the weary and feeble ones? |
50349 | When brought to our Gethsemane, is not our experience something like our Master''s? |
50349 | When shall we learn the secret of a happy life? |
50349 | When this love is the dear, deep love of Jesus, who can estimate its life- giving power? |
50349 | Where can we find sufficient inspiration for a life of devotion to others? |
50349 | Who was he? |
50349 | Who will assure me of my interest in Christ?" |
50349 | Who will say that Peter and the two sons of Zebedee were not friends of the Lord Jesus? |
50349 | Why is this? |
50349 | Why may they not be enjoyed by all? |
50349 | Why should not the promises become more precious as you prove them and find them all"yea and amen in Christ Jesus?" |
50349 | Why should you not grow happier in your love to Christ as you learn to know him better? |
50349 | Why? |
50349 | Will you sit under the clouds, or struggle to get out into clear sunshine? |
50349 | Will you then suffer them to hide the Saviour from your view? |
50349 | Would we be guided by his eye? |
50349 | Would you willingly grieve your Saviour? |
50349 | You are ready to say,"Where are the blessed effects of sorrow?" |
50349 | and who is a rock, save our God? |
50349 | and will they not make a beautiful temple? |
50349 | and with what body do they come?" |
50349 | he said, calmly, with a smile--"no rock? |
50349 | or what profit is there in the atonement of Christ? |
50349 | was ever Jesus nearer? |
50349 | what shall I bring to thy footstool? |
50349 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
50349 | who shall dwell in thy holy hill?" |
38380 | And he, trembling and astonished, said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? 38380 ( 21) Who knoweth the spirit( or breath) of man that goeth upward, and the spirit( or breath) of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? |
38380 | ( d.) John''s two angels asked Mary Magdalene,"Woman, why weepest thou?" |
38380 | 1,"Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?" |
38380 | 10,"Shall thy loving- kindness be declared in the grave"( kibr)? |
38380 | 25,"To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? |
38380 | 44- 48--has already been shown to be false) at the end of the gospels be excepted? |
38380 | 49 and xxi v. 50 there was an interval of forty days, as asserted by the same writer in the Acts? |
38380 | 51, 52), seated within the tomb, would not their excited imaginations have transformed him into a messenger from heaven? |
38380 | And against this general contemporaneous unbelief what is there to place? |
38380 | And does not the Christian doctrine represent its deity as the author of a proceeding so utterly unjust? |
38380 | And was there any good ground for this expectation of a future life? |
38380 | And what became of the shepherds? |
38380 | And what is to be said of a system founded either on self- delusion or imposition? |
38380 | Are the angels, then, on the side of the persecutors? |
38380 | Are unbelieving Jews and Gentiles to be eternally reprobate for not allowing that a man was other than the son of his reputed parents? |
38380 | Art thou come to destroy us? |
38380 | As they were gazing upwards, two men in white apparel appeared, who said,"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? |
38380 | Assuming, then, that the books of the New Testament were written by those whose names they bear, what is known of the narrators? |
38380 | But he said,"Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" |
38380 | Can Mary, then, have forgotten the angel''s visit? |
38380 | Can aught more utterly irreconcilable be imagined? |
38380 | Can it, then, have been a dream of Peter, when with Jesus, James, and John in some lonely mountain in Galilee? |
38380 | Could such an extraordinary breach of the peace have occurred in any country under a Roman governor, without summary justice on the offender? |
38380 | Did he receive his directions from angels in dreams or otherwise? |
38380 | Did she not tell Joseph of it? |
38380 | Does he mention the wondrous incident on the way to Damascus? |
38380 | Does the prophet refer to two children,"Immanuel"and"Maher- shalal- hash- baz"? |
38380 | Excepting the Jesus of the New Testament, is there any other Jesus? |
38380 | Has such a temper of mind never been known among men? |
38380 | He disputed against the Grecians( Hellenised Jews? |
38380 | How could the"servant upheld by Jehovah"fulfil the prophecy by shrinking from the Pharisees in the way Jesus is reported by Matthew to have done? |
38380 | How far then, does John, the other eye- witness, bear out Matthew, Mark, and Luke? |
38380 | How has the seed of the woman bruised the head of the serpent, if Jesus was the seed and the devil the serpent? |
38380 | How many were there? |
38380 | How, then, can the angel- visit to Mary be true, or the three angel- visits to the slumbering Joseph? |
38380 | How, when they saw the star in the East, did they know that it indicated the birth of a King of the Jews? |
38380 | If any such resemblance was necessary, should it not have been complete? |
38380 | If not, where was there room for marvel at Simeon''s vaticination? |
38380 | If then David in spirit called Christ Lord, how is he his son? |
38380 | If these are the works of the devil, why has Jesus not destroyed them? |
38380 | If, then, Jesus gave the particulars to Matthew, why did the best- loved disciple John not know of them? |
38380 | In the mouth of two, or in the mouth of three witnesses, nay, even in the mouth of one witness, is any one of these incidents established? |
38380 | In, the Galilean mount, according to Matthew, or at Jerusalem, according to Luke and John? |
38380 | Is the existence of such a person, such a power, continuously and successfully working against God, consonant with Old Testament belief? |
38380 | Is the testimony of the apostles and first Christians sufficient to establish the credibility of the facts which are recorded in the New Testament? |
38380 | Is there anything here beyond natural fact more than in the case of the man or woman? |
38380 | Is this disposition angelic or earthly? |
38380 | Is this grand hope of the Christian, then, to prove as misleading as the Jewish anticipation of the everlasting throne of David? |
38380 | Is this last verse an answer to any objection taken to what is stated in verse 19, that man and beast have all one spirit( breath)? |
38380 | Jesus asked him,"What is thy name?" |
38380 | Jesus in ascribing this quotation to John, or Luke in making Jesus so ascribe it? |
38380 | Judas Iscariot grumbled at the waste:"Why,"he said,"was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?" |
38380 | Now, who sent John to baptize with water? |
38380 | Of this mighty and malignant being, is there any trace in the Old Testament? |
38380 | On the contrary, was not man, in his view, doomed to return to the dust whence he came? |
38380 | Or if the information came from Mary, why are Matthew, Mark, and, above all, John silent? |
38380 | Or was the prophetess"the virgin,"and these two names bestowed on her child? |
38380 | Paul replied,"Who art thou, Lord?" |
38380 | Some expressed fear of his power thus,"Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? |
38380 | The birth of an illustrious personage made manifest by a star,--Is that consistent with the attributes of the Jewish Jehovah? |
38380 | The deity begetting a mortal child by a mortal woman, was this a Jewish or a Gentile idea? |
38380 | The gospels are silent Cousin Elizabeth was of the daughters of Aaron, but was Mary of the daughters of Aaron or of the daughters of David? |
38380 | The reply was,"How is it ye sought me? |
38380 | Was not the pretence of the soul being immortal an assumption of an attribute of the eternal Jehovah? |
38380 | Were the discourses of the risen Jesus not more important, were they less impressive than those uttered in his lifetime? |
38380 | What came of them afterwards? |
38380 | What can be said of Matthew''s application of it to an alleged massacre at Bethlehem in the country of Judah, six centuries after the captivity? |
38380 | What child is the prophet referring to?--"Immanuel"of the seventh chapter, or"Maher- shalal- hash- baz"of the eighth chapter? |
38380 | What faith can righteously rest on such testimony? |
38380 | What is their defect? |
38380 | What is there for a conscience- satisfying belief to rest upon? |
38380 | What is this but the tale of Mary and Joseph in another form? |
38380 | What reason is there for imagining that Esaias meant any other than his own report? |
38380 | What special_ Jewish_ appearance did it present? |
38380 | What then can be more fair to Christianity than to examine its claims by a rule of evidence held righteous by itself? |
38380 | What, rather, is_ not_ left? |
38380 | What, then, are the evidences of this so glorious an event? |
38380 | What, then, becomes of the testimony of the devils to the claim of Jesus? |
38380 | What, then, can be said of their silence? |
38380 | What, then, have we here? |
38380 | What, then, is the evidence? |
38380 | What, then, is to be said? |
38380 | When Jesus began his public ministry, where were they? |
38380 | Whence then sprung his mother Mary? |
38380 | Where did they come from? |
38380 | Where is the throne of David? |
38380 | Where those they informed? |
38380 | Where? |
38380 | Where? |
38380 | Wherein did they differ from other weak women, that their testimony received at second hand should be held trustworthy? |
38380 | Wherein do they fail? |
38380 | Which is the original? |
38380 | Who has made the mistake? |
38380 | Who or what, then, is the Satan of the Old Testament? |
38380 | Who was Luke that they should have left so important a duty to him? |
38380 | Who were the go- betweens, the transmitters of the tale to Luke? |
38380 | Who, then, came between Zacharias and Luke? |
38380 | Who, then, sent John to baptize with water? |
38380 | Whose report has Luke credited? |
38380 | Why since his advent do they exist as before? |
38380 | Why the silence of Matthew, Mark, and John, especially John, Mary''s custodian? |
38380 | Why then does the devil still triumph on earth? |
38380 | Why was he not informed of the congratulatory visit to Cousin Elizabeth, of her speech and John the Baptist''s joyous bound? |
38380 | Will the passage then bear any such interpretation? |
38380 | Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
38380 | Wondering at these gracious words, they inquired,"Is not this Joseph''s son?" |
38380 | Would a God of truth be on their side? |
38380 | Would any earthly tribunal be accounted righteous which allowed a self- sacrificing mother to substitute herself for a son, a son for a father? |
38380 | and what end was their heaven- directed visit to serve? |
38380 | for what do such expressions as to the vocation of Judas imply? |
38380 | is that an Old Testament prediction, an Old Testament belief? |
38380 | or has Jesus actually risen from the dead? |
38380 | to torment us before the time? |
39052 | Art thou he that was to come, or look we for another? |
39052 | But it is not sufficient that we should say it; it is you who are to answer: once more, are you the Christ? 39052 Could you not,"said he,"watch with me one hour?" |
39052 | How( asks he) can these things be? |
39052 | Is not this,said they to one another,"the carpenter, the son of Joseph the carpenter? |
39052 | Think you so? |
39052 | What shall we say( exclaims he) of the errors of transcribers, and of the impious temerity with which they have corrupted the text? 39052 Who,"said he to Jesus,"are your disciples, their number and names?" |
39052 | You are then the Son of God? |
39052 | --"Of what consequence is it to me,"returned Pilate,"that you pretend to be the king of the Jews? |
39052 | Accordingly the high priest contented himself with asking what he had to answer? |
39052 | And after all, what is your supper in comparison with that wonder? |
39052 | And even at his ascension the only question his disciples asked, was,_ Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel_? |
39052 | Are not his brethren and sisters with us? |
39052 | Are you unable to comprehend any thing which God reveals to you there? |
39052 | Art thou come to destroy us? |
39052 | Become incapable of suffering, and re- established in his divine omnipotence, was he still afraid of the Jews? |
39052 | Besides, if Jesus did not wish that the devil should discover him, why delay imposing silence on him until after he had spoken? |
39052 | But has man the power of being spiritual or poor in spirit, reasonable or foolish, believing or unbelieving? |
39052 | But how could the disciples of a man who was punished as an impostor, make themselves be listened to? |
39052 | But how revoke an immutable decree? |
39052 | But if there be no proportion between the workman and his work; if the latter has no right to say to the former,_ why have you fashioned me thus_? |
39052 | But if this was the intention of providence, why preach to them? |
39052 | But in what time did the parents of Jesus accomplish all that the law ordained? |
39052 | But these apostles and these women, did they see distinctly? |
39052 | But these bishops and priests, judges and parties in an affair wherein they were obviously interested, could they not be themselves deceived? |
39052 | But to whom did he show himself? |
39052 | But what is grace? |
39052 | But why decide if the pleas of both parties are not investigated? |
39052 | But why not make loaves and fishes drop down also? |
39052 | But why suppose such conduct in this sovereign? |
39052 | But why were speeches, thus publicly made in the temple of Jerusalem, in which city Herod resided, unknown to a prince so suspicious? |
39052 | But would it have cost him more to perform a miracle in order to convert them, and thereby prevent their mischievous designs? |
39052 | But would it not have been a short way to have made the people feel neither hunger nor thirst? |
39052 | But, how reconcile faith in these new converts, in the wonders performed by Jesus, with the bad dispositions they were known to possess? |
39052 | But, in a desert, whence came the baskets they made use of in gathering up the remains of the entertainment? |
39052 | By again showing himself, had he not better reason to calculate on converting them than he derived from all his sermons and miracles? |
39052 | By what fatality have writings revealed by God himself still need of commentaries? |
39052 | By what law have Christians, dispensed with circumcision, and permit them selves to eat pork, bacon, pudding, hare,& c? |
39052 | Can the fathers of the church guarantee the probity of all the depositaries of those writings, and the exactness of all the transcribers? |
39052 | Could he dread being put to death a second time? |
39052 | Could not enthusiasts and credulous fanatics imagine, that they had seen many things which never existed, and thus become the dupes of deception? |
39052 | Could not men who are described as illiterate, and destitute of talents, be themselves deceived? |
39052 | Did Jesus wish to save them? |
39052 | Did Joseph and Mary, who came to Jerusalem for the presentation of Jesus, and purification of his mother, return to Bethlehem? |
39052 | Did he wish to destroy them? |
39052 | Did not their prepossessed imaginations make them see what did not exist? |
39052 | Did the purification of the virgin, and the presentation of her son in the temple, take place before or after the death of that wicked prince? |
39052 | Do not beggars find, agreeably to our divine precepts, wherewith to live at the expense of the simpletons who labor? |
39052 | First, we see that it is impossible to determine the signification of the word_ Shiloh_, or to ascertain, whether it be the name of a man or a city? |
39052 | Had not the authority of Constantine a chief share in the adoption of the decrees of that celebrated council? |
39052 | Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world by causing the foolishness of the gospel to be preached?" |
39052 | He proceeded to questions more serious:"Are you the Christ?" |
39052 | Here Jesus, pushed to extremity, grew warm:--"Art thou( says he) a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? |
39052 | Here we are surprised to find them asking of Jesus, What sign showest thou then that we may believe? |
39052 | How can he associate with knaves, monopolizers, and men whom their extortions render odious to the nation? |
39052 | How did the messiah answer this question? |
39052 | How does it act on man? |
39052 | How is it possible for men to withstand God? |
39052 | How, and by what means does he work miracles?" |
39052 | I conjure you by the living God tell us if you are his Son?" |
39052 | If God is incorporeal, how does he act upon bodies? |
39052 | If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things? |
39052 | If he knew the state of mind of these witnesses of his miracles, why perform them with certain loss? |
39052 | If he wished it, Jesus did wrong in opposing it: if he did not wish it, how was the devil able to act contrary to the divine will? |
39052 | If martyrs demonstrate the truth of a religion or sect, where are we to look for the true one? |
39052 | If we demand, where is the proof of this infallibility? |
39052 | In that case why not convince the whole Sanhedrim of his power? |
39052 | In that case why send them his Son? |
39052 | In that case, why did he reject the Pharisees and doctors, whom he called_ whitened sepulchres_? |
39052 | In the_ second_ place, were these witnesses_ disinterested_? |
39052 | In the_ third_ place, are the witnesses of the resurrection unanimous in their evidence? |
39052 | In this case, was it not the imperial power, rather than the spiritual authority, which decided the authenticity of the gospels? |
39052 | Indeed, how could the apostles be assured of the reality of what they saw? |
39052 | Is it absolutely certain that their master was dead before they laid him in the tomb? |
39052 | Is it not astonishing, that what was intended as a_ guide_ to mankind, should be wholly above their comprehension? |
39052 | Is it not cruel, that what is of most importance to them, should be least known? |
39052 | Is it not to deny the Divine Omnipotence to pretend that man can oppose its will? |
39052 | Is it not unjust to damn people of understanding? |
39052 | Is it not very grievous, and even dangerous to live with a person who occasions continual suspicions? |
39052 | Is it not very singular that Jesus should show himself in order not to be known again? |
39052 | Is it so with the Bible? |
39052 | Is not his mother called Mary? |
39052 | Is not the holy stupidity of faith a gift which God grants only to whom he will? |
39052 | Jesus continued his questions, and asked them, if when a sheep fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, they would not draw it out? |
39052 | Jesus replied,"Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath day, or to do evil-- to save life, or to take it away?" |
39052 | Jesus, divining their dispositions, addressed his discourse to them--"Why do you suffer wicked thoughts to enter into your hearts? |
39052 | Jesus, who beheld him lying, asked him if he wanted to be cured? |
39052 | Like a coward become desperate, he resolutely presented himself to the party:"_ whom seek ye?_"said he, with a firm tone:--"Jesus,"answered they. |
39052 | Man, it is asserted, is free; but must not a God who knew every thing, have foreseen that the Jews would abuse their liberty by resisting his will? |
39052 | Much more, are they consistent with themselves in their narratives? |
39052 | My disciples and I, are a proof that without toil, one may avoid difficulties, and not perish by hunger? |
39052 | Now what is there in all this that is any way marvellous? |
39052 | On another occasion we shall also find John affecting not to know his cousin Jesus: he deputed some of his disciples to learn_ who he was_? |
39052 | On which Jesus demanded of Pilate--"Say you this of yourself, or have others told it you?" |
39052 | On which Simon Peter answered,"Lord, to whom shall we go? |
39052 | Others have agitated the question,"Whether Jesus could have been incarnate in a cow?" |
39052 | The Samaritan woman, who did not observe Jesus to have any vessel in his hand, asked whence he could draw the living water of which he spoke? |
39052 | The doctors asked him,"Master, is it lawful to heal on this day?" |
39052 | The great St. Thomas Aquinas has examined, whether Jesus could not have been an_ hermaphrodite_? |
39052 | Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, for I know not a man? |
39052 | Theologists have agitated the question, whether in the conception of Jesus, the Virgin Mary_ emiserit semen_? |
39052 | They are apostles-- But who are these apostles? |
39052 | They only conjectured that they knew him; and asked each other,"Is not this the son of Joseph?" |
39052 | They will ask, how God, being a pure spirit, could_ overshadow a woman_, and excite in her the movements necessary to the production of a child? |
39052 | They will ask, how the divine nature could unite with the nature of a woman? |
39052 | To pretend that the views of providence were changed, is it not to attack the divine immutability? |
39052 | Unable to persuade himself that the man he beheld could have conceived projects so ridiculous, he interrogated him:--"Are you the king of the Jews?" |
39052 | Was it not acknowledging the falsehood of his mission, to refuse the sign by which he had solemnly promised to prove the truth of that mission? |
39052 | Was it reasonable to require the Jews to believe, on the word of his disciples, a fact which he could have demonstrated before their own eyes? |
39052 | Was it then so difficult to arrest thirteen men? |
39052 | Was their decision unanimously accepted? |
39052 | Were all who formed that assembly entirely of the same opinion? |
39052 | Were these apostles_ enlightened_ men? |
39052 | Were, there no disputes among these men inspired by the Holy Spirit? |
39052 | What end does it propose? |
39052 | What extraordinary thing do you perform for that purpose? |
39052 | What is it that is agreeable to God? |
39052 | What shall we say of the licence of those, who promiscuously interpolate or erase at their pleasure?" |
39052 | Whence then has he so much skill? |
39052 | Where are the scribes? |
39052 | Wherefore doth not God give to all men the grace to do that which is agreeable in his eyes? |
39052 | Why did he not burst his bonds? |
39052 | Why did he not by a single word change their obstinate hearts? |
39052 | Why did he not learn by the same means the flight of Jesus, of Joseph, and of his mother? |
39052 | Why did he send missionaries whose dispositions were not sufficiently known to him? |
39052 | Why does he have in his train women of bad lives, such as Susan and Jane, who accompany him continually?" |
39052 | Why has sunday, or the day of the sun among Pagans been substituted for Sabbath or Saturday? |
39052 | Why make him suffer to no purpose an infamous and cruel death? |
39052 | Why not instantly precipitate them into hell? |
39052 | Why not send him at once to creatures disposed to hear him, and render him homage? |
39052 | Why not then strike them dead? |
39052 | Why perform miracles before a whole people whilst a small number were only to profit by it? |
39052 | You will perhaps instance the supper you gave us; but did not our fathers eat manna in the desert for forty years? |
39052 | and could not the first christians, by a_ pious fraud_, afterwards add or retrench things essential to the works ascribed to the apostles? |
39052 | and do its_ revealed_ truths occasion no disputes among divines? |
39052 | and went they thence into Egypt in place of going to Nazareth? |
39052 | and whether he could not have been of the_ feminine gender_? |
39052 | and why do they demand additional lights from on high, before they can be believed or understood? |
39052 | are you not yet satisfied? |
39052 | if there be no analogy between them, how can they bear any relation to each other? |
39052 | or how can these bodies disturb his repose, or excite in him emotions of anger? |
39052 | replied they,--"shall we go and buy two hundred penny- worth of bread, and give them to eat?" |
10866 | ''And takest thou all these things upon thyself,''he exclaimed,''thou who art not unspotted thyself?'' |
10866 | ''Are you not content?'' |
10866 | ''But what am I to do with Jesus, who is called Christ?'' |
10866 | ''But what evil has he done?'' |
10866 | ''From whence hast thou thy power? |
10866 | ''How canst thou presume,''they exclaimed,''to appear before the Council in such a condition? |
10866 | ''Is it possible, Jesus of Nazareth,''he exclaimed,''that it is thou thyself that appearest before me as a criminal? |
10866 | ''Is it possible,''said he,''is it possible that thou art Jesus of Nazareth? |
10866 | ''Master,''he exclaimed,''what has befallen thee?'' |
10866 | ''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'' |
10866 | ''Shall I crucify your King?'' |
10866 | ''Speakest thou not to me?'' |
10866 | ''What accusation do you bring against this man?'' |
10866 | ''What species of king art thou? |
10866 | ''Who art thou?'' |
10866 | ''Who art thou?'' |
10866 | After praying fervently, she turned to John and said,''Shall I remain? |
10866 | Annas and his adherents added mockery to insult, exclaiming at every pause in the accusations,''This is thy doctrine, then, is it? |
10866 | Answer at once: speak out,--art thou dumb? |
10866 | Are you still suffering on her account?'' |
10866 | Art thou a king? |
10866 | Art thou dumb?'' |
10866 | Art thou he whose birth was foretold in such a wonderful manner? |
10866 | Art thou prepared to satisfy for all these sins?'' |
10866 | Art thou the Son of God? |
10866 | Art thou the king of the Jews? |
10866 | Art thou the son of an obscure carpenter, or art thou Elias, who was carried up to heaven in a fiery chariot? |
10866 | Art thou willing to bear its penalty? |
10866 | At the words,''Whom seekest thou?'' |
10866 | At these words they all exclaimed,''What need we any further testimony? |
10866 | Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy: what think you?'' |
10866 | But his accusers, whose anger continued to increase, cried out,''You find no cause in him? |
10866 | But tell us, where must we go?'' |
10866 | But the soldiers pushed them on one side, struck them, obliged them to return to their houses, and exclaimed,''What farther proof is required? |
10866 | Could you not watch one hour with me?'' |
10866 | Did he not deliver twenty- seven poor prisoners at Thirza, with the money derived from the sale of Magdalum? |
10866 | Did she, like these holy women, attain the end? |
10866 | Didst thou escape when so many children were massacred, and how was thy escape managed? |
10866 | Didst thou not cut off my brother''s ear?'' |
10866 | Didst thou not eat the Paschal lamb in an unlawful manner, at an improper time, and in an improper place? |
10866 | Does not the conduct of these persons show plainly that the Galilean incites rebellion?'' |
10866 | Dost thou not desire to introduce new doctrines? |
10866 | Everyone proposed something different, and some questioned Judas, saying:''Shall we be able to take him? |
10866 | For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?'' |
10866 | Has he not armed men with him?'' |
10866 | Have you not been treated far more gently than was your adorable Spouse? |
10866 | He felt surprised at this, and asked her,''What has happened to you?'' |
10866 | He fled as fast as possible, but where did he fly? |
10866 | He glanced at the mangled and bleeding Form before him, and exclaimed inwardly:''Is it possible that he can be God?'' |
10866 | He leaned then on his breast and said:''Lord, who is it?'' |
10866 | He tried to persuade himself that he wished to pass a just sentence; but he deceived himself, for when he asked himself,''What is the truth?'' |
10866 | How is it that thou dost no longer possess it? |
10866 | How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?'' |
10866 | I have been ill quite a week, have I not? |
10866 | In my ignorance, I thought that he was speaking of those brethren who are not in communion with us, but my guide added:"Who are our brethren? |
10866 | Is it no crime to incite the people to revolt in all parts of the kingdom?--to spread his false doctrines, not only here, but in Galilee likewise?'' |
10866 | Is it not possible to refrain from thus tearing to pieces and beginning to execute your criminals even before they are judged?'' |
10866 | Is it true that thou hast restored sight to the blind, raised up Lazarus from the dead, and fed two or three thousand persons with a few loaves? |
10866 | It is true that Scripture tells us he said,''Could you not watch one hour with me?'' |
10866 | It was towards three o''clock when he cried out in a loud voice,''Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani?'' |
10866 | Jesus again asked,''Whom seek ye?'' |
10866 | Jesus made answer,''Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?'' |
10866 | Jesus replied,''What, Judas, dost thou betray the Son of Man with a kiss?'' |
10866 | Jesus walked up to the soldiers and said in a firm and clear voice,''Whom seek ye?'' |
10866 | John asked him how it was that he, who had hitherto always consoled them, would now be so dejected? |
10866 | John said to him:''Master, what has befallen thee? |
10866 | Judas wished to fly, but the Apostles would not allow it, they rushed at the soldiers and cried out,''Master, shall we strike with the sword?'' |
10866 | Judas, dost thou betray the Son of Man with a kiss?'' |
10866 | Kings from the East came to my father to see a newly- born king of the Jews: is it true that thou wast that child? |
10866 | Knowest thou not the words of the law,"He who sells a soul among his brethren, and receives the price of it, let him die the death"? |
10866 | Mary approached him instantly, and said,''Simon, tell me, I entreat you, what is become of Jesus, my Son?'' |
10866 | Must I call the other disciples? |
10866 | On this subject Overberg wrote her the following words:''What have you had to suffer personally of which you can complain? |
10866 | Once, she asked suddenly in a scarcely audible voice,''What day is it?'' |
10866 | Ought I to go away? |
10866 | Ought we to take to flight?'' |
10866 | Our beloved convent, too, what will be done with it in a short time? |
10866 | Peter got up, intending to leave the room, when a brother of Malchus came up to him and said,''Did I not see thee in the garden with him? |
10866 | Peter, when his turn came, endeavoured through humility to prevent Jesus from washing his feet:''Lord,''he exclaimed,''dost thou wash my feet?'' |
10866 | Pilate was offended that Jesus should think it possible for him to believe such a thing, and answered,''Am I a Jew? |
10866 | Pilate was somewhat moved by these solemn words, and said to him in a more serious tone,''Art thou a king, then?'' |
10866 | Several times I heard him exclaim:''O my Father, can I possibly suffer for so ungrateful a race? |
10866 | Shall I have strength to support such a sight?'' |
10866 | She would exclaim( as if repeating the words of others):''Why do you call out so?'' |
10866 | Should not one member call upon another, and suffer in order to cure and unite it once more to the body? |
10866 | Someone asked her,''What is the matter with you?'' |
10866 | Speak, what are the tenets of thy religion?'' |
10866 | Tell me, without farther preamble, to what order of kings thou dost belong? |
10866 | The Apostles were very much troubled, and each one of them exclaimed:''Lord, is it I?'' |
10866 | The Chief Priests took their seats likewise, and Pilate once more demanded:''Which of the two am I to deliver up to you?'' |
10866 | The High Priests looked at one another, and said to Jesus, with a disdainful laugh,''Art thou, then, the Son of God?'' |
10866 | The Roman governor has now sent thee to me to be judged; what answer canst thou give to all these accusations? |
10866 | The mention of Galilee made Pilate pause: he reflected for a moment, and then asked,''Is this man a Galilean, and a subject of Herod''s?'' |
10866 | Then she again turned to the left, with menacing gestures, and exclaimed,''What meanest thou, O father of lies, with thy Magdalum contract? |
10866 | Then the devil murmured in his ears,''Cain, where is thy brother Abel? |
10866 | These words,''he made himself the Son of God,''revived the fears of Pilate; he took Jesus into another room, and asked him;''Whence art thou?'' |
10866 | They awoke, and raised him up, and he, in his desolation of spirit, said to them:''What? |
10866 | Thinkest thou that I can not ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels? |
10866 | Thou art silent? |
10866 | Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me as deserving of death: what hast thou done?'' |
10866 | What art thou come to do here? |
10866 | What canst thou answer to this? |
10866 | What disciples hast thou now? |
10866 | What hast thou done with the money given unto thee by the widows, and other simpletons whom thou didst seduce by thy false doctrines? |
10866 | What is happening to him? |
10866 | What is truth?'' |
10866 | What words can, alas, express the deep grief of the Blessed Virgin? |
10866 | When Jesus entered in triumph the demons dispersed, crying out at the same time,''What is there between thee and us? |
10866 | When asked,''Who has spent money? |
10866 | Where are they all gone? |
10866 | Where are thy disciples, thy numerous followers? |
10866 | Where didst thou study? |
10866 | Where is Jesus?'' |
10866 | Where is thy kingdom? |
10866 | Who art thou? |
10866 | Who can describe the sharp, sharp sword of grief which then transfixed her tender soul? |
10866 | Who can therefore be surprised at finding some omissions and confusion in her descriptions? |
10866 | Who gave thee the right of preaching? |
10866 | Who is being spoken to in that way?'' |
10866 | Who knows whether his death would not be a triumph to my gods?'' |
10866 | Who will assist, who will console us, who will cure our diseases? |
10866 | Whom seekest thou?'' |
10866 | Why askest thou me? |
10866 | Why dost thou not answer? |
10866 | Why hast thou been for so many years unknown? |
10866 | Why have you illtreated this prisoner so shamefully? |
10866 | Wilt thou crucify us likewise?'' |
10866 | continued Annas, in a tone of cutting contempt;''by whom art thou sent? |
10866 | is that my Son? |
10866 | said Pilate;''knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and power to release thee?'' |
10866 | she replied;''that would be most unreasonable; but how can any person avoid suffering when even the end of this little finger is in pain? |
11509 | ''And are you not going to love him?'' 11509 ''Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?'' |
11509 | ''Lord, whence are those blood- drops all the way That mark out the mountain''s track?'' 11509 ''Tell me, my friend,''I asked,''have you always felt as bright and cheerful as you seem to feel now?'' |
11509 | A little girl came to me one day,said a minister of the gospel, and said,"''Please sir, may I speak to you a minute?'' |
11509 | And do you understand what you read? |
11509 | And is_ that_ why you love me? |
11509 | And what are you thinking about? |
11509 | And what is that kingdom? |
11509 | And what is the first, and best? |
11509 | And what is the third? |
11509 | And when the chief priests and Pharisees said unto them-- Why have ye not brought him? 11509 Because,"said he,"I knew the lightning was only an arrow in my Heavenly Father''s hand, and why should I be afraid?" |
11509 | But do you think he cares? |
11509 | But how can I ax him, if I do n''t know where he lives? 11509 But, did you study hard, as well as pray over your lesson?" |
11509 | But,asked the astonished pastor,"are you not known in this village as the ringleader in all evil doings?" |
11509 | Can we Gethsemane forget? 11509 Can you read, my boy?" |
11509 | Carrie, my dear,she said,"why do you look so sad to- day?" |
11509 | Carrie, what did Jesus say about little children coming to him when he was on earth? |
11509 | Certainly,said the mill;"what am I here for but to grind? |
11509 | Charlie,said the teacher,"you have never been to London; how do you know there is such a city?" |
11509 | Did n''t I tell you,he asked, in grateful gladness,"that the Lord will help?" |
11509 | Did you, darling? |
11509 | Do you, dear? 11509 Does it?" |
11509 | Does n''t He Love to Save? |
11509 | God loveth the cheerful giver, Though the gifts be poor and small; But what must he think of his children Who never give at all? |
11509 | God will surely ask, Ere I enter heaven, Have I done the task Which to me was given? |
11509 | Good friends,said his master,"why you''ve got ten; how many do you want?" |
11509 | Grandma, are n''t we going to church this morning? |
11509 | If you had a friend who loved you, and you were well, would you be afraid to go and stay with him, Willie? |
11509 | Is that all? |
11509 | Is the pain very bad to- day, Willie? |
11509 | Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? 11509 Is thy heart a well left empty? |
11509 | Maggie Blake, how can you study so hard, and be so provokingly good? |
11509 | Mary,said her sister,"suppose we ask our Father in heaven to give us something to eat? |
11509 | My little man,said the gentleman,"what are you doing to serve God?" |
11509 | Now, boys, who has made the straightest track? |
11509 | Oh, how can you know that, my dear? 11509 Pray tell me, sir, who has purchased your fine painting of the''Angel Uriel,''which won the prize at the exhibition of the Royal Academy?" |
11509 | Standing at the foot, boys, Gazing at the sky, How can you get up, boys, If you never try? 11509 They do,"said his mother,"but what do you suppose is the reason that the birdies love your father?" |
11509 | Was there ever gentlest shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Saviour, who would have us Come and gather round his feet? 11509 What does Rabbi mean?" |
11509 | What does that mean? |
11509 | What does_ verily_ mean? |
11509 | What is a_ miracle_? |
11509 | What is the price of it? |
11509 | What is the second? |
11509 | What shall we do for dinner? |
11509 | What''s to hinder it? |
11509 | Where is it to be found? |
11509 | Why, mamma, ca n''t you guess? |
11509 | Will four hundred pounds be enough for it? |
11509 | Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? 11509 Yes, mother: I''ve asked him to forgive me: and I believe him when he says he will; for_ does n''t he love to help and save children_?" |
11509 | Yes, my child,she said,"it''s all settled with me; but have you settled it all with Jesus?" |
11509 | You are-- are you? |
11509 | ''Lord, why are Thy hands so rent and torn?'' |
11509 | ''Yet, my friend, God will hear you,''''"What shall I pray?"'' |
11509 | ( The kneeling man in the background has apparently just performed this duty?) |
11509 | After listening to her for awhile, he said:"But you have never been there, Miss D., and how do you know there really is any such place?" |
11509 | And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? |
11509 | And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? |
11509 | And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? |
11509 | And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? |
11509 | And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? |
11509 | And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? |
11509 | And how about the miser? |
11509 | And if any one asks what is meant by humility? |
11509 | And if we ask why did not the angels come to him now, as they did on other occasions? |
11509 | And now the question is-- who are meant by"his own servants?" |
11509 | And so, as soon as they were seated around him, on the Mount of Olives, they said,"Tell us, when shall these things be? |
11509 | And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? |
11509 | And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? |
11509 | And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? |
11509 | And then, looking to their successful companion, they said--"Tell us, Harry, how you managed to make so straight a track?" |
11509 | And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? |
11509 | And this is the lesson that Jesus would have all his people learn when he says to each of them:--"Lovest thou me? |
11509 | And what does Jesus say to us? |
11509 | And what is the result of this glorious giving to Jesus himself? |
11509 | And what kind of men did he choose? |
11509 | And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? |
11509 | And when we think of all that Jesus did and said to show his interest in children, we may well ask ourselves such questions as these,--Why was it so? |
11509 | And who can tell what a comfort it is for a poor pardoned sinner to have Jesus-- the Lord of heaven and earth-- dwelling in his heart? |
11509 | Are these the same dull clouds that we looked upon a few moments before? |
11509 | Art thou stricken in life''s battle? |
11509 | As he sat by his window, propped up in his chair, and saw the boys playing in the street, he would say to himself:"Why has God made me thus? |
11509 | As she stooped down for the last kiss, he said--"Is it all settled, mother?" |
11509 | At once she clapped her hands and exclaimed:"It''s not for you, teacher, is it? |
11509 | But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? |
11509 | But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? |
11509 | Ca n''t you think of anything?" |
11509 | Did He send an angel from heaven to bring us this bread?" |
11509 | Did the promise fail which says,"Give, and it shall be given unto you?" |
11509 | Do thy steps drag wearily? |
11509 | Do you ask me if he succeeded? |
11509 | Each of them suspected himself-- and asked sorrowfully--"Lord, is it I?" |
11509 | Have you not heard that I have made him a partner with myself in the government of the empire?" |
11509 | He said to the bishop,"Do you take no notice of my son? |
11509 | He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? |
11509 | He seemed displeased at first; but after awhile he replied,''I sometimes go to church on Sunday; and then I suppose I pray, do n''t I?'' |
11509 | He then lying on Jesus''breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? |
11509 | Here we see the truth of the lines which someone has written:"Numb and weary on the mountain Wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow? |
11509 | How do you know but what he might come round to this hospital this very night? |
11509 | I asked her what was the matter? |
11509 | I lifted up my heart for God''s blessing on what I said; and presently, in a quiet way, I asked him this question:''Driver, do you ever pray?'' |
11509 | In speaking of this holy sacrament, the question is asked--"What are the benefits whereof we are partakers thereby?" |
11509 | In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? |
11509 | Is the heart a living power? |
11509 | Is there anything in the closet that we can get to eat?" |
11509 | Is thy burden hard and heavy? |
11509 | Jesus said to him, as if to remind him of his great sin,"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" |
11509 | Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? |
11509 | Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? |
11509 | Mrs. Hartley felt sorry for her son''s perplexity, and quietly said,"Then, Ben, you do n''t believe in the Lord''s prayer?" |
11509 | My question is_ this_: will you please tell me the_ secret_ of your success in business?" |
11509 | Nathanael had a very poor opinion of the place, and he asked--"Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" |
11509 | One day Jane said,"Mary, how does it happen that you always say your lessons so well?" |
11509 | Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember thee? |
11509 | Pray what do you mean?" |
11509 | Tell me why?" |
11509 | The chief priests and scribes were greatly displeased, when they heard it, and"said unto him, hearest thou what these say? |
11509 | The elder child as they roused her, opened her eyes exclaiming,"Mamma, is it morning?" |
11509 | The latter boy crept close up to his poor suffering companion and said:"Bobby, did you ever hear about Jesus?" |
11509 | The speaker in the book of Job was thinking of this Great Teacher when he asked--"_Who teacheth like him_?" |
11509 | The teacher asked--"Why do you wish to keep him from being flogged?" |
11509 | Then Jesus asked the question,"Which now, of these three thinkest thou was neighbor to him that fell among thieves? |
11509 | Then Peter whispered to John, who was leaning on the bosom of Jesus, to ask who it was that was to do this? |
11509 | Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? |
11509 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? |
11509 | Then turning to Annie, she said:"Do n''t you know, my dear, that you are going to die?" |
11509 | These are the words of the hymn which gave that dear child so much comfort on her dying bed:"I leave it all with Jesus, Then wherefore should I fear? |
11509 | They said to him:--"Come on, let''s go; what''s the use of wasting your time on that good- for- nothing lump of stone?" |
11509 | They say unto him,... Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? |
11509 | They would say to the children--"what do you want here?" |
11509 | Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? |
11509 | To what may we compare this wonderful change? |
11509 | We believe this because the Bible tells us so; but how do we know that he loves us children?" |
11509 | What can you do with these? |
11509 | What did he do it for? |
11509 | What do you wish to say?'' |
11509 | What shall I do?" |
11509 | What think ye? |
11509 | What was I to do? |
11509 | When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? |
11509 | When Jesus said to Peter,"Lovest thou me? |
11509 | When St. Augustine, one of the celebrated fathers of the early Church, was asked-- What is the first important thing in the Christian religion? |
11509 | When he came by where Mary was sitting, he stopped a moment, and said, in a good- natured way:"What book is that you are reading, my little maid?" |
11509 | When the storm was over the teacher said:"Willie why were you not afraid like the other children?" |
11509 | Who can tell the influence that children are exerting in the world? |
11509 | Why did these distinguished persons, of the Old Testament history, come from heaven to visit him in place of the angels? |
11509 | Why have I not limbs to run and jump with like other boys?" |
11509 | and Jesus said unto them, yea: have ye never read, out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" |
11509 | and how could I get: there when both my legs is broke?" |
11509 | and so long as I work, what does it signify to me what the work is? |
11509 | and what shall be the sign, when all these things shall be fulfilled?" |
11509 | asked Jennie in a soft, subdued voice,--"do you think he cares how we act?" |
11509 | but where_ are_ the nine? |
11509 | hath no man condemned thee? |
11509 | or who is he that gave thee this authority? |
11509 | what shall we do?" |
11509 | what_ is it which_ these witness against thee? |
21496 | I suppose so,he answers;"_ but it does not greatly matter._"The question is, Do we already possess the strength for which we ask? |
21496 | What,asks Mr. Picton,"are we to say of bad men, the vile, the base, the liar, the murderer? |
21496 | 81, 84, 86, 89; for a concise treatment of this subject the reader may be referred to the present writer''s_ Jesus or Christ_? |
21496 | And even if we can successfully annihilate them by denying their existence, whence did they come in the first place? |
21496 | And have we not already referred to some of the ethical teachers themselves as men of high character and gracious personality? |
21496 | And how can there be a higher Will without a Higher Personality, a God who impresses His law upon us and makes us aspire after the ideal good? |
21496 | And if an embrocation may be used with good effects in the latter case, why may it not be used in the former? |
21496 | And if such was the case once, may it not be the case still? |
21496 | And if they will not, by what means do they propose to show that it is not a legitimate deduction from their own axiom, the unreality of evil? |
21496 | And if we are not, what is this but to affirm our freedom and our responsibility alike in doing and forbearing? |
21496 | And if we have thus found an answer to the question,"How, from the point of view of{ 32} Divine immanence, can there be anything but God?" |
21496 | And this opens up the larger and more general question, Must we, in view of the facts of life, surrender the idea of the Divine benevolence? |
21496 | And, furthermore, what is it that is transacted? |
21496 | Are there not plenty of kindly, conscientious, well- conducted agnostics who might serve as models to some of{ 177} their Church- going neighbours? |
21496 | Are they{ 49} also in God and of God? |
21496 | Are we to regard the Creator''s work as like that of a child, who builds houses out of blocks, just for the pleasure of knocking them down? |
21496 | Are we, then, to find Him in the sunshine and the rain, and to miss Him in our thought, our duty and our love? |
21496 | But do we grant these premises-- do we grant Mrs. Eddy''s fundamental pantheistic assumption of"the allness of God"[ 3]? |
21496 | But how are we to think of its enduring? |
21496 | But if God is All in all, and All- good, what is that malicious animal magnetism which is somehow not God and not good? |
21496 | But if omnipotence is limited-- which sounds, we admit, a contradiction in terms-- we ask once more, In what way and by whom? |
21496 | But in what sense? |
21496 | But is it legitimate, we ask, to identify God with"the Absolute,"or is not this merely a way of begging the question? |
21496 | But ought we not to have shown first of all that He is conscious? |
21496 | But what about this popular notion which identifies personality with materiality, and{ 77} therefore denies the former attribute to God? |
21496 | But why, the questioner proceeds, have made sin even possible? |
21496 | But why, we ask, should Mr. Wells feel this passionate desire, if all the failures and uglinesses of life are"necessary and important"? |
21496 | But, we ask, what is this higher order, this note of command, but the expression of a higher Will? |
21496 | Can we conceive of Him as doing something in answer to a human petition which He would not do apart from such a petition? |
21496 | Could He not have made us incapable of feeling any but pleasant sensations? |
21496 | Does, then, nature impress us as the outcome of chance? |
21496 | From"malicious animal magnetism"? |
21496 | Has all this work been done for nothing? |
21496 | His will is either the absolutely best or it is not; if it is, why pray that He may modify it? |
21496 | How could such a culminating assurance come to us? |
21496 | How could these and their like possibly be granted by a just and merciful Creator? |
21496 | How will this conception help us to{ 16} such an end? |
21496 | How, we are{ 133} entitled to ask, would Christian Science deal with the teething- troubles which attend babyhood? |
21496 | If God is all,_ then what are we_? |
21496 | If He is All, how can there be aught beside Him? |
21496 | If He is such as religion represents Him, how can He be present in these? |
21496 | If creation does not please the Creator, why did He not make it better? |
21496 | If it is not, is He not less than perfectly good, since His design admits of improvement? |
21496 | If the proof to the contrary was so overpowering, why, as a matter of fact, has it_ not_ overpowered them? |
21496 | If we are asked,"Is it conceivable that suns and stars shall pass away-- as they undoubtedly will-- and that man shall persist?" |
21496 | If we are not other than He is, how can we act other than He wills? |
21496 | Instead of"Was the gift good?" |
21496 | Is God expressing Himself in the ferocity of the tiger, the poisonous malice of the cobra, the greed of every unclean carrion- bird? |
21496 | Is it all ephemeral, all a bubble that bursts, a vision that fades? |
21496 | Is it objected that ploughing and sowing, unlike prayer, are physical exertions made for the purpose of bringing about physical results? |
21496 | Is prayer only a very noble form of auto- suggestion-- are its effects merely subjective, or are they also objective? |
21496 | Is the application so far to seek? |
21496 | Logical Pantheism rules out the possibility of sin against man or God--"for who withstandeth His will,"seeing that He is the only real Existence? |
21496 | May we not ask-- Who, after all, would prefer the safety of automatism to the glory of this Divine adventure? |
21496 | May we not surmise that nine times out of ten this is precisely what has happened when we hear the question asked,"But how_ can_ God be personal?" |
21496 | On such a supposition, why pray-- for even were there One other than ourselves to pray to, what is there to pray for? |
21496 | On the other hand, if a fretful baby is allowed to divert himself by hammering the piano keys, is the result ever remotely akin to a tune? |
21496 | On which side shall we cast our verdict? |
21496 | Or rather, Does not the very fact that we ask for it prove that we do not possess it, and that He from whom we ask it is not ourselves? |
21496 | Or shall we be told that, whatever a man''s theoretical Determinism, in practice he will{ 50} always be conscious of his freedom? |
21496 | Or, to quote the actual question of a believer in this kind of immanence, Why ask outside for a strength which we already possess? |
21496 | Prayer is founded upon the belief that the Deity is at least interested in His worshipper-- or else, why speak to the Unheeding? |
21496 | Says Cassius to Brutus:-- Have you not love enough to bear with me When that rash humour which my mother gave me Makes me forgetful? |
21496 | Shall we be told that we can not think that God would grant a certain wish only on condition that we{ 209} expressed it to Him? |
21496 | Shall we be told that"the question is not whether these opinions are dangerous, but whether they are true?" |
21496 | Suppose we challenge it; what will He say in defence? |
21496 | That being so, is not faith shown to be practically superfluous, and the autonomy and sufficiency of ethics a demonstrated fact? |
21496 | The question is asked-- again, quite naturally and inevitably-- In what sense can we speak of God as immanent in the inorganic world? |
21496 | Then where do you draw the line? |
21496 | There can be no bay where there is no boundary, and where in this case could the boundary be found, for there can be nothing outside the infinite?" |
21496 | This is what Mr. Picton calls"the peace of absorption in the Infinite"; would it not be simpler to call it annihilation, and have done with it? |
21496 | This, no doubt, was what Turgenev meant when he asked,"Does not all prayer mean_ au fond_ a wish that in a given case two and two may not make four?" |
21496 | Was that a good and beneficent object? |
21496 | We ask ourselves, in encountering such cases,"Wanting is-- what?" |
21496 | We should stop these things if we could; why does not He? |
21496 | What of the millions of millions of suns that blaze in immeasurable space beyond our comparatively little solar sphere? |
21496 | What,_ e.g._, can we think of a statement like the following, which we quote from the columns of a religious journal? |
21496 | Wherein consists His right to punish us for our transgressions? |
21496 | Why does He permit war, or vivisection, or poverty, or vice-- in fact any of"the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to"? |
21496 | Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?" |
21496 | Why should the moral consciousness of the higher races accept the principle which places self- sacrifice above self- seeking? |
21496 | Why, indeed? |
21496 | Why, we repeat, this strange non- intervention of the Most High on behalf of His own cause? |
21496 | Will Christian Scientists acquiesce in that inference? |
21496 | Will Mr. Salter help us to determine its nature more clearly? |
21496 | Will you alter it, gentlemen? |
21496 | Would humanity be happier if chaos was substituted for order? |
21496 | [ 1] To the question,"Of what nature is the limitation of His power?" |
21496 | [ 3] Is there, then, or is there not, something"genuinely transacted"in the experience of prayer? |
21496 | [ 5] But if God is omnipresent, His presence must be displayed in the disease; if He is omnipotent, how can there be a usurper on His throne? |
21496 | [ 6] Indeed, how could the universe"love"one of{ 51} its mere passing phases? |
21496 | we should more often ask,"Was the recipient wise?" |
21496 | { 110} But now we are confronted with a more fundamental question: Could not God have obviated the phenomenon of pain altogether? |
21496 | { 206} But can we go any further than this? |
44119 | But who may abide the day of his coming? 44119 But why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
44119 | I pray thee, of whom did the Prophet speak these words? |
44119 | Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? 44119 Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do you stone me? |
44119 | To which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? |
44119 | 13 Are we not told that the child born, the son given, is the mighty God? |
44119 | After his resurrection we hear them saying,"Lord wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" |
44119 | Against fallen and rebellious man? |
44119 | Against whom do the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together?" |
44119 | And are not God and man united in the complex person of Jesus of Nazareth, Israel''s long promised and expected Messiah? |
44119 | And are not all the other passages, of a similar kind, equally applicable to the Christ of God? |
44119 | And did he not demand all men, to honour the Son, even as they honour the Father? |
44119 | And is not the whole Psalm a striking description of his unparalleled sufferings, of his unprecedented degradation and humility? |
44119 | And to Pilate''s question, whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you, Barabbas or Jesus? |
44119 | And what relationship would there then have existed between Christ and his church? |
44119 | And who is this mighty conqueror? |
44119 | And why so soon after their transgression? |
44119 | Are not the other triumphs of the Spirit worthy of regard, when five thousand are made willing cordially to embrace Christ crucified? |
44119 | Are we not taught in the case of our first parents, the absolute necessity there is for our knowing and receiving Christ? |
44119 | Are we not told that no man hath seen the Father, save the only begotten of the Father, who came down from heaven? |
44119 | As he was openly put to shame on earth, is it not right that he should here also be publicly rewarded? |
44119 | At one time, the Herodians are sent with the question,"Is it lawful to give tribute to CÃ ¦ sar, or not?" |
44119 | Besides, what advantage could they hope to gain by such a scheme? |
44119 | But against whom is it directed? |
44119 | But are we, for that cause, to refuse our belief of its truth? |
44119 | But do not the guilty sigh for pardon, the captives for liberty, the oppressed for a deliverer? |
44119 | But do they not, in robbing him of Deity, destroy all his claim to our attention? |
44119 | But even allowing the body to have been gone whilst they slept, how could they possibly know, that it was the disciples who had taken it? |
44119 | But he mildly answered,"Yea, have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" |
44119 | But if, as the soldiers proclaimed, the disciples did steal him away, why are these handful of fishermen allowed to retain possession? |
44119 | But where shall we find the man who can, by any means,"redeem his brother, or give to God a ransom for his soul?" |
44119 | But wherefore all this care and attention over the dead body of one crucified at Golgotha? |
44119 | But who could have directed them to this obscure retreat, to find the infant King? |
44119 | But why is the sword called upon to awake against him? |
44119 | But why"do these heathens rage, and against whom do these kings of the earth set themselves,"and wherefore all this consultation and contrivance? |
44119 | But, shall the unchangeable Jehovah alter his purposes or mould his plans, to meet the idle fancies or short- sighted schemes of the children of men? |
44119 | But, were none found to espouse his cause? |
44119 | Can this be the answer of the meek and lowly Jesus to a beloved follower, who only spoke with an intention to prevent his Lord from suffering? |
44119 | Did Moses choose rather"to suffer affliction with the people of God, than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season?" |
44119 | Did Moses esteem the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt? |
44119 | Did Moses plead for the rebellious Israelites? |
44119 | Did he not also appear to Joshua, as Captain of the Lord''s hosts? |
44119 | Did he not honour many of the patriarchs and prophets with a display of his person? |
44119 | Did he not in vision appear in the same form to Ezekiel and Daniel, as he afterwards did to John, in the Isle of Patmos? |
44119 | Did not the recipients of his bounty appear for his rescue? |
44119 | Did not this glorious Mediator love to manifest himself in that character to the Church, from the earliest ages of the world? |
44119 | Did not those eyes he had blessed with vision, with tears supplicate compassion for their benefactor? |
44119 | Do they not, with the Jews, raise the cry of blasphemy against him? |
44119 | Do we hear the Prophet inquire"Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth the wine- vat?" |
44119 | Do we not find an opinion generally prevalent amongst the ancient Jews, that no man could see the face of God, and live? |
44119 | Do we not hear Jesus saying-- I and my Father are one, the Father dwelleth in me, and I in him, he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father also? |
44119 | Do we not here instantly recognise the language of the despised Nazarene? |
44119 | Do ye now need to be reminded that the words are a true description of the man ye call Jesus of Nazareth? |
44119 | Even Pilate marvelled at his silence, and exclaimed, hearest thou not how many things these witness against thee? |
44119 | God is not"a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent:""hath he said, and shall he not do it?" |
44119 | Has he not ever been the only visible image of the invisible God? |
44119 | Has he not pronounced an awful curse on those who worship any but the true God? |
44119 | Have they no claim to our gratitude? |
44119 | Have ye not read of his life, of his acts, of his words, and ways; but above all, have ye not heard the oft told tale of his death? |
44119 | He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? |
44119 | He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? |
44119 | In short who can discover or fully explain the mysterious link which unites mind to matter? |
44119 | In what court of judicature shall we find such another instance? |
44119 | In what light are we to view them, if not as descriptive of the person of the God- man, Christ Jesus? |
44119 | Is Jerusalem yet the"joy of the whole earth?" |
44119 | Is it not more than probable, that God, in the person of the Father, has ever been invisible to the inhabitants of earth? |
44119 | Is it not the second person in the glorious Trinity, who has taken the human nature into union with his divine person? |
44119 | Is it not to this, we must attribute the otherwise extraordinary silence Jesus manifested at the injustice of Pilate''s sentence? |
44119 | Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? |
44119 | Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? |
44119 | Is it to secure a powerful tyrant, the scourge of an oppressed nation? |
44119 | Is not God represented in his word, as highly jealous of his honour, and has he not solemnly declared, that he will not give his glory to another? |
44119 | Is not Jesus proclaimed King of Zion; the Lord our Righteousness, and the Prince of Peace? |
44119 | Is not the Son declared equal to the Father as touching his Godhead? |
44119 | Is not the view of a suffering Redeemer calculated to raise the Christian''s confidence, even in seasons of the deepest affliction? |
44119 | Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? |
44119 | Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? |
44119 | Is this the conduct of Roman warriors? |
44119 | Is this the language of the man, who, when he was reviled, reviled not again, and when persecuted, he blessed? |
44119 | Listen to their cry,"Men and brethren, what must we do?" |
44119 | May we not join in happy chorus,"O death, where is thy sting? |
44119 | Might not the sight of unclouded Deity destroy a body of flesh? |
44119 | Must not he, who paid the full price of a soul, know its worth? |
44119 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
44119 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
44119 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
44119 | Or if his body had been formed of the dust, as was Adam''s, how could the promise given at the fall of man, have been fulfilled? |
44119 | Perhaps it may be thought superstitious weakness, to imagine an eclipse portended some great event? |
44119 | Should we not feel more disposed to pity and reclaim, that insult and oppress, this deluded people? |
44119 | Surely these were none of the stout hearts who dared even to crucify the Lord of life and glory? |
44119 | The Jews, where are they? |
44119 | The Socinian may smile with contempt when the Deity of Jesus is attested, but is it not written? |
44119 | The next interesting question which arises, is, Who is this Shepherd? |
44119 | They dwell in every land, but have none they can call their own? |
44119 | Thus did he give the most decided testimony to his Godhead, for who but God, strictly speaking, can claim a people as his own? |
44119 | To what cause can we attribute this astonishing change in the minds of three thousand persons in the same instant of time? |
44119 | To what cause must we attribute this act of forbearance, on the part of the by- standers as well as soldiers? |
44119 | Was Moses a prophet? |
44119 | Was Moses as king in Jeshurun? |
44119 | Was it not a condescension in the second person of the glorious Trinity to assume the character and office of Mediator? |
44119 | Was it not the Messiah, who appeared to the Old Testament saints? |
44119 | Was not Satan the ringleader of those who crucified him, in whom his Judges declared, they could find no fault worthy of death? |
44119 | Was not the same glorious personage the man with whom Jacob wrestled, when he is said to have had power with God and to have prevailed? |
44119 | Was this priest of the most High God honoured with the title of King of Salem-- by interpretation, King of Righteousness, and King of Peace? |
44119 | We eagerly inquire what powers could have had such influence over him, as to occasion so great anguish of spirit? |
44119 | Were not those tongues whose powers of articulation Jesus had restored, heard to plead for mercy? |
44119 | Were not those withered arms he had healed, upraised to shield from insult the giver of their strength? |
44119 | What end was it designed to answer? |
44119 | What lamb so patient under the hand of the destroyer? |
44119 | What man can, by any means, redeem his brother, or give to God a ransom for his soul? |
44119 | What other nation has so long preserved a distinction? |
44119 | What sword? |
44119 | What was it which so soon relaxed the nerves, and damped the bravery of a soldiery, famed for their discipline and valour? |
44119 | When he entered our world, was there not a proclamation of peace on earth, and good will to man? |
44119 | When were converts to Christianity most numerous? |
44119 | Whence this mark of respect, toward the object of their scorn and abhorrence? |
44119 | Where are the Britons, Romans, Saxons, Normans, ancient inhabitants of our Isle? |
44119 | Where shall we find a person who so closely resembles Moses, as Christ? |
44119 | Who can discover or fully explain the nature, order, and beauteous economy, displayed in the animate and inanimate creation? |
44119 | Who is this King of glory? |
44119 | Who is this King of glory? |
44119 | Who so oppressed and afflicted as he? |
44119 | Who so patient under insult and tyrannical cruelty? |
44119 | Who so silent under the voice of calumny? |
44119 | Why are thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? |
44119 | Why did not the Chief Priest, at the head of the Jewish Sanhedrim, supported by the Roman authority, instantly compel them to surrender the body? |
44119 | Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
44119 | Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
44119 | Would not the true majesty, and splendour of Godhead be more than man in his present state could bear? |
44119 | Would you behold the justice of God? |
44119 | Would you know the mercy of God, and see a display of his love to man? |
44119 | Yet how is the method of man''s reconciliation with God slighted? |
44119 | [ 38] We are told the word is derived from Natzar, which signifies a branch; and is not Jesus described as the man whose name is"the Branch?" |
44119 | and bring him under the curse and punishment pronounced by the eternal and unchangeable Jehovah, against every blasphemer? |
44119 | and did he not speak of the calamities that would befall the Jews? |
44119 | and has he not declared, that it will profit us little"to gain the whole world and lose our own soul?" |
44119 | and who shall stand when he appeareth?" |
44119 | could ye not watch with me one hour?" |
44119 | in fact do they not make him an impostor and deceiver? |
44119 | is it I?" |
44119 | or rather, where are they not? |
44119 | or"hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" |
14780 | And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God''s high priest? 14780 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? |
14780 | Are you come out as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? 14780 Art not thou that Egyptian which, before these days, madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?" |
14780 | Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 14780 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? |
14780 | Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? 14780 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? |
14780 | Then the chief captain came, and said unto him( Paul), Tell me, Art thou a Roman? 14780 Were these powers claimed or exercised by the founders of the sects of the Waldenses and Albigenses? |
14780 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 14780 ) Who would not desire, who perceives not the value of an account delivered by a writer so well informed as this? 14780 58)? 14780 A little while and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? 14780 A little while? 14780 An Otaheitean or an Esquimaux knows nothing of Christianity; does he know more of the principles of deism or morality? 14780 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 14780 And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? |
14780 | And he answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? |
14780 | And how did it succeed there? |
14780 | And many of the people believed on him and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than those which this man hath done?" |
14780 | And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? |
14780 | Are the calamities which at this day afflict it to be imputed to Christianity? |
14780 | Are the nations of the world into which Christianity hath not found its way, or from which it hath been banished, free from contentions? |
14780 | Are the truths of natural religion written in the skies, or in a language which every one reads? |
14780 | Are their contentions less ruinous and sanguinary? |
14780 | But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother; and who are my brethren? |
14780 | But is this to do justice, either to themselves or to the religion? |
14780 | But it will be said, if one religion could make its way without miracles, why might not another? |
14780 | But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him: do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? |
14780 | But what are these consequences? |
14780 | Could they expect it from the people,"whose acknowledged confidence in the public religion"they subverted from its foundation? |
14780 | Could they hope to escape the dangers in which he had perished? |
14780 | Did Huss or Jerome in Bohemia? |
14780 | Did Luther in Germany, Zuinglius in Switzerland, Calvin in France, or any of the reformers advance this plea?" |
14780 | Did Wickliffe in England pretend to it? |
14780 | Did the applauded intercommunity of the pagan theology preserve the peace of the Roman world? |
14780 | Do ye not understand that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? |
14780 | Does it check the inference which we draw from the confessed beneficence of the provision? |
14780 | For what are we comparing? |
14780 | From whence did these come? |
14780 | Has it anything to do with it? |
14780 | Has the necessity of this alternative been demonstrated? |
14780 | Hath Poland fallen by a Christian crusade? |
14780 | Hath any founder of a new sect amongst Christians pretended to miraculous powers, and succeeded by his pretensions? |
14780 | Hath the overthrow in France of civil order and security been effected by the votaries of our religion, or by the foes? |
14780 | He censured an overstrained scrupulousness, or perhaps an affectation of scrupulousness, about the Sabbath: but how did he censure it? |
14780 | He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation? |
14780 | If bad men, what could have induced them to take such pains to promote virtue? |
14780 | If it be said that this disposition is unattainable, I answer, so is all perfection: ought therefore a moralist to recommend imperfections? |
14780 | If they would not inquire, how should they be convinced? |
14780 | In these two latter instances the question proposed was,"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
14780 | Is it a probability approaching to certainty? |
14780 | Is it a probability of any great strength or force? |
14780 | Is it for that they contain accounts of supernatural events? |
14780 | Is it incredible that God should interpose for such a purpose? |
14780 | Is it not sufficient for them, that we have sent down unto them the book of the Koran to be read unto them?" |
14780 | Is it such as no evidence can encounter? |
14780 | Lastly, where do we discern a stronger mark of candour, or less disposition to extol and magnify, than in the conclusion of the same history? |
14780 | Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? |
14780 | Now how does this apply to the Christian history? |
14780 | Now in what way can a revelation be made, but by miracles? |
14780 | Now upon the subject of the truth of the Christian religion; with us there is but one question, viz., whether the miracles were actually wrought? |
14780 | Now, how does the history of the age correspond with this account? |
14780 | Now, how stands the proof of this point? |
14780 | Or are our modern unbelievers in Christianity, for that reason, in danger of becoming Mahometans or Hindoos? |
14780 | Or shall we say that some early Christians of taste and education composed these pieces and ascribed them to Christ? |
14780 | Our Saviour, speaking to Peter of John, said,"If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"'' |
14780 | Saint Paul addresses this person as a Jew:"King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? |
14780 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
14780 | Suppose him to design for mankind a future state; is it unlikely that he should acquaint him with it? |
14780 | The next words to these,"who shall declare his generation?" |
14780 | The only question which, in my opinion, can be raised upon the subject is, whether the prophecy was really delivered before the event? |
14780 | The question concerning the woman who had been married to seven brothers,"Whose shall she be on the resurrection?" |
14780 | The remaining letters of the apostles,( and what more original than their letters can we have?) |
14780 | The works of Bede exhibit many wonderful relations: but who, for that reason, doubts that they were written by Bede? |
14780 | Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest?" |
14780 | Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us? |
14780 | Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? |
14780 | Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat? |
14780 | They are not disposed( and why should they?) |
14780 | They said, therefore, What is this that he saith? |
14780 | This happy peculiarity is a strong proof of the genuineness of these writings: for who should forge them? |
14780 | This question is, in effect, no other than whether the story which Christians have now be the story which Christians had then? |
14780 | This, without ascribing to him at the same time some proofs of his mission,( and what other but supernatural proofs could there be?) |
14780 | Was any reader of English history ever sceptic enough to raise from hence a question whether the Marquis of Argyle was executed or not? |
14780 | Was it bigotry that carried Alexander into the East, or brought Caesar into Gaul? |
14780 | Was it the part of a writer who dealt in suppression and disguise to put down this anecdote? |
14780 | Was our Saviour, in fact, a well instructed philosopher, whilst he is represented to us as an illiterate peasant? |
14780 | What account can be given of the body, upon the supposition of enthusiasm? |
14780 | What could the disciples of Christ expect for themselves when they saw their master put to death? |
14780 | What had the apostles to assist them in propagating Christianity which the missionaries have not? |
14780 | What knew they of grace, of redemption, of justification, of the blood of Christ shed for the sins of men, of reconcilement, of mediation? |
14780 | What was Jesus in external appearance? |
14780 | When was ever a change of religion patronized by infidels? |
14780 | Whence had this man his wisdom? |
14780 | Whereas, may it not be said that irresistible evidence would confound all characters and all dispositions? |
14780 | Who hath believed our report? |
14780 | Who is there that would not wish his son to be a Christian? |
14780 | Who that has any charity? |
14780 | Who was likely to record the travels, sufferings, labours, or successes of the apostles, but one of their own number, or of their followers? |
14780 | Who were his coadjutors in the undertaking,--the persons into whose hands the religion came after his death? |
14780 | Who would write a history of Christianity, but a Christian? |
14780 | Why askest thou me? |
14780 | Why should we question the genuineness of these books? |
14780 | Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? |
14780 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
14780 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
14780 | and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? |
14780 | and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? |
14780 | are much cleared up in their meaning by the bishop''s version;"his manner of life who would declare?" |
14780 | did it prevent oppressions, proscriptions, massacres, devastation? |
14780 | i. e. who would stand forth in his defence? |
14780 | or does it make us cease to admire the contrivance? |
14780 | or is this the case with the most useful arts, or the most necessary sciences of human life? |
14780 | who that is compassionate? |
6135 | But how may I certainly know what God wants of me? |
6135 | But will not people walk over us, if we do not stand up for our rights? |

6135 | Have you received the Holy Ghost? 6135 Have you received the Holy Power? |
6135 | How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? |
6135 | How may I know the guidance of the Holy Spirit? |
6135 | How then before Thee shall I dare To stand, or how Thine anger bear? 6135 Light obeyed increaseth light; Light resisted bringeth night; Who shall give me will to choose If the love of light I lose? |
6135 | My soul, ask what thou wilt, Thou canst not be too bold; Since His own blood for thee He spilt, What else can He withhold? |
6135 | Reader, have you made such a consecration as this? 6135 Shall I, for fear of feeble man, The Spirit''s course in me restrain? |
6135 | Should I be silent? 6135 What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?" |

6135 | And then, were they not to be His Ministers of State and chief men in His Kingdom? |
6135 | And what power is that? |
6135 | And what was the standard of unity to which He would have us come? |
6135 | And"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?" |
6135 | Are they true? |
6135 | Are you careful and have you victory in this matter, my comrade? |
6135 | Are you ever cast down and depressed in spirit? |
6135 | Are you filled with the Spirit? |
6135 | Awed by a mortal''s frown, shall I Conceal the word of God most high? |
6135 | Because the Bible tells us so? |
6135 | Because the Church teaches it in her creed, and we have heard it from the catechism? |
6135 | But already they were troubled, for what could this death and departure mean but the destruction of all their hopes, of all their cherished plans? |
6135 | But how can this be in a world such as this? |
6135 | But how can this be? |
6135 | But how shall I know that I have met these conditions in a way to satisfy Him, and that I am myself saved? |
6135 | But what can fit a man for such sacred work? |
6135 | But what was the secret of David and Moses? |
6135 | But, may we not? |
6135 | But, then, consider well, Hugh, dost thou not know from whence thou comest? |
6135 | Can these be reconciled? |
6135 | Can you, my brother? |
6135 | Charles Wesley expresses this in one of his matchless hymns:--"How can a sinner know His sins on earth forgiven? |
6135 | Do you ask,"How can I get such a blessing?" |
6135 | Do you say,"I can not understand it"? |
6135 | Do you think the temper is destroyed or sanctified? |
6135 | Do you want the witness to abide? |
6135 | Do you want this blessing, my brother, my sister? |
6135 | Dr. Daniel Steele tells of a Jew who was asked,"Is it that you_ can not_, or that you_ will not_ believe?" |
6135 | Has He called you into the work, my brother? |
6135 | Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?" |
6135 | Have you this power? |
6135 | He asked the first one upon whom he called,"How is it with you this morning?" |
6135 | He asks,"or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? |
6135 | He must be some august Divine Person, and not a mere influence or impersonal force, for how else could He take and fill the place of Jesus? |
6135 | He said to Ananias,"Why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost?" |
6135 | He was ordered into the king''s presence, who, with a stern voice, asked:"How dared you thus offend me?" |
6135 | How can fire dwell in a piece of iron until its very appearance is that of fire, and it becomes a fire- brand? |
6135 | How can my gracious Saviour show My name inscribed in Heaven? |
6135 | How can one be always hopeful, always abounding in hope, in such a world? |
6135 | How can the electric fluid fill and transform a dead wire into a live one, which you dare not touch? |
6135 | How can they know when I have in my heart repented and believed, and when His righteous anger is turned away? |
6135 | How can we do this? |
6135 | How can we find truth and know it? |
6135 | How could their poor hearts be otherwise than troubled? |
6135 | How do we know Jesus Christ is divine? |
6135 | How does God guide us? |
6135 | How else could it be said that it was better to have Him than to have Jesus remaining in the flesh? |
6135 | How much more when the friendship is heavenly? |
6135 | How shall I know that I am accepted of God?--that I am saved or sanctified? |
6135 | How then? |
6135 | How, then, shall I know that I am justified or wholly sanctified? |
6135 | How, then, shall we escape error and be"sound in doctrine"? |
6135 | IS THE BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT A THIRD BLESSING? |
6135 | IS THE BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT A THIRD BLESSING? |
6135 | In Him was all their help, and what would they do, what could they do, without Him? |
6135 | Is Jesus Christ divine? |
6135 | Is Satan a personal being, and is there a Hell in which the wicked will be for ever punished? |
6135 | Is it God''s will that the tides of the Atlantic and Pacific should sweep across the Isthmus of Panama? |
6135 | Is man a fallen creature who can be saved only through the suffering and sacrifice of the Creator? |
6135 | Is sin omnipotent? |
6135 | Is the Bible an inspired Book? |
6135 | Is there, then, confusion here? |
6135 | Is this your spirit? |
6135 | Leaving her he called immediately upon the other sister, and asked,"How are you to- day?" |
6135 | My brother, my sister, what is your experience just now? |
6135 | Now, what saved the child? |
6135 | Or are they only fancies and falsehoods, or figures of speech and distortions of truth? |
6135 | Or is the old man still warring against Him in your heart? |
6135 | Reading his text, he commenced thus:''Hugh Latimer, dost thou know before whom thou art this day to speak? |
6135 | Shall I, to soothe the unholy throng, Soften Thy truth, or smooth my tongue? |
6135 | That men should run under the Alps? |
6135 | That thoughts and words should be winged across the ocean without any visible or tangible medium? |
6135 | The truth pierced them as a sword until they said,"What shall we do?" |
6135 | Then"they asked of Him, saying, Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" |
6135 | Thoughts, desires, that enter there, Should they not be pure and fair? |
6135 | To this Jesus replied with gracious kindness and searching logic:"How can Satan cast out Satan? |
6135 | Upon whose message thou art sent? |
6135 | WHO IS HE? |
6135 | WHO IS HE? |
6135 | What did Peter and James and John care for the great places in the kingdoms of this world after they were filled with the Holy Ghost? |
6135 | What does Paul teach us here? |
6135 | What is his secret? |
6135 | What is it that cleanses or sanctifies, and how? |
6135 | What is truth without love? |
6135 | What kind of preaching is this? |
6135 | What men have loved and laboured and sacrificed as these men? |
6135 | What truth? |
6135 | What was his secret? |
6135 | What was the secret? |
6135 | What was the secret? |
6135 | What, then, was his secret? |
6135 | When will the Lord''s dear children learn that the religion of Jesus is a lowly thing, and that it is the little foxes that spoil the vines? |
6135 | Whence the superiority of these men? |
6135 | Where is the disputer of this world? |
6135 | Where is the scribe? |
6135 | Who can explain_ how_ food sustains life; how light reveals material objects, how sound conveys ideas to our minds? |
6135 | Who can understand it? |
6135 | Who have been the mightiest and most faithful preachers of the gloom and terror and pain of a perpetual Hell? |
6135 | Who is He? |
6135 | Who is this other One-- this Comforter? |
6135 | Why do men deny the divinity of Jesus Christ? |
6135 | Why do men dispute the inspiration of the Scriptures? |
6135 | Why do men doubt a Day of Judgment, and a state of everlasting doom? |
6135 | Why do people seek for guidance and not find it? |
6135 | Why should they be troubled? |
6135 | Will there be a resurrection of the dead, and a day in which God will judge all the world by the Man Christ Jesus? |
6135 | Would these men, who denounce us so, be willing to forgo their religious ecstasies and spend their lives in such lowly, unheralded service?" |
6135 | Would they now admit His claim to be the Son of God, their promised and long- looked- for Messiah? |
6135 | _ The Doctrine._--What is the teaching of God''s word about holiness? |
6135 | and why art thou disquieted in me? |
6135 | have not I the Lord? |
6135 | or who shall stand in His holy place? |
6135 | when the Friend is our Lord and Saviour, our Creator and Redeemer, our Governor and Judge, our Teacher, Guide, and God? |
38965 | How shall this be done,and yet my vow be left intact? |
38965 | How shall this be done? |
38965 | How shall we sing in a strange land? |
38965 | Whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? |
38965 | Who is My Mother? |
38965 | Who is She? |
38965 | Who is She? |
38965 | Who is she that cometh up from the desert? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Why hast Thou done so? |
38965 | ("_ How shall this be done?_") 23 7. |
38965 | ("_ Son, why hast Thou done so to us?_") 65 18. |
38965 | (_ Introit for the Feast of the Assumption._) What were the causes of their joy? |
38965 | All those to whom He appeared would take it for granted that His Mother had seen Him-- why write down a thing that everybody knew? |
38965 | Am I in_ haste_ to perform acts of charity, especially when the request for them comes at inconvenient moments? |
38965 | Am I prepared to ratify this offering that my Elder Brother made in my name? |
38965 | Am I ready to give them up to Him to Whom they belong when He asks for them? |
38965 | Am I ready to make my sacrifice-- even a blind one-- ready to say:_ Ecce adsum_--"Behold, here I am"--and to trust where I can not understand? |
38965 | Am I, like Mary, absolutely faithful to any contract that I may have made with GOD? |
38965 | And He answers:"Did you not know that I must be about My Father''s business?" |
38965 | And do I regard it as something precious, consecrated and dedicated, GOD''S Temple, His own dwelling- place? |
38965 | And during those long years-- according to some opinions fifteen, to others, twenty- three-- what was Mary''s strength? |
38965 | And if Mary turned and said:"Yes, my child, what is it?" |
38965 | And it is the same flame of love which now impels her to speak:"How shall this be done?" |
38965 | And shall not I, too, take an interest in this wondrous Treasury? |
38965 | And what about JESUS? |
38965 | And what about Mary''s joy? |
38965 | And what is such an effectual barrier to sympathy as the feeling that we are not understood? |
38965 | And what was Mary''s part? |
38965 | And what will be my position there? |
38965 | Are my affections set on things above, where JESUS and Mary are? |
38965 | Are not all such things as these a part of it? |
38965 | Are these great things possible for me? |
38965 | As soon as I know that whatever is being asked of me is the Holy Spirit''s doing, am I at rest? |
38965 | Before I go on, let me ask myself to what extent I am copying my Mother in at once passing on to GOD all praise that may come to me? |
38965 | But are we not making Mary almost equal with her Son? |
38965 | But what is It to those who know? |
38965 | Can I, sweet Mother of Sorrows, pour balm into that terrible wound? |
38965 | Can it be that they do not believe that GOD did great things for her? |
38965 | Can it be that they refuse to listen to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit Who tells them that Mary is blessed among women? |
38965 | Could any gulf be wider? |
38965 | Could not her intercession for the Church have been even more effectual had she been close to her Son''s throne in Heaven? |
38965 | Could she not have been the Mother of Good Counsel in Heaven for those who had to guide the Church in its infancy, as she has been ever since? |
38965 | Did Mary receive the Last Sacraments? |
38965 | Do I always take JESUS with me when I go to visit my friends? |
38965 | Do I follow my Mother''s example in this? |
38965 | Do I in my times of desolation turn instinctively to His House, where I know that He is hidden? |
38965 | Do I love to hear about my own country? |
38965 | Do I realise that this makes my body holy? |
38965 | Do I say:"How can this be done?" |
38965 | Do I tell my Mother of all the difficulties of the way and allow her to console me with stories of the Homeland? |
38965 | Do those whom I visit feel that I create an atmosphere-- an atmosphere which makes them more ready to bless JESUS and Mary? |
38965 | Does it almost weary me to have such perfection given me to copy? |
38965 | Does it seem impossible? |
38965 | Does my happiness, even in the midst of trial, make others understand what great things GOD_ can_ do for those who love Him? |
38965 | Does not everything in the house speak of Him? |
38965 | Does she sit still and mourn over the days that are gone? |
38965 | Does the joy that is in my heart show itself in my countenance, in my manner, in my actions, and sometimes perhaps in my words? |
38965 | Does the mother mind the sighs? |
38965 | For the third time the Angels ask the question:"Who is she that cometh up from the desert flowing with delights, leaning upon her Beloved?" |
38965 | GOD gave His reasons this time-- but when He does not, what then? |
38965 | Have I any right to claim the privileges? |
38965 | Have things of earth no attraction for me in comparison with heavenly things? |
38965 | How can I be like JESUS, and a child of thine without it? |
38965 | How can I do this or that_ here_? |
38965 | How comes it that there is no sorrow with which the Heart of Mary can not sympathise? |
38965 | How could Joseph bear to have suspicions of his wife, whom he considered to be purity itself, and whom he loved so tenderly? |
38965 | How did Mary win the Victor''s crown? |
38965 | How does Mary act? |
38965 | How far am I like her? |
38965 | How far am I like my Mother in this? |
38965 | How far do I copy my Mother in this? |
38965 | How is it that"never is it heard of that her children turn to her in vain"? |
38965 | How is it with me? |
38965 | How often I say it!--_Hail Mary!_ What do I mean by it? |
38965 | How was Mary transformed? |
38965 | How was the world transformed? |
38965 | If I know that He is there, why need I trouble so much about the ups and downs? |
38965 | If my salvation cost JESUS and Mary so much, ought it not to cost me something too? |
38965 | Is it my first motive and object? |
38965 | Is it not just because of this flame of communicating love? |
38965 | Is it so? |
38965 | Is it so? |
38965 | Is my whole heart in Heaven because my treasure is there? |
38965 | Is not this something like my_ Hail Maries_ carelessly and lightly said? |
38965 | Is there any use in crying for re- admittance? |
38965 | Is there anything in which I can copy her in her visit to her cousin Elizabeth? |
38965 | It was certainly_ love_ that prompted the word, but in what sense was it a_ transforming_ love? |
38965 | Let me answer my question by another:_ Could_ GOD do otherwise? |
38965 | Mary had more reason to hope than many others, for was she not of the tribe of Judah, and of the House of David? |
38965 | Mary''s Fifth Word"_ And His Mother said to Him: Son, why hast Thou done so to us? |
38965 | Mary''s First Word"_ And Mary said to the Angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?_"( St Luke i. |
38965 | May not another reason have been in order that she might be the_ better able to sympathise_ with the exiled children of Eve(_ exules filii Evæ_)? |
38965 | O Mother of fair love, why do the poor banished children of Eve so continually turn to thee? |
38965 | Of what, then, did Mary die? |
38965 | Or is she disappointed to find that her child''s thoughts are not really with her at all? |
38965 | She knew that He would rise again-- but would she see Him? |
38965 | She says straight out what she is feeling, with that holy familiarity to which her love gives her a right:"Son, why hast Thou done so to us? |
38965 | That is: Who is she who is adorned with all possible graces and virtues? |
38965 | This was Mary''s sacrifice-- but what is her part in the Sacrifice that her Son is offering to His Father for the world''s redemption? |
38965 | To what extent have I taken this word seriously? |
38965 | To what extent is this_ flamma amoris compatientis_ burning in me? |
38965 | To whom, then, is it more natural for the poor banished children of Eve to turn than to the Mother whose one idea is to get them back? |
38965 | Was it just before the War in Heaven, when He revealed His plans to the first creatures of His Hands? |
38965 | Was it not just what they wanted? |
38965 | Was it on the day of the Holy and Immaculate Conception? |
38965 | Was it when He spoke to our first parents of"the seed of the woman"? |
38965 | Was the birth of this little one so different from any other? |
38965 | What about our sacrifice? |
38965 | What did our Lord do with His interruption, which was a very real one, and far more disturbing than are many of ours of which we complain so readily? |
38965 | What do I know of this flame of joyful love? |
38965 | What does He do? |
38965 | What does Mary''s death say to me? |
38965 | What does it mean-- this word"_ Ave_,"_ Hail!_ with which Gabriel begins his message? |
38965 | What does it mean? |
38965 | What have I got to do, then, in the matter? |
38965 | What have_ I_ got to do as an exile? |
38965 | What is the secret, then, of suffering? |
38965 | What is this ark sanctified by GOD but Mary''s body, of which the Son of GOD took flesh? |
38965 | What is to decide whether I get it or not? |
38965 | What made those Communions so intense? |
38965 | What position shall I earn? |
38965 | What was JESUS to Mary in the land of her exile? |
38965 | What was it that gave her an almost superhuman courage? |
38965 | What, then, must have been the measure with which Mary was"filled with the Holy Ghost,"for what was the Apostles''work compared with hers? |
38965 | When did GOD begin to prepare His Tabernacle? |
38965 | When she turns at my_ Hail!_ to ask me for something, does she always get it? |
38965 | Where can I get it? |
38965 | Who had a greater right to know it than Mary, through whose means the Incarnation took place? |
38965 | Who is My mother? |
38965 | Who is my Mother? |
38965 | Who is this but the Queen of Heaven clothed with her glorious body of immortality? |
38965 | Why are the Angels so full of interest? |
38965 | Why is mine so precious? |
38965 | Why was Abraham called the friend of GOD? |
38965 | Why was Mary''s body so precious? |
38965 | Why was her body not left in the tomb? |
38965 | Why was it? |
38965 | Why, then, has He done so? |
38965 | Why, then, should Mary die? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Would He come to her? |
38965 | Would it be better not to say it at all, than to risk any want of respect to that Mother whom I love so dearly? |
38965 | Would it be fair if all were easy and smooth for me? |
38965 | Would it be worthy of Himself if He were to give me anything less than a_ perfect_ copy? |
38965 | Would not the Beatific Vision in Heaven have been better than her Communions on earth? |
38965 | _ 1st Prelude._ The Angels asking three times:"Who is she?" |
38965 | _ Colloquy_ with Mary, asking her to obtain for me the grace to say with her:"How shall this be done?" |

38965 | that it was of me that He thought and to me that He spoke? |
28103 | Beauty and kindness go togethersaith the poet; but is there any kindness in creating men for the purpose of making them miserable for ever? |
28103 | Turn ye, turn ye, why will you die? |
28103 | to choose? |
28103 | to come? |
28103 | to eat? |
28103 | to hear? |
28103 | to repent? |
28103 | 1,"who hath believed our report?" |
28103 | 3);"Hath not God chosen the poor in this world rich in faith?" |
28103 | :--What is the character of the Being revealed in nature? |
28103 | A man who has hitherto lived an ungodly life becomes converted, and the question arises--how are we to account for this moral phenomenon? |
28103 | After detailing what had been done, the question is asked,"What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? |
28103 | And can anything be said against it? |
28103 | And if Divine wisdom watches over the seeds of the vegetable kingdom, does it not stand to reason that it will do so in regard to truth? |
28103 | And if God foreordained them, how can we esteem Him as wise and good? |
28103 | And if God''s prophet intimated disaster-- which actually occurred-- where was there deception? |
28103 | And if every one of our deeds is fixed, what better are men than mere automata? |
28103 | And if not to our intelligence wise and good, how can we give Him our confidence and love? |
28103 | And if so, why was it that Paul was so distressed about them, as he says, in the first part of the chapter, that he was? |
28103 | And is not the life that is to come a continuance of the life that_ now is_? |
28103 | And is not this just? |
28103 | And is not this partiality? |
28103 | And what answer could be given? |
28103 | And what is done in the world? |
28103 | And what is that evidence? |
28103 | And what would this involve? |
28103 | And what, then? |
28103 | And where does this lead to? |
28103 | And where the justice of condemning the man to be cast, in these circumstance, into outer darkness? |
28103 | And will it bear looking at? |
28103 | Are not men called upon"to look?" |
28103 | Are they anthropophagi, or are they of a friendly disposition? |
28103 | Are we to throw reason to the dogs when we speak on scriptural subjects? |
28103 | Ask him how it came about? |
28103 | Aye, why? |
28103 | Because the blind beggar takes an alms, has he whereof to glory? |
28103 | Because they resisted him, would it be right to say that they were physically stronger than God? |
28103 | But does it prove it? |
28103 | But had He a right to extend mercy as He saw fit? |
28103 | But here the questions arise-- What is the nature of God''s predestination? |
28103 | But how can these words prove universal foreordination? |
28103 | But how could He exhort them to believe in the light, if He knew that the Divine Father had rendered their doing so an impossibility? |
28103 | But how do men enter into this adopted family? |
28103 | But how is it made? |
28103 | But how stands the case? |
28103 | But if everything has been fixed how can this be done? |
28103 | But if they were elected by an infallible decree, how could they make it sure? |
28103 | But is it not clear as day that the author of a decree is the author of the thing decreed? |
28103 | But is this a good ground for rejecting it? |
28103 | But may not this change in the man take place without this_ tertiam quid_, or third something? |
28103 | But the primary question with an honest inquirer should not be, which view of a subject is the most agreeable? |
28103 | But the question is simply this,--what was it that God had determined to be done? |
28103 | But the question is-- What is His pleasure in regard to the production of virtue? |
28103 | But what about the_ security_ of the believer? |
28103 | But what are sinful actions? |
28103 | But what does the other say? |
28103 | But what is His will? |
28103 | But what is wisdom? |
28103 | But what more comfort could a man desiderate than is given by the Holy Spirit? |
28103 | But why do some yield, and some not? |
28103 | But why was the ground rejected, or reprobated? |
28103 | But why were they rejected-- reprobated? |
28103 | But why would he not? |
28103 | Can any one give a reason for it that will stand scrutiny? |
28103 | Can such declarations be justified if the transactions recorded were all foreordained? |
28103 | Could we call a father a good father who foreordains that one- half of his offspring should be burned? |
28103 | Do not the heretical opinions denounced by the Fathers bear a close resemblance to the"elect"and the"reprobate"of the Confession of Faith? |
28103 | Does God determine the number of suicides? |
28103 | Does it prove eternal election? |
28103 | Does not fate say this? |
28103 | Does the above passage prove this? |
28103 | Does the patient who takes the medicine under the persuasion of a kind physician, and is cured, have whereof to boast? |
28103 | Doubtless, health is a precious blessing; but is it given arbitrarily, like special grace? |
28103 | Dr. W. Cooke remarks,"What is involved in necessity? |
28103 | Had God a RIGHT to select the Jacobites as the Messianic people instead of the Edomites? |
28103 | Had He a right to deal with the destinies of men as He judged right? |
28103 | Had He a right to destroy Pharaoh when he refused to yield? |
28103 | Had He expired during the sore agony in the garden, would not His death have been meritorious? |
28103 | Has He not written His mind in the providence around us? |
28103 | Has brain, nerve, habit, nothing to do with the case? |
28103 | Have they not a ring of genuine sincerity about them? |
28103 | Having observed footmarks upon the sand, and other tokens of man''s presence, another question would be, What is the character of the people? |
28103 | He asks,"Why one is born rich, and another poor? |
28103 | He extends mercy to those who believe in Jesus: PHARAOH.--_Inquirer_,--"But what do you make of Pharaoh? |
28103 | How is it to be explained that two persons equal in talent and moral worth, obtain such unequal measure of success? |
28103 | How stands the case? |
28103 | If Christ has died only for a few, and the names of these are kept a profound secret, how can I believe that I am among that few? |
28103 | If Christ was put before those unbelievers for the purpose of making them disobey, then would not this be to put a stumbling- block in their way? |
28103 | If God used force in this matter, why reason with men and appeal to them as He does? |
28103 | If he said that God did not wish them to keep His law, would not this have been to put the Holy One on a level with the great enemy of man? |
28103 | If men sow nettle-seed or the seed of briers and thorns, is it not fair that they should reap the fruit? |
28103 | If so, the matter may be easily settled thus:--Does God foresee that men will sin? |
28103 | If twenty plans are presented to me, and I select one only, does not this imply the rejection of the others? |
28103 | Is He beneficent, or like the fabled Chronus, who devoured his children? |
28103 | Is he not, moreover, the maker of his own character? |
28103 | Is it a forced or free thing? |
28103 | Is it not the case that the author of a decree is not responsible for the sin of the decree?" |
28103 | Is it possible to choose one of two things, excepting for reasons to be found in the things themselves? |
28103 | Is man governed by the law of necessity as storms are, and as waters are? |
28103 | Is not this favouritism? |
28103 | Is there anything in the context to prove the reverse? |
28103 | It is as follows:--"Shall the trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? |
28103 | It is this-- Are there_ immeritorious_ grounds of salvation, and are men required to be active in their moral regeneration? |
28103 | It is true that the words"election"and"grace"occur in this passage; but the simple question is, what is their meaning? |
28103 | It is very true that God is the source of all the good in the world, but does He bestow it arbitrarily? |
28103 | It was this:--Whence comes insanity? |
28103 | Its exhortations summed up are expressed thus--"Turn ye, turn ye, why will you die?" |
28103 | Let us suppose this to be the meaning-- what then? |
28103 | Look at the biographies of prominent men, and what do we find? |
28103 | Look now at the unsaved man: why has he not believed? |
28103 | MERCY ON WHOM HE WILL.--_Inquirer_,--"But did not God claim the right to extend mercy to whom He pleased, and to withhold it from whom He pleased?" |
28103 | Mr. Robinson has put the case thus:"What is election? |
28103 | Now, if the"whereunto"refers to the"disobedient,"how could they be charged with disobedience if they were just doing what they were appointed to do? |
28103 | Now, if we take the passage in the Calvinistic sense, that it refers to salvation, what will follow? |
28103 | Now, we do not question God''s right to do what He will with His own, but is this difference in mental calibre purely an arbitrary act? |
28103 | Now, when I take up the Bible, what do I find? |
28103 | On what, then, does the doctrine rest, if not upon the use of the word? |
28103 | Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?" |
28103 | Since, then, the truth believed is a sufficient reason for the change, why introduce the theory of irresistible grace? |
28103 | Such being, we conceive, a correct representation of the terms, we have to inquire, where lies the alleged incompatibility of prescience and freedom? |
28103 | Suppose that there was no robe for the man, would he or should he have been speechless? |
28103 | Supposing this to be the case, can there be any choice, election? |
28103 | THE POTTER AND THE CLAY.--_Inquirer_,--"But what of the potter and the clay, verse twenty- one?" |
28103 | The Catechism asks the question,"Did God leave all mankind to perish in the estate of sin and misery?" |
28103 | The apostle had asked, in the first verse,"Hath God cast off His people?" |
28103 | The feeling of security is very agreeable; but how, if strict Calvinism is adhered to, is any man to get intelligently amongst the elect? |
28103 | The question is asked,"Is God the cause or author of man''s salvation, or is man the author of his own salvation?" |
28103 | The question is this-- what has God, in the exercise of His sovereignty, chosen to do? |
28103 | The question then is, does this passage prove eternal and unconditional election? |
28103 | The question, however, is not whether God has a plan, but what that plan comprehends? |
28103 | The questions, then, which force themselves upon our attention are these: Do these inequalities originate with God, or with man?" |
28103 | The result, if he did, was predicted; was this deception? |
28103 | The simple question is this: does this passage prove unconditional election? |
28103 | The simple question then is, Does this doctrine of Calvinistic election exhibit God as a respecter of persons? |
28103 | Their language is,"Choose ye this day whom ye will serve;""Wilt thou not from this day say unto me, My father?" |
28103 | Their value turns on this-- does God_ mean_ what He says? |
28103 | These creatures do as God desires; is it so as regards man? |
28103 | They entrench themselves behind such passages as,"Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated;""Hath not the potter power over the clay?" |
28103 | They said,"Of what use are all doctrines and precepts? |
28103 | To press for an answer to this question is just to press for an answer to another-- viz., why do men sin? |
28103 | True, but what does this mean? |
28103 | True, but will the followers of Calvin maintain that he knew more of divinity than Christ? |
28103 | True; but did He foreordain them? |
28103 | Turn ye, turn ye, from your evil way, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" |
28103 | Unconditionally? |
28103 | WERE a number of shipwrecked mariners cast upon an island, one of their first inquiries would be, Is it inhabited? |
28103 | Was he not a typical illustration of the unconditionally reprobated?" |
28103 | Was there anything in the nature of the truth preached to them and believed by them fitted to do this? |
28103 | We can not conceive that such a question would have been asked, viz.,"Why will ye die?" |
28103 | We then asked,"Do you think that God wishes people to keep His law?" |
28103 | Were I then to stand on the bank of the river and ask the sinking man, Why will you die? |
28103 | Were we therefore asked whether we denied election? |
28103 | What is freedom? |
28103 | What is it to be a respecter of persons? |
28103 | What is prescience? |
28103 | What, then, are the objects which God has in view in evangelical election? |
28103 | What, then, are we to understand by the doctrine of reprobation? |
28103 | What, then, can be clearer than this opposition? |
28103 | What, then, had God determined to be done? |
28103 | When, then, Dr. Payne quotes the words,"He giveth none account of these things,"we ask, is it so? |
28103 | Which will it be? |
28103 | Who ordained these and a thousand such horrid deeds? |
28103 | Why will not theologians look at things from a commonsense point of view? |
28103 | Why, then, insist upon irresistibility when it is repudiated by Christian consciousness? |
28103 | Why, then, insist upon it in religion? |
28103 | Will he command him to go aloft when it is impossible for him to do it, and punish him as guilty of disobedience? |
28103 | Will you be saved? |
28103 | Would Nathan have understood this logic? |
28103 | Would not any one reading these words naturally conclude that God really wished all the people to be saved? |
28103 | Would not such a speech have been perfectly satisfactory? |
28103 | Would the miller marvel that the mill did not go when he had ordained that the water should be shut off? |
28103 | Would you ask a man to walk who had no legs? |
28103 | Would you marvel that the fire had gone out when it was decreed not to give additional fuel? |
28103 | and does it embrace all events? |
28103 | and education? |
28103 | and marriage? |
28103 | and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? |
28103 | but, what is the truth upon the point? |
28103 | to look, if he had no eyes? |
28103 | we should be quite entitled to ask, to what kind of election did our questioner refer? |
28103 | what would be thought of me, or any man, who should act such a part? |
28103 | wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?" |
25974 | But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 25974 Have we not all one father? |
25974 | Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? 25974 Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?" |
25974 | Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 25974 The question is not, Do natural causes operate uniformly? |
25974 | Turn ye, turn ye, for why will ye die? |
25974 | Unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son? |
25974 | _ If God is active out in space, who shall deny Him the right or the power to be active on this planet? 25974 15:3)? 25974 15:3)? 25974 22:3)? 25974 4:7), the question arises, why pray to Our Father in Heaven to be forgiven? 25974 8:28), if the ultimate purpose is simply salvation? 25974 9:12); that it has redeemed us from_ all_ iniquity( Titus 2:14), and that every one that believes is_ justified_ from_ all_ things( Acts 13:39)? 25974 9:24- 27:Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but only one receiveth the prize? |
25974 | A Mohammedan, a Jew, a Christian Scientist, a Unitarian, a Universalist, confess their sins,--are they forgiven? |
25974 | After his terrible sin, God sent word to him by the prophet Nathan,"Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? |
25974 | And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? |
25974 | And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? |
25974 | And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? |
25974 | And if active on this planet at all, then in the individual lives of His children? |
25974 | And if any one says that this was morally impossible, may we not ask again, What is the alternative? |
25974 | And is there knowledge in the Most High? |
25974 | And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? |
25974 | And they say, How doth God know? |
25974 | And who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgement, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding? |
25974 | Are you really satisfied with Him and with what He has done? |
25974 | Are you working in your own field? |
25974 | Are you? |
25974 | As to the first, ought sin to be punished? |
25974 | At last he broke the silence,"Brother James, may I say something to you and you not get angry?" |
25974 | Believest thou this?" |
25974 | But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?" |
25974 | But do not redeemed people, God''s children, sometimes become backsliders? |
25974 | But does Paul teach that there are rewards for bodily sufferings and self- denials? |
25974 | But does the Saviour mean all old men and women who become Christians in old age and begin working in the vineyard? |
25974 | But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a penny? |
25974 | But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? |
25974 | But the objector says,"Will God condemn a man when he has no light?" |
25974 | But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
25974 | But the question arises, if being baptized the right way and living the right kind of a life are not conditions of salvation, why do these things? |
25974 | But who are the"we"? |
25974 | But why love Him? |
25974 | But, reader, remember that_ God is just_; and if that is justice, what would injustice be? |
25974 | But_ are natural causes the only causes that exist or operate_? |
25974 | Can I bring him back again? |
25974 | Can your faith give you something which Christ can not? |
25974 | D. L. Moody, in"The Way Home,""But who may use this prayer,''Our Father which art in Heaven''? |
25974 | Do n''t be angry with me, brother James, but what have you got up yonder?" |
25974 | Do you remember that rich farm of a thousand acres you saw this afternoon? |
25974 | Does not God, because He is God, deserve such earnest consideration from you, reader? |
25974 | Does"the modern mind"absolutely know that God is now inactive and must remain inactive? |
25974 | Finally the banker turned and said,"Brother John, may I say something to you and you not get angry?" |
25974 | Following immediately He says, verse 26,"For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world and forfeit his life? |
25974 | For what shall a man be profited if he shall gain the whole world and forfeit his life, or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? |
25974 | Have n''t I hung my soul upon His"exceeding great and precious promise"? |
25974 | Have you any right to expect anything from Him if you approach Him in a half- hearted, indifferent way? |
25974 | Have you been adopted as a child of God? |
25974 | Have you been redeemed from the curse of the law? |
25974 | Hence, that awful cry,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
25974 | How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment? |
25974 | How can God, because He is just, let the redeemed man, if he is redeemed_ from all iniquity_, be lost? |
25974 | How can an earnest, honest man refuse to make an earnest, honest investigation? |
25974 | How could David be thus sure? |
25974 | How could the Saviour and Peter and Paul have left out these conditions if they are conditions of salvation? |
25974 | How did they become disciples? |
25974 | How then could the spiritual want be produced in the souls of men in order that they might love the spiritual benefactor?"... |
25974 | How? |
25974 | I would like to ask him, what would he preach if he were the pastor of a people who have no character?" |
25974 | If God is their Father and loves them, what can these severe trials and afflictions mean? |
25974 | If I rob Smith and God forgives me, how does that help Smith? |
25974 | If by an imperfect character, how imperfect may it be and the man yet be saved? |
25974 | If he, with his character unexcelled among unredeemed men, was yet unsaved, how can any other unredeemed man hope for salvation by character? |
25974 | If salvation is by character, by what kind of character, a perfect character, or an imperfect character? |
25974 | If that was really the prayer of the publican, how_ could_ the Saviour have said,"This man went down to his house_ justified_"? |
25974 | If the believing soul could be condemned, then why a sacrifice? |
25974 | If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons, for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
25974 | If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
25974 | If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
25974 | If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
25974 | If, then, the new life is not_ eternal_ life,_ what life is it_? |
25974 | In closing this chapter, reader, pause and consider:--are you yet under the law? |
25974 | Is it not that the sinful should be left alone with their responsibility, doom, curse, and death?" |
25974 | Is not satisfaction with Christ enough for you, or for every sinner? |
25974 | Is not the very essence of real faith just your being satisfied with Christ? |
25974 | Is the motive of your life love of Christ because He has redeemed you from all iniquities? |
25974 | Is there a being called"Nature"who made these laws? |
25974 | Nay, and is not this the truest kind of faith? |
25974 | Now comes the all- important question, what do these parallel expressions,"believe on Christ"or"believe in[ into] Christ"mean? |
25974 | On what condition does He justify the ungodly? |
25974 | Or will Christ give you nothing till you can produce faith of a certain kind and quality, whose excellences will entitle you to blessing? |
25974 | People are ever asking,"Will the heathen be lost without the gospel?" |
25974 | Reader, which field are you working in? |
25974 | Reader, will you be among the number who make this foolish, this fatal mistake? |
25974 | Second, ought all sin to be punished, or only the coarser, grosser, more offensive sins? |
25974 | Shall men be looked upon as sensible when they flee to safety for their bodies, and be scorned for fleeing to safety for their souls? |
25974 | Tell me therefore which of them will love him most?" |
25974 | Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most? |
25974 | Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most? |
25974 | That would have meant no moral laws; for why have moral laws, if there would be no penalty, no justice? |
25974 | The high priest asked,"Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
25974 | The oft- quoted sentence,"What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul? |
25974 | Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? |
25974 | They were different in light and in opportunity and in sins, and yet punished alike? |
25974 | This leads to another question: How can God be_ just_ and_ not_ justify"him that hath faith in Jesus"? |
25974 | This thing is wrong; God did this thing; therefore, God did wrong? |
25974 | To any honest, candid man, which is the correct way to reason? |
25974 | Two questions arise: first, ought sin to be punished? |
25974 | Was Paul buffeting his body against having a wife lest he should be a castaway( or rejected) from salvation? |
25974 | What can be surer or freer than that?" |
25974 | What deeds? |
25974 | What does"repent"or"repentance"mean? |
25974 | What life, if not eternal life? |
25974 | What more could you have? |
25974 | What more, then, do you wish? |
25974 | What right has any man living in sin and in open enmity with God, to lift up his voice and say, Our or My Father? |
25974 | When the jailor came trembling and fell down before Paul and Silas and brought them out and said,"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" |
25974 | When the jailor fell down before Paul and Silas and brought them out and said,"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" |
25974 | Where is man in the scale of being? |
25974 | Where is the standard? |
25974 | Where will you be? |
25974 | Which shall it be in your case, reader? |
25974 | Which shall it be in your case, reader? |
25974 | Who did the sinning? |
25974 | Who hath directed the spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him? |
25974 | Who is able to so shape the circumstances of each life as to properly develop each character? |
25974 | Who knows how to develop each character properly? |
25974 | Who knows the defects, the weaknesses, of each character? |
25974 | Who knows what each character ought to be? |
25974 | Who revealed to"the modern mind"that these laws were immutable? |
25974 | Why did not the Saviour and Peter and Paul express these conditions? |
25974 | Why do ye not understand my speech? |
25974 | Why is he saved? |
25974 | Why is it necessary for this man of character to believe on Christ in order to be saved? |
25974 | Why love Him? |
25974 | Why not? |
25974 | Why should others who stand with him in rejecting complete redemption through Christ? |
25974 | Why the difference? |
25974 | Why this similarity? |
25974 | Why, then, serve God? |
25974 | Why, then, should the one who has thus trusted Christ ever be baptized, or live a faithful, godly life? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Why? |
25974 | Will a man be a castaway( or rejected) from salvation for enjoying comforts and privileges that are not sinful and to which he has a right? |
25974 | Will you will, will you choose, to make an honest, persistent investigation? |
25974 | With whom took he counsel? |
25974 | _ But how many_ of our sins? |
25974 | _ FOR FURTHER STUDY_: A brief list is here given of books that will be helpful to sceptical readers:"Why Is Christianity True?" |
25974 | _ FOR FURTHER STUDY_: The fear of Abraham is the fear of the human race, Gen. 18:25,"Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?" |
25974 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
25974 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
25974 | and in thy name have cast out demons? |
25974 | and in thy name have cast out demons? |
25974 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?" |
25974 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
16307 | Ages ago, a lady there, At the farthest window facing the East Asked, Who rides by with the royal air? |
16307 | And is the man that is to be still far in the distance? |
16307 | And is there any absolute right? |
16307 | And we may venture to ask also-- Who started this movement in which we are all involved? |
16307 | And what more convincing evidence of the spiritual nature of man could be desired than that he asks such questions? |
16307 | Are all ideas concerning spiritual ministry delusions? |
16307 | Are all reverent, earnest, cheerful, optimistic? |
16307 | Are not some born moral cripples as others are born with physical deformities? |
16307 | Are not some spiritually deaf, dumb, and blind from birth? |
16307 | Are not such persons conscientious? |
16307 | Are temptation, sin, sorrow, and even death, angels of God sent forth to minister to the perfection of man? |
16307 | Are the hindrances in the path of the soul without any ministry? |
16307 | Are there any clearly defined paths by which this knowledge may be reached? |
16307 | Are they perfecting souls which at last are to be laid away with the bodies which were fortunate enough to win an earlier death? |
16307 | Are they taught as a duty in the Scriptures? |
16307 | Are they two experiences? |
16307 | Are we in the midst of a process of evolution? |
16307 | Are we now thinking of immensities, eternities, and the cosmic process? |
16307 | Are we thinking of Jehovah the God of Israel? |
16307 | But has no clearer voice spoken? |
16307 | But how do I know? |
16307 | But how is it to be taught to appreciate that one voice only in all that confusion of strange sounds should be heeded, and all the rest disregarded? |
16307 | But how shall it discern the morally excellent? |
16307 | But what efficacy will prayers for the dead have? |
16307 | But what then shall be said of heredity? |
16307 | But when we have ascended to such a height what does the word Father mean? |
16307 | But who ever bore the griefs of another before he himself had felt sadness? |
16307 | But why did He appear at all after death? |
16307 | By mother- love? |
16307 | Can we be sure that no malign spiritual influences hinder and bewilder? |
16307 | Did John Bunyan truly picture the ascent of the soul? |
16307 | Do love and mutual helpfulness prevail? |
16307 | Do the members of the family live as if God were a near and blessed reality, and right and duty were more sacred than life? |
16307 | Does any light from Jesus penetrate the mystery of death? |
16307 | Does its path, of necessity, lead through the Slough of Despond, through Vanity Fair, by Castle Dangerous, and into the realm of Giant Despair? |
16307 | Does the death of the body do anything more than change the mode of the spirit''s existence? |
16307 | Does this teaching seem mystical and fanciful? |
16307 | Given the spiritual being, what are the stages through which he will pass on his way to the goal toward which he is surely pressing? |
16307 | Has our idea expanded so as to include all the nations? |
16307 | Has the horizon been lifted to take in heavenly heights? |
16307 | Have they had a fair chance? |
16307 | How can our systems of education be justified, if the soul is perfected only to be destroyed? |
16307 | How can we say then that any are free? |
16307 | How could it be otherwise, since its being is derived from Him? |
16307 | How could it have been otherwise? |
16307 | How does the soul become adjusted to the moral order? |
16307 | How has this epoch in the ascent of the soul been treated in literature? |
16307 | How may it be adjusted to this knowledge? |
16307 | How may prayers for the dead be justified? |
16307 | How may sorrow, suffering, and even moral evil be made ministers of an upward movement? |
16307 | How shall the bitter injustice which is frequently found on the earth be explained? |
16307 | How shall we explain the singular devotion of Monica to Augustine? |
16307 | How, then, does it learn what truth and right are? |
16307 | IS DEATH THE END? |
16307 | If His teaching is true, is it not as reasonable to try to serve those of our loved ones who are out of the body as those who are in the body? |
16307 | If one asks for proof that the spirit persists, the only reply must be a Socratic one-- Can you prove that it is vitally connected with the body? |
16307 | If prayer helps any one, why not those who have passed from our sight? |
16307 | If that were true, how could we account for the enormous waste in discipline and culture, in education and affection? |
16307 | If we are thus helped why should we presume that they may not also, by such sweet hours, be strengthened for their duties? |
16307 | In other words, is not the fact that we are spirits all the proof that we need to have of the Father of Spirits? |
16307 | In the meantime let us ask, What aid does the soul need in its passage through its life on the earth? |
16307 | Indeed, may it not be assumed that physical differences are but expressions of still more clearly marked differences in spirits? |
16307 | Is Jesus Christ the brightness of the Father''s glory? |
16307 | Is Jesus the unique revelation of the divine? |
16307 | Is evolution alone a sufficient guarantee that it will some time reach its goal? |
16307 | Is he correct? |
16307 | Is it an end or a beginning? |
16307 | Is it difficult to select the one phrase of all human utterances which has exerted the largest influence in ameliorating the human condition? |
16307 | Is it from man himself? |
16307 | Is it necessary that any should fall in order that they may rise? |
16307 | Is it possible to believe that the man was less enduring than his work? |
16307 | Is not a single ray of light all the evidence which any one needs of the reality of the sun? |
16307 | Is not the presence of one spiritual being a demonstration of a greater Spirit somewhere? |
16307 | Is not truth a matter of education? |
16307 | Is that ethereal something which we call soul simply the result of the organization of atoms? |
16307 | Is the death of the body the end of the spirit? |
16307 | Is the old doctrine of Guardian Angels true? |
16307 | Is there no way by which a soul may be brought to the knowledge of God except by bitter trials? |
16307 | Is this all? |
16307 | Is this answer rejected as fanciful or superstitious? |
16307 | Is this environment of evil necessary to the development of the soul? |
16307 | Jesus has responded to the essential questions: For what have we been created? |
16307 | Job''s question,"If a man die shall he live again?" |
16307 | Just here we should ask, What do we mean by the soul? |
16307 | May those who have realized this experience help others to attain to it so that the process may be hastened and made easier? |
16307 | Must one pass through hell and purgatory before he may enjoy the"beatific vision?" |
16307 | No freedom? |
16307 | Of its enormity I have already spoken; but what about its origin, its uses, and its continuance? |
16307 | Of what value, then, is conscience? |
16307 | On what do we base our faith that the soul exists after death? |
16307 | One individual may help another to acquire other knowledge,--must it make an exception of things spiritual? |
16307 | Or is the body like a house in which a spiritual tenant dwells? |
16307 | Or that they are moral failures? |
16307 | Or, if we have not sufficient material for a positive statement, is there enough to make a strong affirmation of probability? |
16307 | Other teachers have tried to answer the inquiry, Does God exist? |
16307 | Shall it choose simply to exist? |
16307 | Shall it yield to the limitations and solicitations of the body? |
16307 | Should they be blamed or pitied? |
16307 | So we stand before the future, and ask, Toward what goal are all this education, experience and discipline tending? |
16307 | That many, or most, of these men have been essentially and totally bad? |
16307 | The call of his destiny finds every man, and, when he hears it, he asks: How may I reach that goal? |
16307 | The practical question, therefore, for all in this human world is not, are there spiritual laws? |
16307 | Then how shall we account for the imagination which is capable of giving birth to such magnificent dreams? |
16307 | Then what is conscience? |
16307 | Then, suddenly and swiftly, come the questions, Although my friend is called dead is he any less alive than when he was in the body? |
16307 | This answer only pushes the question one stage further back, and leaves us still inquiring, Where do the souls of men originally come from? |
16307 | Thus hope is born, and he who one moment cries, Who shall deliver from this body of death? |
16307 | VII_ THE PLACE OF JESUS CHRIST_ In the ascent of the soul do light and power come to its assistance from outside and from above? |
16307 | Was it the study of Plato? |
16307 | Well, then, whence does the soul come? |
16307 | What are some of these hindrances? |
16307 | What are the agencies which have most to do with promoting the ascent of the soul? |
16307 | What are the causes of this re- awakening? |
16307 | What are the qualities of the character of Christ? |
16307 | What art thou then? |
16307 | What awakens the soul? |
16307 | What caused it? |
16307 | What caused the revolution in the character of Augustine by which the sensualist became a saint? |
16307 | What do such facts signify? |
16307 | What has made the average of human life so much longer than it was formerly? |
16307 | What has occurred? |
16307 | What if it does? |
16307 | What is death? |
16307 | What is life? |
16307 | What is meant by prayers for the dead? |
16307 | What is our true home? |
16307 | What is the difference between the awakening of the soul and its re- awakening? |
16307 | What is the goal of personality? |
16307 | What is the teaching of the New Testament concerning this subject? |
16307 | What light does Jesus shed upon this mystery? |
16307 | What purpose does it serve? |
16307 | What shall be said of these facts which are so numerous and so evident as to make an effort at classification and explanation imperative? |
16307 | What shall it now do for itself? |
16307 | What shall one generation do for those which are to come after it? |
16307 | What shall the soul do for itself in order that it may promote its own growth? |
16307 | What shall we say of these confusing conditions? |
16307 | What should be the attitude of the soul in view of the hindrances by which it is environed? |
16307 | What will the re- awakened soul do? |
16307 | Whence came the soul? |
16307 | Whence did it come? |
16307 | Whence does this eagerness come? |
16307 | Whence is it? |
16307 | Where did this conviction originate? |
16307 | Which is the greater mystery, life or death? |
16307 | Who can exaggerate the delight and benefit of such an exercise? |
16307 | Who can govern the thinking of another? |
16307 | Who has been able exhaustively to delineate the soul''s humiliation? |
16307 | Who is not surprised every day at what he finds within himself? |
16307 | Who shall answer our questions? |
16307 | Who shall explore the contents of that great phrase? |
16307 | Whom shall we admire? |
16307 | Why are such ministries needed? |
16307 | Why are they allowed? |
16307 | Why are we so slow in learning that conscience, being divine, is authoritative and may be trusted? |
16307 | Why could not the ascent of the spirit be along an easier pathway? |
16307 | Why do men live in houses with scientific plumbing, fresh air, and have well- cooked food? |
16307 | Why is it? |
16307 | Why need sorrow, suffering, sin, and death invade the fair realm into which man has been born? |
16307 | Why not follow its suggestions at once and press on toward that fair land of truth and beauty which so earnestly invites? |
16307 | Why should it be necessary to write its history in tears and blood? |
16307 | Why should we say that what we call death, alone of all the changes through which we pass, leads to that which is unchangeable? |
16307 | Will not all that constituted his personality continue to grow in the future as in the past? |
16307 | Will their children have? |
16307 | Would a figure of clay ask whether it were the abode of a higher order of being? |
16307 | Yet they perform acts which are in themselves wrong? |
16307 | and what purpose do they serve? |
16307 | but, may we choose for ourselves whether we will obey or disobey them? |
16307 | or are they fiends which, in some foul way, have invaded the otherwise fair regions in which we dwell? |
16307 | or different phases of the same experience? |
16307 | or the prayers of Monica? |
16307 | or the preaching of Ambrose? |
16307 | or, shall it seek to prepare itself by discipline, and the cultivation of right choices, for the goal whose intimations it has heard? |
16307 | why not? |
21814 | Dost thou not fear God? |
21814 | Lord, to whom can we go? 21814 Lord, when saw we Thee athirst and gave Thee drink?" |
21814 | Speakest Thou not unto me? |
21814 | What is truth? |
21814 | What then,he asked,"shall I do with Jesus?" |
21814 | What,he proceeded,"shall I crucify your King?" |
21814 | Whom seek ye? |
21814 | ''But,''he said,''do you know what they have been doing all day?'' |
21814 | And Pilate broke in,"Art Thou a king then?" |
21814 | And another[4] asks,"Did ever the new birth take place in so strange a cradle?" |
21814 | And are they not devoted and true to Him still? |
21814 | And do thy kisses, like the rest, betray? |
21814 | And in such moments what can be so helpful as to pilgrim in spirit to the tomb of Him who said,"I am the resurrection and the life"? |
21814 | And is that all passed of passing away? |
21814 | And to these questions is there any answer but this;"Behold the Man"? |
21814 | And to what will it trust-- cleverness or character? |
21814 | And what was this power of which he boasted? |
21814 | And why should it not? |
21814 | Apart from the prophecies going before which had to be fulfilled, was it a matter of indifference what death He died? |
21814 | Besides, did He not make St. John in a quite peculiar sense His own brother by substituting him in His own stead as the son of Mary? |
21814 | But St. Luke''s may include theirs; because, if the centurion meant to state that the claims of Jesus were just, what were His claims? |
21814 | But does experience lead us to believe this? |
21814 | But in what way can we ascertain how it appeared to Him, as from His painful station He looked forth upon the scene? |
21814 | But is it true, as He says here, that everyone who is of the truth heareth His voice? |
21814 | But is this not enough? |
21814 | But ought we not to believe that in all other cases, however obscure the victims, the spirit manifested by Pilate has been equally displeasing to God? |
21814 | But was it not more? |
21814 | But was there, at the same time, any outflashing against Him of the reverse side of the Divine nature-- the lightning of the Divine wrath? |
21814 | But what are we to say of the second-- that He forbade to pay the imperial tribute? |
21814 | But what did he mean when he made this acknowledgment? |
21814 | But what impressions did it make on those who saw it at the time? |
21814 | But what is to be said of Christ''s description of Himself as"sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven"? |
21814 | But what mother''s sufferings were ever equal to Mary''s? |
21814 | But where was he going? |
21814 | But who does not see that the dead Christ is so interesting and wonderful because He is also the living Christ? |
21814 | But who is worthy to look at this sight? |
21814 | But with the angry answer,"Art thou also of Galilee?" |
21814 | But, if a man has thus committed himself by an evil past, what is he to do? |
21814 | But, instead of doing so, He shook Himself free from Judas and, coming forward at once into the moonlight, demanded,"Whom seek ye?" |
21814 | But, then, it is asked, in what condition were they between their reanimation and their resurrection? |
21814 | CALVARY Anyone writing on the life of our Lord must many a time pause in secret and exclaim to himself,"It is high as heaven, what canst thou do? |
21814 | Can He who in words like these offered to quench the thirst of the world be the same who now whispers in mortal exhaustion,"I thirst"? |
21814 | Can we advance a step farther into the mystery? |
21814 | Child and lover of wisdom, do you know the King of Truth? |
21814 | Could good by any possibility rise out of such an abyss of wrong? |
21814 | Could it be said of them all that they knew not what they were doing? |
21814 | Could there have been a more complete triumph over resentment and irritation? |
21814 | Did He say,"Pray not to Me; I am a man like yourself, and I know as little of the unknown country into which we are both about to enter as you do"? |
21814 | Did He so call it simply because His knowledge of the world informed Him of this as one of the greatest indignities of human life? |
21814 | Did I yesterday Wash_ thy_ feet, My beloved, that they should run Quick to destroy me''neath the morning sun? |
21814 | Did not Judas know? |
21814 | Did the priests, scribes and nobles behave better than the mob? |
21814 | Did they remember it now? |
21814 | Does Christ speak no more? |
21814 | Does anyone wish to get still nearer to Christ and hold the cup not only to Him in the person of His members but to His own very lips? |
21814 | From Pilate''s lips there fell two words which the world will never forget-- the question,"What is truth?" |
21814 | Had He been in an ecstasy of communion with His heavenly Father? |
21814 | Had he ever heard Jesus preach? |
21814 | Had he witnessed any of His miracles? |
21814 | Had the angel been a deceiver, and God''s word a lie, and all the wonders of His childhood a dream? |
21814 | Has it ever occurred to you to ask in which group you would have been had you been there? |
21814 | Have we not here the rending of a third veil? |
21814 | Have you actually clambered on Truth''s knees, and clung to her neck, and fed at her breast? |
21814 | He asked only as a libertine might ask, What is virtue? |
21814 | He weakly turned to Jesus Himself, asking,"Hearest Thou not what these witness against Thee?" |
21814 | His own words supply the answer:"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" |
21814 | How and where? |
21814 | How could He help feeling disdain for one who thought of Himself so basely and treated this great crisis so frivolously? |
21814 | How much did he know of the nature of His Kingdom, of which he spoke? |
21814 | How ought any trial to commence? |
21814 | How then was He buried whom all now agree to call the Greatest, the Wisest and the Best? |
21814 | If the salvation which a preacher has to offer is only a course of moral improvement, what can he have to say in such a place? |
21814 | In so large a concourse there would at any rate be acquaintances to see and news to hear; and who could tell what excitement might turn up? |
21814 | In what are we to seek salvation? |
21814 | In what terms shall we express it? |
21814 | Indeed, there was a further shame: how could he confess himself the disciple of the Master whom he had heard blasphemed without protest? |
21814 | Is it not a parable-- a parable of what men and women can do for Him still? |
21814 | Is it not a significant fact, proving that nothing happens by chance? |
21814 | Is it not so still? |
21814 | Is it not the internal whisper, Remember how you have failed before? |
21814 | Is not the world at present full of men and women who are in search of truth, yet pass Christ by? |
21814 | Is the second Salome, John''s mother? |
21814 | Is this credible? |
21814 | Is truth a magic word to you? |
21814 | It has been asked, Was this prayer answered? |
21814 | It is in entire accordance with this that the word with which he approached the Sanhedrim was,"How much will ye give me?" |
21814 | It uttered itself in the word;"Father, forgive them"; and what did it tell? |
21814 | It was in the name of religion they had acted and in the name of God; but which of them was thus impregnated through and through with religion? |
21814 | It was inconsistent with His own purpose and His Father''s will:"The cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?" |
21814 | It was inconsistent with Scripture:"How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?" |
21814 | It was partly with this in view that He went so boldly out and concentrated attention on Himself by the challenge,"Whom seek ye?" |
21814 | May we not add that part of the answer to this prayer has been its repetition age after age by the persecuted and wronged? |
21814 | Now which will you have-- Jesus or Barabbas? |
21814 | Now, however, the hour had come; and was this expectation fulfilled? |
21814 | Of what nature had been the meditations of our Lord during the three hours of silence? |
21814 | Ought He not to have appealed to his conscience and attempted to rouse him to a sense of his sin? |
21814 | Perhaps all the great choices of life ultimately resolve themselves into this one-- Jesus or Barabbas? |
21814 | Pilate asked Him,"Art Thou the King of the Jews?" |
21814 | The Roman soldiers forced it on him; but was it force- work and nothing else? |
21814 | The most momentous question which the dying can ask, or which the living can ask in the prospect of death, is,"If a man die, shall he live again?" |
21814 | The reply of Jesus was cautious; it was another question:"Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee of Me?" |
21814 | Therefore-- what? |
21814 | They were scattered, as He had predicted, and He was left alone; but was He not alone? |
21814 | This greatness, this throne, this crown, this kingdom-- where were they? |
21814 | This is the art of dying; but is it not also the art of living? |
21814 | This was not the first time our Lord quoted Scripture on the cross: His great cry,"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" |
21814 | To what could this be due? |
21814 | Unless they repent and seek pardon for themselves, how can God forgive them? |
21814 | Was a more unjust proposal ever made? |
21814 | Was it a temptation to Him, one wonders, when so often from every side the invitation was given Him to come down from the cross? |
21814 | Was it not an unintentional condemnation of those who had affixed Him there? |
21814 | Was it not the frustration of the purpose and the promise of God? |
21814 | Was it not their duty, when anyone came forward with Messianic pretensions, to judge whether or not his claim was just? |
21814 | Was it to the precipice over which Judas plunged not many hours afterwards? |
21814 | Was there ever such sublime and unselfish clemency? |
21814 | We seem to have killed and buried them; but do you not sometimes hear a knocking beneath the ground? |
21814 | We wish, however, to see the scene enacted on Calvary in its true shape; and where shall we look? |
21814 | What are we to admire? |
21814 | What could it mean? |
21814 | What do we really know of heaven, what do we wish to know, except that it is to be"with Christ"? |
21814 | What end will it seek-- the kingdom of meat and drink, or the kingdom which is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost? |
21814 | What if the soldiers had cut him down? |
21814 | What is it which these witness against Thee?" |
21814 | What is that? |
21814 | What is the spirit? |
21814 | What must it have been to Him, with His delicate bodily organism and sensitive mind, to be in the hands of those rude and ruthless men? |
21814 | What must it have been to Jesus to look on it-- to have it thrust on His sight and into contact with His very person, so that He could not get away? |
21814 | What ought Pilate to have done? |
21814 | What ought to have followed? |
21814 | What reason is there why your return to God should be further postponed? |
21814 | What spirit will it adopt as its own-- that of violence or that of love? |
21814 | What think ye?" |
21814 | What was this work of Christ? |
21814 | When Jeremiah says,"O Lord, Thou hast deceived me and I was deceived,"or when Job demands,"Why did I not from the womb? |
21814 | When hands were laid on Jesus, one of the disciples cried,"Shall we smite with the sword?" |
21814 | When the question,"What is truth?" |
21814 | Where was he rushing to? |
21814 | Which means will it employ-- those which work from without inwards, or those which work from within outwards? |
21814 | Who could wish his spirit to be carried away to God in a more glorious vehicle? |
21814 | Who is able to speak of it? |
21814 | Who is he that smote Thee?" |
21814 | Who shall say what was in that look of Christ? |
21814 | Whom are we to follow? |
21814 | Whom will it choose-- the revolutionist or the regenerator? |
21814 | Why had they arrested Him if they had yet to learn what He had said and done? |
21814 | Why is it that gigantic wrongs flourish from age to age, and practices utterly indefensible are continued with the overwhelming sanction of society? |
21814 | Why is it that, when we think of the crown of thorns now, it is not only with horror and pity, but with an exultation which can not be repressed? |
21814 | Why should He not let His glory blaze forth and confound them? |
21814 | Why should he interrupt the flow of his narrative to add these words of assurance? |
21814 | Why should he not betray in turn? |
21814 | Why was Jesus silent at this point? |
21814 | Why was this not what happened? |
21814 | With cynical disdain they asked,"What is that to us? |
21814 | Would it have served equally well if He had been hanged or beheaded or stoned? |
21814 | Yet it was His work; and how did He do it? |
21814 | You perhaps think they say so to conceal the sins of which they are conscious? |
21814 | [ 1]"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" |
21814 | [ 3] In our generation teachers of every kind are appealing to Christ and putting Him in the centre of theology; but we must ask them, What Christ? |
21814 | [ 3] Which day? |
21814 | [ 6] And how did He respond? |
21814 | and did they not honestly believe that Jesus was not what He professed to be? |
21814 | and does he die forever? |
21814 | and might not Jehovah, if He were injured, blast the man who wronged Him with a curse? |
21814 | art thou a common stone Which I at last must break My heart upon, For all God''s charge to His high angels may Guard My feet better? |
21814 | deeper than hell, what canst thou know?" |
21814 | did not Herod know? |
21814 | did not the high priests know? |
21814 | do you not feel the dead thing turning in its coffin, and see the earth moving above its grave? |
21814 | do you thirst for wisdom? |
21814 | does he all die? |
21814 | he asked, flushing;"knowest Thou not that I have power to crucify Thee and have power to release Thee?" |
21814 | is put with deep earnestness, what does it mean but this?--Who will make God known to us? |
21814 | or a tyrant, What is freedom? |
21814 | or is it an apocryphal marvel, which has been interpolated in the text of St. Matthew? |
21814 | or was it the foreknowledge that He Himself was to be one day in this position which coloured His language? |
21814 | was the Father still with Him? |
21814 | were the crucifiers of Jesus forgiven? |
21814 | what have you ever done to render yourselves worthy of such a privilege? |
21814 | which of them could pretend to a communion with God so close and habitual? |
21814 | who will clear up the mystery of existence? |
21814 | who will reveal to man his own destiny? |
21814 | why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?" |
5608 | And could the Jews, if they had manifestly discovered the cheat of the resurrection a little time before, have entertained such a suspicion? |
5608 | And did Christ in fact meet with any other treatment from the Jews? |
5608 | And for what purpose? |
5608 | And how was it received? |
5608 | And if they had any such just suspicion, why was it not mentioned at the trial of Christ? |
5608 | And now, Sir, what advantage did Christ have of your common and necessary foundation? |
5608 | And since I have mentioned this, that I may not be to return to it again, I would ask the Gentleman now, how he knows there ever were such books? |
5608 | And since all men have an equal right in this case, Why may not the same demand be made for every country; nay, for every age? |
5608 | And since they are lost, how does he know what was in them? |
5608 | And since, if ever there were any, they are lost, how he knows what they contained? |
5608 | And then the Gentleman may bring the question nearer home; and ask, Why Christ did not appear in England in King George''s reign? |
5608 | And what could this be, but the secret conviction they were under, by his many miracles, of his extraordinary powers? |
5608 | And what greater evidence of sincerity can man give or require? |
5608 | And what was there in this conduct to complain of? |
5608 | And why did Jesus vanish as soon as known; which has more of the air of an apparition, than of the appearance of a real man restored to life? |
5608 | And why might not the same thing happen at Jerusalem, which happened but a few years ago in our own country? |
5608 | And will you pretend these cases to be alike? |
5608 | And yet when he found, as the Gentleman allows he did, that he must perish in this attempt, did he change his note? |
5608 | And yet who sees not that it was very much in their purpose so to do? |
5608 | Are the apostles guilty of giving false evidence in the case of the resurrection of Jesus, or not guilty? |
5608 | Are you all agreed? |
5608 | Be it so: I desire to know, whether the Gentleman thinks that the seal put God under covenant? |
5608 | Besides, if prescription must be allowed in this case, how will you deal with it in others? |
5608 | Besides, is it credible that God should raise a body imperfectly, with the very wounds in it of which it died? |
5608 | But allowing the Gentleman all he demands, what is to us? |
5608 | But did this one witness go alone, when he was attended with the powers of heaven? |
5608 | But for the women what shall I say? |
5608 | But how does he infer this? |
5608 | But how? |
5608 | But is there here anything said about Lazarus? |
5608 | But now what is to be objected? |
5608 | But tell us who went with Mahomet? |
5608 | But were not your guards at the door when he came? |
5608 | But were the means made use of at all probable to achieve the end? |
5608 | But what are guards and sentinels against the power of God? |
5608 | But what are these instances to the present purpose? |
5608 | But what body was it they examined? |
5608 | But what design, what real end was carrying on all this while? |
5608 | But what reason had the Jews to suspect them? |
5608 | But what will you call them? |
5608 | But what would you suspect? |
5608 | But when did it arise? |
5608 | But why were these witnesses culled and chosen out? |
5608 | But would you say, that it is incapable of being made plain by human testimony, that this or that man died a year ago? |
5608 | Can any man now in his right senses think, that the disciples under these circumstances entered into this covenant with the Jews? |
5608 | Can the Gentleman give any instances of persons who died willingly in attestation of a false fact? |
5608 | Can you deny this fact? |
5608 | Can you wonder that men believed the reality of those powers of which they were partakers, and became conscious to themselves? |
5608 | Could anything be expected from it but hatred, contempt, and persecution? |
5608 | Could the whole senate have followed this advice, had they believed the discovery of the cheat? |
5608 | Deny it, Sir? |
5608 | Did they expect to make a King of the dead body, if they could get it into their power? |
5608 | Did they not all converse with the gods, and pretend to deliver oracles? |
5608 | Do they not learn the common maxims of reason this way? |
5608 | Does it not import some suspicion, raise some jealousy, that this case would not bear the publick light? |
5608 | Does not every wise men chuse proper witnesses to his deed and to his will? |
5608 | For what could move Pilate, and the Roman soldiers, to propagate such a cheat? |
5608 | For what is there unnatural or uncommon in this account? |
5608 | For what? |
5608 | For whose sake was he contented to die? |
5608 | For why is this foundation necessary? |
5608 | Gentlemen of the jury, The question before you, is Whether the witnesses of the resurrection of Christ are guilty of giving false evidence, or no? |
5608 | Had Christ any such advantages? |
5608 | Have they not all pretended to inspiration? |
5608 | Have you done, Sir? |
5608 | He was rejected, his commission was determined, and with it the fate of the nation was determined also: what use then of more credentials? |
5608 | Here then is the point, How did this fact gain credit in the world at first? |
5608 | Here then you would question, whether the man had ever been dead? |
5608 | How comes it about, that this evidence, this which is the proper evidence, is given up as insufficient, and a new improper evidence introduced? |
5608 | How did they reckon the days? |
5608 | How then can it be charged as the intention of the gospel to introduce it? |
5608 | I blame not the Gentleman; for what but this can be imagined to give any account of these measures imputed to Christ? |
5608 | I see no reason to enter into the learning about seals: let it be as the Gentleman has opened it; what then? |
5608 | I wish the guards were in court, I would ask them, how they came to be so punctual in relating what happened when they were asleep? |
5608 | I would ask more particularly, Why did not Jesus after his resurrection appear openly to the chief priests and rulers of the Jews? |
5608 | If they appeared like men, upon what ground are we to take them for angels? |
5608 | If this be the case, why does he require more evidence, since none can be sufficient? |
5608 | If three credible man attest a will, which are as many as the law requires, would any body ask, why all the town were not called to set their hands? |
5608 | If you ask him, Why? |
5608 | Is it from these words Touch me not? |
5608 | Is it here affirmed that Thomas did actually put his hand into his side, or so much as see his wounds fresh and bleeding? |
5608 | Is it not surprising, that one great miracle should want an hundred more to prove it? |
5608 | Is it so? |
5608 | Is it your meaning, Sir, that the objections should be stated and argued all together, and that the answer should be to the whole at once? |
5608 | Is there no way for a real body to disappear? |
5608 | It was well, the Gentleman says, for those who had it; but what is that to us, who have it not? |
5608 | Let me now ask, Whether, in this state of things, any farther credentials of Christ''s commission to the Jews could be demanded or expected? |
5608 | Mr. B What say you to that? |
5608 | Must all such pass for innocent sufferers, sincere men? |
5608 | Now, what were the powers received by the apostles? |
5608 | Or did they think, if they had it, they could raise it to life again? |
5608 | Or if it could have done them any, what hope had they to succeed in their attempt? |
5608 | Or, if the wounds were such as destroyed the body before, how could a natural body subsist with them afterwards? |
5608 | Perhaps it is so; and what then? |
5608 | Since his commission related to them in an especial manner, why were not his credentials laid before them? |
5608 | Suppose you were told, that your friend sickened on Friday, was let blood on Saturday, and the third day he died; what day would you think he died on? |
5608 | Tell us therefore upon what account you reject the evidence of their sense before the breaking of the bread, and insist on it afterwards? |
5608 | That he was not alive when you heard him, saw him, felt him, and conversed with him? |
5608 | That led to a debate, How the law finds in such cases? |
5608 | The Jews had a plain law for punishing a false prophet; and what could be a stronger conviction, than such a cheat made manifest? |
5608 | The question is, Whether this was rising the third day, according to the prediction? |
5608 | This is in all such cases but a necessary care; you may place guards, and when you do all is in their power: Et quis custodes custodiat ipsos? |
5608 | This was the first fear that moved him; must not therefore the second now suggested to him be of the same kind? |
5608 | Upon this occasion, the Gentleman asks what sort of witnesses these are? |
5608 | Upon what foot did Pythagoras, Numa, and others set up? |
5608 | Upon what ground could you say this? |
5608 | Very well: Why was he not King then? |
5608 | Was it because they had plainly discovered him to be a cheat and an imposter? |
5608 | Was it not to satisfy himself and his court, that no art had been used to preserve Daniel? |
5608 | Was it so in this case? |
5608 | Was not every blind man restored to sight, and every lame man to his feet, a new witness to the truth reported by the first? |
5608 | Was not every man converted to this faith with the sword at his throat? |
5608 | What could tempt them to it? |
5608 | What does he do then? |
5608 | What general truth is there, the merits of which all the world, or the one hundredth part has examined? |
5608 | What good could the dead body do them? |
5608 | What guard watched Mahomet in his going or returning? |
5608 | What must we say, then? |
5608 | What now do the chief priests do? |
5608 | What now would any reasonable man expect from these circumstances? |
5608 | What say you? |
5608 | What seals and credentials had he? |
5608 | What sufficient number of principles owned by the people did he build on? |
5608 | What then could their hands or eyes inform them of in this case? |
5608 | What will you say to the ancient Persians, and their fire- altars? |
5608 | What''s this? |
5608 | When he was asked afterwards, how he could hold out against all the tortures? |
5608 | Where was the art and cunning then of taking this method? |
5608 | Who shall speak for you? |
5608 | Who were his witnesses? |
5608 | Why else does he imagine these passages to be inconsistent with the reality of Christ''s body? |
5608 | Why might it not be an enthusiasm in the master which occasioned the prediction, and fraud in the servants who put it in execution? |
5608 | Why picking and culling of witnesses in this case more than in any other? |
5608 | Why then was this advantage lost? |
5608 | Why was not this opportunity laid hold on to seize the kingdom, or at least to secure himself from the ignominious death he expected? |
5608 | Why were some witnesses culled and chosen out, and others excluded? |
5608 | Why, what difference do you expect between truth and falsehood? |
5608 | Why? |
5608 | Would he despise such evidence? |
5608 | and does not a good choice of witnesses give strength to every deed? |
5608 | and what other satisfaction could you have had, supposing he had come a day later? |
5608 | and, in general, whether the law ought at all to interpose in controversies of this kind? |
5608 | but what have these words to do with the reality of his body? |
5608 | did he come about, and drop any intimations agreeable to the notions of the people? |
5608 | did they not see what happened? |
5608 | eye- witnesses? |
5608 | eye- witnesses? |
5608 | for whose sake did he contrive this plot of his resurrection? |
5608 | how many instances are there of men''s denying facts plainly proved, asserting facts plainly disproved, even with the rope around their necks? |
5608 | or could prescribe to him a method for performing this great work? |
5608 | or did he seek any such? |
5608 | or whether he thinks the guards were placed to maintain the seal in opposition to the power of God? |
5608 | or would you have the objections argued singly, and answered separately by themselves? |
5608 | what induced them to believe that the body was stolen at all? |
5608 | what punishment it inflicts? |
5608 | what to raise any jealousy or suspicion? |
5608 | what work has he made, what a building he has erected upon the foundation of this nursery- learning? |
5608 | what, that it was stolen by the disciples; since by their own confession they were asleep and say nothing, saw no body? |
5608 | why did he chuse to come after his time, when all witnesses, who had patiently expected the appointed hour, were withdrawn? |
8191 | What is that? |
8191 | Who is that-- what did you do? |
8191 | Why did you kiss me? 8191 _ His death?_"Has not the thought more often before us been to conform to_ His life_? |
8191 | _ His death?_Has not the thought more often before us been to conform to_ His life_? |
8191 | _ My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?_Here is a great mystery. |
8191 | A gentle reproach was certainly implied in the words,"Could ye not watch with Me one hour?" |
8191 | A life of selfish ease, or a life of following the Son of Man? |
8191 | Ah, Colonel, Captain, Sergeant, leaders all, whatever name you bear, do you want to lead and rule the people whom God has given you as a charge? |
8191 | All the powers and qualities of your nature growing towards maturity,_ except the powers of your soul_? |
8191 | Am I wrong when I say that JESUS IS THE COMING KING? |
8191 | And did not both the former come out of the latter? |
8191 | And is it not in this same fashion and for this same purpose that Christ is to be formed in us? |
8191 | And is the Lord a man, that He should be behind us in loving with an everlasting love those who thus give up and deny their own loves for Him? |
8191 | And we who know what it means to be loved of Him, what can we say? |
8191 | And would it not transform many of the darkest stretches of our earthly journey into bright memorials of the infinite wisdom and goodness of our God? |
8191 | Are they not buried with Him? |
8191 | Are they not gone on before? |
8191 | Are they not ours still? |
8191 | Are we found asking the old question about sitting on the twelve thrones, judging those around us, and sharing in some way the royal glory of a King? |
8191 | Are we not theirs as really as ever? |
8191 | Are you a self- denying disciple? |
8191 | Are you appointed to serve in what seems like a den of beasts? |
8191 | Are you chained fast to some strange trial? |
8191 | Are you labouring to be a king without the Divine anointing? |
8191 | Are you made to feel helpless and useless without the support of those around you? |
8191 | Are you seeking thus after reasons for making the wrong done to you appear pardonable? |
8191 | Are you so journeying? |
8191 | Are you striving to be a prophet without possessing the spirit of the prophets? |
8191 | Are you trying to be a priest without the priestly baptism? |
8191 | Are you under the compulsion of some injustice? |
8191 | Are you"bound"in some way? |
8191 | Are_ you_ in either of these classes? |
8191 | At My girdle hang the keys of life and death; I, even I, was dead; yes, really, cruelly dead; but I am alive for evermore"? |
8191 | But how, and in what, are we to grow? |
8191 | But is there not also here a suggestion of something more? |
8191 | But what is this sin, the consciousness of which is thus forced upon all-- this determined, persistent, active evil? |
8191 | But what of His rule? |
8191 | By what agency does He extend His_ authority_ until it becomes_ control_? |
8191 | By what, then, does He rule? |
8191 | Can they give peace when it is too late to undo what sin has done? |
8191 | Can they silence the clamours of the night? |
8191 | Can you ever be again content to remain little and narrow, with interests and affections that are little and narrow also? |
8191 | Can you ever be again the same since you learned that He loved you? |
8191 | Can you say He is thus dwelling in you, and working in you, to will and to do of His good pleasure? |
8191 | Comrade, what are you? |
8191 | Conscious of advance, but not of victory? |
8191 | Dear comrade and friend, are you taking care that the Divine Life in you shall grow after this Christ- like fashion? |
8191 | Dear friend, are you"becoming conformed unto His death"? |
8191 | Did I say that sorrow was the commonest of all human experiences? |
8191 | Did ever babe open eyes on such a topsy- turvy condition of affairs? |
8191 | Did we think it would be otherwise? |
8191 | Did we, do we, sometimes wonder why the road is so rough, and the burden so heavy, and the sky so dark? |
8191 | Do I, then, discourage good works? |
8191 | Do you ever pray?" |
8191 | Do you know any of them? |
8191 | Do you really believe it? |
8191 | Do you think it has strength to hold_ them_? |
8191 | Do you think, then, that He will leave them behind? |
8191 | For what says the Apostle? |
8191 | Has man no part to play in his own deliverance? |
8191 | Has not that been the chief influence which has drawn men to Him, and held them in His service? |
8191 | Has not your freedom in prayer, and your desire for it, wavered between this and that until you have not known what to think of yourself? |
8191 | Has not your joy been often so quickly turned to sorrow that you have wondered how you yourself could be the same person? |
8191 | Have I forgotten that"faith without works is dead"? |
8191 | Have you come to this? |
8191 | Have you, my friend, not had to mourn over some strange changes? |
8191 | His exalted throne? |
8191 | His majesty? |
8191 | His royal lineage? |
8191 | How do they meet remorse? |
8191 | How do they treat with guilt? |
8191 | How is it possible we should ever be conformed to such a wonder of love and power? |
8191 | How much of gloom and shadow has come down on hearts and households I have known, from the persistency of that"Why?" |
8191 | How shall he withstand temptation? |
8191 | How, then, is it with you? |
8191 | If Calvary and the Resurrection reveal His power, does not Bethlehem make manifest His love? |
8191 | Indeed, might we not say of a great deal in us, which to- day is, that to- morrow it will be cast away for ever? |
8191 | Is he, after all, only an animal-- the mere creature of circumstance and natural law? |
8191 | Is it His divine purity, His kingly holiness, His might as the supreme Sovereign whose law is good? |
8191 | Is it for any human thing we seek? |
8191 | Is it not to something of the same kind we are called? |
8191 | Is it ours? |
8191 | Is not that the lesson of His burial for every one who sorrows for the loss of loved ones called up higher? |
8191 | Is there no appeal to you to- day from that hill side, without the city wall? |
8191 | Is there not a lesson here for us, my comrade? |
8191 | Is there not a lesson in her example? |
8191 | Is there not a point for us, also, at which we may pass over the line of uncertainty or reserve in our offering, saying for ever-- it is finished? |
8191 | Is there not something here for us? |
8191 | Is there not something that should answer to this in the lives of many of His disciples? |
8191 | Living, so to speak, out of your element-- like a fish out of water? |
8191 | May I offer one or two thoughts on the subject, which, though quite simple, have proved of blessing to my own heart? |
8191 | Nay, what is it all but to tread in the very steps that the Master trod? |
8191 | Now, when we are called upon to suffer in the same way, may we not be brought into very intimate fellowship with Jesus? |
8191 | Of what use could it be to become an Officer, in order to seek the many, if God did not hearken to her cry for the few? |
8191 | Oh, why should it be? |
8191 | On what is His_ rule_ based? |
8191 | Ought I not to have said_ temptation_? |
8191 | Ought he to offer himself for Officership in The Army? |
8191 | Shall we complain because the servant is not above his Lord? |
8191 | The devotee of your own self? |
8191 | The real question for us then is, Can our religion-- does our religion, when tried by the test of human experience-- afford any remedy for these? |
8191 | The servant of a high ideal, but without_ liberty_? |
8191 | To many, even among the chosen spirits of the household of faith, approaching death also starts the great"_ Why_?" |
8191 | To what does He owe the influence He exercises in the minds and hearts of multitudes of these little ones? |
8191 | To whom, then, did our Lord speak on the tree, and what spake He? |
8191 | V. Are_ you_ dead? |
8191 | Was it His dominion from sea to sea? |
8191 | Was it His sovereign throne of power? |
8191 | Was it even His victory over death and His kingly conquest of the grave? |
8191 | Was it her affair? |
8191 | Was it worth while, after all, troubling about sinners? |
8191 | We are, I know, saved by faith; but how shall we believe unless we hear? |
8191 | What about you? |
8191 | What are they in their actual effect on the memories and consciences of men in relation to their sin? |
8191 | What avail is it to contradict those who can answer,"Hereby we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit"? |
8191 | What do we need? |
8191 | What is it in Jesus Christ that calls the sorely- tempted one to Him? |
8191 | What is the crying agony of our prayers? |
8191 | What is the secret longing of our hearts? |
8191 | What of the thing itself? |
8191 | What special thoughts and beauties of His soul do His words reveal? |
8191 | What was the secret of His influence over them? |
8191 | What, then? |
8191 | Who can think, even now, without a thrill of unmixed delight, of the reunions of those who for long weary years were separated here? |
8191 | Why should she care? |
8191 | Will not you? |
8191 | Will they ever be quite the same? |
8191 | Will they not have lost something? |
8191 | Will you be one? |
8191 | Will you come and join in our great world- mission of making His atonement known? |
8191 | Will you learn of Him? |
8191 | Will_ you_ not have His Cross? |
8191 | With those blessed words of hope and peace in my ears, how can I ever fear that one could be so vile, so far away, so nearly lost, as to cry in vain? |
8191 | Would not this add a whole world of joy to the glory which shall be revealed? |
8191 | You see the lesson? |
8191 | _ Is it not by His compassion_? |
8191 | _ Is it not so_? |
8191 | _ Is it yours_? |
8191 | _ What, then, shall it be that is finished_? |
8191 | and how shall we hear without a preacher? |
8191 | and is there an echo of murmuring at these bonds and infirmities and drudgeries of daily duty and common sorrow? |
8191 | depend upon it, the twentieth century will cry aloud,"_ What shall be done with our sin_?" |
8191 | in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin"? |
30657 | ''I fast twice a week;''''I give tithes of all I possess;''I am a wonderfully good man, am I not, Lord? |
30657 | Are you lost? |
30657 | Did you not honor the draft? |
30657 | Do you not know,replied the Emperor,"that he honors me and my kingdom by making a large draft?" |
30657 | Do you not remember when Mr. Rainsford called to see you, you were very rude to him? 30657 Dost thou remember me,"said the Quaker,"how I had thee fined for swearing?" |
30657 | For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace? |
30657 | Has not God answered your prayer? |
30657 | How many do you want? |
30657 | Indeed,I said,"how is that?" |
30657 | My child,he said,"what are you crying about?" |
30657 | Tell me,said he,"what did that man say to you?" |
30657 | Well, but what do you suppose I would think? |
30657 | Well, did it do thee any good? |
30657 | Well,he says,"if you will give me$ 500, I will be careful about it; but how can I be careful in spending what I have not got?" |
30657 | What do you do when the devil tempts you? |
30657 | Whence to me this tranquil spirit-- Me all sinful as I am? 30657 Where are you, then, if you are neither saved nor lost?" |
30657 | Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? 30657 Why do you say that?" |
30657 | Why, I always thought that if I kept on trying, God would save me at some time; and now you tell me to stop trying: what, then, am I to do? |
30657 | You can not do that: for my treasure is laid up on high, where you can not get at it? |
30657 | And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? |
30657 | And what have we that we can offer to God in return for His free gift of salvation? |
30657 | Are there any thirsty ones here? |
30657 | Are you hungering to get rid of your sinful selves? |
30657 | But you will ask, What is the law given for? |
30657 | Can Christ save him all at once? |
30657 | Can there be hope for me?" |
30657 | Can you conceive of the loving Saviour sending away a poor troubled one who comes to Him? |
30657 | Certainly the attempt to work our way up to heaven is"climbing up some other way,"is it not? |
30657 | Dear friend, do you not need rest? |
30657 | Dear friends, let me put this question to you: Are you full of grace? |
30657 | Did He tell them to go and feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction? |
30657 | Did the Lord ever say anything similar to what the hymn says? |
30657 | Do we thirst for a deeper work of grace in our hearts?--for the anointing of the Spirit? |
30657 | Do you say you are sinners? |
30657 | Do you think Christ would have gone? |
30657 | Do you think God is going to reason with a man whose hands are dripping with blood, and before he asks forgiveness and mercy? |
30657 | Do you think the great God will do less than He commands us to do? |
30657 | Does God intend to mock us, and make game of us? |
30657 | For what? |
30657 | God has given us Christ; and He has given us His Spirit, and His Word: what need is there to wait? |
30657 | God invites you to come and take it: will you come? |
30657 | Have they, ever done their very best? |
30657 | He addressed them and said"Children, have ye any meat?" |
30657 | Hear you now His loving voice? |
30657 | How can we be emptied? |
30657 | How can you work out what you do not possess? |
30657 | How would the Queen feel, if I were to insult her in that way? |
30657 | How would you deal with him? |
30657 | I CAN imagine some one asking: What does that passage mean--"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling?" |
30657 | I am afraid if some of us had been in her place we would have answered somewhat in this fashion:"You call me a Gentile dog, do you? |
30657 | I can imagine they said to each other,"What good is that going to do? |
30657 | I could in that case turn round and say:"Great God, why did you expect me to believe a promise that was not true for me?" |
30657 | I said to a man one day,"Does the well never run dry?" |
30657 | I said to him:"My friend, does the devil never tempt you to doubt God, and to think He is a hard master?" |
30657 | I said to the mother:"How is it with your skepticism now?" |
30657 | I want to ask you this question: If sin needs forgiveness-- and all sin is against God-- how can you work out your own forgiveness? |
30657 | If He could set a table for His people in the wilderness, and feed three millions of Israelites for forty years, can He not give us our daily bread? |
30657 | If I am going to live perhaps for fifteen or twenty years, what do I want with dying grace? |
30657 | If I stole$ 100 from a friend, I could not forgive myself, could I? |
30657 | If I told you, Mr. Moody, that I had found a hymn- book last night you would believe me, would you not? |
30657 | Is He a liar? |
30657 | Is it not a time of need now? |
30657 | Is it the fault of the minister? |
30657 | Is it thus descends the merit Of the sin- atoning Lamb? |
30657 | Is not this our own comment and reflection on life''s retrospect? |
30657 | Is there grace for me?" |
30657 | Is there room for me?" |
30657 | It has been a hard battle, has it not? |
30657 | It is offered to all: who will have it? |
30657 | MR. MOODY-- What is it to be a child of God? |
30657 | Many of you have tried hard to save yourselves; but what has been the end of it all? |
30657 | May I be saved by Him?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--A good place to start in would be the kitchen, would it not? |
30657 | Mr. M.--All the sinner has to do is to repose in the promises of God? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Are there not many who give an intellectual assent to all these things; and who yet have no power, and no divine life? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Believe what? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Can a drunkard or a blasphemer be saved all at once? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Can all these friends here believe the promises? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Can he get that to- day if he repents? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Do we get any help by believing that? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Do you not think there are a good many here who believe that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world; and yet they are not saved? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Does not the Scripture say that the devils believe? |
30657 | Mr. M.--For whom, then, did Christ die? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Has a man the power to believe these things, if he will? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Have these friends the power to believe? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How are they to begin? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How are we"cleansed by_ the Blood?_"Mr. R.--"The blood is the life." |
30657 | Mr. M.--How do you get faith? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How do you get the Holy Ghost? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How do you obtain that? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How long does it take God to justify a sinner? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How may a man know if he has eternal life? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How much is there in Christ for us who believe? |
30657 | Mr. M.--I understand, then, that if a man rejects Christ to- night, he passes judgment on himself as unworthy of eternal life? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If a man is forgiven, will he go out and do the same thing to- morrow? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If a man receives the word of God into his heart, what benefit is it to him, right here to- night? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If any one here wants to please God to- night, how can he do it? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If people say they are"going to try,"what would you say to them? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If the friends here do not come and get this salvation, what will be the true reason? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If they truly come, will they have the desire to do the things they used to do before? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is it available now? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is it not said that if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth,"there remaineth_ no more_ sacrifice for sins?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is salvation within the reach of every man here tonight? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is the Word of God addressed to all here? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is unbelief a sin? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Should a man not break off from some of his sins before he comes to God? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Should not a man repent a good deal before he comes to Christ? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Some say they have no power to overcome a besetting sin? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Suppose a man say he is not"elected?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--Suppose the people do"come,"and that they fall into sin tomorrow? |
30657 | Mr. M.--To whom are we to confess our sins? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Was the blood shed for us all? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What about those people who say their hearts are so hard, and they have no love to Christ? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What do you consider to be the great sin of sins? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What do you mean by the New Birth? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What do you mean by the Word of God? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What do you mean by"coming"to Christ? |

30657 | Mr. M.--What is it to"receive the Kingdom of God like a little child?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is it to"trust?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is meant when we are told that Christ saves"to the uttermost?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is the Gospel? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is the best definition of Faith? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is the meaning of being"saved by the Blood?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is the means by which the New Birth we were speaking of is effected? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is the salvation He comes to proclaim and to bestow? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is there between the sinner and Christ? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is your meetness for heaven? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is your title to heaven? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is"the gift of God?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What reason does the Scripture give tor the Gospel being hid to some? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What would you advise your converts to do? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What would you say to a man who says he has tried a good many times and failed; and who has become discouraged? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What would you say to any one who thinks he has no power to believe? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What, then, should they wait for? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Who is it that judges a man to be unworthy of eternal life? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Why is salvation obtained by faith? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Will Christ crowd out the world if He comes in? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Would you advise people to come to God as they are, with their unfeeling, treacherous, hard hearts-- with any kind of heart? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Would you make a distinction between Christ''s work for us and the Spirit''s work in us? |
30657 | Mr. M.--You mean it is just as powerful to- day as it was eighteen hundred years ago when He shed it? |
30657 | Mr. M.--You would advise them, then, to trust in the Lord, whether they have the right kind of feeling or not? |
30657 | Mr. R.--A gentleman asked me that in the inquiry- room;"What do you mean by the shed Blood?" |
30657 | Mr. R.--Do you remember the story of the woman of Canaan? |
30657 | Mr. R.--How long? |
30657 | Mr. R.--They believe the truth, do they not? |
30657 | My brother, my sister-- are you hungry? |
30657 | No; what do I want with martyr''s grace? |
30657 | Paul said, when he had that famous interview with Christ on the way to Damascus,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
30657 | Paul says to the Galatians:"Is the law then against the promises of God? |
30657 | Rainsford, how can one make room in their heart for Christ? |
30657 | Rainsford.--First, do we really want Christ to be in our hearts? |
30657 | Say"Lord, I come to thee as a poor sinner; wilt Thou not save me and help me?" |
30657 | She held up her hands and exclaimed,"Was that you? |
30657 | Suppose he swears or has a bad temper, should he not get a little control over his temper, or stop swearing, before he comes to Christ? |
30657 | Suppose you wish to get the air out of this tumbler; how can you do it? |
30657 | Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? |
30657 | That is plain language, is it not? |
30657 | The cry of the world is,"Where can rest be found?" |
30657 | The king said,"What are you going to do with such a fanatic as that?" |
30657 | The last time I was in Chicago, I said to him,"Are you still lingering around Sinai?" |
30657 | The law of works? |
30657 | The little fellow said he would not,"Charlie, do you know what that word means?" |
30657 | The question is: Will you let Christ come in and save you? |
30657 | The rest of the class looked on in amazement; and one of them said:"Teacher, you do n''t mean that the watch is his? |
30657 | The river of God''s grace flows on without ceasing; why should we not partake of it, and go on our way rejoicing? |
30657 | Then they asked Him,"What shall we do that we may work the works of God?" |
30657 | Therefore on the cross He cried out,"My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" |
30657 | We have been fishing here all night, and have got nothing? |
30657 | What did Jesus tell them to do? |
30657 | What does this Gentile woman say? |

30657 | What kind of feeling should they have? |
30657 | What says Christ? |
30657 | What will become of me, think you?" |
30657 | What would you say of a man dying of thirst on the banks of a beautiful river, with the stream flowing past his feet? |
30657 | What would you say to such? |
30657 | When a man gets to that point, do you tell me that God can not use him to build up His kingdom? |
30657 | Who will accept it now? |
30657 | Who will come and take it? |
30657 | Who will come? |
30657 | Who will open their hearts, and let the Saviour come in? |
30657 | Who would not feel highly honored if they were invited to some fine residence, to the wedding of one of the members of the President''s family? |
30657 | Why do we not believe Him? |
30657 | Why do we not believe him? |
30657 | Why may I not expect the same when pain and anguish are upon me?" |
30657 | Why not a Demas or a Judas? |
30657 | Why should we go on asking and beseeching God to have mercy upon us, when He has already given His Son, and given His Holy Spirit? |
30657 | Why should we go reeling and staggering under the burdens and cares of life when we have such prospects before us? |
30657 | Why, this woman and her boys have been carrying vessels into the house all day; what can be the matter? |
30657 | Will God reason with a man living in rebellion against Him? |
30657 | Will you let Him? |
30657 | Will you let him do it? |
30657 | Would not the same thing move the heart of any parent here? |
30657 | Would you advise any one who wants to become a Christian to start right here by confessing Christ with the mouth? |
30657 | Would you insult the Almighty by offering Him the fruits of this frail body to atone for sin? |
30657 | Would you not show him the document signed in the name of the President? |
30657 | Would you not take him to your bosom and forgive him? |
30657 | Yet the moment he said,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
30657 | You do n''t mean that he has n''t to give it back to you?" |
30657 | You say you are not fit to come? |
30657 | are you not longing to see your children won to Christ? |
30657 | granting that there_ might_ be a chance for them if they had, was there ever a time when they could not have done a little better? |
30657 | has Abraham Lincoln pardoned me? |
30657 | what did he mean? |
30657 | why shouldst thou wander From such a loving Friend? |
7786 | ''What''s that?'' 7786 But if it should rain?" |
7786 | How do you know? |
7786 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? |
7786 | Is it dark without you, darker still within? 7786 What is it? |
7786 | What is there then? |
7786 | What meanest thou, O sleeper? 7786 11] What does an abundant entrance mean? 7786 1] The victory is sure, but whose victory? 7786 6] What will be the result of their preaching? 7786 A little girl named Molly said to her aunt who was teaching her about Jesus,How can I be sure that my sins are forgiven?" |
7786 | A very long time ago the question was asked,"Canst thou by searching find out God?" |
7786 | A young man whom I know described it as follows:"I heard the voice of God saying to me,''Who told thee that thou wast naked?'' |
7786 | And I fell to the ground and I heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
7786 | Are we preparing for it? |
7786 | Are you asking, What must I do? |
7786 | Are you constantly thinking to yourself, Can God? |
7786 | Are you living in the reality of it? |
7786 | Are you longing to find God? |
7786 | Are you not surprised that none of these men ever thought of finding out the real value of that pearl? |
7786 | Are you quite sure?" |
7786 | Are you saying,"My soul thirsteth for God, for the Living God"? |
7786 | But is it not stranger still that scarcely any one ever stops to inquire who Jesus Christ really is, and the meaning of His death on the Cross? |
7786 | But what if God''s heart_ was_ broken? |
7786 | But_ why_ did He show them the wounds in His hands and side? |
7786 | By and by you will have to face another question,"What will He do with me?" |
7786 | Can you reply,"This is my Beloved Saviour and He is everything to me"? |
7786 | Can you say the same? |
7786 | Can you say,"God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into my heart,"and now I can call Him my Father? |
7786 | Can you say,"He is the Son of God"? |
7786 | Can you say,"Thy Word hath quickened me"? |
7786 | Can you say--"O GOD, THOU ART MY GOD"? |
7786 | Can you think of any other as wonderful? |
7786 | Did God fail him? |
7786 | Did you ever hear about Moody''s torch? |
7786 | Do the children speak of it as"Mother''s book"? |
7786 | Do we make it a habit to be constantly referring to God about everything? |
7786 | Do we not read in the 69th Psalm,"Reproach hath broken my heart? |
7786 | Do you ask Where? |
7786 | Do you believe in God? |
7786 | Do you ever doubt God''s love? |
7786 | Do you ever doubt His wisdom and think you might have been treated better? |
7786 | Do you feel anxious to know whether you will have a share in the glory? |
7786 | Do you feel that you are like a lost sheep? |
7786 | Do you find your faith failing sometimes? |
7786 | Do you judge things from His standpoint? |
7786 | Do you keep your Bible where you can take it up whenever you have a few spare moments? |
7786 | Do you know? |
7786 | Do you offer Him your heart''s devotion and praise, or is it only lip- worship? |
7786 | Do you turn to it for strength and comfort? |
7786 | Do you value it? |
7786 | Does it all seem too good to be true? |
7786 | Does not this simple testimony teach us all a lesson? |
7786 | Does the child need the mother''s constant, watchful care? |
7786 | First, What think ye of Christ, whose Son is He? |
7786 | First, where did He come from? |
7786 | God is now willing; are you willing? |
7786 | God is still saying,"Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?" |
7786 | God knows just what you are and what you have been, and He Himself has asked the question,"How shall I put you among the children?" |
7786 | Had you any idea that there are as many as five thousand precious promises for the believer in God''s Word? |
7786 | Has your name been entered in the Book of Life? |
7786 | Have we ever felt this need of drinking into that One Spirit? |
7786 | Have we learnt to depend only on the Power of the Holy Ghost? |
7786 | Have you claimed them? |
7786 | Have you ever asked whether there has been a beginning of His life_ in your heart_? |
7786 | Have you ever been conscious of the Presence of the living God? |
7786 | Have you ever grasped that truth? |
7786 | Have you ever put your weak hand into God''s strong loving Hand so as to let Him do the holding up? |
7786 | Have you ever thanked Him for the unspeakable gift of His dear Son? |
7786 | Have you ever tried to understand why the Church is called"the Body of Christ"? |
7786 | Have you ever watched the battleships on a dark night, anchored a little way off from the coast? |
7786 | Have you received Him? |
7786 | Have you received them? |
7786 | He spoke openly of His Kingdom to Pilate, for when Pilate asked Him,"Art Thou a King then?" |
7786 | Holding it up in his fingers, he looked round and asked,"Will any one give me a penny for it?" |
7786 | How can we know that the Bible is the Word of God? |
7786 | How can you and I know what the Lord Jesus found in His Father''s love? |
7786 | How did this love of God show itself? |
7786 | How do we know this? |
7786 | How does God commend His love? |
7786 | How does God speak to us now? |
7786 | How does He do it? |
7786 | How does the Holy Spirit prepare our hearts? |
7786 | How is it that you say your prayers and yet you do not expect to get an answer direct from God? |
7786 | How many does it number now? |
7786 | How was it done? |
7786 | How was it started? |
7786 | How? |
7786 | How? |
7786 | How? |
7786 | I said,''What do you want me for?'' |
7786 | If not, why not? |
7786 | If not, why not? |
7786 | If so, what for, and for how much? |
7786 | Is Christianity a failure? |
7786 | Is God''s presence so real to you that it makes you control your temper and keeps you from saying unkind things? |
7786 | Is He real to you? |
7786 | Is He so close to you that it is like speaking into His ear? |
7786 | Is His compassion for sinners beaming in your eye? |
7786 | Is His purity seen in your daily life? |
7786 | Is it a_ living_ book to you? |
7786 | Is it grace you need for some special trial? |
7786 | Is it only what you read about, or is it a personal experience in your soul? |
7786 | Is it precious to you? |
7786 | Is it ready at hand so that you can read it before you go to bed at night? |
7786 | Is it so with you? |
7786 | Is it trusting God, or is it doubting God? |
7786 | Is it victory over temptation you long for? |
7786 | Is the link on? |
7786 | Is there this link between you and God? |
7786 | Is this searching necessary for every one? |
7786 | Is this true of you? |
7786 | Is this your happy portion? |
7786 | Jesus said to Nathaniel,"Because I said unto thee I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? |
7786 | Let me ask you one more question, Has God''s Voice ever stopped calling? |
7786 | My heart fell broken at His feet, Who could such love withstand? |
7786 | Now, therefore, why speak ye not a word of bringing the King back? |
7786 | Only a touch-- is it not like the touch of faith? |
7786 | Perhaps you ask me,"Who is God?" |
7786 | Perhaps you ask, Will God really come and dwell in me for I am so unworthy? |
7786 | Perhaps you ask,"How can I know?" |
7786 | Perhaps you wonder, how can the death of One atone for the sin of the many? |
7786 | Secondly, When did He come? |
7786 | Still God is looking for His friend and calling him,"Where are you?" |
7786 | THE SON OF GOD IS COME_ Where_ did He come from? |
7786 | The LORD said,"Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?" |
7786 | The fountain is still flowing-- has it cleansed you? |
7786 | The great question for each one in life is, What is my relation to God? |
7786 | The great question is, What is God to me? |
7786 | The other question which you have to answer is,"What shall I do with Jesus?" |
7786 | The question is sometimes asked, Has the Gospel lost its power? |
7786 | The question was once asked at a meeting,"Can you point to any text in the Word of God which makes you sure you are saved and safe?" |
7786 | The question was raised,"Who was to rule, Satan or God?" |
7786 | The sheep knows the shepherd''s voice; the child is quick in recognizing its mother''s voice; why do we turn a deaf ear to God''s Voice? |
7786 | Think of the cost of this great salvation, and then ask yourself, how much is it worth to me? |
7786 | Thirdly, Why did He come? |
7786 | Trusting or worrying? |
7786 | Unbelief asks,"_ Can He?_"Faith says,"_ He can._"Dear friends, let me ask you to stop and ask yourself, Where do you put that little word"can"? |
7786 | Unbelief asks,"_ Can He?_"Faith says,"_ He can._"Dear friends, let me ask you to stop and ask yourself, Where do you put that little word"can"? |
7786 | Was Christ going into the cave? |
7786 | Was it not wonderful that she was the first to tell the good news that He is"the Saviour of the world"? |
7786 | We have heard how the sun shines over the whole world, but is it not wonderful that every little drop of water can reflect the whole of its light? |
7786 | We limit God''s power to save, by asking,_ Can_ God? |
7786 | We listen to the good news about peace and forgiveness, but are we willing to make Jesus King in our hearts? |
7786 | We look on and on into the Eternity that is coming( and it is a wonderful outlook) and what do we find? |
7786 | What answer will you give? |
7786 | What did Jesus do? |
7786 | What has been going on during all these years? |
7786 | What is His Name? |
7786 | What is faith? |
7786 | What is friendship? |
7786 | What is righteousness? |
7786 | What is the Church? |
7786 | What is the natural man? |
7786 | What is this new experience, this seeking after God? |
7786 | What is this personal experience of the life of Christ in the soul? |
7786 | What shall we say? |
7786 | What was it that changed this man? |
7786 | What was the price to be paid? |
7786 | What will be the final winding up of Earth''s suffering and struggles? |
7786 | What will it all be like? |
7786 | When Blondin came down he went up to the lad and said to him,"You saw me carry that big man across, do you believe I could take you?" |
7786 | When did He come? |
7786 | When did He come? |
7786 | When did this special"_ calling out_"begin? |
7786 | When was the beginning? |
7786 | When you pray do you realise His Presence? |
7786 | When you speak to God, is it an effort, or do you look up into His face with confidence and tell Him all? |
7786 | When your child wants you to hold him up he slips his little hand in yours, does n''t he? |
7786 | When? |
7786 | Where is the Bible? |
7786 | Where were they wounded? |
7786 | Where? |
7786 | Which are you doing, dear friends? |
7786 | Who can inspire them with faith and hope? |
7786 | Who can point them to the Rock of Ages which can not be moved? |
7786 | Who can speak a word of cheer and encouragement? |
7786 | Who can tell how precious? |
7786 | Who can tell the good news so well as these restored and converted ones? |
7786 | Who is the Word? |
7786 | Who is this Some One? |
7786 | Who will be the preachers? |
7786 | Why did He call to the crowds so earnestly to repent? |
7786 | Why did He die? |
7786 | Why did He show them the nail prints in His hands and the deep wound in His side? |
7786 | Why did you give up listening? |
7786 | Why does He invite the weary ones to come to Him? |
7786 | Why has this Gospel been written? |
7786 | Why is the Bible like no other book? |
7786 | Why is there so much unrest, so much ungodliness, and lawlessness in our midst? |
7786 | Why was His blood poured out? |
7786 | Why? |
7786 | Why? |
7786 | Why? |
7786 | Will you ask yourself, Have I received Him? |
7786 | Will you say it now very solemnly in your heart to God? |
7786 | Would you neglect getting these priceless gifts if you believed they were the real offers of a real Person? |
7786 | Yea, they spake against God, they said,"Can God furnish a table in the wilderness; can God give bread also; can He provide flesh for His people?" |
7786 | You first put the speaking tube to your mouth and then you say"Are you there?" |
7786 | You have prayed many years perhaps for the conversion of some one near and dear to you, but are you limiting God because you doubt His power to do it? |
7786 | _ When_ did He come? |
7786 | _ Why_ did He come? |
7786 | you say, but I am so far off, how can I find my way to Him? |
11044 | Again, in what manner are they there, since I look for them a long while in vain? |
11044 | And that of the hinder part of the head than that of the forehead? |
11044 | And why do they build a whole system of philosophy upon the precarious foundation of a ridiculous fiction? |
11044 | And, on the other hand, what is more firm and durable? |
11044 | As, for instance, how harder is the skin of the feet than that of the face? |
11044 | Ask him which of them he set a- going, and which way he begun to move them? |
11044 | But have we a mind to confine it to a more moderate use? |
11044 | But how comes it to pass it neither knows what she does, nor in what manner it performs it? |
11044 | But how comes it to pass that a body can move another? |
11044 | But how comes it to pass that, among so many bodies, it has that power over no more than one? |
11044 | But how could the First Being make a creature who is himself the umpire of his own actions? |
11044 | But how is he free? |
11044 | But how is it possible for the course of the sun to be so regular? |
11044 | But how is it possible he should be so wise and so infallible in some things? |
11044 | But how many other objects are there in every object discovered by the microscope which the microscope itself can not discover? |
11044 | But now, how comes it to pass that beings so unlike are so intimately united together in man? |
11044 | But upon what authority do they suppose this declination of atoms, which comes so pat to bear up their system? |
11044 | But what are the weak and puny designs of men, if compared to that of the creation and government of the universe? |
11044 | But what comparison can be made between the best book and the brain of a learned man? |
11044 | But what does that almost innumerable multitude of stars mean? |
11044 | But what invisible power raises and lays so suddenly the storms of that great fluid body, of which those of the sea are only consequences? |
11044 | But what must we infer from them? |
11044 | But where are those laws of motion written and recorded? |
11044 | But where is it we look for but within us? |
11044 | But which way can I know any real unit? |
11044 | But who can forbear admiring the nature of the bones? |
11044 | But who is it that has laid up so many treasures in her bosom, upon condition that they should continually produce themselves anew? |
11044 | But why should it appear less ridiculous to hear one say that the world made itself, as well as that fabulous house? |
11044 | But, then, where lie objects half- forgotten? |
11044 | Can I imagine that God gives me the lesser good, and that I give myself the greater without Him? |
11044 | Can a stinted limited being imagine and invent the infinite, if there be no infinite at all? |
11044 | Can any but a power superior both to bodies and spirits keep them together in this union with so absolute a sway? |
11044 | Can one imagine measures better concerted to render all countries fertile and fruitful? |
11044 | Can the proof of our religion be more evident and convincing? |
11044 | Could he be induced to believe that the springs of that watch had formed, proportioned, ranged, and united themselves, by mere chance? |
11044 | Did it give itself so sublime, and so pure an idea, which is itself a kind of infinite in imagery? |
11044 | Do they find this perfection in the idea they have of every atom in particular? |
11044 | Do we conclude that a piece of painting is made by chance when we see in it either shades, or even some careless touches? |
11044 | Do you consider that excellent order and proportion of the limbs? |
11044 | Do you see that fire that seems kindled in the stars, and spreads its light on all sides? |
11044 | Do you see that flame which certain mountains vomit up, and which the earth feeds with sulphur within its entrails? |
11044 | Do you see those clouds that fly, as it were, on the wings of the winds? |
11044 | Do you see those vast forests that seem as old as the world? |
11044 | Do you see what is called air? |
11044 | Does it follow from thence that motion is essential to every particle of matter? |
11044 | Does it not circulate about us on purpose to serve us? |
11044 | Does it proceed from nothing? |
11044 | For what can an instinct more just, exact, precise, and certain than reason itself mean but a more perfect reason? |
11044 | For what is more supple for all various motions? |
11044 | Has chance, by a concourse of atoms, hooked together the parts of the body with the mind? |
11044 | Has he a mind to bow or turn his head? |
11044 | Have they the assurance to bestow the name of philosophy upon a rash fiction which takes for granted what they never can make out? |
11044 | How can the faithful images of all the objects of the universe, from the sun to an atom, range themselves distinctly in so small an organ? |
11044 | How was I able to know beings that have by nature no relation with my thinking being? |
11044 | I do not pretend to penetrate through the whole; who is able to do it? |
11044 | I will only ask you now wherein that precise ranging and configuration of parts, which you speak of, consists? |
11044 | If he does, will he be able either to understand what he means, or to make it understood by others? |
11044 | If it be a solid vault, what architect built it? |
11044 | If the mind and body are a whole made up of matter only, how comes it to pass that this matter, which yesterday did not, has this day begun to think? |
11044 | In a word, who is it that has found all the combinations wherein matter thinks, and without the least of which matter must immediately cease to think? |
11044 | Is it in the animal himself? |
11044 | Is it not manifest that the clinamen can no more account for it than the straight line itself? |
11044 | Is it not the very God I look for? |
11044 | Is my brain a book, all the characters of which have ranged themselves of their own accord? |
11044 | Is that stone free in its fall? |
11044 | Is there no more to do than to suppose whatever one pleases in order to elude the most simple and most constant truths? |
11044 | It is an incomprehensible mixture of low and great; of frailty in the matter, and of art in the maker? |
11044 | Moreover, which way do I know whether this thinking soul is really one, or whether it has parts? |
11044 | Must a man bear a heavy burden on his head? |
11044 | Must we suppose, besides, that atoms have motion of themselves? |
11044 | Now I would fain know whence comes that art, which is none of theirs? |
11044 | Now how come I by that knowledge? |
11044 | Now what being was able to stamp within us the image of the infinite, if the infinite never existed? |
11044 | Now what skilful hand has laid up in that kind of dirt, which appears so shapeless, such precious images, ranged with such excellent and curious art? |
11044 | Now who maintains so just a measure as never either to extinguish those different species, or never to suffer them to multiply too fast? |
11044 | Now whose hand tied and subjected to the organs of this corporeal machine that incorporeal being which must necessarily be in me united to my body? |
11044 | Now, I ask what mover gave motion to that first atom, and first set the great machine of the universe a- going? |
11044 | Now, again, who makes it know bodies so different from it? |
11044 | Now, do these images, more like their original than the masterpieces of the art of painting, imprint themselves in my head without any art? |
11044 | Now, does not this division, which I find within myself, show and denote a kind of multiplicity and composition of parts? |
11044 | Now, how came I by so incorporeal an idea of bodies themselves? |
11044 | Now, once more, whence comes so great an image? |
11044 | Now, shall we affirm that the decisive stroke that determines to the greater good either is not at all, or is less owing to Him? |
11044 | Now, to whom shall we ascribe this infallible skill? |
11044 | Now, what advantage will these philosophers draw from all I have granted them, contrary to all evidence? |
11044 | Now, what authority have they to suppose, without proofs, that atoms have in themselves a perfect, eternal, and immutable being? |
11044 | Now, what is it that keeps that flame, so restless and so impetuous, within the exact bounds of a perfect globe? |
11044 | Now, whence comes that idea of the infinite in us? |
11044 | Now, whence proceeds such an invincible averseness to that opinion in so many men of sense? |
11044 | Now, whence proceeds this augmentation and improvement of myself? |
11044 | Now, who is it that contrived such a suspension? |
11044 | Now, who is it that determined which way the straight line should go? |
11044 | Now, who is it that gave over one body the power it had over no other? |
11044 | Now, who is it that has so well regulated the size of man to so just a standard? |
11044 | Now, who is it that has united it to my body? |
11044 | Now, who is it that knew how to pitch upon that precise degree of motion? |
11044 | Now, who is it that pitched upon either of these two laws equally possible? |
11044 | Now, who is it that put the idea of the infinite, that is to say of perfection, in a subject so stinted and so full of imperfection? |
11044 | Now, who is it that united my will to this body, and gave it so much power over it? |
11044 | Now, will anybody say that an essential and immutable law of the local motion of atoms explains and accounts for the true liberty of man? |
11044 | Now, will anybody say that it is in so invisible, and so impenetrable, a thing that I clearly see what unity is? |
11044 | O Fair Day, without either cloud or end, of which Thyself shalt be the sun, and wherein Thou shalt run through my soul like a torrent of delight? |
11044 | Once more, how come I by so just a notion of numbers? |
11044 | Once more, is it in the idea these philosophers have of each atom that they find this perfection? |
11044 | One should show to such a reasoner all the parts of the house, and tell him for instance:--Do you see this great court- gate? |
11044 | Or what is it we look for but ourselves? |
11044 | Shall I ascribe it to my feeble mind, or rather to the power it has over my body, which is so vastly different from it? |
11044 | Shall I believe that my will has that supreme command of its own nature, though in itself so weak and imperfect? |
11044 | Shall I say that other spirits, much like or equal to mine, give it me? |
11044 | Shall we say that animals are more rational than we? |
11044 | Shall we suppose it out of gaiety to give an air of reality to a system more chimerical than the tales of the fairies? |
11044 | Should I have it from nothing, which is all my own stock? |
11044 | Should we maintain that the bow formed without art should be pushed by the wind to touch every string so variously, and with such nice justness? |
11044 | Sure it must be somewhere, otherwise how could it imprint itself in our minds? |
11044 | The blindness is man''s; but the power, whose is it? |
11044 | Therefore, from whence shall we derive that distinct image which is unlike anything within us, and all we know here below, without us? |
11044 | Therefore, how came I by so distinct an idea of numbers, which I never could either feel or imagine? |
11044 | To the work, or its Artificer? |
11044 | To whom shall we ascribe it, unless it be to Him who sees what man does not see, and performs in him what passes his understanding? |
11044 | Upon this pleasing hope my bones shiver, and cry out:--"Who is like Thee, O Lord? |
11044 | Was there ever a more absurd metamorphosis? |
11044 | What a stupendous variety of admirable objects is here? |
11044 | What authority have they to suppose that all bodies incessantly move, either sensibly or insensibly? |
11044 | What becomes of them? |
11044 | What bestows thought upon it, has it not itself, and how can it give what it has not? |
11044 | What can they find in the clinamen that, with any colour, can account for the liberty of man? |
11044 | What do I behold in all Nature? |
11044 | What does the regular succession of day and night denote? |
11044 | What finite being distinct from it was able to give it what bears no proportion with what is limited within any bounds? |
11044 | What hand had the skill to unite and tie together these two extremes and opposites? |
11044 | What hand leads that flame in so strait a way and never suffers it to slip one side or other? |
11044 | What hand takes care never to let them fall but in moderate showers? |
11044 | What hand was able to hang over our heads those great reservatories of waters? |
11044 | What is more admirable than the multiplication of animals? |
11044 | What is more noble than a machine which continually repairs and renews itself? |
11044 | What is the reason that a ball which a man causes to roll on a smooth table( billiards, for the purpose) can not touch another without moving it? |
11044 | What is the reason that a great body carries off a little one? |
11044 | What must we infer from thence? |
11044 | What pair of compasses, whose circumference encircles both heaven and earth, has fixed such just dimensions? |
11044 | What power has built over our heads so vast and so magnificent an arch? |
11044 | What rational man could seriously entertain a doubt whether a human hand touched such an instrument with so much harmony? |
11044 | What should not we see if we could still subtilise and improve more and more the instruments that help out weak and dull sight? |
11044 | What then is this dependent liberty? |
11044 | What then must be a design so extensive, so coherent, so excellent, so beneficial? |
11044 | What thoughts could a man entertain of such a fantastic philosopher, if he should persist seriously to assert that such a house displays no art? |
11044 | What would a man think of a watch that should fly or slip away, turn, again, or defend itself, for its own preservation, if he went about to break it? |
11044 | When I see a stone that appears motionless, how will they prove to me that there is no atom in that stone but what is actually in motion? |
11044 | When will that time be, O Lord? |
11044 | Whence comes it that certain motions of the body so suddenly and so infallibly raise certain thoughts in the soul? |
11044 | Whence comes it that the thoughts of the soul, so suddenly and so infallibly, occasion certain motions in the body? |
11044 | Whence comes this, as it were, arbitrary government of motion over all bodies? |
11044 | Whence does it proceed? |
11044 | Whence proceeds so regular a society, for seventy or fourscore years, without any interruption? |
11044 | Whence proceeds the government of that universal machine which incessantly works for us without so much as our thinking upon it? |
11044 | Where is it? |
11044 | Where is that lively light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world? |
11044 | Where is that oracle, which is never silent, and against which all the vain prejudices of men can not prevail? |
11044 | Where is that perfect reason which is so near me, and yet so different from me? |
11044 | Where is that reason which we have ever occasion to consult, and which prevents us to create in us the desire of hearing its voice? |
11044 | Where is that reason, at once both common and superior to all limited and imperfect reasons of mankind? |
11044 | Where is that supreme reason? |
11044 | Where is that wisdom? |
11044 | Where is the artificer that ties and unites natures so vastly different? |
11044 | Whither is it going? |
11044 | Who both made them and rendered them so inviolable? |
11044 | Who can entertain such a thought? |
11044 | Who can put in a looking- glass the image of a chimerical object which is not in being, and which was never placed against the glass? |
11044 | Who gives it so great a command over a certain body; and who gives reciprocally to that body so great a command over the soul? |
11044 | Who has made the experiment of it? |
11044 | Who has taught it incessantly and so regularly to turn in a space where it is free and unconstrained? |
11044 | Who is it that can enlarge and perfect my being by making me better, and, consequently, greater than I was? |
11044 | Who is it that has bestowed upon it what it had not, and which is without comparison more noble than thoughtless matter? |
11044 | Who is it that has discovered the line in which the parts ought to move? |
11044 | Who is it that has fixed so many great luminous bodies to certain places of that arch and at certain distances? |
11044 | Who is it that has fixed that of other animals and living creatures, with proportion to that of man? |
11044 | Who is it that has regulated the outward form by which all those bodies are to be stinted? |
11044 | Who is it that has so nicely purified that air we breathe? |
11044 | Who is it that hung and poised this motionless globe of the earth? |
11044 | Who is it that knew how to take such exact measures in immense bodies? |

11044 | Who is it that knew so well how to keep a just medium between too much and too little? |
11044 | Who is it that makes it withdraw, and then come back with so much regularity? |
11044 | Who is it that makes that vault turn so regularly about us? |
11044 | Who is it that so well chose the operations that ought to continue; and, with so just discernment, excluded all such as ought to be interrupted? |
11044 | Who is it that, in an instant, imprints in my eye the heaven, the sea, and the earth, seated at almost an infinite distance? |
11044 | Who laid its foundation? |
11044 | Who were able to explain the niceness of the organs by which man discerns the numberless savours and odours of bodies? |
11044 | Why was it not possible that motion should not ever communicate itself from one body to another? |
11044 | Will a fluid body range in such constant and regular order bodies that swim circularly within its sphere? |
11044 | Will any man be again so bold as to ascribe this to chance? |
11044 | Will any man say it was chance? |
11044 | Will he allow them to make use of reason in those motions, wherein it is certain man does not? |
11044 | Will he say that they naturally understand the mathematics which men are ignorant of? |
11044 | Will they ever impose upon me bare suppositions, without any semblance of truth, for decisive proofs? |
11044 | Would he not admire the skill of the artificer? |
11044 | Would he not cry out,"It is a masterly hand that plays upon it?" |
11044 | how is it possible for a man to conceive a free- will, that is given by a First Being? |
40967 | Art thou a King then? |
40967 | Art thou the King of the Jews? |
40967 | Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? 40967 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? |
40967 | Was it Celestine, Diocletian, or Esau? 40967 What accusation bring ye against this man?" |
40967 | What is truth? |
40967 | [ 104] Maddened by the relentless importunity of the mob, Pilate replied scornfully and mockingly:Shall I crucify your king?" |
40967 | [ 48] But why a crime? 40967 [ 99]"Barabbas, or Jesus which is called the Christ?" |
40967 | ''Is there any likelihood,''say they,''that Pilate should write such things to Tiberius concerning a man whom he had condemned to death? |
40967 | A. Adeone me delirare censes, ut ista esse credam? |
40967 | AUDITOR: Do you think I''m such a fool as to give credence to such things? |
40967 | AUDITOR: Why? |
40967 | Addressing Jesus, Pilate said:"Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee and have power to release thee? |
40967 | Addressing the prisoner, Pilate asked:"Art thou the King of the Jews?" |
40967 | Admitting that Jesus acknowledged the jurisdiction of Herod, was He compelled to answer irrelevant and impertinent questions? |
40967 | Admitting that this is true, is anything proved by the fact? |
40967 | Again, what Roman law was applicable to the charges made against Jesus to Pilate? |
40967 | Again, what charges were brought against Jesus at the hearing before Pilate? |
40967 | Alexander, Cæsar, Charlemagne, and myself founded great empires; but upon what did the creations of our genius depend? |
40967 | And Annas and Caiaphas said: Why are you so much moved? |
40967 | And Dysmas answering reproved him, saying: Dost thou not fear God, because thou art in the same condemnation? |
40967 | And I said to him, Who art thou, my lord? |
40967 | And Joseph said: Why have you called me? |
40967 | And Nicodemus says to them: How have you come into the synagogue? |
40967 | And Pilate says to the Jews: Do you not wonder how the tops of the standards were bent down and adored Jesus? |
40967 | And Pilate says to them: For what reason do they wish to put him to death? |
40967 | And Pilate sent for the Jews and said to them: Have you seen what has happened? |
40967 | And Pilate went again into the Pretorium and spoke to Jesus privately, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews? |
40967 | And Pilate, calling Annas and Caiaphas, says to them: What are proselytes? |
40967 | And Pilate, having called the runner, says to him: Why hast thou done this, and spread out thy cloak upon the earth and made Jesus walk upon it? |
40967 | And Pilate, having called them, says: Tell me how I, being a procurator, can try a king? |
40967 | And Pilate, having summoned Jesus, says to him: What do these witness against thee? |
40967 | And are we to imagine that they referred with such emphasis as they employed to the mere creations of their fancy? |
40967 | And first they call Adas and say to him: How didst thou see Jesus taken up? |
40967 | And if he had proposed it, who can make a doubt that the senate would not have immediately complied? |
40967 | And likewise Joseph also stepped out and said to them: Why are you angry against me because I begged the body of Jesus? |
40967 | And on the Sabbath our teachers and the priests and Levites sat questioning each other and saying: What is this wrath that has come upon us? |
40967 | And the Jews answering, say unto Pilate: Did we not tell thee that he was a sorcerer? |
40967 | And the Jews, noticing this and hearing it, say to Pilate: What more wilt thou hear of this blasphemy? |
40967 | And the Jews, seeing what the runner had done, cried out against Pilate, saying: Why hast thou ordered him to come in by a runner, and not by a crier? |
40967 | And the children of the prophets met him and said, O Elissæus, where is thy master Helias? |
40967 | And the elders of the Jews answered, and said to Jesus: What shall we see? |
40967 | And the procurator ordered the Jews to go outside of the Pretorium; and, summoning Jesus, he says to him: What shall I do to thee? |
40967 | And the procurator trembled, and said to all the multitude of the Jews: Why do you wish to pour out innocent blood? |
40967 | And the procurator, having called the standard bearers, says to them: Why have you done this? |
40967 | And they again said to them: Why have you come? |
40967 | And they asked him, and he said to them: Why have you not believed my son? |
40967 | And they call Phinees, the priest, and ask him also, saying: How didst thou see Jesus taken up? |
40967 | And they said to Elissæus, Has not a spirit seized him, and thrown him upon one of the mountains? |
40967 | Are not all these more than sufficient to condemn Him in their eyes and prove Him worthy of death? |
40967 | Are not these things sufficient to bring down upon him their condemnation? |
40967 | Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? |
40967 | But others have appeared in it; would it not be possible to produce them also before history? |
40967 | But there are no Cæsars, no Napoleons, no Shakespeares, no Aristotles among them, you say? |
40967 | But they of two things chose the one; and who knows but that they chose the better? |
40967 | But was Pilate alone guilty of the crime of the crucifixion? |
40967 | But were they always a mere money- changing, money- getting, money- hoarding race? |
40967 | But who was this Herod before whom Jesus now appeared in chains? |
40967 | But why was Jesus sent to Herod? |
40967 | CHAPTER III POWERS AND DUTIES OF PILATE What were the powers and duties of Pilate as procurator of Judea? |
40967 | Can a more favorable verdict be expected of the members of the second chamber, composed as it was of men so conceited and arrogant? |
40967 | Can we, then, be astonished at the murderous hatred which these false and ambitious men conceived for Christ? |
40967 | Cocyti fremitus? |
40967 | Could impartiality be expected of those proud and selfish men, whose lips delighted in nothing so much as sounding their own praises? |
40967 | Could not Jesus, reasoned Pilate, be the son of the Hebrew Jehovah as Hercules was the son of Jupiter? |
40967 | Did Pilate apply Hebrew or Roman law to the charges presented to him against the Christ? |
40967 | Did Pilate apply these laws either in letter or in spirit? |
40967 | Did he imitate this model? |
40967 | Did he observe these rules and regulations? |
40967 | Did not the reception of his miracles and his triumphal entry into Jerusalem indicate His popularity with the plain people? |
40967 | Did the general laws of Roman provincial administration apply to this province? |
40967 | For how, thought Pilate, can He pretend to have a Kingdom, unless He pretends to be a king? |
40967 | For what else are your ensigns, flags, and standards, but crosses, gilt and beautiful? |
40967 | From out the anguish of his soul, the voice of Justice sends to his quivering lips the thrice- repeated question:"Why, what evil hath he done?" |
40967 | Has the emperor not appointed him to this place of dignity? |
40967 | Having decided that there were two trials, we are now ready to consider the questions: Were the two trials separate and independent? |
40967 | His first recorded words are:"What accusation bring ye against this man?" |
40967 | How did it happen that a sacrifice to Apollo gave favorable, and one to Diana unfavorable signs? |
40967 | If colossal forms of intellect and soul be invoked, does not the Jew still lead the universe? |
40967 | If not legally, was Pilate politically justified in delivering Jesus to be crucified? |
40967 | If not, is it rational to suppose that their innocent descendants have been the victims of this curse? |
40967 | If not, was the second trial a mere review of the first, or was the first a mere preliminary to the second? |
40967 | If not, was the second trial a mere review of the first, or was the first a mere preliminary to the second? |
40967 | If so, why were there two trials instead of one? |
40967 | In a cynical and sarcastic mood, Pilate turned to Jesus and asked:"What is truth? |
40967 | In the first place, were there two distinct trials of Jesus? |
40967 | Is anybody so keenly discerning as to see in Irish dispersion a divine or superhuman agency? |
40967 | Is it any wonder that the tragedy of the Prætorium and Golgotha, aside from its sacred aspects, is the most notable event in history? |
40967 | Is it not reasonably certain that a large majority of the countrymen of Jesus were his ardent well- wishers and sincerely regretted his untimely end? |
40967 | Is it not true that the Jewish people, as a race, were not parties to the condemnation and execution of the Christ? |
40967 | Is it possible to conceive that these friends and well- wishers were the inheritors of the curse of Heaven because of the crime of Golgotha? |
40967 | Is this not an error on their part? |
40967 | It may be analyzed thus: Confession: Inside the palace, Pilate asked Jesus the question:"Art thou the King of the Jews?" |
40967 | Jesus answered Pilate: Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee of me? |
40967 | Levi says to them: Do you not know that from him I learned the law? |
40967 | M. An tu hæc non credis? |
40967 | Maybe so; but what of that? |
40967 | Now, in the light of the facts and principles just stated, what was the exact political status of the Jews at the time of Christ? |
40967 | Of what kind do you suppose are the meetings of these people? |
40967 | Or were peculiar rights and privileges granted to the strange people who inhabited it? |
40967 | Pilate answered Jesus: Am I also a Jew? |
40967 | Pilate said to him: Art thou, then, a king? |
40967 | Pilate said: Has God said that you are not to put to death, but that I am? |
40967 | Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called the Christ? |
40967 | Pilate says to Annas and Caiaphas: Have you nothing to answer to this? |
40967 | Pilate says to him: What is truth? |
40967 | Pilate says to the Jews: Why should he die? |
40967 | Pilate says to them who said that the demons were subject to him: Why, then, were not your teachers also subject to him? |
40967 | Pilate says to them: And what did they shout in Hebrew? |
40967 | Pilate says to them: If you bear witness to the words spoken by the children, in what has the runner done wrong? |
40967 | Pilate says to them: What evil practices? |
40967 | Pilate says to them: Why do you gnash your teeth against him when you hear the truth? |
40967 | Pilate says: And what are the things which he does, to show that he wishes to do away with it? |
40967 | Pilate says: For a good work do they wish to put him to death? |
40967 | Pilate says: How given? |
40967 | Pilate says: Is truth not upon earth? |
40967 | Pilate says: What temple? |
40967 | Pilate says: What, then, shall we do to Jesus, who is called Christ? |
40967 | Romans, can you think youths initiated, under such oaths as theirs, are fit to be made soldiers? |
40967 | Sayest thou nothing? |
40967 | Shall these, contaminated with their own foul debaucheries and those of others, be champions for the chastity of your wives and children? |
40967 | Shall we not rather consider it as a matter of shame and remorse to ourselves? |
40967 | Suppose that he should do it while acting as an administrator, would it be less an assassination? |
40967 | Suppose that the Governor General should do this while sitting as a judge, would it not be judicial murder? |
40967 | Suppose this should happen beneath the American flag, what would be the judgment of the American people as to the merits of the proceedings? |
40967 | That arms should be intrusted with wretches brought out of that temple of obscenity? |
40967 | The Jews cry out and say to the runner: The sons of the Hebrews shouted in Hebrew; whence, then, hast thou the Greek? |
40967 | The Jews say to him: How hast thou come into the synagogue? |
40967 | The Jews say to him:_ Hosanna membrome baruchamma adonai._ Pilate says to them: And this hosanna, etc., how is it interpreted? |
40967 | The Jews say: And wherefore did you not lay hold of them? |
40967 | The Jews say: At what time was this? |
40967 | The Jews say: Is not this the very thing we said, that on a Sabbath he cures and casts out demons? |
40967 | The Jews say: To what women did he speak? |
40967 | The Jews say: What benefactors? |
40967 | The Sanhedrin says to Rabbi Levi: Is the word that you have said true? |
40967 | The elders and the priests and the Levites say to them: Have you come to give us this announcement, or to offer prayer to God? |
40967 | The elders and the priests and the Levites say: If anyone speak evil against Cæsar, is he worthy of death or not? |
40967 | The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? |
40967 | The men of the guard say to the Jews: You have seen so great miracles in the case of this man, and have not believed; and how can you believe us? |
40967 | The men of the guard say: We were like dead men from fear, not expecting to see the light of day, and how could we lay hold of them? |
40967 | The question still arises: Who were the morally guilty parties? |
40967 | The runner says to them: I asked one of the Jews, and said: What is it they are shouting in Hebrew? |
40967 | Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? |
40967 | They say to Pilate: We are Greeks and temple slaves, and how could we adore him? |
40967 | They say to the teacher Levi: How knowest thou these things? |
40967 | Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: What hast thou done?" |
40967 | This act brought down upon him the disdainful retort from the others,"Art thou also a Galilean?" |
40967 | This challenge was boldly accepted by Mr. Stephen, who says:"Was Pilate right in crucifying Christ? |
40967 | This raises the question: Who were the real crucifiers of the Christ, the Jews or the Romans? |
40967 | Three times, in reply, Conscience sent to Pilate''s trembling lips the searching question:"Why, what evil hath he done?" |
40967 | Triceps apud inferos Cerberus? |
40967 | Upon what charge was He finally condemned and crucified? |
40967 | Upon whom should the greater blame rest, if both were guilty? |
40967 | Was any Roman or Punic god interested in this event? |
40967 | Was any deity concerned about these things? |
40967 | Was there an attempt by Pilate to attain substantial justice, either with or without the due observance of forms of law? |
40967 | Were the Jews wholly blameless? |
40967 | Were the two trials separate and independent? |
40967 | Were these charges the same as those preferred against Him at the trial before the Sanhedrin? |
40967 | Were we not justified in forming of them an unfavorable opinion?... |
40967 | What could have rendered his condemnation surer than such manifestations of contempt for the pride and voluptuousness of these men? |
40967 | What course would be taken towards him? |
40967 | What did Pilate think of Jesus? |
40967 | What forms of criminal procedure, if any, were employed by Pilate in conducting the Roman trial of Jesus? |
40967 | What forms of criminal procedure, if any, were employed by him in conducting the Roman trial of Jesus? |
40967 | What hast thou done? |
40967 | What nation ever contended more manfully against overwhelming odds for its independence and religion? |
40967 | What nation ever, in its last agonies, gave such signal proofs of what may be accomplished by a brave despair? |
40967 | What passage of Scripture, it may be asked, justifies this parallel with the case of Jesus before Pilate? |
40967 | What then was the law of Rome in relation to the crime of high treason? |
40967 | What were these rules? |
40967 | What, indeed, could have been the issue of a trial before the first chamber, composed as it was of demoralized, ambitious, and scheming priests? |
40967 | When Pilate had mounted the_ bema_, and order had been restored, he asked:"What accusation bring ye against this man?" |
40967 | Where is it anywhere stated, or by reasonable inference implied, that Pilate considered whether he ought not to become a disciple of Jesus? |
40967 | Where shall created beings find rest if you suppose that shades in hell and souls in heaven continue to have any feeling? |
40967 | Where were they, what thinking and why silent? |
40967 | Which of them do you wish me to release to you? |
40967 | Who were the directly responsible agents of the crucifixion, the Jews or the Romans? |
40967 | Who, then, could think of excluding him from the people of Israel? |
40967 | Why did Pilate do this? |
40967 | Why did he not examine the prisoner in the presence of His accusers in the open air? |
40967 | Why did he not release Him, and, if need be, protect Him with his cohort from the assaults of the Jews? |
40967 | Why did the Etruscan, the Elan, the Egyptian, and the Punic inspectors of sacrifice interpret the entrails in an entirely different manner? |
40967 | Why did they not do this? |
40967 | Why did they seek the aid of Pilate and invoke the sanction of Roman authority? |
40967 | Why do you weep? |
40967 | Why not persecute all the Greeks of the earth, wherever found, because of the injustice of the Areopagus? |
40967 | Why were there two trials of Jesus? |
40967 | Why? |
40967 | Why? |
40967 | Would it not stamp with indelible shame the administration that should sanction or tolerate it? |
40967 | Would the Governor General retain his office by such a course of conduct? |
40967 | You do n''t believe in them? |
40967 | You wish this man, then, to be a king, and not Cæsar? |
40967 | [ 150] M. Dic, quæso, num te illa terrent? |
40967 | [ 185] But we may ask, Why is this pompous name given to this chamber by the Evangelists? |
40967 | [ 186] But how, then, can we account for the presence of several high priests at the same time in the Sanhedrin? |
40967 | did you not know that Lucullus would dine with Lucullus?" |
40967 | travectio Acherontis? |
25826 | ''Where wert thou, brother, those four days?'' 25826 Can this new religion,"he asked,"tell us of what happens after death? |
25826 | Do not the secret things belong unto the Lord our God? |
25826 | I suppose your Master when He failed to persuade the living had to try and persuade the dead? |
25826 | Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
25826 | Shall we sleep between Death and the Judgment? |
25826 | ( See R. V.) Did St. Paul say,"He that doubteth( about eating certain meats) is damned if he eat"? |
25826 | 18); to unfurl His banner and set up His Cross in the great world of the departed? |
25826 | Am I merely the TRAIN OF THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS? |
25826 | Am"I"but like an Eolian harp, played on by the wind of sensations from without? |
25826 | And are they helping me? |
25826 | And can I do anything for them on my side in this"Communion of Saints"? |
25826 | And how does it happen that I remember what I thought and did and said with the old vanished brains of twenty and thirty years ago? |
25826 | And judging from what we know of God''s methods on earth, is it unreasonable to think that they will learn it from their brethren? |
25826 | And may it not be much less of a"leap off"than we think-- only a closing of the eyes here and an opening of them there? |
25826 | And now I close this book with the solemn question for us all: How shall we enter Heaven? |
25826 | And what shall we say of God''s fatherhood? |
25826 | And when we are told that God"willeth all men to be saved,"and that God can do everything, we are forced to ask, Can God do contradictory things? |
25826 | And yet-- and yet-- what shall we say? |
25826 | Are God''s elect in the Hereafter life still"_ elect for the service of others_"? |
25826 | Are they praying for me to that dear Lord whom we both love-- in whose presence we both stand to- day? |
25826 | Are you quite sure that in that spirit life a peaceful contentment like that of the cow who forgets her calf is the highest thing to be desired? |
25826 | As George Macdonald somewhere pertinently asks,"Shall we be greater fools in Paradise than we are here?" |
25826 | Ask yourself, each one, what do you mean by"I"? |
25826 | But are we justified in hoping? |
25826 | But immediately the question arises, Which brain? |
25826 | But is it true? |
25826 | But is that all? |
25826 | But ought we to be so MUCH afraid of it? |
25826 | But these are not dying? |
25826 | But what do I mean by Myself? |
25826 | But what of the souls who had gone out of earth from the beginning of the world without knowing Him? |
25826 | CHAPTER IX GROWTH AND PURIFICATION What is the main purpose of the Intermediate Life? |
25826 | CHAPTER VII RECOGNITION § 1 SHALL WE KNOW ONE ANOTHER IN THAT LIFE? |
25826 | Can God make a door to be open and shut at the same time? |
25826 | Can God make a man''s will free to choose good or evil and yet secure that he shall certainly choose good at the last? |
25826 | Can God make a thing to be and not to be at the same time? |
25826 | Can He not hear me when for thee I pray? |
25826 | Can He not reach thee with His tender care? |
25826 | Can he help us? |
25826 | Can not you imagine our wondering joy when our questionings are set at rest? |
25826 | Can not you imagine the Lord in His tender reproach,"Oh, thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" |
25826 | Can the surgeon''s knife find any trace of it? |
25826 | Can there be between us comradeship in any sense? |
25826 | Can this new religion solve for us the mystery? |
25826 | Can we doubt that somehow within the Veil they will learn more fully of His tender love? |
25826 | Can we help him? |
25826 | Can we know anything at all about his condition now?" |
25826 | Can we not leave with God the"how"of recognition? |
25826 | Can you imagine them never helping any one there, where growth in love is God''s highest aim for them? |
25826 | Could the wildest flights of imagination go further? |
25826 | Creation widened on man''s view Who could have thought such marvels lay concealed Behind thy beams, O Sun? |
25826 | Did God implant that divine love in her only to disappoint it? |
25826 | Did He say that those who had done evil should rise to the resurrection of damnation? |
25826 | Did he say that a church widow should have damnation for marrying again? |
25826 | Did it mean that he came back to them all in the life unseen when he was"gathered to his people"? |
25826 | Did the old father and mother now in the Unseen ever thank God for the comfort you had been to them during their declining years? |
25826 | Did you ever notice how a little child never says"I"till he is about three years old? |
25826 | Did you ever think of the mystery of this authoritative utterance of the self within you:"_ I ought_"? |
25826 | Did your wife ever tell you on earth how happy you had made her? |
25826 | Do n''t you like that honest appeal of his"as was only fair"? |
25826 | Do they know now of our life on earth? |
25826 | Do they know or care about my love and sorrow to- day? |
25826 | Do we believe that this is the right way to think of Heaven? |
25826 | Do we not know? |
25826 | Do you know Blanco White''s famous sonnet? |
25826 | Do you know Whittier''s beautiful poem of the old monk who had spent his whole life in hard and menial work for the rescue and help of others? |
25826 | Do you remember these wonderful words of our Lord,"No man hath ascended into Heaven, only the Son of Man who is in Heaven"? |
25826 | Do you say that you do not know what is before your friend-- that it is a"leap off into the dark"? |
25826 | Do you want further proof? |
25826 | Does He not there suggest that He would take thought for those men of Tyre and Sidon in the Unseen Land? |
25826 | Does any one need to ask that question? |
25826 | Does any one really doubt it who believes in God at all? |
25826 | Does he still know or care anything about the old home and about us who are left behind? |
25826 | Does he still love? |
25826 | Does he still remember? |
25826 | Does it not give a vivid reality to that world that we think of so vaguely? |
25826 | Does it not include also our fuller knowledge of one another? |
25826 | Does it not suggest that in the spirit land they are watching our doings here? |
25826 | Does it not, at least suggest, recognition in the Unseen Land? |
25826 | Does it seem unreal, unnatural, to some of us? |
25826 | Does not this unfinished life thus broken off, with its aim still far in the future, demand something further? |
25826 | From the Bible, do you say? |
25826 | From the teachings of Christ? |
25826 | Have we not learned from Scripture already that it is much less of"dark"than come of us thought? |
25826 | Have you ever thought of that"eternal pain"of God? |
25826 | He does not know what is before him: Darkness-- unconsciousness-- nothingness-- what? |
25826 | How can I cease to pray for thee? |
25826 | How can any outsider intermeddle in the pain of a mother whose boy has just been killed? |
25826 | How can you teach a blind, deaf man about this world of beautiful sights and sounds in which you are living? |
25826 | How could God teach us definite details about a life which no experience of ours can help us to imagine? |
25826 | How could I know what Shakespeare meant by a certain word? |
25826 | How could he do so if he did not know them? |
25826 | How could he say this if he thought He would not know them? |
25826 | How many of us are ever even in sight of that goal when we die? |
25826 | How shall we recognize each other without this accustomed bodily shape? |
25826 | How? |
25826 | I am not laying down this as a statement of Scripture, but I think it is a fair conjecture, for how else could they have learned it? |
25826 | II What have you learned? |
25826 | IS IT MY BRAIN? |
25826 | If I am fully conscious what am I conscious of? |
25826 | If I have made the best of myself what more should I desire to take? |
25826 | If millions of those Hindoos who have died without the Gospel would have accepted it, do you think it is not being taught to any of them now? |
25826 | If that spiritual vision apart from bodily shape plays so great a part in recognition here, may it not be all- sufficient there? |
25826 | If there be joy in His presence over one sinner that repenteth must there not be pain in His presence over one that repenteth not? |
25826 | If there be joy in His presence over one that repenteth must there not be pain over one that repenteth not? |
25826 | If there be no growth or purification in the Waiting Life what hope is there ever for any one of us of fitness for the presence of the all holy God? |
25826 | If we shall not know one another, why is there this undying memory of departed ones, the aching void that is never filled on earth? |
25826 | If we shall not know one another, why then this undying memory of departed ones, this aching void that is never filled on earth? |
25826 | In our sense of the word did our Lord say,"He that believeth not shall be damned"? |
25826 | Instead of thinking"I_ have_ a soul,"should we not rather think"I_ am_ a soul"? |
25826 | Is it a life of sleep and unconsciousness into which he has gone, or is he as fully alive and conscious as he was an hour ago? |
25826 | Is it hard to believe that a man thus knowing Christ and wilfully rejecting Him should thereby risk the ruin of his soul? |
25826 | Is it possible to destroy it? |
25826 | Is it possible to get away from it? |
25826 | Is it the spoiling and ruining of that self within you which Christ balances against the whole world? |
25826 | Is not that a Gospel? |
25826 | Is not that an incentive to stir one''s blood? |
25826 | Is not that sufficient answer to many questions? |
25826 | Is not that the chief delight of being young? |
25826 | Is not this mysterious"I"behind the brain the being that God is especially concerned with? |
25826 | Is that possible in the land of love? |
25826 | Is the destiny and the condition of every soul fixed forever at death? |
25826 | Is there further probation in that life? |
25826 | Is there growth and progress? |
25826 | Is there something to be done there which can not be fully done at any other time? |
25826 | It is therefore natural to ask what happens in it? |
25826 | It may be next week; but it may be 5,000 years hence, and meantime what of my life? |
25826 | Jesus saith,"Woman, hath no man damned thee?" |
25826 | May not the birth into that life be as simple as the birth into this? |
25826 | May we not read it in that"au revoir,"not"good- bye,"to the thief beside Him,"To- day you shall be with Me in Paradise"? |
25826 | May we speculate with faith on something we can not prove? |
25826 | Must it not be so in that land also? |
25826 | Must it not be so in that land too? |
25826 | Nay, shall we not know each other there far more thoroughly than we do here? |
25826 | Now do you see why the old apostle of Ephesus did not feel aged or elderly-- why he looked out like an eager boy into the adventure before him? |
25826 | Oh, how can you help doing it if you love them and believe in prayer? |
25826 | Or have we lost our beliefs? |
25826 | Or who could find Whilst flower and leaf and insect stood revealed That to such countless orbs thou madest us blind? |
25826 | People sometimes ask,"Why, then, is it new in our day?" |
25826 | Rejected still He pursues each one:"My child, what more could thy God have done? |
25826 | SHALL WE KNOW ONE ANOTHER IN HEAVEN? |
25826 | Shall not the loving Father do His best for all? |
25826 | Shall we know one another? |
25826 | Shall we say as some do that as Judge He must do cruel things which as Father He would shrink from? |
25826 | Shall"I"be"I,"the same identical person through all the ages of eternity? |
25826 | Should not that stir some hope at least that the Father may take similar care for us in our entry on the second stage at death? |
25826 | Should not we adapt our thoughts to that tremendous fact? |
25826 | Should not we be more likely to become acquainted with our own soul, to become impressed with its existence, to think about its character? |
25826 | Sleep, unconsciousness, darkness? |
25826 | That looks sensible, does it not? |
25826 | Thus, then, we answer the first of our questions-- What is meant by Heaven? |
25826 | V. HOW DO MEN ENTER HEAVEN? |
25826 | WHAT IS HEAVEN''S SUPREME JOY? |
25826 | WHAT IS MEANT BY HEAVEN? |
25826 | Was Victor Hugo right? |
25826 | Was the end of all things come already? |
25826 | Was the old pagan philosopher right? |
25826 | Was there ever before or since such a scene, such a preaching, such a preacher, such a congregation? |
25826 | We have asked, What is meant by Heaven? |
25826 | What about my hopes of entering Heaven? |
25826 | What are they knowing now?" |
25826 | What are they seeing? |
25826 | What can be known about that life in Heaven? |
25826 | What can be known of the details of life in Heaven? |
25826 | What comes to men in the dark, dim unknown?" |
25826 | What could it mean except they should know each other within? |
25826 | What do you think of that mysterious fact about this Conscious Personality within you? |
25826 | What do you think of the question? |
25826 | What else can we learn? |
25826 | What else do we certainly know? |
25826 | What else? |
25826 | What exactly had He in His mind when He used this word? |
25826 | What follows? |
25826 | What is he doing? |
25826 | What is he knowing in that mysterious world into which he has gone? |
25826 | What is he seeing? |
25826 | What is he seeing? |
25826 | What is the fault in all such? |
25826 | What is the matter with us, Christian people? |
25826 | What is the meaning of the phrase:"Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed"? |
25826 | What is the use of it? |
25826 | What is this I, this self? |
25826 | What of all the old- world souls who could not have known Him here on earth? |
25826 | What of their position in the Intermediate Life? |
25826 | What of them? |
25826 | What of them?" |
25826 | What sort of Heaven would it be otherwise? |
25826 | What sort of comfort would there be if we did not know one another? |
25826 | What was the reply? |
25826 | What would be the good of meeting if they should not know them? |
25826 | What? |
25826 | When the dust shall return to the earth as it was, shall the spirit return to God who gave it? |
25826 | Where did His spirit go? |
25826 | Where did that conviction come from? |
25826 | Where is he? |
25826 | Where would be the comfort of it if they should not know them? |
25826 | Where, then, did His Spirit go? |
25826 | Where, then, did His spirit go? |
25826 | Which of these brains is it that"I"am only a function of? |
25826 | Who or what is this"I,"this"me"? |
25826 | Who shall fix the limit? |
25826 | Why are the boundless prospects opened beyond the grave? |
25826 | Why do we then shun Death with anxious strife If Light can thus deceive, wherefore not Life? |
25826 | Why does it assert so positively that it is impossible to doubt it;"I ought to do certain things, I ought not to do certain other things"? |
25826 | Why is it so translated? |
25826 | Why is the gift and energy of the Holy Spirit? |
25826 | Why is the grace and power of the Sacraments in life? |
25826 | Why is the perpetual intercession of Christ in Heaven? |
25826 | Why not? |
25826 | Why should you be afraid? |
25826 | Why was the Incarnation and Death of the Everlasting Son of God? |
25826 | Why was this world slowly built through thousands of ages? |
25826 | Why, what should they do in Heaven? |
25826 | Why? |
25826 | Will God disappoint that tender love, that one supreme thing which is"the most like God within the soul"? |
25826 | Will it survive everything? |
25826 | Will it survive the final putting away of the whole body at death? |
25826 | Will not much of that progress in the life beyond come through unselfish ministry to others? |
25826 | Will our dear ones remember us? |
25826 | Will they, in all the years of progress, have grown too good and great for fellowship with us? |
25826 | You ask, How can I know what He meant? |
25826 | You have often thought, in wondering doubt,"Why did Christ come so late in the world''s history? |
25826 | or has imagination grown dulled by too frequent repetition of God''s good news? |
25826 | what is the use of it? |
25826 | § 1 Do they pray for us or help us in any way? |
25826 | § 1 IS IT MY BODY? |
25826 | § 2 And may not this act of dying be much less lonely than we think? |
25826 | § 2 Do you see, then, the mistake that people have been making in discussing what is meant by Heaven? |
25826 | § 3 What else have you learned? |
25826 | § 5 Sometimes one vaguely wonders, How can there be spiritual recognition? |
25826 | § 8 Now, have I helped, even in a little way, to introduce you to yourself-- that"self"that is going out into the great adventure of the Hereafter? |
12311 | My soul followeth hard after thee,said that holy man; but whence is all this life and vigour? |
12311 | Shall we sin because we are not under grace, but under the law? 12311 wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?" |
12311 | 1,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
12311 | 1,"how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?" |
12311 | 14,"castest thou off my soul? |
12311 | 14? |
12311 | 15,) what can support or comfort me then? |
12311 | 1; v. 3; when they stir not up the grace of God which is in them, how can they be lively? |
12311 | 2, what can trouble them? |
12311 | 25,) venteth himself, and little less than contradicteth his Master, saying, verse 5,"We know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way?" |
12311 | 3,"How long wilt thou forsake me?" |
12311 | 33, 34,"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect? |
12311 | 3; and will he not have compassion on the souls of his followers, when like to faint through spiritual discouragements? |
12311 | 5, what can discourage them? |
12311 | 6? |
12311 | 9,"Is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" |
12311 | 9? |
12311 | ; and if the Lord had not told him that his grace was sufficient for him, what would he have done? |
12311 | And did he take on the office and function of a King? |
12311 | And how do they hate such ministers as preach such doctrine as may serve to rouse them up, and set them a- work about their own salvation? |
12311 | And how ready and prone are we to receive and entertain wrong apprehensions of all his ways and dealings with his church and people? |
12311 | And if it can not act faith, how can it come to Christ and make use of him? |
12311 | And is it not found oftentimes that they are too ready to lean to something beside Christ? |
12311 | And is not this most reasonable? |
12311 | And is not this rational and easy? |
12311 | And is there any that in their own experience can witness the contrary? |
12311 | And is there any thing in him which we have no need of? |
12311 | And must God give thee as much as he giveth to another? |
12311 | And no wonder, for he hath all; he can desire no more; he can seek no more; for what can the man want that is complete in him? |
12311 | And should we comply with him in his designs? |
12311 | And should we not bless the Lord, that hath provided such a complete and all- sufficient Mediator? |
12311 | And should we not submit to his wise dispensations? |
12311 | And what hath the laborious spirit then reaped of all the travail of his soul, when he hath lost it? |
12311 | And what reason can plead for this double dealing? |
12311 | And what stumbling- block is here? |
12311 | And who can tell how many, and how dreadful errors they may drink in, who have once opened the door to a small error? |
12311 | And who more ready to complain than such as have least cause? |
12311 | And who seeth not what double dealing is here? |
12311 | And why, I pray, may not God dispose of his soldiers as he will? |
12311 | And, on the other hand, who can tell the misery of such as are strangers to Jesus? |
12311 | Are our spots this day the spots of his children? |
12311 | Are their fruits answerable to the Lord''s pains and labour about us, to be seen even amongst the greatest of professors? |
12311 | Are there not some young strong men in Christ''s family, and some that are but babes? |
12311 | Are we at a distance from the Father? |
12311 | Are we blind and ignorant? |
12311 | Are we dead? |
12311 | Are we dead? |
12311 | Are we jealous of them, as we ought to be? |
12311 | Are we out of the way? |
12311 | Are we wandered out of the way? |
12311 | Art thou sure, that all thy pains shall be in vain? |
12311 | But be it so, as it is alleged, what if the fault be their own? |
12311 | But can any say the terms are hard, when all is offered freely? |
12311 | But how? |
12311 | But is there not even some of those who are most tender, that complain of their deadness and shortcomings? |
12311 | But it will be asked, how can a soul act faith in such a case? |
12311 | But it will be said, what if, after all this, we get no outgate, but he hideth his face still from us? |
12311 | But know we the thoughts of the Lord; see we to the bottom of the deep contrivance of infinite wisdom? |
12311 | But what can yield me any ground of peace while it is so, that I see no pardon or remission granted to me? |
12311 | But what if, after all this, I find no intimation of pardon to my soul? |
12311 | But what shall I do with the guilt of my weak repentance, and weak faith? |
12311 | But what should a soul do in such a case? |
12311 | But whence hath the soul all this light? |
12311 | But who then, if not you? |
12311 | But,_ thirdly_, some may say, How then are the promises of the covenant made good? |
12311 | But_ lastly_, It will be inquired, what can support the believing soul in this case? |
12311 | By the law of works? |
12311 | By thy patient on- waiting, when thou art not wearying nor fainting, but saying, why should I not wait upon the great King''s leisure? |
12311 | By what law? |
12311 | Dare I set limits to the Holy One of Israel? |
12311 | Did he take upon him the office of a priest? |
12311 | Did he take upon him the office of a prophet? |
12311 | Do we see and believe the atheism of our hearts? |
12311 | Do we see and believe the hypocrisy of our hearts? |
12311 | HOW SHALL ONE MAKE USE OF CHRIST AS THE LIFE, WHEN WRESTLING WITH AN ANGRY GOD BECAUSE OF SIN? |
12311 | HOW SHOULD WE MAKE USE OF CHRIST, IN GOING TO THE FATHER, IN PRAYER, AND OTHER ACTS OF WORSHIP? |
12311 | Had not the foolish virgins lamps? |
12311 | Hath it not been found, that some have complained without cause? |
12311 | Have not his sung in the very fires; and rejoiced in all their afflictions? |
12311 | He is as high as heaven, what canst thou do? |
12311 | He is dead legally and really: how can he then come home? |
12311 | He offereth himself really to us, and shall we not be real in accepting of him? |
12311 | He offers all freely; and did he ever reject any upon the want of a price in their hand? |
12311 | Hence some of his cry out in their complaint, was there ever any so tempted, so assaulted with the devil, as I am? |
12311 | How can he walk in the way, though it were pointed out to him? |
12311 | How can this be answered in the day of accounts? |
12311 | How can we then but be troubled, when we find not this promise made good? |
12311 | How cometh it then, that the pointing forth of the way is so little hearkened unto? |
12311 | How great enemies are they to such ordinances as serve to awaken sleeping consciences? |
12311 | How many heathens, as to this, shall outstrip such as profess themselves Christians? |
12311 | How much better is thy love than wine, and the smell of thine ointments than all spices?" |
12311 | How rare is it to meet with persons that are not very well pleased and satisfied with themselves and their condition? |
12311 | How ready are we to put other things in his place? |
12311 | How ready are we to run either to the one extremity or the other in judging their persons and actions? |
12311 | How ready to stifle challenges of conscience, or any common motion of the Spirit, which tendeth to alarm their soul? |
12311 | How shall one make use of Christ as the Life, when wrestling with an angry God because of sin? |
12311 | How shall their wants be made up? |
12311 | How shall they answer challenges, accusations, temptations, doubts, fears, objections, and discouragements, cast up in their way? |
12311 | How shall we enter into the right way? |
12311 | How should we make use of Christ, in going to the Father, in prayer, and other acts of worship? |
12311 | How then can his work miscarry; or who can hinder, that truth should flourish on the earth? |
12311 | How then can such as do not eat become fat? |
12311 | How then can they prosper? |
12311 | How unwilling are they once to suspect their condition, or to suppose that it may be bad, and that they may be yet unconverted? |
12311 | How unwilling are they, to sit down seriously to try and examine the matter, and to lay their case to the touch- stone of the word? |
12311 | How, then, can they expect to be made clean? |
12311 | If his truth thrive and prosper in some other place of the world, shall we not say, that his kingdom is coming? |
12311 | If it be asked, what warrant have poor sinners to lay hold on Christ, and grip to him, as made of God righteousness? |
12311 | If it be inquired, why the Lord dispenseth so with his own people? |
12311 | If it were not so, why would Christ have said to believers, that he was life? |
12311 | Is he not a complete mediator, thoroughly furnished with all necessaries? |
12311 | Is he not free to come when he will? |
12311 | Is he our Lord and master, and should we not own and avouch him? |
12311 | Is it not reason that we take him as God hath made him for us? |
12311 | Is it not thy duty the more that corruption stirs, to run with it the oftener to Christ, that he may subdue it and put it to silence? |
12311 | Is it not too often seen, that they are the spiritual plague of formality, which stealeth them off their feet here? |
12311 | Is not all to be found in Christ that their case calleth for? |
12311 | Is not the riches of his fulness written on all his dispensations? |
12311 | Is there any clause in all the gospel excluding great sinners? |
12311 | Is there any mourning for this? |
12311 | Is there any thing in him to be refused? |
12311 | Is there not all the reason then in the world for this, that we take him wholly? |
12311 | It hath been the usual and ordinary question of believers, How shall we make use of Christ for sanctification? |
12311 | It is God that justifieth: Who is he that condemneth? |
12311 | It was he, and not the grace of God in him; what is more contradictory to the gospel of the grace of God? |
12311 | Know we the usefulness, yea, necessity of long winter nights, stormy blasts, rain, hail, snow, and frost? |
12311 | May he not labour to create most trouble to the soul, when he seeth that he is like to be put from some of his strengths? |
12311 | May it not come in a day, that hath not come in a year? |
12311 | May not much of this flow from thy not laying the whole work so wholly off thyself, and upon Christ, as thou oughtest to do? |
12311 | May not the devil rage most, when he thinks ere long to be ejected? |
12311 | May not this satisfy thee, that God through grace accepteth thy labour and wrestling, as thy duty, and accounteth it service to him, and obedience? |
12311 | May not thou improve this to thy advantage, by making many errands to him? |
12311 | Nay, should not this be looked upon as a very great encouragement? |
12311 | Now, if it be asked, How shall a believer make use of Christ, to the end this old man may be gotten crucified? |
12311 | O how doth it love to lose itself in finding here what it can not fathom? |
12311 | O how little is this believed now? |
12311 | O what a fool have I been, in quarrelling at, and in not being fully satisfied with all that grace was doing with me? |
12311 | Or shall we limit all his work and interest to one small part of the world? |
12311 | Or thinkest thou that all his children have got victory alike soon over their lusts? |
12311 | Ought we not to take him for all the ends and purposes for which God hath appointed him, and set him forth, and offered him to us? |
12311 | Satan is more cunning now, than to drive men to Popery by rage and cruelty,( and yet what he may be permitted to do after this manner, who can tell?) |
12311 | Sayeth not Christ, that not"every one that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of God?" |
12311 | Shall not the Truth be true? |
12311 | Shall truth fail? |
12311 | Should not this be seen, mourned for, and helped? |
12311 | Should we be ashamed of him for any thing, that can befall us, upon that account? |
12311 | There is an implicit repentance of sins that have not been distinctly seen and observed, as who can see and observe all their failings? |
12311 | This is a very dead- like condition,--what can be the causes or occasions thereof? |
12311 | This is clear and manifest, and proved to be truth by daily experience; yet how little is it believed, that it is so with us? |
12311 | This is very discouraging; for it made Paul cry out,"Woe is me, miserable man, who shall deliver me from this body of death?" |
12311 | Was he called the"Lord our Righteousness?" |
12311 | Was he called the"Prince of Peace?" |
12311 | Was he called the"everlasting Father?" |
12311 | Was he called the"mighty God?" |
12311 | Was he called"Counsellor?" |
12311 | Were not the Jews much in duties and outward ordinances? |
12311 | What a contradiction were that? |
12311 | What an excellency lieth here, to recover that lost glory, holiness and the image of God? |
12311 | What can be objected against this? |
12311 | What can that soul do that is not sensible of this deadness and weakness? |
12311 | What cause is there then to complain thus? |
12311 | What course shall we take with secret sins? |
12311 | What excuse can unbelievers now have? |
12311 | What great sinner did he ever refuse that came to him, and was willing to be saved by him? |
12311 | What if God see it for thy advantage, that thou be kept so in exercise for a time, to the end thou may be kept humble, watchful, and diligent? |
12311 | What if thou could not make that use of it that others do, but wax proud thereby, and forget thyself? |
12311 | What knowest thou, then, but they may be as much complaining on other accounts as thou dost on that? |
12311 | What master would not take that ill at his servant''s hands? |
12311 | What peace can all yield to a soul reflecting on posting away time, now near the last point, and looking forward to endless eternity? |
12311 | What serious servant of God findeth not this, in his dealing with souls, whom he is labouring to bring into the way of the gospel? |
12311 | What shall I do with my conscience, that still accuseth me of guilt, notwithstanding of my taking and following this course? |
12311 | What shoutings, grace, grace unto it, will be there; when the head- stone shall be brought forth? |
12311 | What then can any suppose to lie here which should scar a soul from laying hold upon him? |
12311 | What will they think to be challenged for this in the great day? |
12311 | What would souls, swimming in this ocean of pleasures and delights care for? |
12311 | What, I pray, can be justly excepted against this? |
12311 | Where is boasting then? |
12311 | Where is that good old way, that we may walk in it? |
12311 | Where is that to be heard,"Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved?" |
12311 | Wherefore( and who can think it strange, if it be so?) |
12311 | Whether or not there be a principle of life within? |
12311 | Who is able to recount all the errors and mistakes which our heart by nature is ready to admit and foster with complacency? |
12311 | Who would not then be hereby alarmed, and upon their guard, when matters are at this pass? |
12311 | Whose hair would not stand on end to hear this?) |
12311 | Why spend we our money for that which is not bread, and our labour for that which will not profit us? |
12311 | Why then should thou not be going on, leaning to Christ in the wilderness, even though thou want that comfortable sight? |
12311 | Why then wilt thou not wait his leisure? |
12311 | With what delight, satisfaction, and complacency will the glorified saint, upon this account, sing the redeemed and ransomed their song? |
12311 | Yea, how unwilling are they to hear any thing that may tend to awaken them, or to discover unto them the deadness of their condition? |
12311 | _ Fourthly,_ It may be said, but what can then, in the mean time, keep up the heart of a poor soul from sinking? |
12311 | _ Quest._ But what if for all this I get no outgate, but my distress and darkness rather grow upon my hand? |
12311 | _ Sixthly._ Should not this be a strong inducement to all of us, to lay hold on and grip to him, who is the truth, and only the truth? |
12311 | after we, with much labour and toil, have attained to the yondmost pitch there, we are never one whit the nearer heaven and happiness? |
12311 | and when they get this, what will they miss? |
12311 | by searching find out God? |
12311 | canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? |
12311 | deeper than hell, what canst thou know? |
12311 | or, how should a believer mortify this old man, and the lusts thereof, through Christ, or by the Spirit of Jesus? |
12311 | or, what real discouragement can any gather from this? |
12311 | that we are not more taken up in this study, which would be a compendious way for us to know all? |
12311 | what can discourage the man that walketh here? |
12311 | what can he fear? |
12311 | what unsuitable, erroneous, false, ungodly, absurd, and abominable opinions do we with greediness drink in and foster; yea, feed upon with delight? |
12311 | where is the faith of this natural condition? |
12311 | where is the real conviction of it? |
12311 | who shall deliver me from these dregs of Pelagianism, Arminianism, and Jesuitism, which I find yet within my soul? |
12311 | who would not walk in this way? |
12311 | why do we not carry as ingenious scholars, really desirous to learn? |
12311 | why holdest thou thy face from me?" |
42460 | ''Who hath believed our report? |
42460 | ''and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? |
42460 | ), 67---- not by sinners(? |
42460 | And does not the same principle apply in other cases? |
42460 | And first as to their_ motives_, had they any interest in asserting that Christ rose from the dead unless they really believed it? |
42460 | And how could such a story have been current within twenty years of the event, if nothing of the kind had occurred? |
42460 | And if He knows everything, why should He not care about everything? |
42460 | And if he had done so, would not his story have been instantly refuted? |
42460 | And in one passage at least the word_ day_ is used in a similar sense; for we read"Hast thou eyes of flesh or seest thou as man seeth? |
42460 | And is it likely that they would have had any sufficient motive to induce them to make the attempt? |
42460 | And is the inference less clear, if it not only turned out a watch, but a watchmaker as well, and everything else that exists on this planet? |
42460 | And lastly, as to his_ Reasoning_: did he draw the right conclusion? |
42460 | And then, what became of Him afterwards? |
42460 | And this being so, what shall we say of the millions of men who have lived, and are now living, on this earth? |
42460 | And we may ask, how could any writer have asserted all this, even a century afterwards, if no such sign had occurred? |
42460 | And we may ask, is it likely that such a vast scheme should end in failure, or at most in only a temporary success? |
42460 | And we may ask, would an Omnipotent God, Who cared for man''s welfare, have ever designed all this? |
42460 | And what reason have we for thinking that God would change His method now? |
42460 | And what shall we say of Christ''s frequent commands to keep His miracles_ secret_? |
42460 | And when we turn to the only other free being we know of, which is man himself, what do we find? |
42460 | And who will assert that this is an unknown experience? |
42460 | And why? |
42460 | And, we may ask, is it likely that the God Who rules these millions of stars should take any interest in the beings on a small planet like our earth? |
42460 | Are They, for instance, all three Persons? |
42460 | Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man''s days? |
42460 | But again we must ask how did the writer know that such creatures were ever plentiful enough, or important enough, to deserve this special mention? |
42460 | But again we must ask, what was it that enabled the Christians alone in that age of vice and wickedness to lead pure lives? |
42460 | But are they credible? |
42460 | But can we imagine a late writer in Canaan using such a phrase without explaining it? |
42460 | But could a mere human Teacher have had this more than human influence over thousands of converts, most of whom had never seen him? |
42460 | But did they, and do we possess this record in the Pentateuch? |
42460 | But for what is it matured? |
42460 | But how could the writer have known it, unless it had been divinely revealed? |
42460 | But how was it possible for the writer of Genesis to know all this? |
42460 | But is there a life after death? |
42460 | But is this improbability sufficient in all cases to make the event incredible, no matter what testimony there may be in its favour? |
42460 | But it may be said, do not the Gospels themselves contradict one another in some places, and if so they can not all be correct? |
42460 | But it may be said, has it not also done some_ harm_? |
42460 | But it may be said, may not all these quotations be from some_ Lost Gospel_? |
42460 | But it may be said, why ascribe this madness to an evil spirit? |
42460 | But ought he to add that it was therefore incredible? |
42460 | But to whom does the_ we_ refer, as she was apparently alone all the time? |
42460 | But was this belief justified? |
42460 | But we may ask, how did the writer of Genesis know all this? |
42460 | But we may ask, would the Jews have adopted such an expedient had there been any possibility of denying that the miracles occurred? |
42460 | But what becomes of the spirit? |
42460 | But what gave them this intense zeal? |
42460 | But what is the cause of this similarity? |
42460 | But what is the cause of this? |
42460 | But what shall we say when they were both made_ and_ fulfilled? |
42460 | But what then? |
42460 | But what then? |
42460 | But what then? |
42460 | But why not? |
42460 | But( apart from Revelation) how could the writer have known it? |
42460 | Can a jellyfish design? |
42460 | Can both be true? |
42460 | Can we dare to face it? |
42460 | Can we imagine a writer of fiction_ accidentally_ arranging these details in different parts of his book, which fit together so perfectly? |
42460 | Can we imagine anyone doing so at the present day? |
42460 | Can we imagine the best man that ever lived saying, If you have seen me, you have seen God? |
42460 | Can we imagine, for instance, a_ contemporary_ writer describing the Ten Plagues, or the Passage of the Red Sea, if nothing of the kind had occurred? |
42460 | Does not, it is urged, this very fact of itself form a difficulty? |
42460 | Eighthly, how are we to account for visionary_ conversations_? |
42460 | Evolution would then have_ God_ for its Cause, and_ man_ for its purpose-- an undoubtedly adequate_ Cause_, but is it an adequate_ purpose_? |
42460 | For are the wicked to be_ punished_ after death previous to their destruction? |
42460 | For how can men be convinced of Christianity, or anything else, if they will not take the trouble to examine its claims? |
42460 | For if He knows about it, why should He not care about it? |
42460 | For is it conceivable that Irenà ¦ us would have ascribed it to St. John, unless his teacher Polycarp had done the same? |
42460 | For what evidence could we expect to have? |
42460 | For what was the origin of the Egyptian doctrine itself? |
42460 | For when St. Paul found some disciples, who said they knew nothing about the Holy Ghost; he at once asked,''Into what then were ye_ baptized_? |
42460 | Genesis then starts from the right starting- point, but again we must ask, how did the writer know this? |
42460 | God we may be sure does not act without motives, and what adequate motive can be suggested for the Incarnation? |
42460 | Have we not here a powerful argument in favour of Christianity? |
42460 | His feeling forsaken by God, and using these actual words:''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'' |
42460 | His ideas are not like ours; for what adequate motive can we suggest for His creating man at all? |
42460 | How can all this be reconciled? |
42460 | How could a solitary God dwelling alone before the Creation of the world have been able to exercise either His Power or His Wisdom? |
42460 | How do we know that but for the prayers it might not have continued for a month and killed a thousand? |
42460 | How then did they let it escape? |
42460 | How then would this theory suit the facts of the case? |
42460 | How, then, could it have originated, except by some process other than natural,_ i.e._, supernatural? |
42460 | How, then, did the variations in each organism first arise? |
42460 | If He really did rise from the dead, and wished the world to believe it, why did He not settle the point by going publicly into Jerusalem? |
42460 | If the Pentateuch is a contemporary document, probably written by Moses, can we reject the miracles which it records? |
42460 | If we have to admit endless misery for these, why not for man? |
42460 | In every age conquerors have loved to record their conquests, and why should the Jews alone have been an exception? |
42460 | In other words, could not all_ sin_ have been excluded from the world? |
42460 | In short, what is man''s destiny here and hereafter? |
42460 | In short, why are not the evidences in favour of Christianity_ stronger_? |
42460 | Is it a trustworthy, and, on the whole, accurate account of the events which it records? |
42460 | Is it a_ contemporary_ document, written by, or in the time of, Moses? |
42460 | Is it conceivable that such doctrines should be true, no matter what evidence they may have in their favour? |
42460 | Is it likely that, if guilty of it, they would have been able to pass it off successfully on the whole nation? |
42460 | Is not this equally hard on the other man? |
42460 | Is then, this doctrine stated or implied in the New Testament? |
42460 | Is there a judgment? |
42460 | Is there any forgiveness for sin? |
42460 | Is there any life beyond death? |
42460 | Is this then incredible, or even improbable? |
42460 | It reads like extracts from an old diary, and why should all these insignificant details be recorded? |
42460 | Many may do this voluntarily, but what about the remainder? |
42460 | May not the difficulties in both cases, but especially in regard to the latter, be due to our_ ignorance_ only? |
42460 | Might not then God''s love induce Him to become man, so that He might the more easily win man''s love? |
42460 | Neither the eye nor the brain sees, they are mere collections of molecules of matter, and how can a molecule see anything? |
42460 | Next as to his_ Investigation_: did he avail himself of those means? |
42460 | Next as to his_ Knowledge_: had he the means of knowing the truth? |
42460 | Next as to their_ conduct_, did this show that they really believed what they preached? |
42460 | No one will deny that further knowledge is desirable, both as to God, ourselves, and our future destiny, and is there no means of obtaining it? |
42460 | Now all this may be admitted, but what then? |
42460 | Now could any writer have described all this, even a century afterwards, if nothing of the kind had occurred? |
42460 | Now is it conceivable that anyone would have ventured to make up such an account, even twenty years afterwards, if nothing of the kind had occurred? |
42460 | Now what conclusion can be drawn from all this? |
42460 | Now what effect has this on our present inquiry as to the truth of Christianity? |
42460 | Now what follows from this? |
42460 | Now what was the cause of this wonderful progress? |
42460 | Now, have we any reason for thinking that God also combines, in their highest forms, these two attributes of mercy and justice? |
42460 | One remaining objection, why are there so many difficulties, and no more obvious proof? |
42460 | Or is it conceivable that Polycarp, who personally knew St. John, could have been mistaken in the matter? |
42460 | Or would he have thought it worth repeating so often that they did not understand at the time the real significance of the events they took part in? |
42460 | Or, to put the objection in other words, does not the existence of this evil show that God either could not or would not prevent it? |
42460 | Shall we recognise those whom we have loved on earth? |
42460 | So again when God says,''Whom shall_ I_ send, and who will go for_ us_?'' |
42460 | Still it may be said, this only lessens the difficulty; for why should animals suffer pain at all? |
42460 | Still, it may be asked, is not the hope of future reward meant to influence men at all? |
42460 | Still, it may be asked, why should some persons be given this faculty of faith, while others are not? |
42460 | Taking, then, the Gospels as our guide, what is the character of Christ? |
42460 | The two earlier Creeds speak of the life everlasting( for the good), but what is to become of the bad? |
42460 | Then there is this further difficulty: what is to become of the evil angels? |
42460 | There must have been some motive in all this, and what adequate motive can be suggested? |
42460 | Therefore God can not force man to love Him, He can only induce him; and how can He do this better than by an Incarnation? |
42460 | Therefore a revelation is certainly_ possible_; but is it at all_ probable_? |
42460 | This is indeed one of our deepest, strongest, and most universal longings( who is there that has not felt it? |
42460 | This is what occurs frequently at the present day, and why should it not have occurred then? |
42460 | This seems only a trifle, but what does it mean? |
42460 | This, as before said, is the chief cause of human misery, and might it not have been avoided? |
42460 | Thus the Father implies the Son, for how can there be a Father, unless there is a Son( or at least a child)? |
42460 | Was it the human prophet, or was it God Who inspired the prophet to write as he did? |
42460 | We have, lastly, to inquire, is this Religion correctly summarised in the doctrines and statements of the_ Three Creeds_? |
42460 | What about the religious wars and persecutions in the Middle Ages? |
42460 | What chance was there then of persuading the world that He had risen from the dead, and why should they have embarked on such a hopeless scheme? |
42460 | What chance would there be of any one of the prophecies( leave alone all three) coming true, and_ remaining true for two thousand years_? |
42460 | What chance would they have of making a single convert? |
42460 | What effect would this have on our former conclusions? |
42460 | What evidence have we, then, that the first witnesses suffered for the truth of what they preached? |
42460 | What is the meaning of death? |
42460 | What is the meaning of sin? |
42460 | What, then, is the value of the evidence they afford as to the history of the Jewish Religion having been confirmed by miracles? |
42460 | When then would it be necessary to explain to the Israelites that these places, Shechem, etc., were in Canaan? |
42460 | Where else indeed shall we find a personal being at all? |
42460 | Where else shall we find a personal being with attributes superior to those of man? |
42460 | Why are not the prophecies plainer? |
42460 | Why does man exist at all? |
42460 | Why has he got free will? |
42460 | Why may not the wicked go on sinning for ever? |
42460 | Why not, it is said, settle the question once for all by a test case? |
42460 | Why should a universe of dead matter have ever produced life? |
42460 | Why should not man be a partly supernatural being? |
42460 | Why should there have been any evolution at all? |
42460 | Why, it is asked, did He only appear to His own disciples? |
42460 | Why, it is said, are there no miracles_ now_, when they could be properly tested? |
42460 | Why, it is said, if these prophecies really refer to Christ, are they not plainer? |
42460 | Why, then, should the fact of God being in His true nature unknowable prevent our having some real, though partial, knowledge of Him? |
42460 | Would a late writer, for instance, have thought of inventing questions which the Apostles wanted to ask their Master, but were afraid to do so? |
42460 | Would, for instance, wishing to see or trying to see, even if blind animals were capable of either, have ever given them eyes? |
42460 | Yet if it is known, does it not constitute all the proof we could expect of the action of an evil spirit? |
42460 | Yet is not this hard on the next competitor, who loses the scholarship in consequence? |
42460 | [ 324] And how could a subjective vision of St. Paul have thus affected all his companions? |
42460 | [ 426] And how, it is asked, could He have done so, if He had been both good and God? |
42460 | [ 431] But since he says he was only appealing to what his_ hearers_ knew to be true(_ even as ye yourselves know_), how else could he have put it? |
42460 | [ 477] But how are we to reconcile these with the far stronger ones before alluded to? |
42460 | _ The modern Jewish interpretation._ Now, what can be said on the other side? |
42460 | _ The supposed inhabitants of other planets._ But it may be said, what about other planets? |
42460 | and if so, are They three Gods? |
42460 | and what should we think of him if he did? |
42460 | if so, are They all three Divine? |
42460 | is there, that is, at least a slight chance that they would occur? |
35839 | Are not cause and effect,says he,"opposite in their natures? |
35839 | How does it appear to be a_ fact_,asks President Day,"that the will can not act when it is acted upon?" |
35839 | I conceive liberty to be rightly defined in this manner,says he;"liberty is the absence of all the impediments to action,( motion?) |
35839 | Is no_ activity_ given to the ball? 35839 According to this view, what does the self- determining power amount to? 35839 Admit that volition is an effect, and what can we say? 35839 All this is perfectly true, without the least reference to the question, how it came to exist, or how it will come to exist? 35839 And he illustrates the difference by saying,a man would prefer flying to walking, yet who can say he ever wills it?" |
35839 | And is it without a cause? |
35839 | And is not this enough? |
35839 | And is not this perfectly self- evident? |
35839 | And what does it amount to? |
35839 | And why? |
35839 | And why? |
35839 | And yet he tells us, that he uses the term in this sense( in what sense?) |
35839 | And, in truth, what does it amount to? |
35839 | Any thing to shock the common sense and reason of mankind? |
35839 | Are these two questions really distinct? |
35839 | Are we out of danger? |
35839 | Are we sunk in utter darkness? |
35839 | But as the question, in the present controversy, is, whether a man is accountable for his internal acts, for the volitions of his mind? |
35839 | But behind all this controversy, there is a question which has not been agitated; and that is, whether the will is determined at all? |
35839 | But do the arguments prove the same thing? |
35839 | But do you deny motive to be the cause of volition? |
35839 | But how can we expect this from him? |
35839 | But how does he show this? |
35839 | But how is this? |
35839 | But how shall this point be decided? |
35839 | But if the meaning be, that the will simply acts, why not present the idea in this its true and unambiguous form? |
35839 | But if the question be, Can an act arise and come into being, without a sufficient"ground and reason"of its existence? |
35839 | But is it just? |
35839 | But is it such an effect? |
35839 | But is the indissoluble connexion, or necessity, established by this argument, at all inconsistent with human liberty? |
35839 | But is the mind nothing? |
35839 | But is there no activity given to the ball? |
35839 | But is this so? |
35839 | But is this so? |
35839 | But no man, in his senses, ever puts forth a volition to make it rain-- and why? |
35839 | But suppose the argument to be sound, what does it prove? |
35839 | But what has this necessary connexion to do with the cause of its existence? |
35839 | But who ever held such a doctrine? |
35839 | But why dwell upon particular instances? |
35839 | But why fight against the doctrine of those who have laboured in the same great cause with myself? |
35839 | By the_ action_ of what is it produced? |
35839 | Can any being act, without being caused to act? |
35839 | Can some event, after all, begin to be without having a cause of its existence? |
35839 | Can there be one cause of volition, and another cause of its particular direction? |
35839 | Can we say, that the strongest motive may exist, and yet no volition may follow from it? |
35839 | Dare you assert, in the face of such teaching, that motive is not the cause of volition? |
35839 | Did any man, in his right mind, ever contend that"a volition could produce itself,"can arise out of nothing, and bring itself into existence? |
35839 | Did he expect that we should prove the non- existence of a thing by the direct evidence of consciousness? |
35839 | Did it not exist long before the effect then, which it produces in time? |
35839 | Do you affirm the mind to be the cause of volition? |
35839 | Does he ask himself whether it is the same in nature and in kind with a produced effect? |
35839 | Does he tell us, that it arises solely from our mistaking a metaphorical for a literal mode of expression? |
35839 | Does it not merely suffer? |
35839 | Does it prove that they are necessary with a_ moral necessity?_ Does it prove that they are brought to pass by the influence of moral causes? |
35839 | Does it prove that they are necessary with a_ moral necessity?_ Does it prove that they are brought to pass by the influence of moral causes? |
35839 | Does it prove them to be necessary with a moral necessity? |
35839 | Does it result from the prior action of mind, or of motive, or of any thing else? |
35839 | Does it show them to be subject to that moral necessity, for which Edwards contends, and against which we protest? |
35839 | Does not this expression include that which is the cause of volition in the real, in the only proper, sense of the word? |
35839 | Does such an absurdity really flow from the self- determining power of the will? |
35839 | Does the argument in question prove any more than the bare fact of the certainty of the events foreknown? |
35839 | Does the book before us_ cause_ us to think? |
35839 | Edwards frequently asks, if a volition is without a cause? |
35839 | Foreknowledge, I admit, infers this kind of necessity; but is this any thing to the purpose? |
35839 | Has any man ever ascertained the truth of this law by observation and experiment? |
35839 | Has any man ever seen a body put in motion, and continue to move on in a right line forever? |
35839 | Has he informed us that by_ cause_ he means_ occasion?_ He has done no such thing, and his language admits of no such construction. |
35839 | Has it a"sufficient ground and reason"of its existence? |
35839 | Has it become obsolete? |
35839 | Has not this first link, this volition of the Deity, a cause? |
35839 | Has volition an efficient cause? |
35839 | Have we no platform left whereon to stand, and to behold the glory of God, our Creator and Preserver? |
35839 | He finds himself possessed of a_ volition_; but does he look at this volition to see what it is? |
35839 | Here the question arises, Is such a thing possible? |
35839 | How are such illustrations intended to be applied to the phenomena of volition? |
35839 | How can it conflict, then, with any scheme of free- agency that ever was dreamed of by man? |
35839 | How can this be, if a causative act of the Almighty may exist, and yet, for millions of ages, its omnipotent energy produce no effect? |
35839 | How could Edwards have been more particular? |
35839 | How could language more clearly or precisely convey the meaning of an author? |
35839 | How does Mr. Locke meet this difficulty? |
35839 | How does it act, then? |
35839 | How does this show, that action and passion are not confounded, in supposing that an act is caused? |
35839 | How happened it, that so many ages rolled away, and this mighty causative act produced no effect? |
35839 | How is it then? |
35839 | If an effect is produced, is it not passive in relation to its cause? |
35839 | If his system be false, why, it may be asked, has the Inquiry so often appeared to be unanswerable? |
35839 | If it can be his virtue or his vice? |
35839 | If it is endued with an active nature, and really puts forth an act, is not this act clearly different from the passive impression made upon it? |
35839 | If our desires, affections,& c., operate to influence the will, how can it be free in putting forth volitions? |
35839 | If so, I reply it is absurd to affirm, that volition, or an act, is passive in relation to any thing? |
35839 | If such be the liberty of the will, what is it worth? |
35839 | If the action or influence of any thing produces an effect upon the mind, is not that effect merely a passive impression? |
35839 | If the choice be first, before the existence of a good disposition of heart, what is the character of that choice? |
35839 | If the question were, is a man accountable for his external actions? |
35839 | If they only seem to us to exist long before their effects, even from all eternity, how can this mere seeming make any real difference in the case? |
35839 | If they really exist just before their effects in time, and not long before them, why do they not exist in time just as much as any other volitions? |
35839 | If this be all that is meant, why not state the thing so that it may be acquiesced in by the necessitarian, instead of keeping up such a war of words? |
35839 | If this be so, what is this common property of motives, which we call their strength? |
35839 | If volition be not an effect, are there no effects in the universe? |
35839 | If you offer a guinea and a penny to a man''s choice, asks President Day, which will he choose? |
35839 | In other words; is it made to act? |
35839 | In the first place, when we ask,"what determines the will?" |
35839 | In view of such a case, how could the author have said, as he frequently does, that a cause necessarily implies its effect? |
35839 | In what sense then, let us inquire, does the knowledge of a present event prove it to be necessary? |
35839 | In what sense, then, does the above argument, supposing it to be sound, prove our actions to be necessary? |
35839 | Indeed, if a body be put in motion, and meets with no resistance, it will move on in a right line forever-- and why? |
35839 | Is a free, intelligent, designing cause nothing? |
35839 | Is choice produced by choice? |
35839 | Is choice_ not_ produced by choice? |
35839 | Is he not a great reasoner, rather than a great thinker? |
35839 | Is it active then in relation to any thing? |
35839 | Is it any thing like the assertion, that an effect has no cause? |
35839 | Is it brought into existence, like the motion of body, by the prior action of any thing else? |
35839 | Is it brought to pass by the prior action of motive? |
35839 | Is it in the power of motive? |
35839 | Is it in the uncaused volition of Deity? |
35839 | Is it in the will? |
35839 | Is it meant, that not volition itself, but the will, is passive to that which acts upon it, while it is active in relation to its effect? |
35839 | Is it meant, that volition itself is passive in relation to one thing, and active in relation to another? |
35839 | Is it necessitated? |
35839 | Is it produced in the mind, and is the mind passive as to its production? |
35839 | Is it self- contradictory? |
35839 | Is it supposed, that it is neither the volition nor the will, which is both active and passive at the same time; but that it is the mind? |
35839 | Is it true, then, that any power or efficacy belongs to the sensitive or emotive part of our nature? |
35839 | Is it true, then, that if the will causes its own volitions, it can cause them only by preceding volitions? |
35839 | Is it, like the motion of a body, the passive result of the action of something else? |
35839 | Is not all this true, on the supposition that the mind is the efficient cause of volition? |
35839 | Is not an effect, which is wholly produced in one thing by the action or influence of another, wholly passive? |
35839 | Is not the thing which, according to the supposition, is wholly passive to the influence acting upon it, wholly passive? |
35839 | Is not the whirlwind active, when it tears up the forest?" |
35839 | Is not the whirlwind_ active_, when it tears up the forest?" |
35839 | Is not this distinction properly applied? |
35839 | Is not this inference well drawn? |
35839 | Is not this inference well drawn? |
35839 | Is the mind nothing? |
35839 | Is the motion of body, then, one and the same thing with the action of mind? |
35839 | Is the will nothing? |
35839 | Is there any thing very contradictory in all this? |
35839 | Is there no activity in this? |
35839 | Is this doctrine any the less certain, because it is a matter of inference? |
35839 | Is this great principle given up? |
35839 | Is this idea absurd? |
35839 | Is this to consider it as merely an antecedent to volition, which exerts no influence? |
35839 | Is this to make motive merely the condition on which the mind acts? |
35839 | Is volition an effect, in the same sense that the motion of the body is an effect? |
35839 | It has no reference whatever to the question, Is the mind free in the act of willing? |
35839 | It is absurd, says the latter, to suppose that a weaker motive, or any thing else, can prevail over the stronger-- and why? |
35839 | It is as perfect as any syllogism in Euclid_ but what does it prove?_ It proves that all human actions are necessary-- but in what sense? |
35839 | It is as perfect as any syllogism in Euclid_ but what does it prove?_ It proves that all human actions are necessary-- but in what sense? |
35839 | It is very necessary to separate the different questions included in the general one, Is not a volition caused? |
35839 | It proves our actions to be necessary; but in what sense? |
35839 | May we not with equal, nay, with infinitely greater propriety, contend that mind just exerts its own positive influence of itself? |
35839 | Now does our idea of a volition correspond with this idea of an effect? |
35839 | Now is this logic, or is it legerdemain? |
35839 | Now is this so? |
35839 | Now what has the connexion between any two or all the propositions in the universe, to do with the controversy about acts of the will? |
35839 | Now who would deny this position of the learned president? |
35839 | Now, does not every cause of volition include the efficient cause thereof? |
35839 | Now, here is the distinction, but is it not without a difference? |
35839 | Now, how can we conclude from hence, that the volitions of moral agents are, not only certain, but rendered certain by the influence of moral causes? |
35839 | Now, if a volition is an effect, if it has an efficient cause, what is that cause? |
35839 | Now, is a volition an effect in such a sense of the word? |
35839 | Now, shall we fly from these mysteries? |
35839 | Now, what is the real import of this testimony? |
35839 | Now, what is this certainty in things themselves, or in human volitions, without which they are incapable of being foreknown? |
35839 | Or what does it signify to tell us, that a body may be caused to move? |
35839 | Our desires may be so strong as entirely to overcome us-- and what then? |
35839 | Shall we assent to it, then? |
35839 | Shall we conclude that there_ must_ be some cause to produce it? |
35839 | Shall we deny it? |
35839 | Shall we explain away the free- agency of man, or deny the foreknowledge of God? |
35839 | Shall we set to work to reform our ideas? |
35839 | Shall we strive to make the matter plain, in a single instance, by assigning an efficient cause to an act of the will? |
35839 | Suppose this to be the case, with whom has he any controversy, or to what purpose has he argued? |
35839 | The conclusion is inevitable; but what does it prove? |
35839 | The great question, according to his work, is, what is this cause? |
35839 | The philosophers of all ages have sought for the efficient cause of volition; but who has found it? |
35839 | The question still remains to be settled, what is meant by determining the will? |
35839 | This is all true; but is this indissoluble connexion, or necessity, at all inconsistent with the contingency of the event known? |
35839 | This is the question: Is motive the efficient, or producing cause of volition? |
35839 | To evade this, can it be pretended, that motive just exerts this influence of itself? |
35839 | To make this matter clear, let us consider what is precisely meant by the term cause when it is thus used? |
35839 | To this the necessitarian replies, what does it signify that a man has a perfect liberty in regard to the choice of"one of two peppercorns?" |
35839 | True, it must be an effect, if you please; but in what sense of the word? |
35839 | Truly, there is activity in this, in our"deep and earnest thinking"; but what is the cause of this activity? |
35839 | Was it because he did not wish to march up, fairly and squarely, in the face of the enemy, and contend with them in their strongholds and fastnesses? |
35839 | We deny that volition is an effect; and what then? |
35839 | What do they prove? |
35839 | What is the cause of an effect?--of the motion of the hand, for example? |
35839 | What is then, really and properly speaking, the cause of the motion in question? |
35839 | What is this but to inform us, that an act of volition is produced by that which produces it? |
35839 | What says consciousness upon this point? |
35839 | What shall we conclude then? |
35839 | What shall we do then? |
35839 | What shall we do, then, with this broad, this most ambiguous proposition? |
35839 | What then is a volition just as it is revealed to us in the light of consciousness? |
35839 | What then, is the precise doctrine of the Inquiry which I intend to oppose? |
35839 | What then? |
35839 | Whence, then, do we derive the ideas of cause and effect, and of the necessary connection between them? |
35839 | Where shall we look for it? |
35839 | Who can deny that a man always does what he pleases, when he does what he pleases? |
35839 | Who has not felt, on such an occasion, that although the passions may storm, yet the will alone is power? |
35839 | Who would say, that that which has the greatest influence has not the greatest influence? |
35839 | Why did not Edwards, then, combat this idea? |
35839 | Why should it be thought impossible to reconcile the free- agency of man with the foreknowledge of God? |
35839 | Why should the failure of other times, resulting from such a course, inspire us with despair? |
35839 | Why then did the world spring up and come into existence at one point of time rather than another? |
35839 | Why, then, will the man be certain to choose the guinea, all other things being equal? |
35839 | Will the one exert as great an influence over him as the other? |
35839 | and why do they not as much require causes to account for their existence? |
35839 | as"why its acts are thus and thus limited?" |
35839 | does the volition of God come into existence without a cause of its existence? |
35839 | for the movements of his body? |
35839 | or has it not a cause? |
35839 | or that it is a ground or reason, either in whole or in part, either by positive influence or not, why it is rather than not? |
35839 | or that they could infer any thing from this, in favour of a causal necessity-- the only question in dispute? |
35839 | without being an effect? |
9103 | Believest thou this? |
9103 | But what if this fate_ should_ depend on myself? 9103 By whom do your children cast them out?" |
9103 | He asked him if he saw ought? 9103 How long is it ago since thus hath come unto him?" |
9103 | Is not indifference more contemptible? 9103 Is this the limit of your patience?" |
9103 | Said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? |
9103 | Was it not the faith of the others too that had healed them? |
9103 | What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? |
9103 | Where have ye laid him? |
9103 | Whether is easier-- to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Rise up and walk? |
9103 | Whom seekest thou? |
9103 | Why could not we cast him out? |
9103 | Why do you think evil in your hearts? |
9103 | Wilt thou be made whole? |
9103 | Woman, what have I to do with thee? 9103 Woman, why weepest thou?" |
9103 | Woman, why weepest thou? |
9103 | _ If thou canst_? |
9103 | --Why this mediating clay? |
9103 | A man may say,"How can I have faith?" |
9103 | Above all, is he content to go on with man and woman and child now, careless of whether the love is a perishable thing? |
9103 | All knew that the Lord had risen indeed: what matter whether some of them saw one or two angels in the tomb? |
9103 | Am I to be careless then?" |
9103 | And at the worst, what was decay to him, who could recall the disuniting atoms under the restored law of imperial life? |
9103 | And if more, why not altogether? |
9103 | And of what did the glow of her face, the light in her eyes, and the tone with which she uttered the words,"They have no wine,"make Jesus think? |
9103 | And what is the highest obedience? |
9103 | And what shall he do to whom a son is given whom yet he can not keep? |
9103 | And what wonder? |
9103 | And who will mourn to find this out? |
9103 | And yet-- and yet-- did he never love man or woman or child? |
9103 | Any one of themselves who believed in God and the prophets, might have stood up and said--"Mourners, why make such ado? |
9103 | Are not its forms stately and fair? |
9103 | Are not the most powerful of the rays of light invisible to our vision? |
9103 | As soon as the men who had gone backward and fallen to the ground, had risen and again advanced, he repeated the question--"Whom seek ye?" |
9103 | But had it been as Martha feared, who so tender with feeble flesh as the Son of Man? |
9103 | But if matter be the outcome of spirit, and body and soul be one man, then, if the soul be radiant of truth, what can the body do but shine? |
9103 | But if this nobleman was a faithful man, whence our Lord''s word,"Except ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe"? |
9103 | But once more the question recurs: Why say so often that this and that one''s faith had saved him? |
9103 | But one may say: Why then did he not cure all the sick in Judà ¦ a? |
9103 | But was not the other hand God''s too?--God''s as much as this? |
9103 | But what did our Lord mean by those words--"The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth"? |
9103 | But where, I pray them, lies any field so absolutely its region as the unknown which yet the heart yearns to know? |
9103 | But who can tell what he may have done even for them without their recognizing it save in conscious well- being? |
9103 | But who was he who had thus lifted her up? |
9103 | But why, when occasion appeared, should it not have its place? |
9103 | But why? |
9103 | But, again, what was it in his mother''s look and tone that should work the change in our Lord''s mood? |
9103 | Can it then be very hard to believe that he should alter by a thought any form or appearance of things about us? |
9103 | Could anything be more consistently diabolic? |
9103 | Did she mean to hint what she had not faith enough to ask? |
9103 | Does God, then, make death look what it is not? |
9103 | Experiment itself must follow in the track of sober conjecture; for if we know already, where is the good of experiment? |
9103 | Had it been all a dream? |
9103 | Had not the power of God been always present in that left hand, whose unwithered life had ministered to him all these years? |
9103 | Had not the presence of Judas, then-- perhaps his kiss-- something to do with the discomfiture of these men? |
9103 | Had she not been fit, therefore chosen, to bear him? |
9103 | Have I faith?" |
9103 | Have you never grudged the coming sleep, because you must cease for the time to_ be_ so much as you were before? |
9103 | He who uses his vision only for the care of his body or the indulgence of his mind-- how should he understand the gift of God in its marvel? |
9103 | How could he show it them? |
9103 | How could they have borne such before He had come? |
9103 | How long shall I suffer you?" |
9103 | How shall I enter the temple of this wonder? |
9103 | How shall faith be born but of the beholding of the faithful? |
9103 | How should the intellect understand its own origin and nature? |
9103 | How should you have faith? |
9103 | I acknowledge a likeness: why might there not be some likeness between what God does and what man invents? |
9103 | I answer,"How can you indeed, who do the thing you know you ought not to do, and have not begun to do the thing you know you ought to do? |
9103 | I doubt if he told them anything? |
9103 | I have thought it was the bystanders: but why they? |
9103 | I repeat, all prayer is assuredly heard:--what evil matter is it that it should be answered only in the right time and right way? |
9103 | I think the words should have a point of interrogation after them, to mean,"Is it thus far ye suffer?" |
9103 | If Jesus was the son of the Father, is it hard to believe that he should give men bread and wine? |
9103 | If a man say,"But might not the will of God make my will with the intent of over- riding and enslaving it?" |
9103 | If it be annihilation, why quail before it? |
9103 | If my supposed interlocutor answers,"What then is the good of praying, if it is not to go by what I want?" |
9103 | If so-- and it seems to me probable-- how comes it that St John alone omits the kiss-- St John alone records the recoil? |
9103 | In the honesty of his heart, lest he should be saying more than was true-- for how could he be certain that Jesus would cure his son? |
9103 | Is he content that there should be no more of it? |
9103 | Is it any wonder that this Mary should spend three hundred pence on an ointment for the feet of the Raiser of the Dead? |
9103 | Is it he, to whom God has given such power, or is it John, of whom she has also heard? |
9103 | Is it nothing to be told that it will pass away? |
9103 | Is it possible they may have told their friends something which has filtered down to us in any shape? |
9103 | Is it the young man, Jesus, of whom she has heard? |
9103 | Is life not a good with all its pain? |
9103 | Is not that what you would? |
9103 | Is not the wall of partition henceforth destroyed? |
9103 | Is the preference for the one over the other foolish then-- even to the meanest judgment? |
9103 | It is a lovely story that follows, full of marvel, as how should it not be? |
9103 | It is no wonder that when Jesus found him and asked him,"Dost thou believe on the Son of God?" |
9103 | It may be said,"Why all this? |
9103 | It was true he should rise again; but what was that to the present consuming grief? |
9103 | Law is truth: has it a soul of thought, or has it not? |
9103 | Need I, to combat again the vulgar notion that the essence of the miracles lies in their power, dwell upon this miracle further? |
9103 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
9103 | O Grave, where is thy victory?" |
9103 | Ought he not to cleave fast thereto? |
9103 | Ought one to be willing to part with a good? |
9103 | Shall God create that which shall fetter and limit and enslave himself? |
9103 | She was about to grasp him with the eager hands of reverent love: why did he refuse the touch? |
9103 | Should he be paralyzed because we are blind? |
9103 | That look, was it not a look up to his own Father? |
9103 | That one who has once thought should not care to go on to think? |
9103 | That sigh, was it not the unarticulated prayer to the Father of the man who stood beside him? |
9103 | That this glory should perish-- is it no grief? |
9103 | The Lord who had made the Universe-- how_ should_ he show it but as the Healer did? |
9103 | The door of prayer has been open since ever God made man in his own image: why are signs and wonders necessary to your faith? |
9103 | There was no danger then of that diseased self- consciousness which nowadays is always asking,"Have I faith? |
9103 | Thereupon the people questioned amongst themselves saying,"What thing is this? |
9103 | They may have in them the very germ of life and truth; but what is that, if they destroy this Babylon that we have built? |
9103 | To express in the best way my feeling concerning it, I would dare to imagine our Lord speaking in this fashion:--"Why did you not pray the Father? |
9103 | To them, weeping and wailing greatly, after the Eastern fashion, he said when he entered,"Why make ye this ado, and weep? |
9103 | To which of them did he say,"How long shall I be with you? |
9103 | Was it not rather the other spirit, the spirit of life, which not the presence of a legion of the wicked ones could drive from him? |
9103 | Was it not the life of God that inspired his whole frame? |
9103 | Was it not the spirit of the Father in him which brought him, ignorant, fearing, yet vaguely hoping perhaps, to the feet of the Son? |
9103 | Was it the devils, then, that urged the man into the presence of the Lord? |
9103 | Was she not his mother? |
9103 | What better sign of immortality than the raising of the dead could God give? |
9103 | What can this nobleman do but seek the man of whom such wondrous rumours have reached his ears? |
9103 | What did it mean? |
9103 | What did that matter? |
9103 | What does this answer imply? |
9103 | What first of all_ was_ it? |
9103 | What greater honour could he honour their faith withal than grant in their name, unasked, the one mighty boon? |
9103 | What he did say was this--"Woman, what is there common to thee and me? |
9103 | What if this light were the healing agent of the bodies of men, as the deeper other light from which it sprung is the healing agent of themselves? |
9103 | What in this woman it was that made it right she should bear these bonds for eighteen years, who can tell? |
9103 | What matters it that the dead come not back to us, if we go to them? |
9103 | What matters it, so long as he works as the Father works, and lives as the Father wills? |
9103 | What other word could Jesus address to such than,"Hold thy peace, and come out of him"? |
9103 | What should his laws, as known to us, be but the active mode in which he embodies certain truths-- that mode also the outcome of his own nature? |
9103 | What should make a man''s face shine, if not the presence of the Holy? |
9103 | What then was this his glory? |

6038 | Do not the works of James, the faith of Paul, and the love of John appeal to us in their own peculiar way? |
6038 | Do the departed loved ones know anything about it? |
6038 | Do we believe_ with Him_, or_ on_ Him? |
6038 | Do we carry these little characteristics into the other life? |
6038 | Do we love holiness to the extent of sacrificing for it? |
6038 | Do we really believe these words? |
6038 | Does Christ still retain the prints of the nails? |
6038 | Does God Repent? |
6038 | Does he perish at death, or does he enter into another state of being; and under what conditions of happiness or woe does he exist there? |
6038 | Does it move men today? |
6038 | Does not a liberal faith mean a faith that believes_ much,_ not little-- as much, not as little, as possible? |
6038 | Does not such a faith(?) |
6038 | Does the Holy Spirit possess such properties? |
6038 | Does the doctrine of repentance find such a prominent place in the preaching and teaching of today? |
6038 | Even if these events are to precede the"rapture,"have they not all been fulfilled? |
6038 | Flowers, and no florist? |
6038 | For what reason, and on what ground was it changed? |
6038 | From finite and imperfect beings like ourselves? |
6038 | From whence this idea? |
6038 | Further, is the Church the_ only_ witness? |
6038 | Gen. 18:14--"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" |
6038 | Has God lessened or changed the terms of admission into His kingdom? |
6038 | Has Jesus Christ still this body in the glory? |
6038 | Has the need for repentance diminished? |
6038 | Hath he spoken and shall he not make it good?" |
6038 | He explained all the other figurative words, why not this one? |
6038 | Here is an effect, a tremendous effect; what was its cause? |
6038 | How are men sanctified? |
6038 | How could He reward and punish otherwise? |
6038 | How did that grave become empty? |
6038 | How do we account for it? |
6038 | How does the Word of God sanctify? |
6038 | How shall we account for the absence of the body of Jesus from the tomb? |
6038 | How then is man responsible for not having it? |
6038 | How would it sound to say,"In the name of the Father"_ and of Moses?_ Would it not seem sacrilegious? |
6038 | How would it sound to say,"In the name of the Father"_ and of Moses?_ Would it not seem sacrilegious? |
6038 | How, then, can Israel say,"My way is hid from the Lord?" |
6038 | How, then, can evil triumph? |
6038 | How, then, do we account for the differences in style of the various writers, the preservation of their individualities, their idiosyncrasies? |
6038 | How? |
6038 | If He needed to depend solely upon the Spirit can we afford to do less? |
6038 | If a miraculous exit was granted to men like Elijah and Enoch, who were sinful men, why should we marvel if such was granted to Christ? |
6038 | If all men were not capable of being saved, how then could we pray to that end? |
6038 | If such is His power how shall Assyria withstand it? |
6038 | If the first two names are personal, is not the third? |
6038 | If without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin, where is the shed blood?'' |
6038 | In the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus no name is given to the godless rich man; why? |
6038 | Is He not holy? |
6038 | Is He still the Lamb as though it had been slain? |
6038 | Is Jesus Christ a man of a much higher type of faith than ours, yet one with whom we believe in God? |
6038 | Is any light thrown on the question by the incident of the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace? |
6038 | Is it a definite place, or is it simply a figure of speech denoting a place of authority and power? |
6038 | Is it a"sign"of His coming? |
6038 | Is it not marvellous? |
6038 | Is it not remarkable that the Baptist uses the word"unquenchable"''( Greek,"asbestos") when speaking of this fire? |
6038 | Is it possible that anyone need be told the flat and sapless tautology that all divinely- inspired Scripture is_ also_ profitable? |
6038 | Is it right that God should make the holiest man in all the ages the greatest sufferer, if that man were but a martyr? |
6038 | Is it self- originating, or is the cause of its being outside of itself? |
6038 | Is it too much to say that on that baptismal day Jesus was keenly conscious that these Old Testament predictions were fulfilled in Him? |
6038 | Is its cause finite or infinite? |
6038 | Is not Jesus here conscious of Himself as being the centre of the scene thus described in the Apocalypse? |
6038 | Is not Jesus here repeating what had been done for Him at His baptism: conveying super- human power? |
6038 | Is not one of the principal reasons for the writing of the Epistle to the Colossians to correct the gnostic theory of the worshipping of angels? |
6038 | Is not this a sufficient number? |
6038 | Is not this true also of the believer''s eternal security? |
6038 | Is the present Christian consciousness borne out by the Gospel narratives? |
6038 | Is the"fire"spoken of here_ literal_ fire? |
6038 | Is there a purpose here to ignore the wicked? |
6038 | Is there not here an indication of the consciousness on the part of Jesus of a unique relationship with His heavenly Father? |
6038 | Is this a description of hell--absence of spiritual light; separation from the company of the saved; lamentation; impotent rage? |
6038 | Is this cause within or without himself, finite or infinite? |
6038 | It can not help raising the question of the whither, as well as of the what and the whence? |
6038 | It is an effect, a glorious effect; what is its cause? |
6038 | It is true that others raised the dead, but under what different conditions? |
6038 | It is true that this term is used of men, e.g., Acts 16:30--"Sirs( Lords), what must I do to be saved?" |
6038 | Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? |
6038 | Job 22:12- 14--"Is not God in the height of heaven? |
6038 | John 21:21- 23--"Peter seeing him( John) saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? |
6038 | Know you of anything bolder than this? |
6038 | Luke 11:13--"How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" |
6038 | Mark 14:61, 62--"Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed"( Luke 22:70--"Art thou then the Son of God? |
6038 | Meaning: The Samaritan woman''s question,"Where is God to be found?" |
6038 | Micah 7:18,19--"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? |
6038 | Or did He intend that His disciples should have the impression that He was speaking of literal fire? |
6038 | Or is He, equally with God, the object of our faith? |
6038 | Or that He could not pursue them into foreign countries? |
6038 | Or that He knew what was transpiring in heaven only and not upon the earth, and even in its most distant corners? |
6038 | Pride(?) |
6038 | Reference may here be made to the white stone( diamond?) |
6038 | Reply: True, but was not this fulfilled when they saw Christ on the Transfiguration Mount? |
6038 | Reply: What is meant by a"generation"? |
6038 | Shall we know Him by the prints?] |
6038 | Shall we know our loved ones by these things?] |
6038 | Shall we read,"Anointed.. with_ power_ and power?" |
6038 | Shall we read,"That ye may abound in hope, through the power of the_ power_"? |
6038 | Shall we say,"It seemeth good to_ the wind_ and to us"? |
6038 | She said:"Thy father"; Jesus replied in substance:"Did you say_ my_ father has been seeking me?" |
6038 | Should not the exit of Christ from this world be as unique as His entrance into it? |
6038 | Simon Magus was baptized( Acts 8), but was he saved? |
6038 | So was it with the faith which Christ demanded in His miracles:"Believe ye that I am able to do this?" |
6038 | Strictly speaking, it is not now so much of a_ sin_ question as it is a_ Son_ question; not, What shall be done with my sin? |
6038 | That was an effect; what was its cause? |
6038 | That word was used for other Christian deaths, why not for Christ''s? |
6038 | The great question for the Christian to answer is not"What can I do?" |
6038 | The prophet can not believe it possible, for has not God_ eternal_ purposes for Israel? |
6038 | The question is not so much"How many talents have I received,"but"To what use am I putting them?" |
6038 | The test which the church should apply to all questions of practice: Would I like to have Christ find me doing this when He comes? |
6038 | They are not given to mock but to encourage us:"Hath he said and shall he not do it? |
6038 | Thirdly, There is the descent of the Spirit, and the heavenly voice; what meaning did these things have to Jesus? |
6038 | Trace our origin back, if you will, to our first parent, Adam; then you must ask, How did he come into being? |
6038 | True, but we reply: Why do we need an incarnation for the manifestation of that purpose? |
6038 | WHAT IS THE NATUEE OF THE INSPIRATION THAT CHARACTERIZED THE WRITERS OF THE SCRIPTURES, AND IN WHAT DEGREE WERE THEY UNDER ITS INFLUENCE? |
6038 | WHY IS THE PERSONALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT QUESTIONED? |
6038 | Was there any significance in the fact that Jesus did not explain the word"fire"? |
6038 | Were the words dictated by the Holy Spirit, or were the writers left to choose their own words? |
6038 | Were the_ thoughts_ or_ concepts_ alone inspired, or were the_ words_ also inspired? |
6038 | Were there not men enough in existence? |
6038 | What are God''s relations to the universe and to men? |
6038 | What bearing has the testimony of Jesus upon the question of His deity? |
6038 | What do we learn from these scriptures regarding the relation of God to this universe, to man, and to all God''s creatures? |
6038 | What does all this mean? |
6038 | What had they to gain by fraud? |
6038 | What is glory? |
6038 | What is meant by the terms_ image_ and_ likeness_? |
6038 | What is meant by"the right hand of God"? |
6038 | What is the end, the final aim of the great whole, that far- off divine event towards which the whole creation moves? |
6038 | What is the end, the final destiny of the individual? |
6038 | What means are used, and what agencies employed to make men holy and conform them into the likeness of Christ? |
6038 | What motive could the apostles have had in perpetrating the story of Christ''s resurrection upon people? |
6038 | What part is inspired, and what part is not? |
6038 | What shall the Christian church say to these things, and what shall be her reply? |
6038 | What takes place when we go to sleep? |
6038 | What was the nature and likeness of Christ''s resurrection body which our resurrection body is to resemble? |
6038 | What would this world be without it? |
6038 | What, then, did these men see? |
6038 | Where did this institution come from? |
6038 | Where did we get this standard of right and wrong? |
6038 | Where is its sacrifice? |
6038 | Who are those"in the presence of the angels of God"? |
6038 | Who can give this power that is strong enough to make even demons obey? |
6038 | Who can tell? |
6038 | Who dared change it? |
6038 | Who has a right to command my life? |
6038 | Who is this that dares to set Himself up as superior to Moses and the law of Moses, by saying,"But_ I_ say unto you"? |
6038 | Who is to be the judge of so vital a question? |
6038 | Who made is obligatory? |
6038 | Who shall put it away? |
6038 | Why can not both things be included? |
6038 | Why create a new being for such a purpose? |
6038 | Why did not the Master explain what he meant by the figurative word"fire"? |
6038 | Why not make a guilty, and not an absolutely innocent and guileless man such an example of God''s displeasure upon sin? |
6038 | Why should He be God- forsaken in that crucial hour? |
6038 | Why stumble over the limitation of this attribute and not over the others? |
6038 | Why then mention this eternal aspect of adoption? |
6038 | Why then should such a comforting and helpful doctrine as this be spoken against? |
6038 | Why then, if faith is the work of the Godhead, are we responsible for not having it? |
6038 | Would not these passages rebel against such tautological and meaningless usage? |
6038 | Would that sound right? |
6038 | Would they have sacrificed their lives for what they themselves believed to be an imposture? |
6038 | Zion or Gerizim? |
6038 | [ NOTE: Does this throw any light on the matter of recognition in heaven? |
6038 | _ In general:_ Job 11:7, 8--"Canst thou by searching find out God? |
6038 | but"How much can I believe?" |
6038 | but, What shall I do with Jesus, which is called Christ? |

6038 | or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? |
6038 | was I ever wo nt to do so unto thee? |
55575 | Because Christians were not familiar with it? 55575 Is it,"to use his own words,"worth while to heap up the disproof of a thesis so manifestly idle?" |
55575 | Joshua is apparently[ why this qualification?] 55575 Lord, dost Thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" |
55575 | Why,he asks,"was this Jesus cult originally secret, and expressed in such guarded parabolic terms as made it unintelligible to the multitude?" |
55575 | Why? |
55575 | ( Jesus) Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?" |
55575 | ( i.e., life in the kingdom to come)--the answer:"Why callest thou me good? |
55575 | And as, according to Drews, he was so interested in fruitfulness and foreskins, why not suppose he was a Priapic god? |
55575 | And he said unto him, What things? |
55575 | And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? |
55575 | And his sisters, are they not all with us?" |
55575 | And what does it amount to? |
55575 | And what has Jerusalem to do with Dodona? |
55575 | And where did he discover that Jesus was represented as Fishes in Art and Lore? |
55575 | And why should they eke out their plot with a thousand scraps of pagan mythology? |
55575 | And, after all, were statues of Osiris so plentiful in Jerusalem, where the sight even of a Roman eagle aroused a riot? |
55575 | Are they Israelites? |
55575 | Are they all Mithraic? |
55575 | Are they ministers of Christ? |
55575 | Are they the seed of Abraham? |
55575 | As he took the Israelites dryshod over the Jordan, why have they not made a River- god of him? |
55575 | But as it is you have abandoned God and put your trust in man, so what further hope is left to you of salvation? |
55575 | But how about the prostitute; and how about the entry into Erech? |
55575 | But is it worth while to heap up the disproof of a thesis so manifestly idle?" |
55575 | But what, we still ask, is the Gospel counterpart to the honours heaped by Gilgamesch on Eabani? |
55575 | But where did the play come from? |
55575 | But, if so, what Jew, we ask, ever heard of a God called Jeshua or Joshua? |
55575 | By adding it before"thing"he creates additional nonsense; for how could any but a good action merit eternal life? |
55575 | By what channels did it reach them? |
55575 | CHAPTER II PAGAN MYSTERY PLAYS[ Is Mark''s Gospel a religious romance?] |
55575 | Could texts be treated with greater levity? |
55575 | Could they there have given themselves up to the study of pagan statuary, art, and ritual dramas? |
55575 | Did Jesus in his physical body go up like a balloon before the eyes of the faithful, and disappear behind a cloud, or did he not? |
55575 | Did all these people, we may ask, including his mother, stand in a merely spiritual relationship to Jesus? |
55575 | Did they at the time, or afterwards, set any such interpretation on the story of his rising up from the ground like an airship or an exhalation? |
55575 | Do we not here get a glimpse of an early stage of the story of Jesus before it was overlaid with miracles? |
55575 | Does Mr. Robertson claim to know the reasons of their symbolism better than they did themselves? |
55575 | Does he mean that the legend is no more than"a certain way of expressing moral ideas rooted in human thought"? |
55575 | Does he, too, mean merely to"denote religious relation without the remotest hint of blood kinship"? |
55575 | Does not this mean that a cult of Jesus already existed before this myth was added, and that the myth is absent in the earliest documents of the cult? |
55575 | Even if the story of the Twelve be legendary, need we go outside Judaism for our explanation of its origin? |
55575 | For example, what have the Zodiacal signs and the Apostles of Jesus in common except the number twelve? |
55575 | Gardner and Carpenter] Dr. Gardner, who here lies under a special spell of absurdity? |
55575 | Has the Latin wine- god a single trait in common with the Christian founder? |
55575 | Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?" |
55575 | How are these lacunæ of the Gospel story to be filled in? |
55575 | How can it possibly be defended to- day on grounds of symbolism, or on any other? |
55575 | How can writers who end their record of Jesus by telling us how in the moment of death he cried,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
55575 | How could he, inasmuch as he had stayed with them at Jerusalem? |
55575 | How could so late a myth influence or form part of a tradition three centuries older than itself? |
55575 | How could there be, seeing that the book was not penned( except on Van Manen''s hypothesis) until long after the Epistles had been written and sent? |
55575 | How did these gentlemen get it into their heads that he was a Sun- god? |
55575 | How do Mr. Robertson and his friends get round all this evidence? |
55575 | How does Mr. Robertson get rid of their evidence? |
55575 | How, indeed, could he be, seeing that Jesus is a Sun- god crucified upon the Milky Way? |
55575 | If Jesus was only a myth, how could this writer have written, probably before A.D. 70, that he was of the tribe of Judah? |
55575 | If he believes in such a miracle, why expatiate on the symbolism of all the acts of Jesus subsequent to his resurrection? |
55575 | If he obviously believed it, then how did his error arise? |
55575 | If he should seem to have made it without himself believing it, then we ask, Why did he wish to deceive his reader? |
55575 | If the legend was part of the earliest tradition, why does it figure for the first time in the late Third Gospel and in a late addition to the first? |
55575 | If the reading of Mark be not original, how came Luke to copy it from him? |
55575 | If they had so excellent a legend of Bacchus on his asses crossing a marsh, why not be content with it? |
55575 | If we deny all authenticity to Jesus''s teaching, what of Solon''s traditional lore? |
55575 | If we found ourselves in such case, would we not think we were bewitched, and take to our heels? |
55575 | In Matthew, however( xix, 16), we read as follows:"Behold, one came to him and said: Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? |
55575 | In a word, why should such connoisseurs of paganism have disguised themselves as monotheistic and messianic Jews? |
55575 | In any case, may not Christian story have fixed the number of Apostles at twelve in view of the tribes being twelve? |
55575 | In other words, Simson, or Samson, left a corpse behind him( who does not? |
55575 | Is he not the spiritual guide of learned German orientalists like Winckler and Jensen? |
55575 | Is he, too, afraid of being regarded as a"tell- tale"( p. 48)? |
55575 | Is it credible in the face of such facts that the authors we are criticizing should turn this Joshua, too, into a solar god? |
55575 | Is it not as clear as daylight that he was the survival of a pre- Platonic Apollo myth? |
55575 | Is not Mr. Smith attributing his own feelings, as he sat in a Sunday school, to Jews and Gentiles of the first century? |
55575 | Is not his mother called Mary? |
55575 | Is not this enough? |
55575 | Is that the way the sublimist of teachers would found the new and true religion?" |
55575 | Lastly, what had Bacchus to do with Jesus? |
55575 | Let Professor W. B. Smith speak:"What was the essence, the central idea and active principle, of the cult itself?" |
55575 | Little girl:"Then how did you come to hear all about it?" |
55575 | May we welcome his insistence on its moral symbolism as a prelude to his abandonment of the literal truth of the tale? |
55575 | Might I suggest the addition of the god Thor to the collection of gospel aliases? |
55575 | Might he not have reflected that then, as now, there was no other way of entering Jerusalem unless you went on foot? |
55575 | Now what Christian writer ever made this rapprochement? |
55575 | Now what had Speusippus to tell? |
55575 | Now who had commissioned these three apostles, if not Jesus? |
55575 | Of a Jesus that is God from the first it is perhaps natural to ask-- anyhow our authors have asked it of themselves-- which God was he? |
55575 | Of what Patriarch? |
55575 | Or are we to suppose that all these things were related in the Sun- god Joshua legend? |
55575 | Or is it Pilatus who stabs Orion? |
55575 | Secondly, what evidence is there that Pilatus could mean the"javelin- man"for the earliest generations of Roman Christians? |
55575 | Since when, I would like to know, did we need such evidence against that legend? |
55575 | Such references could be multiplied; are they all Osirian? |
55575 | The Rock- Tomb] Why was Jesus buried in a rock- tomb? |
55575 | Thirdly, what evidence is there that Pilatus could mean a javelin- man even to a Latin? |
55575 | This apart, the Second and Third Gospels may be said to agree in reading,"Good master,"and,"Why callest thou me good?" |
55575 | This being so, is it likely that any Jewish community would keep up even the simulacrum of such rites? |
55575 | Unless he regards this later Joshua also as a divine figure, and no mere man of flesh and blood, why does he thus drag him into his argument? |
55575 | Was Jordan, too, up in heaven? |
55575 | Was ever such a god known of or worshipped in the tribe of Ephraim or in Israel at large? |
55575 | Was it entirely appropriate for these mystic devotees to encourage the use of demonological terminology, when they meant something quite else? |
55575 | Was it necessary to concoct human pedigrees for a solar myth, and to pretend that Jacob begat Joseph, and Joseph begat Jesus? |
55575 | Was the deception necessary? |
55575 | Was there ever an author so hopelessly uncritical in his methods? |
55575 | We ask of Mr. Smith, why was so much mystification necessary? |
55575 | We naturally ask, Were the twelve tribes of Israel equally representative of the Zodiac? |
55575 | Were not other sources of recent Roman history available for Tacitus? |
55575 | Were the Essenes there also? |
55575 | Were the Pharisees and Sadducees, the Scribes, or the Sicarii or zealots, secret sects? |
55575 | Were they likely to fashion a tale of a Messianic triumph out of Gentile myths? |
55575 | Were they, too, mere"earnest Messianists, zealots of obedience"? |
55575 | Were they, too, only spiritually related to him? |
55575 | Were they, too,"earnest Messianists, zealots of obedience"? |
55575 | What better proof could we have than this citation of the fact that they servilely adopted the traditions of Jesus recorded in the Gospels? |
55575 | What clues has he? |
55575 | What evidence that such a myth ever existed at all? |
55575 | What has Bacchus''s choice of one ass to ride on in common with Matthew''s literary deformation, according to which Jesus rode on two asses at once? |
55575 | What has Mr. Robertson to say about it? |
55575 | What inspired it? |
55575 | What is the meaning of these wheels within wheels, that hardly hunt together? |
55575 | What its germ? |
55575 | What on earth were the Nazarenes doing to publish a Gospel like this, and so let the cat out of the bag? |
55575 | What right has he to argue as if he had the whole of it in the hollow of his hand? |
55575 | What, again, do we know of secret societies in Jerusalem? |
55575 | What, again, have the three Maries in common with the Greek Moirai except the number three and a delusive community of sound? |
55575 | What, asks Professor Smith( Ecce Deus, p. 67), was the active principle of Christianity? |
55575 | When Josephus, again, alludes to"James the Just who was brother of Jesus,"is he, an enemy of the Christian faith, adopting Christian slang? |
55575 | Where could they see such statuary in or about Jerusalem? |
55575 | Where is the proof that such a god was ever heard of in ancient Palestine, either early or late, or that such a cult ever existed? |
55575 | Who ever heard before them of a Jewish cult of a Sun- God- Saviour Joshua? |
55575 | Who ever in that age felt the name Jesus to be grand, comforting, uplifting? |
55575 | Who had taught them about the Kingdom and sent them forth to proclaim it? |
55575 | Who were the seven? |
55575 | Why are no warnings against polytheism put into the mouth of Jesus? |
55575 | Why carry coals to Newcastle on so huge a scale? |
55575 | Why could not Dr. Jensen consult Dr. Drews"as to the real spiritual nature"of John the Baptist? |
55575 | Why could they not have asked one of the priests of Osiris, who as a rule might be found in the neighbourhood of his statues, what the emblem meant? |
55575 | Why could they not rest content with him as they found him in their ancient tradition? |
55575 | Why did Peter deny Jesus? |
55575 | Why did they do it? |
55575 | Why does he shut his eyes to them, and gibe perpetually at the critical students who attach weight to them? |
55575 | Why from the very first did the followers of Jesus entertain what Mr. Smith denounces as"an a priori concept of the Jesus"( p. 35)? |
55575 | Why give up at the eleventh hour the astral explanation for an utterly different one? |
55575 | Why has the fact of his unreality, as these writers argue it, left no trace of itself in Christian tradition and literature? |
55575 | Why is he sure that the Nazarenes, and after them the earliest Christians, were a secret society with a secret cult? |
55575 | Why is not a single precept of the Sermon on the Mount directed against idolatry? |
55575 | Why not have both in the case of Jesus, to whose real life and subsequent deification the Augusti and the Pharaohs offer a remarkable parallel? |
55575 | Why on the occasion in question did Jesus make a scourge of cords with which to drive the sheep and oxen out of the Temple? |
55575 | Why should there be? |
55575 | Why should worshippers of Serapis have been regarded as specially vicious by the Roman mob? |
55575 | Why so, when they knew that from the first he was a God and up in heaven? |
55575 | Why so? |
55575 | Why trouble to utter these documents in which Jesus"reappears as a natural man,"long after the sect as a whole were committed to the miraculous birth? |
55575 | Why was Jesus crucified? |
55575 | Why were they at such pains to transform it into the story of a Galilean Messiah crucified by the Roman Governor of Judæa? |
55575 | Why, in other words, were they convinced from the beginning that he was a man of flesh and blood, who had lived on earth among them? |
55575 | Why, then, did they call their sublime deity by the name of Jesus? |
55575 | Why, then, reject the view that Jesus chose twelve apostles because there were twelve tribes? |
55575 | Why, then, should they have had their central myth of the crucifixion in a Latin form? |
55575 | Why, therefore, go out of the way to attribute the tale to the influence of a legend of Bacchus, so multiplying empty hypotheses? |
55575 | Why? |
55575 | Would Mr. Smith on that account dispute their authenticity? |
55575 | Would any sane person doubt that there was a substratum of fact and real history underlying them all? |
55575 | Would it not be simpler, in the end, to tell people frankly that a legend is only a legend? |

12624 | And when they saw Him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto Him, Son, why has thou thus dealt with us? 12624 Are there no limits to the demands of God upon us,"we sometimes despairingly ask? |
12624 | Lulley,she said and sung also,"My own dear Son, why are Thou wo? |
12624 | My sweete Son, Thou art me dear, Oh why have men hanged thee here? 12624 What,"it is asked,"is to be done? |
12624 | Who is this Jesus of Nazareth Whom ye preach? 12624 Why not,"ask certain people who have not thought out the meaning of Catholic dogma,"why not go at once to our Lord; why go in this roundabout way?" |
12624 | Alas, my dear Son, what means all this?" |
12624 | And Mary, the Mother? |
12624 | And as we go through our self- examination one of the most profitable questions we can ask is,"What do I love?" |
12624 | And can not we get the same attitude toward life? |
12624 | And can we for a moment think that the years of intercourse with our Lady meant nothing in the spiritual development of S. John? |
12624 | And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? |
12624 | And how else than as Queen of the heavenly host should we expect her to be represented? |
12624 | And how have we guarded this Presence? |
12624 | And if it does not, what am I going to do about it? |
12624 | And is not that just what we are constantly doing, and what constitutes the most pressing danger of the spiritual life? |
12624 | And shall we find there on the Way of Sorrow the virtues that are the opposite of the Seven Sins? |
12624 | And then came the demand for a review; that we look our practice squarely in the face and ask,"What is the ground of this? |
12624 | And then the question arises: What is the bearing of all that on my personal practice? |
12624 | And to his insolent question,"Why should I suffer in an intolerable situation?" |
12624 | And we have seen there, or we may see, may we not? |
12624 | And what about the last of the deadly sins, the sin of sloth? |
12624 | And what are we to understand Him to mean? |
12624 | And what can be the meaning of calling such a life useless to the world? |
12624 | And what have we to counteract the depression which is the natural reaction from the spectacle of the world- rejection of Christ? |
12624 | And what was S. Mary''s own attitude toward the announcement of the Angel? |
12624 | And what was the result? |
12624 | And when we ask,"What is the purpose of this?" |
12624 | And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? |
12624 | Any sane person recognises that; but does the same person recognise the sane principle as applying in his own life? |
12624 | Apart from the waste of time due to attempting the impossible, what would be gained? |
12624 | Are there no limits to the methods by which business is to be pushed, except legal limits? |
12624 | Are they in fact spiritual? |
12624 | Are they those who deny the legitimacy of invocation, or those in whose religious practise it holds an important and vital place? |
12624 | Are we devoted to the aim of manifesting the glory of God and finishing the work that He has given us to do? |
12624 | Are we not bound to stand by the Lord''s day? |
12624 | Are we not quite safe in the case of S. Mary in the deduction from the nature of her vocation of the spiritual perfection to attribute to her? |
12624 | Are we to be made lax by silly talk about puritanism? |
12624 | Are we to be taken in by talk of hard work during the week and consequent need of rest? |
12624 | Are we to remain quiescent, or are we to make the attempt to generate moral force? |
12624 | Are we to think of these stories as containing any grain of truth? |
12624 | Are you not, in fact, neglecting your duty in not changing it? |
12624 | But are we to think of the death of a child as a disaster? |
12624 | But can we say that they have very wide or real acknowledgment? |
12624 | But death? |
12624 | But go back to the men and women whose sole interest is amusement-- how do they live? |
12624 | But have we all learned to use these hours so that we may be ready to meet the hours of testing which shall surely come? |
12624 | But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? |
12624 | But how can Christendom generate any more moral force? |
12624 | But in our own Communion do we get any strong protest in favour of the sanctity of the day? |
12624 | But is anything actually saved by this sort of compromise? |
12624 | But is that the really horrifying thing about the Passion of our Lord? |
12624 | But is this true, to keep to a specific example, of the Blessed Virgin Mary? |
12624 | But just wherein does the dying of Christ become an example for us? |
12624 | But we feel, do we not? |
12624 | But what constitutes good will in a man? |
12624 | But what does this exemption from the common lot of men actually mean? |
12624 | But who, precisely, is to make the offering? |
12624 | But why not think of it as consummation? |
12624 | Can we imagine any more wonderful expression of the life of holiness to which we are called than that? |
12624 | Can we think that when in answer to our invocation she presents our prayers in union with her own, that love will fail? |
12624 | Did she remain there, or did she follow S. John, and at length come to live with him in Ephesus? |
12624 | Did they think that He had mistaken the caravan and been carried off in some other direction and was lost to them forever? |
12624 | Did they think that Jesus would be caught by the life of the Passover crowds that filled the streets of Jerusalem? |
12624 | Did they think that it would be a child''s curiosity which would hold him fascinated with the glittering toys of the bazaars? |
12624 | Do I see that it is quite possible that I may be wholly wrong, and that I am hindered by pride from reversing my attitude?" |
12624 | Do they believe in immortality? |
12624 | Do we give only when we are asked? |
12624 | Do we not feel that in S. John the mother has been committed to our love and care? |
12624 | Do we not feel that in S. John we have been recommended to the love and care of Mary who is our mother? |
12624 | Do we not often feel that something must be true far in advance of our ability to prove it so? |
12624 | Do we prefer to be anonymous? |
12624 | Do we put the spiritual interests of humanity first? |
12624 | Do we spend them in guarding the Presence? |
12624 | Do we yield to spectacular appeals or only to those that we have examined and found good? |
12624 | Do you not know that being busy is one of the most effective screens that you can put between your conscience and your obligation? |
12624 | Do you think that it is wrong to do this or that? |
12624 | Does it correspond with the teaching of Scripture and of the Catholic Church? |
12624 | Does not God''s use of a person imply qualities in the person used? |
12624 | Does she not represent us in one way and S. John represent us in another, in this supreme exchange of love? |
12624 | For how should there be peace in any world on any other terms? |
12624 | Had they so utterly misunderstood and misinterpreted Christ that this is the natural outcome of His movement? |
12624 | Has any actual victory redounded to the Prince of Power of the Air? |
12624 | Has humanity been permanently affected by the resumption of it by God in the resurrection? |
12624 | Has the Anglican"sanity and reserve"in regard to the Blessed Virgin Mary saved the Anglican Church from the inroads of unitarianism and rationalism? |
12624 | Has there anything been found in the way of evidence, we ask, which reflects upon the truth of the story in S. Luke? |
12624 | Has there at any time been any official action of the Anglican Church to limit my acceptance of the historic Faith? |
12624 | Has there never been any true spiritual discipline, but only a certain superficial conformity to a spiritual rule? |
12624 | Have I not done as I should do? |
12624 | Have I only a collection of prejudices there where I supposed that I had a collection of settled truths? |
12624 | Have I settled a practice for myself to which I am subjecting the teaching of the Bible and the Church? |
12624 | Have mothers no longer any sense of the value of purity? |
12624 | Have they heard the message of the first Easter morning, the angelic announcement of the resurrection of Christ? |
12624 | Have we been cold to her, and inappreciative of her love? |
12624 | Have we felt that we have no need of her in the conduct of our lives? |
12624 | Have we mastered the technique of the Christian life sufficiently to be single- eyed and pure- hearted in our pursuit of life''s ends? |
12624 | Have we taken up the Cross to go after Him, or are we assuming that we can just as well drift along with the crowd of those who only look on? |
12624 | How are_ we_ affected? |
12624 | How can one love and serve a Jesus whom one has lost? |
12624 | How can there be peace for those who are in rebellion against God? |
12624 | How could he do this? |
12624 | How escape? |
12624 | How long did she live? |
12624 | How many of you, for example, make your confessions and communions with the frequency and regularity that your theory about the sacraments implies? |
12624 | How shall we attain it? |
12624 | How should your flesh be reduced to dust and ashes who, by the Son born of you, have delivered the human race from the corruption of death?" |
12624 | How? |
12624 | I have so often heard people say, when the practice of invocation of saints was urged: Why ask the saints? |
12624 | I wonder if we force our meaning on the Bible or if we are trying to find therein new stimulus to action? |
12624 | I wonder if we have got a religious practice which is settled or one that is continually expanding? |
12624 | I wonder if we have wholly got beyond that point of view? |
12624 | III Why should I any love, O Queen, but thee, If favor past a thankful love should breed? |
12624 | If he be God and wills goodness, why does He not execute goodness, use power to accomplish it?" |
12624 | If one asks:"What is likely to happen if one does not imitate this life, but prefers some more modern type of usefulness?" |
12624 | If two people find that they have blundered, are they to go on indefinitely suffering from the result of their blunder? |
12624 | If we ask:"Why hope?" |
12624 | In our self examination, in our approach to the sacrament of penance, we are compelled to ask ourselves, Am I in fact sorry for my sins? |
12624 | Is it a fact any more conceivable that the virgin Mother of God should be born in original sin than that she should be the victim of actual sin? |
12624 | Is it in Churches where devotion to our Lady is suppressed? |
12624 | Is it not possible for us to have our share in that pure insight of blessed Mary? |
12624 | Is it not precisely in those circles where the very virginity of our Lady is denied that the divinity of our Lord is denied also? |
12624 | Is it that He appears and disappears so strangely, not coming any longer to be with them in the old way, with the old familiar intercourse? |
12624 | Is not that an illuminating phrase when we think of our relation to our Lord? |
12624 | Is not the life that shuts out from itself the society of heaven pitifully impoverished? |
12624 | Is sanctity then, or the possibility of it, shut within the narrow limits of a poor life? |
12624 | Is there a right method? |
12624 | Is there any appreciable amount of quiet spontaneous giving which is known to no one? |
12624 | Is there any sense in which we can be said to be following our Lord on the Sorrowful Way? |
12624 | Is there no falling away, no compromise, there? |
12624 | Is there, in fact, some peculiar and limited form of Christianity to which I owe allegiance?" |
12624 | It came to those primitive congregations, you remember, to which S. Peter was writing;"Where is the promise of his coming? |
12624 | It is not at all surprising that in the end they drop religion altogether, as why should one keep on travelling a road that leads nowhere? |
12624 | It is often so, is it not? |
12624 | It is quite pointless in times of great social distress to ask passionately,"why does not God make a better world?" |
12624 | It is true, is it not? |
12624 | It is true, is it not? |
12624 | Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
12624 | Know ye not that I must be in my Father''s house? |
12624 | Know ye not that I must be in my Father''s house?" |
12624 | Love is a passion consuming her being-- what can the attendant circumstances matter? |
12624 | MARY: Ever I cried full piteously:"Lordings, what have ye i- brought? |
12624 | MARY:"I ask thee, Maudeleyn, where is that place,-- In plain or valley or in hill? |
12624 | Men look out on a world seething with unrest and filled with injustice, and they turn upon the Church and ask,"Why have you not changed all this? |
12624 | Naturally, one can not carry on an unsuccessful business, but need it be success by all means and to all extents? |
12624 | O my divine Son, is not this your opportunity, your"hour"? |
12624 | Of what energy? |
12624 | On the basis of our present effort can we, ought we, to have more than we have? |
12624 | Once more: is it not true that after a period of honest labour I do find results? |
12624 | One great trouble, is it not? |
12624 | One is often tempted to ask as one hears people talking of death:"Are these Christians? |
12624 | Or am I alert to see a contrast or a contradiction between my practice and the teaching of the Bible and the Church, if such exist? |
12624 | Or have they simply abandoned all responsibility that normally goes with being a mother? |
12624 | Our pressing question is, what difference has that made to us? |
12624 | PART TWO CHAPTER XII THE TEMPLE And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? |
12624 | PART TWO CHAPTER XV WHO IS MY MOTHER? |
12624 | Perhaps not all that I would like but all that I am justified in expecting from the energy I have spent? |
12624 | She would be with S. John as long as she lived, but can we think of her as living long? |
12624 | Should I let Him hangen there Let my Son alone then be? |
12624 | Should I see men mine own Son slay? |
12624 | Suppose when some pious soul comes to me and asks me if I will not pray for a sick child, or a friend at sea, I were to reply:"Why come to me? |
12624 | That gold and incense should be offered a King is clearly His royal right; but what has he to do with the bitterness of myrrh? |
12624 | That which S. Elizabeth spoke under divine impulse,--"Whence is this that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" |
12624 | The answer to our question is itself a perfectly simple one, as simple as would be the answer to the question:"Do you speak French?" |
12624 | The only question which is at all to the point is,"why has God not made_ me_ better?" |
12624 | The question which is becoming more urgent everywhere is, What are the women of the future to be,--the daughters of Eve, or the daughters of Mary? |
12624 | The question,"Must I do this?" |
12624 | Then why not give way now, to- night? |
12624 | This final surrender to the Father of a will that had never been separate from the Father,--what can we derive from all that? |
12624 | This is no doubt a unique vocation, but is it quite so far separated from ordinary Christian experience as we assume? |
12624 | This is the common case of the young whether boy or girl to- day, and the practical question is, Can they endure the isolation? |
12624 | Those few moments after the reception of our Incarnate Lord at the altar-- how do we habitually spend them? |
12624 | Thy head is closed with a brier, O why have men so done to Thee?" |
12624 | To the protest of parents that they are incompetent to conduct such training, the only possible reply is a blunt,"Whose fault is that?" |
12624 | To whom would Mary look? |
12624 | True, but is the adherence of the Church to its statements perfectly plain? |
12624 | WHO IS MY MOTHER? |
12624 | Was a new faith at any time introduced? |
12624 | Was it at all likely that the Jewish authorities having disposed of the leader in a dangerous movement would be content to let the followers go free? |
12624 | Was it then possible that she should be holden by death? |
12624 | Was that a light thing: Was it indeed so much less than the vocation of S. Joseph? |
12624 | We are back therefore where we started: What are our supreme ends? |
12624 | We feel, do we not? |
12624 | We know, do we not? |
12624 | We place ourselves in the group that surrounds our Lord when the soldiers, led by Judas, come, and ask ourselves shall I too run away? |
12624 | We tend, do we not? |
12624 | What did it mean, this resurrection of Jesus? |
12624 | What do you mean by this ceremony? |
12624 | What does He mean?" |
12624 | What does the Church teaching as to sanctity imply? |
12624 | What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
12624 | What in fact is it that you mean by worship?" |
12624 | What is the status of the priest? |
12624 | What is the trouble? |
12624 | What is there about her life that suggests weakness? |
12624 | What is there to appeal on the other side? |
12624 | What sort of a front is the church presenting to the world, what sort of moral influence is it exercising? |
12624 | What sort of character- development has so far been going on? |
12624 | What then do we mean by original sin? |
12624 | What to do? |
12624 | What voice can sing This mystery, or Cherub''s wing Lend from his golden stock a pen To write, how Heaven came down to men? |
12624 | What was S. Joseph''s attitude? |
12624 | What was to be done? |
12624 | When in response to their preaching men asked the question:"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
12624 | When one asks:"Why should I imitate this life which, however good in an abstract way, is not very harmonious with the ideals of society at present?" |
12624 | When such things are pointed out from the pulpit the"practical man"says:"What would become of the Church were it not for the rich and the successful?" |
12624 | When we ask what this congregation is, what is the answer? |
12624 | When we ask, why is there such a feeling? |
12624 | Where did she live? |
12624 | Where to- day is the Deity of our Lord defended most ardently and devotion to Him most wide spread? |
12624 | Who is shee that adorned with light, Makes the sunne her robe, At whose feete the queene of night Layes her changing globe? |
12624 | Whoe is shee that assends so high Next the heavenlye Kinge, Round about whome angells flie And her prayses singe? |
12624 | Why after Bethlehem, Egypt? |
12624 | Why after Gabriel, Herod? |
12624 | Why could they not talk about the Mission that has just been held, or the Quiet Day that is in prospect? |
12624 | Why do you keep this day? |
12624 | Why in this roundabout way ask me to pray? |
12624 | Why is this? |
12624 | Why not get a bigger notion of God than that of a mechanician running a machine, and think of Him as a Person dealing with persons? |
12624 | Why not go directly to God? |
12624 | Why not go directly to God?" |
12624 | Why not in an humble spirit observe how God does act? |
12624 | Why not pursue the same method in religion? |
12624 | Why not think of it as setting the seal of God''s approval upon our accomplishment of His will and purpose for us? |
12624 | Why not? |
12624 | Why reject as incredible the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection? |
12624 | Why start by saying,"Miracles do not happen?" |
12624 | Why then should it not ensure spiritual bankruptcy? |
12624 | Why was this? |
12624 | With this conception of power in mind men are continually asking:"Why does not God do this or that? |
12624 | Would not a great love draw her to another world and the presence of her triumphant Son? |
12624 | Would they not rather seek to wipe out the last traces of the movement in blood? |
12624 | and who are my brethren? |
12624 | or why throw about the ceremony the suggestions of a sacrament? |
12624 | that the coming of the child brought enrichment into the life of its parents? |

17147 | And choice in virtue of what? |
17147 | And could not the Christian alliance be cemented by theological agreement? |
17147 | And is it not most often necessary that a little evil render the good more discernible, that is to say, greater? |
17147 | And is not an irrefutable argument a_ demonstration_? |

17147 | Be it so, but does it follow that there is as much reality and force in each of the two? |
17147 | But I ask you, what else is the permission of him who is entitled to forbid, or rather who has the thing in his own hands, but an act of will?'' |
17147 | But are they? |
17147 | But can they any better conceive how the power of God is capable of stirring a straw?'' |
17147 | But could God himself( it will be said) then change nothing in the world? |
17147 | But does physical good lie solely in pleasure? |
17147 | But how is it possible for it to be said that there is no good or evil in the ideas before the operation of God''s will? |
17147 | But if I am free to give these six degrees of goodness to the object, am I not permitted to give it more goodness? |
17147 | But if so, why does Leibniz keep saying that the harmony is_ pre- established_, by special and infinitely elaborate divine decrees? |
17147 | But if that is so, why shall we not give to the object all the goodness conceivable? |
17147 | But in so applying the scheme of choice to God''s act, have we not invalidated its application to our own? |
17147 | But in this case, would it be proper for God to grant it to all, that is, always to act miraculously in respect of all rational creatures? |
17147 | But is it not better, notwithstanding, that health should be usual and sickness the exception? |
17147 | But of what is the environment of each made up? |
17147 | But should he? |
17147 | But someone will say to me: why speak you to us of''permitting''? |
17147 | But someone will say, why did not God refrain from producing things, rather than make imperfect things? |
17147 | But then again, how can we take it seriously? |
17147 | But this objection is exactly as if I were to ask why a father of a family does not give himself gold when he has need thereof? |
17147 | But what sort of a theology? |
17147 | But what then will Sextus say? |
17147 | But whence came Leibniz''s more strictly metaphysical objections? |
17147 | But whence comes this new election? |
17147 | But who does not see that that only proves a hypothetical impossibility? |
17147 | But( M. Bayle will say) God having power to avert innumerable evils by one small miracle, why did he not employ it? |
17147 | Can I not come to be a good king? |
17147 | Can he commit so many crimes? |
17147 | Can he have so many evil tendencies? |
17147 | Can one believe it? |
17147 | Can one conclude from this that the State has no anxiety about this irregularity, or even that it desires it? |
17147 | Can one form any falser notions of a universal providence? |
17147 | Can one, then, leave it or give it to another? |
17147 | Can supreme goodness produce an unhappy creature? |
17147 | Can they also both exist? |
17147 | Can we adapt our scheme of choice to the description of God''s creative decrees? |
17147 | Certe Deus ipse numquid quia peccare non potest, ideo liberum arbitrium habere negandus est?'' |
17147 | Choice between what? |
17147 | Could I have resisted his will? |
17147 | Could Sextus reply: It is you who are the cause, O Apollo; you compel me to do it, by foreseeing it? |
17147 | Could he not have established others of a kind not subject to any defects? |
17147 | Could not the Christian princes sink their differences and unite against the infidel? |
17147 | Do men relish health enough, or thank God enough for it, without having ever been sick? |
17147 | Do not the Thomists say, that there are as many species as individuals in angelic nature?'' |
17147 | Do we not see that all these advantages or disadvantages spring from the idea of the thing, and that the contrary would imply contradiction? |
17147 | Do we say then that these things are not because the common herd does not know of them? |
17147 | Do you consider such a faculty, sir, to be the richest present God can have made to man, and the sole instrument of our happiness? |
17147 | Does it also come from mere indifference? |
17147 | Does our authority over our ideas more often fall short than our authority over our volitions? |
17147 | Does the internal and active virtue communicated to the forms of bodies according to M. Leibniz know the train of actions which it is to produce? |
17147 | Does the will of God form the ideas which are in his understanding? |
17147 | For can I know and can I present infinities to you and compare them together? |
17147 | For if the soul is perfectly indifferent in its choice how is it possible to foresee this choice? |
17147 | For what foundation can God have for seeing what the people of Keilah would do? |
17147 | For what other legitimate reason for rejecting an opinion can one find, if an invincible opposing argument is not such an one? |
17147 | For what possibility is there of giving these six degrees of goodness to the object? |
17147 | For who hath resisted his will? |
17147 | For why should the law of justice, which states that reasonable promises must be kept, be more inviolable for him than any other laws? |
17147 | Have they less bodily suffering? |
17147 | Have they less tendency toward true or apparent goods, less fear of true or imaginary evils? |
17147 | He adds fittingly in the same passage:''Qui potest provideri, quicquam futurum esse, quod neque causam habet ullam, neque notam cur futurum sit?'' |
17147 | How could he be a true Protestant who treated the differences with the Catholics as non- essentials? |
17147 | How could he have touched pitch and taken no defilement? |
17147 | How do we know that? |
17147 | How does it do that? |
17147 | How many of these rudimentary''minds''will there be in my body? |
17147 | How many times do men permit evils which they could prevent if they turned all their efforts in that direction? |
17147 | How then can it be the vehicle and instrument of my conscious soul? |
17147 | How then explain the actual conformity of their mutual representation, without recourse to divine fore- ordaining?'' |
17147 | How then shall we overcome the obstinacy of a Stratonist?'' |
17147 | How, then, shall we understand that he wills to save all men and that he can not do so? |
17147 | I am then not free? |
17147 | If it were others, would there not be the same appearance of evil? |
17147 | If not, where does it come from? |
17147 | If the real universe is what you say it is, why do our minds represent it to us as they do?'' |
17147 | If there is a consciousness attached to human bodies, then why not to systems of clockwork? |
17147 | If they say so, how can they own that Adam sinned? |
17147 | Ignorance, error and malice follow one another naturally in animals made as we are: should this species, then, have been missing in the universe? |
17147 | Is a bee no more essentially one than a swarm is? |
17147 | Is it also something arbitrary, and would he have acted wisely and justly if he had resolved to condemn the innocent? |
17147 | Is it not God that doeth the evil and that willeth it? |
17147 | Is it not rather an obstacle to our felicity? |
17147 | Is it possible, said M. Bayle, that there is no better plan than that one which God carried out? |
17147 | Is it to be desired that God should not be bound to be perfect and happy? |
17147 | Is it without remainder transubstantiated from sheep into dog? |
17147 | Is it? |
17147 | Is not Leibniz the victim of a familiar fallacy, that of incompletely stated alternatives? |
17147 | Is not that recognizing that goodness is the object and the reason of his choice? |
17147 | Is not that true? |
17147 | Is not this much more incomprehensible than the navigation I spoke of in the foregoing paragraph? |
17147 | Is our condition, which renders us liable to fail, worth envying? |
17147 | Is the life of a living animal indistinguishable from the rhythm of a going watch, except in degree of complication and subtlety of contrivance? |
17147 | Is the wholeness of a living thing the mere resultant of the orderly operations of its parts? |
17147 | It is not in my power to follow virtue? |
17147 | It is with regard to them that M. Bayle discusses this question: whether there is more physical evil than physical good in the world? |
17147 | LAUR.--What would you have me do? |
17147 | LAUR.--You innocent? |
17147 | May they not be sufficiently acute to disturb the sage''s tranquillity? |
17147 | Must God spoil his system, must there be less beauty, perfection and reason in the universe, because there are people who misuse reason? |
17147 | Must a drop of oil or of fat understand geometry in order to become round on the surface of water? |
17147 | Next the question is asked: Will God create such and such a thing, and wherefore? |
17147 | On the example of the dog:(_ a_) How should it of itself change its sentiment, since everything left to itself continues in the state in which it is? |
17147 | On the problem, how can the simple act otherwise than uniformly? |
17147 | Or is it to be identified with the activity and fortunes of a single atomic constituent of my body, a single cog in the animal clockwork? |
17147 | Or rather, would not these others be those known as We? |
17147 | Out of the consideration of an infinity of ideas, how can God arrive at a choice? |
17147 | Prudentius in his_ Hamartigenia_ presented the same difficulty:_ Si non vult Deus esse malum, cur non vetat? |
17147 | SEXTUS-- Why must I renounce the hope of a crown? |
17147 | Shall God not give the rain, because there are low- lying places which will be thereby incommoded? |
17147 | Shall not supreme power, united to an infinite goodness, shower blessings upon its work, and shall it not banish all that might offend or grieve?'' |
17147 | Shall the sun not shine as much as it should for the world in general, because there are places which will be too much dried up in consequence? |
17147 | Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus?'' |
17147 | Should we not find it more imperfect and more unhappy than if it had not this freedom of indifference? |
17147 | Someone will say: so much the worse for them; if they know not how to enjoy the advantages of nature and fortune, is that the fault of either? |
17147 | That we are conscious of it, I say, in such a way that we should for ever remain ignorant of the cause of our being if other knowledge did not aid us? |
17147 | The first question will be: Will God create something or not, and wherefore? |
17147 | The question is asked first of all, whence does evil come? |
17147 | The wise mind wills only the good: is it then a servitude when the will acts in accordance with wisdom? |
17147 | The young man will complain: I have brought you a royal gift, O Apollo, and you proclaim for me a lot so unhappy? |
17147 | Then is my soul homeless? |
17147 | Thus why should not one say, equally, that the Mysteries are against our feeble reason, and that they are above our feeble reason?'' |
17147 | To give to a hundred messengers as much money as is needed for a journey of two hundred leagues? |
17147 | To imprison actually ninety- eight of these messengers on the moment of their return? |
17147 | Very well; but does this consideration really drive us into theology? |
17147 | Well, what constitutes the officer an officer? |
17147 | What conclusions have been reached? |
17147 | What happens to the mutton? |
17147 | What is to choose? |
17147 | What material does the finite mind supply for an analogical picture of the infinite mind making choices or decrees? |
17147 | What necessity is there for one always to be aware how that which is done is done? |
17147 | What then constitutes its superiority or dominance, and makes it a mind_ par excellence_? |
17147 | What was Leibniz thinking of when the new principle flashed upon him? |
17147 | What was he_ not_ thinking of? |
17147 | What will become of the consideration of our globe and its inhabitants? |
17147 | What would an intelligent creature do if there were no unintelligent things? |
17147 | What would it think of, if there were neither movement, nor matter, nor sense? |
17147 | What, then, is the relation of the assimilated materials to the dog- form which assimilates them? |
17147 | What, then, shall we say of bodily sufferings? |
17147 | What, then, was to be done? |
17147 | What? |
17147 | Whence comes this distinction, someone will say, and wherefore does his goodness appear to be restricted? |
17147 | Where had he learned that standard of metaphysical adequacy which showed up the inadequacy of the new metaphysicians? |
17147 | Where is, then, his justice[ 60]( people will say), or at the least, where is his goodness? |
17147 | Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?'' |
17147 | Who knows what the ultimate constituents really are? |
17147 | Who shall then say, wherefore hast thou done so?'' |
17147 | Why does he not act without general laws, in accordance with all his power and all his goodness? |
17147 | Why has God established laws that give rise to so many difficulties? |
17147 | Why have you condemned me, O great God, to be wicked and unhappy? |
17147 | Why not allow that there is two- way traffic-- by one relation the mind represents the members, by another the members represent the mind? |
17147 | Why not reverse the relation, and make the members represent the mind as the mind represents the members? |
17147 | Why not? |
17147 | Why shall we not even go as far as twenty- four carats of goodness? |
17147 | Why should he not, then, just as well be the evil principle of the Manichaeans as the single good principle of the orthodox? |
17147 | Why should not a form of conscious life so interact with what would otherwise be dead matter as to''indwell''it? |
17147 | Why should not one go as far as he? |
17147 | Why should not we take this seriously? |
17147 | Why then does he punish me? |
17147 | Why then should one boast of a good action, or why should one be censured for an evil one, if the thanks or blame redounds to fortune or hazard? |
17147 | Why, then, do men not give themselves this indifference( he says), if they are masters in their own house? |
17147 | Will he not break forth into complaints against the Gods? |
17147 | Will he not say? |
17147 | Will it never disturb the correspondence of those changes with the changes of the soul? |
17147 | Will it not be something incomparably less than a physical point, since our earth is as a point in comparison with the distance of some fixed stars? |
17147 | Will there not have been necessity and fatality for Adam to sin? |
17147 | Will you be doubtful whether the will of the latter is less complete than the will of the former? |
17147 | With what regrets would one not be torn, in that case, if the determination made had an ill result? |
17147 | Would Nature then have been less perfect, less wise, less powerful?'' |
17147 | Would it be possible that vice alone had offered him this means? |
17147 | Yet could he have been unaware that there is no possibility of an insuperable objection against truth? |
17147 | _ Dextrum Scylla latus, laevum implacata Charybdis__ Obsidet._ Everything comes back in the end to this: Did Adam sin freely? |
17147 | _ Si Deus est, unde malum? |
17147 | and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?'' |
17147 | and what sufficient reason will one be able to find for the knowledge of a[440] thing, if there is no reason for its existence? |
17147 | less apprehensive? |
17147 | less envious? |
17147 | that in a plane six equal circles may touch a seventh? |
17147 | that of all equal bodies, the sphere has the least surface? |
17147 | that some are more fitted than others for forming battalions, composing polygons and other regular figures? |
17147 | that the number six has the advantage of being the least of all the numbers that are called perfect? |
17147 | that[ 429] certain lines are incommensurable, and consequently ill- adapted for harmony? |
17147 | the God will say, do you mean then that I am a liar? |
17147 | v. 4:''What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? |
17147 | why ants are not peacocks? |
17147 | why has it not four? |
17147 | why should not two have sufficed for it? |
40966 | And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master, and kissed him and Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? 40966 And the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" |
40966 | And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? |
40966 | Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? |
40966 | Doth our law judge any man before it hear him and know what he doeth? |
40966 | Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it again in three days? 40966 Forty- and- six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it again in three days?" |
40966 | Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? 40966 Lord, how is it,"he asked,"that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world?" |
40966 | Then asked he them again, whom seek ye? 40966 Then the high priest rent his clothes and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
40966 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 40966 They said, therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? |
40966 | Whom seek ye? |
40966 | Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? 40966 [ 217] According to Luke, they said:"Who is this man which speaketh blasphemies? |
40966 | [ 226] If the Forerunner of the Messiah did not know, are we justified in demanding perfect prescience and absolute infallibility of Caiaphas? 40966 [ 305] Instead of doing this should he not, under the law, have carefully concealed his opinion until the younger members of the court had voted? |
40966 | [ 335]How long dost thou make us to doubt? |
40966 | _ And when they had blindfolded him_, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, Who is it that smote thee? 40966 _ Why askest thou me? |
40966 | ( 2) Were they the legal developments of an age subsequent to that great event? |
40966 | 14? |
40966 | 15- 20? |
40966 | 53- 65? |
40966 | 5:"When Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?" |
40966 | 67, 68:"And others smote him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?" |
40966 | A caviling criticism would demand: Why ask of the Christ to_ prophesy_ to those in His presence? |
40966 | Accordingly, John whispered and asked the Savior:"Lord, who is it?" |
40966 | Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
40966 | Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
40966 | Again, we pose the question: What was the motive of these men in thus acting, if they were dishonest and insincere? |
40966 | And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves to take me? |
40966 | And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? |
40966 | And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? |
40966 | And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? |
40966 | And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? |
40966 | And first, what evidence could have been offered that Jesus was the Christ, that is, the Messiah? |
40966 | And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? |
40966 | And if he so speaks of the suffering even of the guilty, what must he utter when the righteous is condemned?" |
40966 | And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? |
40966 | And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? |
40966 | And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? |
40966 | And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? |
40966 | And the question may be asked: If Abraham could not recognize Jehovah, who could or can? |
40966 | And they said, What is that to us? |
40966 | And they said, What need we any further witness? |
40966 | And they said, What need we any further witness? |
40966 | And they said, What need we any further witness? |
40966 | And what could be more precipitate than an instantaneous and unanimous verdict? |
40966 | And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? |
40966 | Are the laws of nature invariably uniform? |
40966 | Are these omissions to destroy the merits of all these writers and cause them to be suspected and rejected? |
40966 | Are we not justified in supposing that Judas told the enemies of Jesus much more than this? |
40966 | Are we to reject all three as unreliable historians because of this fact? |
40966 | Are you acquainted with the penalty attached to the crime of perjury? |
40966 | Are you aware that you will be submitted to a most searching examination? |
40966 | At what hour? |
40966 | At what hour? |
40966 | Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? |
40966 | But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? |
40966 | But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? |
40966 | But by what process, we may ask, was the mercenary disposition of Judas converted into hatred against Jesus? |
40966 | But how did they convict under Hebrew law? |
40966 | But is it any argument against the miracles of Jesus that similar ones are not seen to- day? |
40966 | But is this good reasoning? |
40966 | But is this really true? |
40966 | But it may be asked: How do we know that the morning sacrifice was not offered? |
40966 | But that always hitherto the thaumaturgus has chosen the subject of the experiment, chosen the spot, chosen the public? |
40966 | But what about chickens with three legs and snakes with two heads, such as are frequently seen? |
40966 | But what had they heard that constituted blasphemy? |
40966 | But who does not see that no miracle ever took place under these conditions? |
40966 | But who was the examiner-- Annas or Caiaphas? |
40966 | But why ask Philip instead of one of the others? |
40966 | But, instead, the judges, in their total disregard at law, turned to the accused and said:"Answerest thou nothing? |
40966 | But, we may ask, was the performance of miracles by Jesus, if believed by the Sanhedrin, sufficient evidence of the divine origin of Jesus? |
40966 | Can Vice be the mother of Virtue? |
40966 | Can he show that the application of legal tests to their credibility will save them in the eyes of a critical and unbelieving world? |
40966 | Can it not be seen at a glance that the judges voted_ en masse_? |
40966 | Could Spinoza have explained such phenomena by his"natural understanding from the known principles of natural things"? |
40966 | Did he not go to the chief priests to betray his Master unto them? |
40966 | Did it have jurisdiction of the particular offense with which Jesus was charged? |
40966 | Did it not result in the complete destruction of all clearness and certainty? |
40966 | Did not this premature declaration of guilt on the part of the high priest rob the subordinate judges of freedom of suffrage? |
40966 | Did the Great Sanhedrin exist at the time of Christ? |
40966 | Did their bought and corrupted places not brand them with the anathema of the law? |
40966 | Did they intend to tell the truth? |
40966 | Did they not expect what they actually received-- bitter persecution, horrible torture, and cruel death? |
40966 | Did they weigh the whole matter"in the sincerity of their conscience?" |
40966 | Do the Law and the Prophets tell us unmistakably that Jehovah ever appeared upon the earth in human form and exhibited human attributes? |
40966 | Do the facts and law meet and harmonize judicially? |
40966 | Do the facts and law meet, harmonize, blend, according to the latest decision of the court of last resort? |
40966 | Do they blend in legal unison according to the latest decision of the court of last resort? |
40966 | Do they contain a promise from the Father that He would send His Son to the earth to be the Redeemer of men and the Regenerator of the world? |
40966 | Do you identify this person? |
40966 | Do you identify this person? |
40966 | Does not Voltaire, the most brilliant and powerful skeptic that ever lived, corroborate in this particular the biographer of the Christ? |
40966 | Even the betrayer himself joined with the others, and, with inconceivable heartlessness and effrontery, asked:"Lord, is it I?" |
40966 | FULFILLMENT-- And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? |
40966 | For instance, who was St. Peter but Marshal Ney by anticipation? |
40966 | Have things not been done in the past that will never be repeated? |
40966 | He is constantly asking himself these questions: What are the facts of this case? |
40966 | He is continually asking these questions: What are the facts of this case? |
40966 | If I am not guilty of a crime, why am I thus maltreated? |
40966 | If Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are to be repudiated on the ground of bias, why not repudiate Cæsar, Xenophon, and Boswell? |
40966 | If Tissot, Schenck, and Voltaire are to be believed, why should we refuse to believe St. Luke? |
40966 | If he did these things, was he not a"talebearer"within the meaning of the rule? |
40966 | If it existed, was it still a legally constituted court, having jurisdiction to try capital offenses? |
40966 | If the Evangelists were insincere and did not believe their own story, what motive prompted them to tell it, to preach it and to die for it? |
40966 | If these things were not done, were the proceedings regular? |
40966 | If they did, was it possible for the scribes to record the votes and make a note of the reasons assigned, as the law required? |
40966 | If they knew that they were preaching a falsehood, what reward did they expect? |
40966 | If they thus secured their places and prostituted them to selfish purposes, were their robes to be respected any more than the blanket of the ass? |
40966 | If they were present, did they vote against Jesus? |
40966 | If they were, were they legally qualified to be His judges? |
40966 | In this connection, it has been frequently asked: Was the entire Sanhedrin present at the night trial of Jesus? |
40966 | In what month? |
40966 | In what month? |
40966 | In what place? |
40966 | In what place? |
40966 | Is it not a matter of history that the opinion of the high priest was regarded as almost infallible authority among the ancient Hebrews? |
40966 | Is it not clearly evident, from this passage, that the balloting was not done singly, the youngest voting first, as Hebrew law required? |
40966 | Is it not reasonable to infer that the blood- money was paid to secure more evidence than that which would merely lead to the arrest of the Nazarene? |
40966 | Is it possible to imagine a more pointed and pathetic appeal for justice and for the protection of the law against illegality and brutal treatment? |
40966 | Is it possible to suppose that anything less than hatred could have induced Judas to betray the Christ? |
40966 | Is it probable that such a character was painted and such truths proclaimed by dishonest and insincere men? |
40966 | Is it probable, in the light of the record, that witnesses were called for the defendant? |
40966 | It may be asked: What proofs could have been offered that Jesus was"the Christ, the Son of God,"if complete rights of defense had been accorded? |
40966 | It was only necessary now that He repeat His confession, and hence this question is put directly to Him:"Art thou the Christ? |
40966 | Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? |
40966 | Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? |
40966 | Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? |
40966 | Judah is a lion''s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? |
40966 | Now are we justified in assuming that this was the method employed in counting votes at the trial of Jesus? |
40966 | Now at this point we are led to ask: Were these rules applied in the trial of Jesus in any sense either for or against the accused? |
40966 | Now what views, we may ask, did the Sadducees entertain of the possibility of God appearing to men in the flesh? |
40966 | On what day of the month? |
40966 | On what day of the month? |
40966 | Out of this question, two others arise:( 1) Were the rules of criminal law, herein cited, obsolete at the time of the crucifixion? |
40966 | Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? |
40966 | Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? |
40966 | Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? |
40966 | Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? |
40966 | Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? |
40966 | Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? |
40966 | That is, did they tell the truth when they wrote and published these narratives to the world? |
40966 | That is, did they themselves believe what they testified? |
40966 | That is, has Jehovah ever begotten, or has He ever promised to beget, a Son of equal divinity with Himself? |
40966 | That is, were they sincere? |
40966 | The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? |
40966 | The question already raised among the people was this: Has Jesus become God? |
40966 | The question has been frequently asked: Why did the Sanhedrin meet at night in violation of law? |
40966 | The reader may ask: Why did the Jews lead Jesus away to Pilate? |
40966 | Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? |
40966 | Then St. Luke very explicitly explains the nature and manner of the verdict:"Then said they_ all_, Art thou then the Son of God? |
40966 | Then did the Talmudists have a right to declare that the law might be changed or broken in the case of blasphemy? |
40966 | Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? |
40966 | Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? |
40966 | Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? |
40966 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
40966 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
40966 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? |
40966 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken_ blasphemy_; what further need have we of witnesses? |
40966 | Then we are led to ask: Was this the recompense which they sought? |
40966 | Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? |
40966 | They were as follows: Was it during a year of jubilee? |
40966 | Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? |
40966 | This was equivalent to asking: Do you demand that I incriminate myself when our law forbids such a thing? |
40966 | To His reply they only answer by asking,"Art thou then the Son of God?" |
40966 | Was He guilty as charged? |
40966 | Was He guilty as charged? |
40966 | Was He guilty as charged?_ The questions preceding these were secondary, though important. |
40966 | Was any reader of English history ever skeptic enough to raise from hence a question, whether the Marquis of Argyll was executed or not? |
40966 | Was it an ordinary year? |
40966 | Was it in an ordinary year? |
40966 | Was it of an earthly or a heavenly kind? |
40966 | Was nature moving in a fixed and changeless course when these things were created? |
40966 | Was not Judas a talebearer among his people? |
40966 | Was not a fundamental rule of Mosaic law violated? |
40966 | Was this Son to be, or is He to be at any time identical with the Father? |
40966 | Was this Son to be, or is He to be born of a woman; and to have, therefore, the form of a man and the attributes of a human being? |
40966 | Was this done in the case of Jesus? |
40966 | Was this rule observed in framing the accusation against Jesus at the night trial before the Sanhedrin? |
40966 | Was this the process of promotion in the case of Caiaphas and his fellow- judges? |
40966 | We learn this from Mark, who says:"Then the high priest rent his clothes and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
40966 | We may now ask: What was the purpose of this second trial? |
40966 | Were Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea present? |
40966 | Were forms of law duly observed in the trial of the accusation against Him? |
40966 | Were the witnesses honest? |
40966 | Were they legally qualified, then, under the ancient and honorable tests of Hebrew law, to be members of the highest court in the land? |
40966 | Were they looking for heavenly reward? |
40966 | Were they, then, legally qualified to act as His judges? |
40966 | What answers, we may ask, would they have developed to these questions from the Sacred Books? |
40966 | What could be more natural than that the younger man should outrun the older and arrive first at the sepulcher? |
40966 | What facts, we may ask, could Jesus have shown to establish His claims to Messiahship and to Sonship of the Father? |
40966 | What is the law applicable to the facts? |
40966 | What is the law applicable to these facts? |
40966 | What method of procedure should have been employed by the Sanhedrin in investigating His claims? |
40966 | What more exact equality could be asked than the same words suggest? |
40966 | What proofs has he to offer, independent of legal presumption, that the first biographers of the Master were truthful men? |
40966 | What should the judges have done after hearing the witnesses against Him? |
40966 | What stronger proof of plurality in the Godhead could be demanded? |
40966 | What think ye? |
40966 | What think ye? |
40966 | What was the nature of the charge brought against the Christ? |
40966 | What was the next legal step under Hebrew law? |
40966 | When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? |
40966 | When they had condemned Him to death on the charge of blasphemy, why did they themselves not put Him to death? |
40966 | When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? |
40966 | Where, in the annals of the universe, do we find another such case of vengeance and grudge as this of Judas against Jesus? |
40966 | Who can forgive sins but God alone? |
40966 | Why askest thou me? |
40966 | Why askest thou me? |
40966 | Why call Edison"the magician"and"the wizard,"unless the public believes this? |
40966 | Why did not the first trial suffice? |
40966 | Why did they invoke Roman interference in the matter? |
40966 | Why did they not stone Jesus to death, as Hebrew law required in the case of culprits convicted of blasphemy? |
40966 | Why not call witnesses as the law requires? |
40966 | Why was Jesus crucified instead of being put to death by stoning? |
40966 | Will it be urged that the rule operated against Judas but not against the chief priests? |
40966 | Would He not have proved to them that this angel of Jehovah had been at certain times in the past none other than Jehovah Himself? |
40966 | Would He not then have appealed to the Prophets to show that Jehovah had spoken of a begotten Son who was none other than Almighty God Himself? |
40966 | Would he have contented himself with calling them natural"accidents"or"freaks"? |
40966 | Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? |
40966 | Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? |
40966 | [ 225] Were comparative strangers to Him and His teachings expected to be more keenly discerning? |
40966 | [ 247] Did this procedure tend to promote"certainty in the indictment"? |
40966 | [ 279] When the Jews said to Him,"How long dost thou make us doubt? |
40966 | [ 291] Did these friends of the Christ vote against Him? |
40966 | [ 346] If then the second session of the Sanhedrin was in the nature of a regular trial, what were the facts of the proceedings? |
40966 | [ 358] What was the difference between his case and that of Jesus? |
40966 | _ What was the nature of the charge brought against Christ at the trial before the Sanhedrin? |
40966 | what dost thou work? |
40966 | what is it which these witness against thee? |
40966 | what is it which these witness against thee? |
40966 | what is it which these witness against thee? |
40966 | what is it which these witness against thee?" |
40966 | ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? |
40966 | ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? |
40966 | ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? |
40966 | ye have heard the_ blasphemy_: what think ye? |
18168 | Was it then love,he asks,"which impelled the Divine Will, and said to it unceasingly: Go and create? |
18168 | Why, what are you doing there? |
18168 | [ 114] What does the author understand by law? 18168 [ 156] What is there beneath these strange lines? |
18168 | [ 158] And are these sublime_ pressentiments_ only dreams after all? 18168 [ 24] Does the man who speaks in this way appear to you to have wished to break the link which connects morality with religion? |
18168 | [ 47] Why? 18168 A physiologist absorbed in the study of sensible phenomena says:Where is that soul they talk of? |
18168 | A request is made, and for what? |
18168 | Again, do the most learned chemists find in the study of the elements of matter a revelation of atheism? |
18168 | Again, what shall we say to those philosophers, who do not wish for truth except when they have succeeded in educing it by themselves? |
18168 | Allow me to reproduce some old questions: If a machine implies intelligence, does the universe imply none? |
18168 | Am I not the dupe of an illusion? |
18168 | And at what shall we have arrived at last? |
18168 | And do the men who profess them believe them, taking the word''believe''in its real and deep meaning? |
18168 | And do you not know the part which cowardice has played in history? |
18168 | And how can deeds so hideous glare Beneath the beams of holy light, That on the lips of hapless wight Dies at their view the trembling prayer? |
18168 | And if a religious man asks,"Are you falling then into atheism?" |
18168 | And if there is intelligence in the universe, is this intelligence a chemical result of the combination of molecules? |
18168 | And now where do we stand? |
18168 | And of whom is happiness asked? |
18168 | And since the thought is a beautiful one, it has adorned the strains of the poets: says Lamartine-- Dost thou happiness resign To another? |
18168 | And what have we now before us? |
18168 | And what is pestilence, or crime, Or death, O righteous God, to Thee? |
18168 | And what is the answer? |
18168 | And what is the consequence? |
18168 | And what is the real account to give of all this? |
18168 | And what next? |
18168 | And what result do they attain? |
18168 | And whence comes this idea? |
18168 | And whence proceeds our spirit? |
18168 | Any religious theory whatever is put aside as inadmissible, and with some such remarks as these:"How is it that real sciences are formed? |
18168 | Are the beings which we call inferior only the cadets of the universe, and are they too in their turn to mount all the steps of the ladder? |
18168 | Are truth, holiness, beauty considered separately from the real and infinite Spirit in which is found their reason for existing? |
18168 | Are we in the domain of tradition, or in that of free inquiry? |
18168 | Are we occupied about religion or philosophy? |
18168 | Are we treading upon the ground of faith, or on the ground of reason? |
18168 | At first sight what do we find in the opinions of that ancient world? |
18168 | At what shall it stop? |
18168 | But do I say the truth? |
18168 | But do the affections of earth offer us sufficient guarantees? |
18168 | But do these doctrines exercise any influence for the perversion of public morals? |
18168 | But do we wish to rise above nature and humanity? |
18168 | But how shall young Frenchmen be made to hear this with regard to that signal defeat of the armies of France? |
18168 | But if reason does not rise to God, what will happen? |
18168 | But is it a question of reality? |
18168 | But is it not sad to see men of mind, men of heart too, perhaps, making themselves the theorists of baseness, and the philosophers of cowardice? |
18168 | But let us go more directly to the root of the question: What do we gather from the universality of prayer? |
18168 | But might we not, in looking at the work of God, discern in it the evidence of its design? |
18168 | But of what love? |
18168 | But on what altar shall we stretch this great victim? |
18168 | But what conceivable interest can influence Him who is the plentitude of being? |
18168 | But what is the soul of a monkey? |
18168 | But whence should come the obligation for the Being who is in Himself the absolute law? |
18168 | But will our mind be able to entertain together two directly opposite assertions? |
18168 | But, without pausing at this consideration, let us ask what pure reason can do, if deprived of all objects of experience? |
18168 | By what means? |
18168 | Can God be demonstrated_ Ã priori_ by syllogisms? |
18168 | Can we enter into the counsels of God? |
18168 | Can we in the same way, by looking at the universe, that grand work, succeed in discovering its end? |
18168 | Come now, I said to myself, canst thou recognize them as thine ancestors? |
18168 | Comment, sous la sainte lumière, Voit- on des actes si hideux, Qu''ils font expirer la prière Sur les lèvres du malheureux? |
18168 | Could one demonstrate it by reasoning? |
18168 | Creatures of a day, how should we understand the Eternal? |
18168 | Did humanity begin with a coarse fetichism, and thence rise by slow degrees to higher conceptions? |
18168 | Did reason perceive the nothingness of these national divinities? |
18168 | Do not the United States bear in large characters upon their banner this inscription: LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE? |
18168 | Do the atheistical consequences which it is desired to draw from this doctrine proceed logically from it? |
18168 | Do the traces of a comparatively pure monotheism first show themselves in the most recent periods of idolatry? |
18168 | Do these sciences suffice for resolving the universal enigma? |
18168 | Do we desire progress by the ever wider diffusion of justice and love? |
18168 | Do we wish to know the object which a man has in view in his labor? |
18168 | Do you believe that the people will long consent to hear it said that they only live on errors, but that those errors are necessary for them? |
18168 | Do you know the feeling of anxiety? |
18168 | Do you not see that though we grant everything to the extreme pretensions of naturalists, the question comes up again whole and entire? |
18168 | Do you not see? |
18168 | Do you understand how an axiom undulates, and how the heavens and the earth are only the undulations of an axiom? |
18168 | Does botany teach the human mind to dispense with God? |
18168 | Does it mean that every soul bears witness to God, perhaps unconsciously to itself, either by a secret hope, or by a secret dread? |
18168 | Does it never happen to you, by a sinister presentiment, to see features you love to gaze on convulsed with agony or pale in death? |
18168 | Does it not in some sort triumph over itself? |
18168 | Does it result from mere experience? |
18168 | Does nature manifest the intervention of a directing mind, or do we see in it only a fortuitous aggregation of atoms? |
18168 | Does non- existence become existence little by little? |
18168 | Does the question concern the relations of man with his fellows? |
18168 | Does this mean that the lips which deny God, always in some way contradict themselves? |
18168 | Faith carries with it the remedy for fanaticism, but where shall be found the remedy for the fanaticism of doubt? |
18168 | Had then the vast knowledge of Ritter turned him away from God? |
18168 | Has an artist discovered in a mass of rubbish, under vulgar appearances, a product of the marvellous chisel of the Greeks? |
18168 | Has it, at a later period, made any discoveries calculated to efface from the life of vegetables the marks of Divine intelligence? |
18168 | Has reason nothing to tell us respecting the intentions of the Creator? |
18168 | Has the religious liberty which Great Britain practises sprung from indifference? |
18168 | Has the veil been lifted by reflection, that is to say by the labors of philosophers? |
18168 | Have the elements of matter all the same age? |
18168 | Have we not the right to conclude that he believed in God? |
18168 | Have you no dear one in a distant land of whom you are expecting tidings? |
18168 | Have you not remarked the surprising simplicity with which Jesus speaks of His work? |
18168 | Have you received the hard lessons of death? |
18168 | He will doubt even of the certainty of reason: what if the reason were a warped and broken instrument? |
18168 | How comes the editor of the almanac to know that? |
18168 | How does Descartes upraise himself? |
18168 | How does the fact manifest itself? |
18168 | How is it possible to approve, when we have no power to blame? |
18168 | How is it then that atheism sometimes manifests itself in attempts at social reform? |
18168 | How then does hypothesis come to be made light of? |
18168 | How then is it to be judged? |
18168 | I have told you whence liberty does not come; but whence comes it? |
18168 | If a telescope implies intelligence in the optician, does the eye imply none in its author? |
18168 | If imagination will cross the abyss, we shall come of necessity to say-- what? |
18168 | If it is asked, What is the cause of the motion of the stars? |
18168 | If our nature is ill constructed, what warrants to us our reason? |
18168 | If perfection alone exists, how comes that imperfect mind to exist which deceives itself in believing in the reality of the world? |
18168 | If so, why have some followed the law of progress, and others not? |
18168 | If the distinction of good and evil do not exist for general facts, how should it exist for particular facts? |
18168 | If we had arrived at the highest degree of virtue, what should we have done? |
18168 | If you look for the meaning common to all these manifestations of man''s heart, what do you find? |
18168 | In respect for the convictions of others? |
18168 | In the claims of God? |
18168 | In the name of what rule? |
18168 | In your examination of the universe will you leave out of view Jesus Christ and His work? |
18168 | Is God an object of experience? |
18168 | Is Switzerland a land of indifference? |
18168 | Is it also formed little by little in process of time? |
18168 | Is it desired to employ them to prove the existence of God? |
18168 | Is it in drawing- rooms with closed doors? |
18168 | Is it love which we must thus regard as our first father? |
18168 | Is it not, it will be said, the literary representatives of the spirit of doubt who have demanded and founded toleration? |
18168 | Is it possible that the science of nature, rightly considered, should lead to atheism? |
18168 | Is it that religious convictions are weaker in England than in Sweden? |
18168 | Is it the case that the true cause of the intolerance of the Spanish people is a more lively and more general faith than that of the French? |
18168 | Is it the cause of God which is at stake? |
18168 | Is it true, in fact, that modern naturalists are generally irreligious? |
18168 | Is it within the walls of Universities, or in scientific publications which are out of the reach of the masses? |
18168 | Is it yours? |
18168 | Is not this a thing to be said sadly, as the saddest thing in the world? |
18168 | Is our feeling for beauty awakened? |
18168 | Is science formed by pure reason? |
18168 | Is the object in question to deny God''s existence? |
18168 | Is there, or is there not, intelligence in the universe? |
18168 | It is in vain that you give to material agents an unlimited time; what has time to do here? |
18168 | Leaving ourselves to the guidance of the laws of our reason, let us ask what object we shall be able to attribute to the Creator in His work? |
18168 | Matter is perfected and organized in process of time-- but whence comes matter itself? |
18168 | May not conscience be a prejudice, the result of education and of habit? |
18168 | Might not everything in the world be illusion? |
18168 | Must I hope in God? |
18168 | Must I reject all faith and all hope? |
18168 | Need I tell you that the knowledge of God is a light of which the brightest ray is love to men? |
18168 | Now what are these laws? |
18168 | Now what is it that goes on in the minds of these savants? |
18168 | Now what is our answer? |
18168 | On what account? |
18168 | On what ground do you rest this denial? |
18168 | Or will creation be a duty? |
18168 | Ought there not to arise a louder outcry around a theory which arrives by a fatal necessity at this consequence:"Evil is good"? |
18168 | Our conscience speaks: have we come in a certain degree to realize what is right and good? |
18168 | Our thought sets out on its course: have we solved one question? |
18168 | Place men so disposed in positions of power; let them be the masters of society; what will follow? |
18168 | Pourquoi, dans ton oeuvre cà © leste, Tant d''à © là © ments si peu d''accord? |
18168 | Science does not proceed therefore either from pure experience or from pure reason; whence does it really come? |
18168 | Science, then, has birth only from a meeting of experience with reason; how is this meeting effected? |
18168 | Shall it be a she- goat-- Upstretched on fragrant cytisus to browse? |
18168 | Shall we forget the joys of pure love? |
18168 | Shall we sacrifice it to pure reason, to reason disengaged from all prejudice? |
18168 | Take away from human society God as mediator, and the hopes founded in God as a source of consolation, and what would you have remaining? |
18168 | That monkey, what shall we say of it? |
18168 | The error is apparently a gross one; is it not likely that the argument has been misunderstood? |
18168 | The incline is slippery, and what shall hold back the sceptic who is descending it? |
18168 | The objection would have to be answered-- Why has good appeared in the world? |
18168 | The optician makes our spectacles; who made the eye of the eagle, by directing the slow transformations which at length produced it? |
18168 | The question is, what opinion we must form of his doctrine on principles of experimental science? |
18168 | The questions which arise are such as these:--"This voice of duty-- whence comes it? |
18168 | The sun rises every day; who is still surprised at its rising? |
18168 | These pretended believers-- may they not be hypocrites?" |
18168 | They have disturbed men''s minds, but what is their legitimate import? |
18168 | This common, universal, eternal reason,--where and how does it exist? |
18168 | This liberty-- whence does it come? |
18168 | This petition rises to God: and when does it so rise? |
18168 | Those we love-- in a month, in a week, where will they be? |
18168 | To what then shall be directed that vague look, equally attracted to all points for want of any fixed rule? |
18168 | To whom is all this addressed? |
18168 | To whom shall we give our confidence? |
18168 | Under what form does a discovery present itself to the mind of its author? |
18168 | Was it a sceptic that taught the inhabitants of the New World to respect religious convictions? |
18168 | Was not the comparative firmness of its citizens''convictions remarked during the conflicts of the last century? |
18168 | We must admit-- what? |
18168 | Well, sirs, when an artist is satisfied with the work of his hands, do you not know at once what to think of him? |
18168 | What are the laws which govern the universe? |
18168 | What are these conquests? |
18168 | What are they doing-- these men without God, who wish to preserve a faith for the use of the people? |

7977 | Are these I hear Spirits, O Master? |
7977 | But in that other prison? |
7977 | Dost thou not see that Christ wishes to release thee from thy terrible abode? |
7977 | For, what way is there,says this holy Doctor,"to verify so great a paradox, without sounding reason, and destroying the infinite mercy of God? |
7977 | Have not the boldness to say:''I will go to confession and gain a plenary indulgence, and thus I shall be saved?'' 7977 If, in Thy sight, scarce e''en the perfect whiteness Of seraph- robe is pure, Shall mortals brave Thine eye''s eternal brightness? |
7977 | Is it a long drive to the church? |
7977 | Knowest thou well that thou now seest nothing with the eyes of the body? |
7977 | On what days? |
7977 | Seest thou him face to face? |
7977 | Speak from whence ye stand,He cried;"What would ye? |
7977 | Was it in a dream, or awake, that you saw and heard what struck you then? |
7977 | What dost thou? |
7977 | What is it? |
7977 | Where is your body now? |
7977 | Who is the man? 7977 Will you honor your dead?" |
7977 | With what eyes, then, dost thou see me? |
7977 | ''And how?'' |
7977 | ''But, sire'', answered the widow,''should you be killed in battle, who will then do me justice?'' |
7977 | ''Indeed? |
7977 | ''What association?'' |
7977 | ***** Again, what devotion is more justly dear to Christians than the devotion to the Sacred Humanity of Jesus? |
7977 | --''What to thee is others''good, If thou neglect thine own?'' |
7977 | --''Why, have you already rented your house?'' |
7977 | --''Will you allow me,''said I,''to give you a little advice? |
7977 | ... What purest mouth"Presses a new- made grave, and through the blades Of grass wind shaken, breathes her piteous prayer? |
7977 | ... Who will not refuse me comfort, when my own children, my very bowels, do their best to forget me? |
7977 | A sudden and unaccountable feeling of terror came over her, and she cried out:"Jesus, Mary, what can it be?" |
7977 | Ah, dost thou grudge thy poor mother a Mass, a slight alms, a sigh, or a tear? |
7977 | And even as His Divine breast knew keenest sorrow, did not a sword of sorrow pierce her soul? |
7977 | And how does any one know whether he will stay days, months, or years? |
7977 | And she said,''What will it signify to you, great emperor, that any other than yourself should do me justice? |
7977 | And she, as one Made hasty by her grief:''O, sire, if thou Dost not return?'' |
7977 | And upon what does all this rest, except on a simple, child- like trust in God''s fidelity, which is the supernatural motive of hope? |
7977 | And what did not the Saints of God''s Church for them in those days? |
7977 | And what will happen when we die? |
7977 | And why? |
7977 | And yet, who dare oppose St. Augustine, St. Thomas, St. Anselm, St. Gregory the Great? |
7977 | Another night he likewise beheld in sleep the same young man, who said to him:"Knowest thou me?" |
7977 | Are any plans abandoned? |
7977 | Are you doing nothing for them? |
7977 | As he was going away, the Pope demanded of him:"Whither goest thou, simple man? |
7977 | But have you thought sufficiently about God? |
7977 | But how long hast thou been here?" |
7977 | But how was this to be done, when he had no revenue, often not means enough for necessary expenses? |
7977 | But is it really true that the least pain in Purgatory exceeds the greatest here upon earth? |
7977 | But is this a satisfactory method to treat a grave matter of faith, coming down to us from the olden times? |
7977 | But let me ask you what is done for the_ poor living soul_? |
7977 | But then, sir, their Masses for the dead? |
7977 | But what then? |
7977 | But what we call glory, has it any claims in Thy eyes? |
7977 | But where is the word Trinity to be met with? |
7977 | But why must this be? |
7977 | Can the Sacred Humanity be honored more than by the Adorable Sacrifice of the Mass? |
7977 | Can the holy souls in Purgatory assist us by their prayers? |
7977 | Can you refrain from crying out, with the Prophet Isaias:"Who can dwell with such devouring fire, and unquenchable burnings?" |
7977 | Comfort thyself: what comfort is in me? |
7977 | Could he neglect her, if by the will of God she went to Purgatory? |
7977 | Do we fully realize the meaning of that particular article of our faith? |
7977 | Do you desire this assistance for your own soul? |
7977 | Do you forget them all the day long? |
7977 | Do you long for His glory? |
7977 | Do you remember the promise Our Lord made to St. Gertrude? |
7977 | Do you take God''s side? |
7977 | Do you think, sir, it is wrong in a man who holds the doctrine of Purgatory to pray for the souls of his deceased friends? |
7977 | Does the following passage throw any light upon it? |
7977 | Does the machinery stagger? |
7977 | Dost thou demand So strange and dread a promise from me? |
7977 | For did not I know that in the grand business of saving my soul, I was to have trusted none but myself? |
7977 | For is it not always a favor when God deems us worthy to do something for Him? |
7977 | For what have we to do on earth but faithfully to exercise charity towards each other? |
7977 | For who can sum up the infinite number of souls who have been freed out of Purgatory by this invention? |
7977 | For, what to us, either in interest or importance, is the world we see, to the world we do not see? |
7977 | God sees them; how can He, then, look on us as we desire He should? |
7977 | Has a great and irreparable calamity fallen on the churches? |
7977 | Has anything extraordinary happened to you? |
7977 | Hast thou clothed the naked? |
7977 | Hast thou consoled the orphan? |
7977 | Have I not, sir?'' |
7977 | Have you forgotten them? |
7977 | Have you forgotten them? |
7977 | Have you no pity for them now, no natural piety, no spirit of love for them? |
7977 | Have you put sin alongside of our dear Saviour''s Passion, and measured the one by the other? |
7977 | Have you tried to realize His holiness and purity in assiduous meditation? |
7977 | Have you wedded His interests? |
7977 | He added:"And now, what advantages have you, who are seated on the shore of an ocean, over those who sit by a little rivulet?" |
7977 | He gives me everything: how could I give Him everything?" |
7977 | He is our helper: how can we help Him? |
7977 | He replied:"What can I do more for one who has thus deprived herself of all things through charity, than to cover her immediately with charity?" |
7977 | How devoted was their affection; and shall we now requite it by a cruel forgetfulness? |
7977 | How does friendship serve others less public and less popular? |
7977 | How has all that been done? |
7977 | How long is it since I rented your house?'' |
7977 | How many have forsaken the shores of Europe, with the bright hope of a better future awaiting them in America? |
7977 | How many now are there whom we have known in life? |
7977 | How shall he meet that dreadful day? |
7977 | How, then, could he have heard the bell? |
7977 | How, then, stands the case with the souls in the suffering Church? |
7977 | I cried,''could I not at least efface some of these images?'' |
7977 | I said to that ascending angel:"''Whither goest thou?'' |
7977 | I say, souls of our parents and dearest friends; souls that are predestinate to eternal glory, and extremely precious in the sight of God? |
7977 | If a single hair of our head can not fall unless He will it, what have you to fear? |
7977 | If one is enough, why two? |
7977 | If such be the dispensation of God to His creatures in this world, why may it not be also after death? |
7977 | In the wide world where can the ear of man catch such harmonies? |
7977 | Is it not a greater service to place souls in heaven than to bury bodies in the earth? |
7977 | Is it not better that you should do this good action yourself than leave another to do it?'' |
7977 | Is it not to feed the hungry, to aid in their deliverance by the means which faith suggests? |
7977 | Is it not truly to clothe the naked, to procure for them a garment of light, a raiment of glory? |
7977 | Is it not truly to ransom prisoners? |
7977 | Is it not, he said, in some manner, to visit the sick, to obtain by our prayers the relief of the poor suffering souls in Purgatory? |
7977 | Is it that he loves him less than when he lavished on him the tenderest caresses? |
7977 | Is it the ivy as it creeps Against the gray church tower? |
7977 | Is it the sound of the wandering breeze, Or the rustling of the grass, Or the stooping wing of the evening birds As home to their nests they pass? |
7977 | Is it, indeed,"out of sight, out of mind"? |
7977 | Is it, perhaps, to the mercy of God? |
7977 | Is the policy affected? |
7977 | Is there a real divorce between you and the world, which you know is God''s enemy? |
7977 | Is there not in all this a semblance of belief in our doctrine of Purgatory? |
7977 | It is said that it is in the time of affliction that we know our true friends; but what affliction could be compared to ours? |
7977 | Like many others, however, he had seen bad days; and to the commonplace question,''How goes business?'' |
7977 | Must there not, in the very nature of Christ''s system, be a middle state, wherein souls can be purged from their lesser sins? |
7977 | No more than this? |
7977 | Now does this disappointment await the souls in Purgatory upon their deliverance? |
7977 | Now, I ask, when could those Eastern sects have commenced to adopt the Catholic practice of praying for the dead? |
7977 | Now, where is there more necessity, or more obligation, than to run to the fire, and to help those that lie there, and are not able to get out? |
7977 | Outside the Church who believes in the Communion of Saints?--who rejoices in the glory of the glorified, or invokes their intercession with God? |
7977 | Please tell me, then, what induces you to give so handsome a sum every year, without being asked?'' |
7977 | Prayer? |
7977 | Saw you ever a Roman Pontiff lying in state? |
7977 | Shall man its search endure? |
7977 | Shall our eyes gaze on and on, and feast themselves on that sight for all eternity? |
7977 | Shall we see it forever? |
7977 | Shall you be obliged to change them before we get to our proposed stopping- place?'' |
7977 | She asks,"What has he done for God and for man?" |
7977 | She kept asking herself,"How could I help God? |
7977 | She replied:"How many are they?" |
7977 | Should he return home? |
7977 | Some say, like Lessing in his"Treatise on Theology,""What hinders us from admitting a Purgatory? |
7977 | Such- a- one?'' |
7977 | Suppose, then, a man speak an idle word, and die suddenly, before he has time to repent and confess his sin, will he be lost everlastingly? |
7977 | Tell me, if you please, what seems to cause you so much joy?'' |
7977 | The Angel replied:"How many years? |
7977 | The Bishop said to him:"You make mementoes now and then, for friends of yours that are dead-- do you not?" |
7977 | The day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away, What power shall be the sinner''s stay? |
7977 | The doors were closed-- he was still and fair, What sound moved up the aisles? |
7977 | The idolatry of the Mass? |
7977 | The religious, though surprised and trembling, recognized distinctly the voice of Sister Teresa; she plucked up courage and asked her"Why?" |
7977 | Then Gertrude said to Our Lord:"Is this soul now entirely freed from its sufferings?" |
7977 | Thereupon the poor soul asked the angel:"How many years am I now here in these terrible flames?" |
7977 | They were torn, mangled, dismembered, flayed alive, racked, broiled, burnt-- and tell me, was not this to live in a kind of hell? |
7977 | Thy truth, thy trust, thy chivalry; As thine? |
7977 | Till earliest morn Glimmered through sleet that twain wept on, prayed on:-- Was it the rising sun that lit at last The fair face upward lifted? |

7977 | What if to fault of ours those pains be due, To ill example shown, or lack of counsel true? |
7977 | What if we should behold the face of Divinest Majesty gaze upon us even for one moment in tenderness? |
7977 | What if we should indeed be saved, we who have so trembled and feared, and known not whether we were worthy of love or hatred? |
7977 | What is it? |
7977 | What pleasure does the soul derive from the costly marble monument, from all the honors that are so freely lavished on the body? |

7977 | What? |
7977 | When shall we learn? |
7977 | When will they Learn its Secret? |
7977 | Where are many other terms, held most sacred and important in the Christian religion? |
7977 | Where can you find an object of more compassion, than where there is the greatest misery in the world? |
7977 | Where can you have more merit, than to have a hand in raising up Saints and servants of God? |
7977 | Where have you more assurance than where you are sure to lose nothing? |
7977 | Where is the word_ Incarnation_ to be read in Scripture? |
7977 | Where is there seen more of God''s glory, than to send new Saints into heaven to praise God eternally? |

7977 | Who can be in a poorer or more pitiful condition than those who are buried in fire? |
7977 | Who can remember the kind faces which have gone out of our families and not shed tears at their absence? |
7977 | Who can so minister to the inherent, perhaps barbaric remnant, love for display? |

7977 | Who will remember thee when thou art dead? |
7977 | Who will watch o''er the dead young priest, People and priests and all? |
7977 | Who would not bear thy load, Where every throb expels a stain, And draws us nearer GOD? |
7977 | Why does love, infinite, tender love, inflict such intense pain? |
7977 | Why does the parent turn away from his child, and forbid him his presence for a time? |
7977 | Why had they only taught me,"Believe, and you shall be saved?" |
7977 | Why? |

7977 | Will aggression cease? |
7977 | Will you allow me to place this 500 francs at your disposal, and to recommend my intentions to your prayers?" |
7977 | Will you say it is because the body is the medium of suffering in this life? |

40460 | But where are the nine? 40460 But you, who do you say that I am?" |
40460 | Can you drink of the cup that I am to drink? 40460 Can you tell me,"asked Herod,"in what place this great King, the Messiah or Christ, is to be born?" |
40460 | Did I not choose you to be the Twelve? |
40460 | Did I not tell you,said Jesus,"that if you will only believe in me you will see the glory of God?" |
40460 | Do you come out to arrest me as if I were a robber, with swords and clubs? 40460 Do you hear,"they said to Jesus,"what these boys are shouting? |
40460 | Do you not know that Christ was bound to suffer all these things before he could enter his glory as the Son of God? |
40460 | Do you not know that all things can be done for the one who believes? |
40460 | Do you see this woman? 40460 Do you take me for a Jew?" |
40460 | Do you understand the meaning of what I have done to you? |
40460 | Does a master thank his servant for doing what he has been told? 40460 Does not each one of you on the Sabbath day unloose his ox or his ass from its manger, and lead it out to drink? |
40460 | For whom are you looking? |
40460 | Have I been with you all this time, Philip,answered Jesus,"and yet you do not know me? |
40460 | Have any of the leading men, or the Pharisees, believed in him? 40460 Have you never heard of him? |
40460 | How can these wonderful words be true? |
40460 | How did he open your eyes? |
40460 | How is it then,asked Jesus again,"that David in one of the psalms calls him''Lord''? |
40460 | How long has he been like this? |
40460 | How many loaves have you? |
40460 | I am deeply troubled, and have sorrow in my heart,said Jesus,"and what can I say? |
40460 | If David calls this coming Christ''my Lord,''how can he be David''s son? |
40460 | If we say,''John the Baptist spoke from God,''he will ask,''Then why did you not believe his words and obey him?'' 40460 In what way,"they asked him,"can we do the work that God would have us do?" |
40460 | Is it because you have seen me that you have believed in me? |
40460 | Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph? 40460 Is there a father among you, who if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? |
40460 | Is there no one,he said,"who looks like this man, so that I can see him and know something of the man''s face?" |
40460 | Is this your son,they asked,"the son you say was born blind? |
40460 | Judas,said Jesus,"do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?" |
40460 | Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for thee? |
40460 | Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way That mark out the mountain''s track? |
40460 | Lord, whence are thy hands so rent and torn? |
40460 | Lord,said Simon Peter,"where are you going?" |
40460 | Master,said Thomas,"we do not know where you are going; and how then are we to know the way?" |
40460 | Now, I will ask you,said Jesus,"when the owner of that vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine- dressers?" |
40460 | Seven times? |
40460 | So the servants of the farmer came to him and said:''Did you not, sir, sow good seed in your field? |
40460 | The stone which the builders refused Has now become the chief and corner- stone; This is the work of the Lord, And it is wonderful in our sight? |
40460 | Then how did you get your sight? |
40460 | Then the good will answer,''When was it that we found you hungry and gave you food? 40460 Then their own people are free from being taxed, are they not? |
40460 | Then to the next man he said,''And how much do you owe?'' 40460 Therefore do not be anxious, saying,''What shall we have to eat?'' |
40460 | Were there not ten men cured? |
40460 | What did he do to you? |
40460 | What difference is that to us? |
40460 | What do you read there? |
40460 | What do you think of this? |
40460 | What is it that you want? |
40460 | What is said in God''s law? |
40460 | What right have you to come here,they said to Jesus,"and make trouble? |
40460 | What shall we say? |
40460 | What then? |
40460 | What things do you mean? |
40460 | What,said Pilate,"does this man come from Galilee? |
40460 | Where can we,the disciples asked him,"in a lonely place like this, with no towns near, find bread for such a crowd as this?" |
40460 | Where do you come from? |
40460 | Where is this man going,said the Jews,"that we can not find him? |
40460 | Where is this man who cured you? |
40460 | Who is this? |
40460 | Who of you,said Jesus,"when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, and see whether he has enough money to finish it? |
40460 | Who was this man,said the Jews,"who told you to carry your bed on the Sabbath day?" |
40460 | Why are you so startled? |
40460 | Why can not I follow you now, Master? |
40460 | Why do you call me''good''? |
40460 | Why do you find fault with this woman? |
40460 | Why should you give him that name? |
40460 | Why, what commands do you mean? |
40460 | Why, what wicked thing has he done? |
40460 | Why,the Jews said,"you are not fifty years old, and do you say that Abraham saw you?" |
40460 | Will you lay down your life for me? |
40460 | Woman,said Jesus to her,"why are you weeping? |
40460 | Woman,said he,"what have you to do with me in this matter? |
40460 | Woman,said one of the angels,"why are you weeping?" |
40460 | You, who were born a sinner? |
40460 | ''Why do you stand here doing nothing?'' |
40460 | ''You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and that I take grain that I did not harvest? |
40460 | A child born to be king of the Jews-- if there was such a child, what would become of Herod''s own throne and crown? |
40460 | After Jesus had finished telling these parables to his disciples, he said to them,"Have you understood all these?" |
40460 | Again, after a moment, he asked them:"For whom are you looking?" |
40460 | And as to the resurrection, the rising from the dead, have you not read the words that God spoke to Moses at the burning bush? |
40460 | And how could he understand that Jesus by a word could cure someone who he had not seen and who was twenty miles away? |
40460 | And how much more is a man worth than a sheep? |
40460 | And however anxious you may be, can you add one minute to your life? |
40460 | And if you are not faithful with what belongs to another, how can you expect to have anything forever as your own? |
40460 | And if you can not do even this, why be anxious about other matters? |
40460 | And if you speak only to your friends, wherein are you better than others? |
40460 | And should we not wish to hear about him and to know all the tender story of his love? |
40460 | And some began to say,"Why does he not do here some of the wonderful things that they say he has done in other places? |
40460 | And you, O Capernaum, shall you be lifted up to heaven? |
40460 | Are you going away, and then coming back again? |
40460 | Are you jealous because I am generous?'' |
40460 | Are you not worth more than the birds? |
40460 | Are you the Christ, the promised King?" |
40460 | As the disciples were passing by this blind man, one of them said to Jesus:"Teacher, whose sin was it that caused this man to be born blind? |
40460 | As they came near, they said to each other:"Who will roll away for us the great stone at the door of the tomb?" |
40460 | As they drew near, Jesus turned and said to them:"Why do you follow me? |
40460 | At once Simon Peter answered, for he was the one among the Twelve always ready to speak:[ Illustration:"But you, who do you say that I am?" |
40460 | At the Feast the people were saying,"Where is he? |
40460 | But Jesus answered him:"Man, who made me a judge or a settler of disputes over your affairs?" |
40460 | But Jesus said to Peter:"If I choose that he shall wait until I come back to earth, what has that to do with you? |
40460 | But he answered the man who told him,"Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" |
40460 | But how often, when the story is ended, the child looks up to the story- teller''s face and says,"Is it all true?" |
40460 | But how shall I cause the people to know that I am their King? |
40460 | But if it loses its saltiness and becomes tasteless, is there any way to make it good salt again? |
40460 | But on the way they met other travelers and asked them:"Who is now the King in Judea, since Herod is dead?" |
40460 | But some of them said:"Could not this man, who gave sight to a blind man, have kept this man from dying?" |
40460 | But some others said,"How can a bad man do such wonderful works? |
40460 | But the crucified man on the other side of Jesus rebuked him:"Have you no fear of a just God?" |
40460 | But the scribe, wishing to make an excuse for himself, and thinking to puzzle Jesus, said,"But who is my neighbor?" |
40460 | But when he went into the house, before he could speak, Jesus said to him,"Tell me, Simon, from whom do the kings of this world take taxes? |
40460 | Can a man who is crazy open the eyes of a blind man?" |
40460 | Can you receive the same baptism that is coming to me?" |
40460 | Come, what_ did_ you go out to see? |
40460 | Could you not watch with me for a single hour? |
40460 | Did not Moses give you the law? |
40460 | Did you go out to look at a man clothed in the robes of a prince, and eating delicate food? |
40460 | Did you not agree with me to work for fifteen cents a day? |
40460 | Did you not know that I would be in my Father''s house?" |
40460 | Do n''t you know that it is in my power either to set you free, or to send you to the cross, just as I please?" |
40460 | Do you believe that?" |
40460 | Do you intend to be his disciples?" |
40460 | Do you know what"Mediterranean"means? |
40460 | Do you not believe that the Father and I are one, that I am in the Father and the Father in me? |
40460 | Do you not know, that with a word I could call upon my Father, and even now he would send me twelve armies of angels to keep me safely? |
40460 | Do you not remember the five loaves with which I fed the five thousand, and the twelve baskets full of pieces that you picked up afterward? |
40460 | Do you remember in the Old Testament the story of Jonah, the prophet who tried to run away from God''s call to preach in the city of Nineveh? |
40460 | Do you say that there are four months before the harvest time will come? |
40460 | Do you see that road running across the plain? |
40460 | Do you see that second mountain beyond Tabor? |
40460 | Do you think that Jesus will come to the Feast?" |
40460 | Does no man say that you are guilty?" |
40460 | For how could he know that his son would be well, without any sign given him by Jesus? |
40460 | For if you love only those who love you, what reward do you have? |
40460 | For which of these works would you now stone me?" |
40460 | From their sons, or from foreigners?" |
40460 | Has he come up to the Feast?" |
40460 | Have n''t I the right do so as I please with what belongs to me? |
40460 | Have you come to destroy us? |
40460 | Have you forgotten about the seven loaves among the four thousand, and the seven baskets full that you picked up? |
40460 | Have you no answer to give?" |
40460 | Have you so little faith in me?" |
40460 | He began to ask himself,''What am I to do? |
40460 | He came down, and sat upon his throne as a judge, and said:"What is the charge which you bring against this man?" |
40460 | He looked at it closely and then asked:"Whose head is this that I find upon the coin? |
40460 | He rose up and said:"Woman, where are those men? |
40460 | He said to her:"Will you give me a drink of water from this well?" |
40460 | He said to him:"Would you like to be made well?" |
40460 | He said to him:"Would you like to be made well?"] |
40460 | He said to the crowd:"What then shall I do with Jesus, the man whom they call Christ?" |
40460 | He said to the spirit,"What is your name?" |
40460 | He said to them:"Do you believe that I can do this which you desire?" |
40460 | He said to them:"Have you here anything to eat?" |
40460 | He said to them:"What is it that you are talking about, as you walk along?" |
40460 | He said to them:"Why do you think wicked things in your hearts? |
40460 | He said,"How is it that you know me?" |
40460 | He said:"Or, if there is a woman who has ten silver coins, and loses one of them, what will she do? |
40460 | He saw how well Jesus answered all the questions put to him, and coming up to him, said:"Teacher, what commandment stands first of all?" |
40460 | He stood still, looked all around, and said,"Who touched my clothes?" |
40460 | He went secretly to the chief priests and the rulers and said to them:"What will you pay me if I will give Jesus into your hands?" |
40460 | His disciples were beside him, and Peter answered:"Why, Master, the crowd is all around, pressing close upon you, and yet you say,''Who touched me?'' |
40460 | How can I believe all this?" |
40460 | How can he say,''I came down from heaven?''" |
40460 | How can he teach us?" |
40460 | How can we be made free?" |
40460 | How comes it that it is full of weeds?'' |
40460 | How is it that now he can see?" |
40460 | How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking to you about bread? |
40460 | How long must I have patience with you? |
40460 | How may we know when to look for you?" |
40460 | How much more are you worth to God than are the birds? |
40460 | I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" |
40460 | If anyone asks you,''Why are you doing that?'' |
40460 | If he is asked for a fish, will he give his son a snake? |
40460 | If this is what they do now in the beginning, what will they do then in the end?" |
40460 | If you are, why do n''t you save yourself and save us with you?" |
40460 | If you knew this, why then did you not put my money into the bank? |
40460 | In the evening, as they sat together in the house, he said to them:"What was it that you were talking about today as we were walking on the road?" |
40460 | Is he going among our people in foreign lands, to teach the foreigners? |
40460 | Is it right for our people to pay taxes to the Roman rulers over the land? |
40460 | Is it safe for you to go there again?" |
40460 | Is not this man the Christ whom we are looking for?" |
40460 | Is not this work of cure a sign that God is with him?" |
40460 | Is there any way to have that list against us taken away, blotted out and forgotten? |
40460 | It might be asked-- why did the woman need to light a lamp when searching for her lost coin? |
40460 | It was this:"Master, how often should I forgive my brother when he has done me wrong? |
40460 | Jesus answered him calmly,"If I have said anything that is not true, prove it; but if I have spoken the truth, why do you strike me?" |
40460 | Jesus answered the governor,"Do you ask this of your own accord, or did others tell you that I am a king?" |
40460 | Jesus answered,"Is it not written in your law,''I said, you are gods''? |
40460 | Jesus heard that he had been put out of the church; he sought him out, and when he had found him, he asked:"Do you believe in the Son of Man?" |
40460 | Jesus looked up at his mother''s face, with surprise, and said:"Why should you look for me? |
40460 | Jesus noticed this, and he said:"Why are you talking to one another about your being short of bread? |
40460 | Jesus said to his disciples,"How many loaves have you? |
40460 | Jesus said to the Twelve,"Do you, too, wish to leave me?" |
40460 | Jesus said to the people in the house,"Why do you make such a noise? |
40460 | Jesus said to the people:"What was it that you went out to the desert to see? |
40460 | Jesus said:"Do you believe because I said,''I saw you underneath the fig tree?'' |
40460 | Jesus spoke to Peter,"Simon, are you sleeping? |
40460 | Jesus turned to Philip, one of his disciples, and asked him,"Philip, where shall we find bread that all these people may eat?" |
40460 | Jesus was led up to the foot of the steps to Pilate''s judgment throne; and Pilate asked him,"Are you the King of the Jews?" |
40460 | Mary hastily rushed up to Jesus, and said:"My son, why have you treated us so unkindly? |
40460 | Nicodemus did not know what this meant, and he said,"How can a man be born again after he is grown up?" |
40460 | Now tell me, what have you done?" |
40460 | Now tell me, which of these two sons did as his father told him to do?" |
40460 | Now that you have come, will you not help me?" |
40460 | Now, Moses in the law commands that any person committing that crime shall be stoned to death; but what do you say should be done with her?" |
40460 | On Thursday morning, Peter and John came to Jesus in Bethany and said:"Master, where shall we make ready the passover feast for you?" |
40460 | One day, after he had been alone praying to his Father, he asked his disciples:"Tell me, who do the people say that I am?" |
40460 | One said,"Why should this carpenter try to teach us?" |
40460 | Or are we to look for another?" |
40460 | Or did he speak his own words only, without authority or power from God? |
40460 | Or thirsty and gave you drink? |
40460 | Or was it his own fault?" |
40460 | Or without clothes, and gave you clothing? |
40460 | Or, if asked for an egg, will he give him a scorpion? |
40460 | People said to each other,"How did this man get all his knowledge? |
40460 | People were saying to each other,"Who is this great Prophet that is working all these wonders?" |
40460 | Peter felt hurt that his third question was"Are you my friend?" |
40460 | Pilate said to him:"You will not speak to me? |
40460 | Shall I say,''Father, save me from the hour that is coming so soon?'' |
40460 | Shall it be as many as seven times?" |
40460 | Shall we pay, or shall we refuse to pay?" |
40460 | Shall we tell the people that they are to pay no more taxes?" |
40460 | She came to Jesus and said:"Lord, do you think it right for my sister to leave all the work to me? |
40460 | Should not you, also, have shown the same kindness to your fellow- servant that I showed to you?'' |
40460 | Should we not love him for this? |
40460 | Simon Peter answered for them all,"Lord, to whom shall we go if we leave you? |
40460 | So John leaned back on Jesus''shoulder and whispered:"Who is it, Master?" |
40460 | So if you can not be trusted with the money of this world, who will trust you with the riches of God? |
40460 | So the master sent for the steward and said:"''What is this that I hear about you? |
40460 | Tell me now, Simon, which of those two men will love this man the most?" |
40460 | The Jews gathered around him and asked:"How long are you going to keep our minds in uncertainty? |
40460 | The angel paused and Mary found words to speak, tremblingly and with fear:"How can all this come to me? |
40460 | The cup which my Father has given me, must I not drink it?" |
40460 | The girl went to her mother and said to her,"What shall I ask?" |
40460 | The high priest Caiaphas stood up, and said to Jesus in a very loud and fierce manner:"What have you to say of the things spoken by these witnesses? |
40460 | The people asked each other:"Is this the same blind man that begged in the street?" |
40460 | The people came to John and said to him:"What shall we do to make ready for the coming of this Great King?" |
40460 | The priests went to Pilate in his palace and said to him:"Will you not change the writing upon the cross of that man? |
40460 | The rulers said:"This Temple has taken forty- six years to build, and it is not finished yet; and will you raise it up in three days?" |
40460 | The soldiers and policemen came to John and said,"And what shall we do?" |
40460 | The spirit answered Jesus, crying out,"Jesus, son of the Most High God, what business have you with us? |
40460 | The woman who kept the door looked sharply at Peter, and said:"Are you not one of this man''s disciples?" |
40460 | Then Jesus spoke to his disciples, saying:"Why are you so fearful? |
40460 | Then, a third time, Jesus asked him:"Simon, son of Jonas, are you my friend?" |
40460 | There was a moment''s pause, and then Jesus a second time asked Peter:"Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me?" |
40460 | There was one more question to be met: he was to become the King of Israel, but what kind of a kingdom would he have? |
40460 | There, after spitting upon the man''s eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him:"Can you see anything?" |
40460 | These angels said to the followers of Jesus:"Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up towards the heavens? |
40460 | These men came and asked him:"Who are you? |
40460 | These men said to Jesus:"Why do you not go to Judea and Jerusalem and let your disciples see there what you can do? |
40460 | They asked the blind man again:"What do you say of this man who has opened your eyes?" |
40460 | They began asking:"Master, shall we strike with the sword?" |
40460 | They crossed a brook which fell into the river; and Joseph said,"Do you see this brook? |
40460 | They found Jesus at the church in Capernaum, and said to him,"Rabbi, when did you come here?" |
40460 | They looked at each other and said:"Can it be that someone has brought him something to eat?" |
40460 | They pushed their way through the crowds up to Jesus, and said to him, with an air of lordship:"What right have you to come here and act as a ruler? |
40460 | They said to Jesus,"How is it that the teachers of the law say that the prophet Elijah must come before the Messiah- King appears?" |
40460 | They said to Judas:"How can we tell in the dark, under the trees, who is the one for us to take hold of as prisoner?" |
40460 | They said to him,"Shall we go into the town and buy thirty dollars''worth of bread, so that each one of them may have a little?" |
40460 | They said to him:"Lord, shall we call down fire from heaven, as the prophet Elijah did, and burn up that wicked village?" |
40460 | They said to the disciples of Jesus:"Why does your Teacher eat with those publicans and sinners?" |
40460 | They talked about it to one another, saying:"What does all this mean? |
40460 | They threw a covering over his face, and after striking him, would say,"Are you a prophet? |
40460 | They too were filled with sorrow, and began to say to him, all around the table,"Is it I, Lord?" |
40460 | They were amazed at this, and said,"Then who can be saved?" |
40460 | They were looking out for Jesus, and said to each other as they walked in the courts of the Temple:"What do you think? |
40460 | They were untying them when the owner, who was standing by, said:"What are you doing, untying the ass?" |
40460 | This scribe said to Jesus,"Teacher, what shall I do that I may have the life everlasting?" |
40460 | Those at the table began to whisper to one another,"Who is this that claims the right to forgive sins?" |
40460 | Was it a prophet, a man sent from God? |
40460 | Was it a reed swayed to and fro by the wind? |
40460 | Was it the fault of his parents? |
40460 | Was there only one to turn back and give thanks to God, and that one a stranger?" |
40460 | We have seen his star in the east, and we have come to do him honor?" |
40460 | What are the words around the edge?" |
40460 | What business have you with us? |
40460 | What can I do to make them believe in me?" |
40460 | What can we do to make this a better and a brighter world? |
40460 | What do you mean by saying,''Let us see the Father''? |
40460 | What do you mean to teach in this story about the man sowing seed?" |
40460 | What do you say about John the Baptist-- did he speak the words of God as his messenger? |
40460 | What does he mean by words like these?" |
40460 | What does he mean by''a little while''?" |
40460 | What good will it do to a man to gain the whole world if in gaining he loses his own life? |
40460 | What is it that you wish?" |
40460 | What is the work that you are doing? |
40460 | What is truth?" |
40460 | What more do I need?" |
40460 | What new teaching is this? |
40460 | What shall be done to a man who calls himself God?" |
40460 | What shall we have in the kingdom for all this?" |
40460 | What will a man give that is worth as much as his life? |
40460 | When Jesus was alone with his disciples in the house, they asked him,"Why was it that we could not drive out the evil spirit from the boy?" |
40460 | When Jesus was alone with his disciples, they said to him:"Why do you speak to the people in parables? |
40460 | When did we see you a stranger, and took you into our homes? |
40460 | When did we see you sick, or in prison, and went to visit you?'' |
40460 | When he came near, Jesus said to him:"What would you have me do for you?" |
40460 | When the officers came back to the chief priests and leading men, they were asked,"Why did you not bring this man with you?" |
40460 | Where can you get your living water? |
40460 | Where had he slept on those two nights? |
40460 | Which is the easier to say,''Your sins are forgiven,''or to say,''Rise up and walk''? |
40460 | Who are you that you should undertake to rule in this place? |
40460 | Who gave you the right to do what you did yesterday?" |
40460 | Who had given him food during those three days? |
40460 | Who is it that you are looking for?" |
40460 | Who is trying to kill you?" |
40460 | Who were these men, and what was the star that they had seen? |
40460 | Whose son is he?" |
40460 | Why did you doubt my word?" |
40460 | Why do you ask me what I have said? |
40460 | Why do you not tell them to be still?" |
40460 | Why do you want to hear it again? |
40460 | Why does everybody wish to have a Bible in his house? |
40460 | Why give it to him?'' |
40460 | Why hast thou forsaken me?" |
40460 | Why listen to him?" |
40460 | Why should it take up room and rob the soil?'' |
40460 | Will you not also give us a prayer that we may use?" |
40460 | Will you not please come and help her?" |
40460 | Would you wish to go and see this child? |
40460 | Yet when the Son of Man comes, will he find on earth those who are looking for him and who believe in him?" |
40460 | You may ask, what was a writing table? |
40460 | [ Illustration: Jesus was led to Pilate, who questioned him privately:"Are you the King of the Jews?"] |
40460 | [ Illustration: Judas filled with remorse returns the thirty pieces of silver]"Are you the Christ,"he asked,"the Son of that Blessed One?" |
40460 | [ Illustration: Pilate came down and sat upon his throne as a judge, and said:"What is the charge which you bring against this man?"] |
40460 | [ Illustration: The chief priests angrily demanded of Jesus:"What right have you to come here and act as a ruler?"] |
40460 | and not"Do you love me?" |
40460 | do n''t you know this is the Sabbath day? |
40460 | has this man led you astray, too?" |
40460 | he said,"why do you try to catch me in a snare? |
40460 | or''how can we get clothes to wear?'' |
40460 | or''what shall we have to drink?'' |
40460 | said Cleopas,"do you live all alone in Jerusalem, since you seem not to have heard of the things that have taken place there in the last few days?" |
40460 | said Jesus to them,"and why do doubts come to you? |
40460 | said Jesus,"how long must I be with you? |
40460 | this very night your life is taken away; and who will have all that you have stored up?'' |
40460 | you would destroy the Temple and build it again in three days, would you? |
16184 | And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up? |
16184 | And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? 16184 Art thou the prophet?" |
16184 | But what think ye? 16184 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? |
16184 | Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? |
16184 | Have ye understood all these things? |
16184 | I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled? 16184 Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it? |
16184 | Then shall the righteous answer him, saying,''Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? 16184 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? |
16184 | Whom seek ye? |
16184 | Why doth this generation seek a sign? 16184 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? |
16184 | ***** And he said unto them,"When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything?" |
16184 | Again therefore he asked them,"Whom seek ye?" |
16184 | And Jesus answered and said,"O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? |
16184 | And Jesus answered him, and said,"What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?" |
16184 | And Jesus answering said,"Were not the ten cleansed? |
16184 | And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying,"Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?" |
16184 | And Jesus asked him,"What is thy name?" |
16184 | And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her,"Woman, where are they? |
16184 | And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them,"O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread? |
16184 | And Jesus said unto them,"Can ye make the sons of the bride- chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? |
16184 | And Jesus said unto them,"I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? |
16184 | And Jesus saith unto her,"Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
16184 | And Jesus saith unto them,"Yea: did ye never read,''Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise''?" |
16184 | And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them,"What seek ye?" |
16184 | And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying,"Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?" |
16184 | And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said,"Is it I, Rabbi?" |
16184 | And Mary said unto the angel,"How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" |
16184 | And Pilate answered them, saying,"Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?" |
16184 | And Zacharias said unto the angel,"Whereby shall I know this? |
16184 | And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them,''Why stand ye here all the day idle?'' |
16184 | And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said,"Whence hath this man these things?" |
16184 | And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying,"What then shall this child be?" |
16184 | And all the multitudes were amazed, and said,"Can this be the son of David?" |
16184 | And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying,"What is this word? |
16184 | And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" |
16184 | And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying,"Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
16184 | And calling to him each one of his lord''s debtors, he said to the first,''How much owest thou unto my lord?'' |
16184 | And certain of them that stood there said unto them,"What do ye, loosing the colt?" |
16184 | And he answered and said unto them,"Think ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they have suffered these things? |
16184 | And he asked his father,"How long time is it since this hath come unto him?" |
16184 | And he asked them,"How many loaves have ye?" |
16184 | And he asked them,"What question ye with them?" |
16184 | And he called him, and said unto him,''What is this that I hear of thee? |
16184 | And he said unto her,"What wouldest thou?" |
16184 | And he said unto him,"What is written in the law? |
16184 | And he said unto him,"Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? |
16184 | And he said unto them a third time,"Why, what evil hath this man done? |
16184 | And he said unto them,"But who say ye that I am?" |
16184 | And he said unto them,"How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? |
16184 | And he said unto them,"How is it that ye sought me? |
16184 | And he said unto them,"What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk?" |
16184 | And he said unto them,"What things?" |
16184 | And he said unto them,"Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?" |
16184 | And he said unto them,"Why are ye fearful? |
16184 | And he said unto them,"Why are ye troubled? |
16184 | And he said,"How shall we liken the kingdom of God? |
16184 | And he saith unto them,"Are ye also even yet without understanding? |
16184 | And he saith unto them,"Know ye not this parable? |
16184 | And he saith unto them,"Whose is this image and superscription?" |
16184 | And he spake also a parable unto them,"Can the blind guide the blind? |
16184 | And he taught, and said unto them,"Is it not written,''My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations?'' |
16184 | And his disciples answered him,"Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?" |
16184 | And his disciples asked him, saying,"Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?" |
16184 | And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? |
16184 | And if any one say unto you,''Why do ye this?'' |
16184 | And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? |
16184 | And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another''s, who will give you that which is your own? |
16184 | And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? |
16184 | And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? |
16184 | And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him,"O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" |
16184 | And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying,"Who do the multitudes say that I am?" |
16184 | And many of them said,"He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?" |
16184 | And none of the disciples durst inquire of him,"Who art thou?" |
16184 | And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying,"Art not thou the Christ? |
16184 | And one said unto him,"Lord, are they few that are saved?" |
16184 | And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them? |
16184 | And she went out, and said unto her mother,"What shall I ask?" |
16184 | And soldiers also asked him, saying,"And we, what must we do?" |
16184 | And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them,"Why reason ye these things in your hearts? |
16184 | And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith,"What further need have we of witnesses? |
16184 | And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying,"Answerest thou nothing? |
16184 | And the multitudes asked him, saying,"What then must we do?" |
16184 | And the servants of the householder came and said unto him,''Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? |
16184 | And the servants say unto him,''Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?'' |
16184 | And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him,"Teacher, what must we do?" |
16184 | And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying,"Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?" |
16184 | And they asked him, saying,"How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?" |
16184 | And they asked him,"What then? |
16184 | And they blindfolded him and smote him with the palms of their hands, saying,"Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?" |
16184 | And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them,"What were ye reasoning on the way?" |
16184 | And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another,"Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" |
16184 | And they reasoned with themselves, saying,"If we shall say,''From heaven''; he will say unto us,''Why did ye not believe him?'' |
16184 | And they said one to another,"Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?" |
16184 | And they said unto him,"Rabbi"( which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher),"where abidest thou?" |
16184 | And they said unto him,"Where is he?" |
16184 | And they said,"Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? |
16184 | And they say unto her,"Woman, why weepest thou?" |
16184 | And they that received the half- shekel came to Peter, and said"Doth not your teacher pay the half- shekel?" |
16184 | And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves,"Who is this that even forgiveth sins?" |
16184 | And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one,"Is it I, Lord?" |
16184 | And they were saying among themselves,"Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?" |
16184 | And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him,"Who art thou?" |
16184 | And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? |
16184 | And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" |
16184 | And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon,"Seest thou this woman? |
16184 | And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said,"What seekest thou?" |
16184 | And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him,"Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee, and sayest thou,''Who touched me?''" |
16184 | And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying,"What thinkest thou, Simon? |
16184 | And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying,"Answerest thou the high priest so?" |
16184 | And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow, and said unto Peter,"Simon, sleepest thou? |
16184 | And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve came, and said unto him,"Why speakest thou unto them in parables?" |
16184 | And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying,"Who is this?" |
16184 | And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately,"How is it that we could not cast it out?" |
16184 | And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them,"Believe ye that I am able to do this?" |
16184 | And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said,"Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?" |
16184 | And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? |
16184 | And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?'' |
16184 | And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples,"Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners?" |
16184 | And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying,"Who then can be saved?" |
16184 | And when the men were come unto him, they said,"John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying,''Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?''" |
16184 | And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John,"What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? |
16184 | And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him,"Rabbi, when camest thou hither?" |
16184 | And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him,"Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |
16184 | And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said,"Lord, shall we smite with the sword?" |
16184 | And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me? |
16184 | And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life? |
16184 | And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them,"Have ye here anything to eat?" |
16184 | And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother''s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? |
16184 | Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? |
16184 | Are not ye of much more value than they? |
16184 | Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? |
16184 | Art thou Elijah?" |
16184 | Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? |
16184 | Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?" |
16184 | Be not therefore anxious, saying,''What shall we eat?'' |
16184 | Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?" |
16184 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
16184 | Believest thou this?" |
16184 | But God said unto him,''Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee: and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?'' |
16184 | But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them,"Doth this cause you to stumble? |
16184 | But Jesus perceived their craftiness, and said,"Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites? |
16184 | But Jesus said unto him,"Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?" |
16184 | But John would have hindered him, saying,"I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?" |
16184 | But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said,"Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? |
16184 | But he answered and said to one of them,''Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling? |
16184 | But he answered and said unto him that told him,"Who is my mother? |
16184 | But he answered and said unto them,"See ye not all these things? |
16184 | But he said unto him,"Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?" |
16184 | But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus,"And who is my neighbor?" |
16184 | But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?" |
16184 | But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me,''Whither goest thou?'' |
16184 | But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said,"When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done?" |
16184 | But others said,"How can a man that is a sinner do such signs?" |
16184 | But some of them said,"Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?" |
16184 | But some said,"What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee? |
16184 | But the governor answered and said unto them,"Which of the two will ye that I release unto you?" |
16184 | But the other answered, and rebuking him said,"Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
16184 | But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,"Why doth this man thus speak? |
16184 | But they said,"What is that to us? |
16184 | But what went ye out to see? |
16184 | But what went ye out to see? |
16184 | Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" |
16184 | Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ? |
16184 | Couldest thou not watch one hour? |
16184 | Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you doeth the law? |
16184 | Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
16184 | Do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? |
16184 | Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded? |
16184 | For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" |
16184 | For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? |
16184 | For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? |
16184 | For what should a man give in exchange for his life? |
16184 | For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? |
16184 | For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it? |
16184 | Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? |
16184 | Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?" |
16184 | Having eyes, see ye not? |
16184 | He answered and said,"And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?" |
16184 | He answered them,"I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? |
16184 | He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus''breast, saith unto him,"Lord, who is it?" |
16184 | He saith unto him again a second time,"Simon, son of John, lovest thou me?" |
16184 | He saith unto him the third time,"Simon, son of John, lovest thou me?" |
16184 | He saith unto him,"Lord, dost thou wash my feet?" |
16184 | He saith unto him,"Which?" |
16184 | He that hath seen me hath seen the Father: how sayest thou,''Show us the Father?'' |
16184 | How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not? |
16184 | How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? |
16184 | How think ye? |
16184 | If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?" |
16184 | If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? |
16184 | If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things? |
16184 | If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? |
16184 | If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? |
16184 | In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? |
16184 | Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?" |
16184 | Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? |
16184 | Is not he that sitteth at meat? |
16184 | Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? |
16184 | Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? |
16184 | Jesus answered and said unto him,"Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things? |
16184 | Jesus answered and said unto him,"Because I said unto thee,''I saw thee underneath the fig tree,''believest thou? |
16184 | Jesus answered him,"If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?" |
16184 | Jesus answered them,"Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" |
16184 | Jesus answered them,"Do ye now believe? |
16184 | Jesus answered them,"Is it not written in your law,''I said, Ye are gods?'' |
16184 | Jesus answered them,"Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?" |
16184 | Jesus answered,"Are there not twelve hours in the day? |
16184 | Jesus answered,"Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?" |
16184 | Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and finding him, he said,"Dost thou believe on the Son of God?" |
16184 | Jesus said therefore unto the twelve,"Would ye also go away?" |
16184 | Jesus saith unto her,"Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" |
16184 | Jesus saith unto her,"Woman, why weepest thou? |
16184 | Jesus saith unto him,"Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? |
16184 | Jesus saith unto him,"If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? |
16184 | Jesus saith unto them,"How many loaves have ye? |
16184 | Jesus therefore saith unto them,"Children, have ye aught to eat?" |
16184 | Judas( not Iscariot) saith unto him,"Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?" |
16184 | Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?" |
16184 | Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said,"This is a hard saying; who can hear it?" |
16184 | Nathanael saith unto him,"Whence knowest thou me?" |
16184 | Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" |
16184 | Nicodemus answered and said unto him,"How can these things be?" |
16184 | Nicodemus saith unto him,"How can a man be born when he is old? |
16184 | Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?" |
16184 | Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? |
16184 | Now while the Pharisees were gathered together Jesus asked them a question, saying,"What think ye of the Christ? |
16184 | Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless? |
16184 | Or thinkest thou that I can not beseech my Father and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? |
16184 | Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? |
16184 | Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus,"Lord, and what shall this man do?" |
16184 | Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time,"Lovest thou me?" |
16184 | Pilate answered,"Am I a Jew? |
16184 | Pilate saith unto him,"What is truth?" |
16184 | Pilate saith unto them,"Shall I crucify your King?" |
16184 | Pilate saith unto them,"What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ?" |
16184 | Pilate therefore entered again into the Prætorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him,"Art thou the King of the Jews?" |
16184 | Pilate therefore said unto him,"Art thou a king then?" |
16184 | Pilate therefore saith unto him,"Speakest thou not unto me? |
16184 | Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith,"What accusation bring ye against this man?" |
16184 | Salt is good; but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? |
16184 | Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? |
16184 | Say not ye,''There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest''? |
16184 | Simon Peter answered him,"Lord, to whom shall we go? |
16184 | Simon Peter saith unto him,"Lord, whither goest thou?" |
16184 | So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them,"Know ye what I have done to you? |
16184 | So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,"Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these?" |
16184 | Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said,"Is not this he whom they seek to kill? |
16184 | Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? |
16184 | That he will not come to the feast?" |
16184 | The Jews answered and said unto him,"Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?" |
16184 | The Jews therefore answered and said unto him,"What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?" |
16184 | The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him,"How long dost thou hold us in suspense? |
16184 | The Jews therefore marvelled, saying,"How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?" |
16184 | The Jews therefore said among themselves,"Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? |
16184 | The Jews therefore said unto him,"Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?" |
16184 | The Jews therefore said,"Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?" |
16184 | The Jews therefore said,"Will he kill himself, that he saith,''Whither I go, ye can not come?''" |
16184 | The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said,"Where is he?" |
16184 | The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying,"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" |
16184 | The Pharisees therefore answered them,"Are ye also led astray? |
16184 | The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him,"How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman?" |
16184 | The baptism of John, whence was it? |
16184 | The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said,"What do we? |
16184 | The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" |
16184 | The disciples say unto him,"Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?" |
16184 | The disciples therefore said one to another,"Hath any man brought him aught to eat?" |
16184 | The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter,"Art thou also one of this man''s disciples?" |
16184 | The multitude answered,"Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?" |
16184 | The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said,"Is not this he that sat and begged?" |
16184 | The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them,"Why did ye not bring him?" |
16184 | The woman saith unto him,"Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence then hast thou that living water? |
16184 | The young ruler saith unto him,"All these things have I observed from my youth up; what lack I yet?" |
16184 | Then answered Peter and said unto him,"Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?" |
16184 | Then came Peter and said to him,"Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? |
16184 | Then came the disciples, and said unto him,"Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?" |
16184 | Then said he to another,''And how much owest thou?'' |
16184 | Then saith Pilate unto him,"Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?" |
16184 | They answered and said unto him,"Art thou also of Galilee? |
16184 | They answered and said unto him,"Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us?" |
16184 | They answered unto him,"We are Abraham''s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man; how sayest thou,''Ye shall be made free''?" |
16184 | They asked him,"Who is the man that said unto thee,''Take up thy bed, and walk''?" |
16184 | They said therefore unto him,"How then were thine eyes opened?" |
16184 | They said therefore unto him,"What did he to thee? |
16184 | They said therefore unto him,"What must we do, that we may work the works of God?" |
16184 | They said therefore unto him,"What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? |
16184 | They said therefore unto him,"Where is thy Father?" |
16184 | They said therefore unto him,"Who art thou? |
16184 | They said therefore unto him,"Who art thou?" |
16184 | They said therefore,"What is this that he saith,''A little while''? |
16184 | They say therefore unto the blind man again,"What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes?" |
16184 | They say unto him,"Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away?" |
16184 | They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple,"What think ye? |
16184 | Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?" |
16184 | Thomas saith unto him,"Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?" |
16184 | Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him,"Are we also blind?" |
16184 | Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?" |
16184 | What is it which these witness against thee?" |
16184 | What is this word that he said,''Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye can not come''?" |
16184 | What sayest thou of thyself?" |
16184 | What then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before? |
16184 | When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?" |
16184 | When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him,"Wouldest thou be made whole?" |
16184 | When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid; and he entered into the Prætorium again, and saith unto Jesus,"Whence art thou?" |
16184 | When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?" |
16184 | Where is my guest- chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?'' |
16184 | Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy,''Thy sins are forgiven,''or to say,''Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?'' |
16184 | Which of the two did the will of his father?" |
16184 | Which of them therefore will love him most?" |
16184 | Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers?" |
16184 | Which of you convicteth me of sin? |
16184 | While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue''s house, saying,"Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further?" |
16184 | Whom seekest thou?" |
16184 | Why askest thou me? |
16184 | Why do ye not understand my speech? |
16184 | Why seek ye to kill me?" |
16184 | Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? |
16184 | Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also? |
16184 | Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold? |
16184 | Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye?" |
16184 | Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? |
16184 | Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? |
16184 | a man clothed in soft raiment? |
16184 | a prophet? |
16184 | a reed shaken with the wind? |
16184 | and are not his sisters here with us?" |
16184 | and do ye not remember? |
16184 | and having ears, hear ye not? |
16184 | and how, shall ye know all the parables? |
16184 | and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?" |
16184 | and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?" |
16184 | and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart? |
16184 | and who are my brethren?" |
16184 | and,"What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and what mean such mighty works wrought by his hands? |
16184 | art thou come to destroy us? |
16184 | but where are the nine? |
16184 | but ye have made it a den of robbers?" |
16184 | can he enter a second time into his mother''s womb, and be born?" |
16184 | did no man condemn thee?" |
16184 | do not even the Gentiles the same? |
16184 | do not even the publicans the same? |
16184 | from heaven or from men?" |
16184 | from their sons, or from strangers?" |
16184 | have ye not yet faith?" |
16184 | have ye your heart hardened? |
16184 | he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, even God?" |
16184 | how doth he now say''I am come down out of heaven''?" |
16184 | how long shall I bear with you? |
16184 | how readest thou?" |
16184 | how then doth he now see?" |
16184 | knew ye not that I must be in my Father''s house?" |
16184 | or athirst, and gave thee drink? |
16184 | or in what parable shall we set it forth? |
16184 | or is thine eye evil, because I am good?'' |
16184 | or naked, and clothed thee? |
16184 | or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" |
16184 | or who is he that gave thee this authority?" |
16184 | or,"Why speakest thou with her?" |
16184 | or,''What shall we drink?'' |
16184 | or,''Wherewithal shall we be clothed?'' |
16184 | shall they not both fall into a pit? |
16184 | that we may give an answer to them that sent us? |
16184 | the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? |
16184 | to save a life or to destroy it? |
16184 | until seven times?" |
16184 | what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? |
16184 | what workest thou? |
16184 | whence then hath it tares?'' |
16184 | who is this Son of man?" |
16184 | whose son is he?" |
16184 | will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? |
16184 | would ye also become his disciples?" |
22735 | A friend,said Dathan;"has anything sad happened to thee? |
22735 | And besides,said Dariabbas,"what does the governor care about the life of a single Galilean? |
22735 | And thou canst still care for him after that? |
22735 | Are also your eyes so heavy that you could not watch? |
22735 | Are we really going forward again? |
22735 | Art thou asleep? |
22735 | Art thou not experienced in this branch of the business? 22735 But where,"said Caiaphas,"are these traders to be found?" |
22735 | But, master, what will become of us if thou givest up thy life? |
22735 | But,continued Caiaphas,"wilt thou not repent of it? |
22735 | But,said Herod,"how can I be a judge in a foreign territory? |
22735 | But,said Josue,"how shall we know him in the darkness so as not to arrest another in place of the one we desire?" |
22735 | Come down,cried one of the witnesses,"Art thou not the Son of God?" |
22735 | Did Pilate say that? 22735 Dost thou need anything else?" |
22735 | Has it fallen? |
22735 | Hast thou not heard,said the traders,"of the proclamation of the council? |
22735 | Have not his pride and presumption deserted him even as he hangs helpless on the cross? |
22735 | Have you condemned him? |
22735 | He must,said the rabbi,"how could he resist it when the Sanhedrin and the whole people demand with one voice the death of this man?" |
22735 | Hear that, Judas? |
22735 | How could that be? |
22735 | How did that happen? |
22735 | I wonder,said Arphaxad,"whether his disciples will be sought after?" |
22735 | Is it possible? |
22735 | Is there such a one in the market? |
22735 | Is this your will? |
22735 | Let him come in; why does he stand out in the cold? |
22735 | Lord,said Andrew,"one of us twelve?" |
22735 | Not the temple? |
22735 | Now who,said they,"can earn it easier than thou?" |
22735 | Now, how have things gone? |
22735 | Now, what shall we do? |
22735 | Perhaps,said Baruch,"you desire to take the Passover with us?" |
22735 | Shall I now,said Annas,"in my gray old age see the synagogue overthrown? |
22735 | So I have been thinking,said Judas,"but how can I find a good opening?" |
22735 | Then this man belongeth to my jurisdiction? 22735 Thou pitiable king of the Jews,"said one of the soldiers as they knelt and mockingly did homage to him,"what kind of a king can this be? |
22735 | Welcome, strangers,said Mark,"how can I serve you?" |
22735 | Well, of what evil deeds has he been guilty? |
22735 | What accusation have you to bring against this man? |
22735 | What desirest thou, my mother? |
22735 | What do ye here, apostates? |
22735 | What does this multitude want? |
22735 | What has driven you crazy? 22735 What has led to this?" |
22735 | What is it? |
22735 | What is that uproar? |
22735 | What need we any further witnesses? |
22735 | What proclamation? |
22735 | What sayest thou to that? |
22735 | What terrible noise is that? |
22735 | What, wilt thou not? |
22735 | What,said Pilate,"shall I crucify your king?" |
22735 | What,said the rabbi,"thou contemptible traitor, wilt thou dictate to the Sanhedrin? |
22735 | Where is he? |
22735 | Where is he? |
22735 | Where,asked the rabbi,"are his disciples? |
22735 | Where,said one of the hangmen,"shall we put them?" |
22735 | Where? 22735 Who amongst us,"said James the elder,"will have the first place?" |
22735 | Who can this man be? |
22735 | Who,he asked,"has to watch over the purity of the law? |
22735 | Why didst thou let thyself be made the tool for a transaction which thou didst not weigh beforehand? |
22735 | Why do you ask me this so eagerly? |
22735 | Why have you come here? |
22735 | Why not? |
22735 | Why troublest thou this people? |
22735 | Why? |
22735 | Will the trial soon come to an end? |
22735 | Will ye not that I release unto you the king of the Jews? |
22735 | You hear that? |
22735 | ****** Ah, see the king that''s crowned in scorn, What monarch such a crown has worn Or scepter borne, and he so great? |
22735 | A rabbi said,"Could some one be sent from the council in order to give him timely information?" |
22735 | A servant of Pilate opened it and said,"Welcome, rabbi, will you not come in?" |
22735 | A shudder ran through the Sanhedrin, and all cried excitedly,"Art thou the Son of God?" |
22735 | After awhile the soldiers, who were lying prostrate on the ground said to each other,"Brother, what has happened to us?" |
22735 | Again Caiaphas turned to Jesus and said,"What has thou to say against this evidence?" |
22735 | Agrippa held it up,"The mantle has made just four pieces; shall we rip up the coat also? |
22735 | All that appears is a blank line followed by the single word:]"me?" |
22735 | And Balbus, seeing that Jesus opened not his mouth, and was silent, shouted in his ear,"Dost thou hear? |
22735 | And Dathan added,"Dost thou still remember what thou didst to us in the temple?" |
22735 | And Judas, with staring eyes, as one demented, repeated,"Die? |
22735 | And Mary said to John,"O beloved disciple, how will it have gone with Jesus since thou didst last see him in the house of Caiaphas?" |
22735 | And Nathanael said,"And is this rebel still to remain unpunished, still to scatter abroad the seed of revolt?" |
22735 | And after a pause, seeing that Jesus still spoke not, he said,"Hast thou nothing to say in reply?" |
22735 | And are they bringing him a prisoner here to me?" |
22735 | And as they marched away, driving Jesus before them the traders derided him, saying,"Doth Beelzebub, then, aid thee no longer?" |
22735 | And the soldiers laughed as they said,"Thou hast often dreamed of this; is it not so?" |
22735 | And then the traders, led by one Dathan, chimed in, in eager chorus:"Must there then be no more sacrifices?" |
22735 | And what has kindled in their mind Of fury such a fiery flood? |
22735 | And would thou sell thy master dear For base gain? |
22735 | Andrew, giving expression to the general consternation, asked,"Wherefore shall the city have so sad a doom?" |
22735 | Annas cried out to Joseph of Arimathea,"Dost thou still persist in thy headstrong obstinacy? |
22735 | Annas exclaimed,"It is enough; what need have we of any further witnesses?" |
22735 | Annas frowned,"Has the deceiver also bewitched thee?" |
22735 | Are things not well with him? |
22735 | Art thou not ashamed to do honor to the very corpse of an executed malefactor?" |
22735 | As Selpha appeared bringing Jesus into the street the watch cried out loudly,"Ha, is this business already over?" |
22735 | As he was speaking, Judas, looking haggard and distracted, rushed into the midst of the council, crying wildly,"Is it true? |
22735 | As they were kneeling around him in scorn a messenger of Caiaphas entered saying,"How goes it now with the king?" |
22735 | As they were talking Esdras came out from the house of Annas and asked,"What do you want at the palace at this time of night?" |
22735 | At last Peter ventured to say,"Master, why grievest thou so sorely?" |
22735 | Baruch looked around as he came to the door of his master''s house, and, seeing the disciples, said,"Will you come in with me, friends? |
22735 | Betrayest thou the son of man with a kiss?" |
22735 | But Jesus a second time asked,"Whom seek ye?" |
22735 | But Jesus said:"How is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? |
22735 | But Mary answered,"How can a mother leave her child in the last and bitterest need?" |
22735 | But Mary said,"What may this noise signify? |
22735 | But collecting himself he asked,"What did he order about the breaking of the bones?" |
22735 | But how, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?" |
22735 | But tell me, when and where has he stirred up any commotion?" |
22735 | But the other thief who was crucified on the right, answered and said,"Dost thou not fear God, seeing that thou art in the same condemnation? |
22735 | But when and where shall we meet?" |
22735 | But where is there any fire?" |
22735 | But, oh, will he be saved by that? |
22735 | Caiaphas asked him,"Art thou steadfastly resolved to do our will?" |
22735 | Caiaphas exclaimed,"What does this mean? |
22735 | Caiaphas indignantly asked, while the priests and Pharisees crowded around,"Did he give you no answer at all?" |
22735 | Caiaphas, hearing him, asked,"What is written?" |
22735 | Can I carry your message?" |
22735 | Can he be John, risen from the dead?" |
22735 | Can the reaper tarry in the shade while the ripe harvest awaits him? |
22735 | Could they have taken him away again?" |
22735 | Could you make a little room for this young man here?" |
22735 | Do n''t you hear? |
22735 | Do we all agree to this?" |
22735 | Do you hear the crash of falling rocks? |
22735 | Does a master care thus for his own?" |
22735 | Does he not deserve the death punishment of high treason?" |
22735 | Even Pilate himself''s touched with compassion now Foolish people and blinded, Have you no hearts to pity him? |
22735 | Fearest thou not that the curse which the law denounces against the apostate will crush thee? |
22735 | For after all, what was the passion? |
22735 | For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?" |
22735 | For thirty pieces of silver wouldst thou now sell that most loving friend and benefactor? |
22735 | For whether is greatest he that sitteth at meat or he that serveth? |
22735 | Hagar, who saw John standing in the entrance of the door, said,"John, comest thou also hither in the middle of the night? |
22735 | Hardly had he gone, when John entered at the other end of the street, asking anxiously, looking on either side,"Where, then, can Peter have gone? |
22735 | Has he not given himself out as a God, when he is nothing but a man?" |
22735 | Hast thou nothing to answer?" |
22735 | Hath he not also as a deceiver worked his pretended miracles by the aid of Beelzebub? |
22735 | Have I not been appointed by the master to carry the bag?" |
22735 | Have we not heard from the prophets that the Messiah shall live forever? |
22735 | Have you brought forward your complaints before him?" |
22735 | Have you condemned my Master to death?" |
22735 | Have you not long ago deserved your fate? |
22735 | He growled from his distant seat,"To what purpose is this waste? |
22735 | Hearing Jesus speak, the thief who was crucified on his left said unto him,"Hearest thou? |
22735 | How can he be without guilt who treads this very law beneath his feet?" |
22735 | How can the strangers who come from the land of the Gentiles to worship God perform their devotions in this tumult of usury? |
22735 | How canst thou forbid that which the council has allowed?" |
22735 | How comes it if there were no dynamo at the other end of that long coil of centuries, that the light should still be shining at our end today? |
22735 | How have I deserved that he should choose my house before all others that are in Jerusalem in which to celebrate the Passover? |
22735 | How is it with the master? |
22735 | How?" |
22735 | I must see him, but where can I find him? |
22735 | If he were really of higher origin? |
22735 | Is he not a prophet?" |
22735 | Is he then never going to leave the land of Judea again?" |
22735 | Is it not known everywhere how he desecrated the Sabbath; how he has misled the people by his seditious speeches? |
22735 | Is it not the holy Sanhedrin of the people of Israel? |
22735 | Is it not true that thou hast never expected such an honor? |
22735 | Is it only pity for the poor which moves thee so much?" |
22735 | Is it possible that the same people this day call for death and destruction upon him? |
22735 | Is not that to challenge the imperial authority?" |
22735 | Is this a proceeding worthy of the fathers of the people of God?" |
22735 | Is this the house of God, or is it a market- place? |
22735 | Is what is done for me, thy master, waste?" |
22735 | It was done, and Quintus came out, saying,"What does this crowd of people want here?" |
22735 | James said,"Why does our dear master thus separate us from one another?" |
22735 | Jesus answered them saying,"Do ye now believe? |
22735 | Jesus answered,"Friend, wherefore art thou come? |
22735 | Jesus answered,"If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil, but if I have spoken well why smitest thou me?" |
22735 | Jesus answered,"Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or only because others have told it to thee?" |
22735 | Jesus said,"Could you not watch with me one hour?" |
22735 | Jesus said,"Simon, dost thou sleep?" |
22735 | Jesus, after a little while, noticing the muttering down the table, asked,"What are you saying to each other? |
22735 | Joseph said,"What shall we do? |
22735 | Judas complacently answered,"Did I not tell you that he would be in your power today?" |
22735 | Judas retorted,"Who will take thought if I do not? |
22735 | Judas said,"One of his disciples?" |
22735 | Judas started as if a serpent had stung him and striking his head with his hand cried,"Who calls?" |
22735 | Judas, alarmed, asked,"Who are these? |
22735 | Judas, staring backward, exclaimed:"Thou art my friend, my brother?" |
22735 | Judas, staring wildly, asked,"Who art thou?" |
22735 | Judas, suspiciously eyeing them, asked,"Do you also perhaps wish to go after the master?" |
22735 | Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee and to release thee?" |
22735 | Mary asked him:"My son, where shall I see thee again?" |
22735 | Nay, of what use has been even the excommunication pronounced on all who acknowledged him as the Messiah? |
22735 | Nero called out to the thief,"Movest thou no more? |
22735 | O Judas, art thou blinded quite By untamed greed of gold and gear? |
22735 | O, Judas, Judas, what hast thou done?" |
22735 | O, who can know the love that lives In this heart now laid bare, That kindness back for hatred gives And saves us from despair? |
22735 | Oh, what has made them mad and blind? |
22735 | One of the executioners said unto him,"Is the burden already too heavy?" |
22735 | One of them awaking, cried,"Brothers, is not the night nearly over?" |
22735 | One of these, Nicodemus, stood up and asked the Sanhedrin,"How can you conclude so godless a bargain?" |
22735 | Or dost thou dare?" |
22735 | Others came in and also struck him, saying,"Was it I?" |
22735 | Over how many tribes and nations and kindreds of men? |
22735 | Peter and John, who stood the one on the left and the other on the right, asked,"Where wilt thou, Lord, that we prepare the Passover?" |
22735 | Peter and Philip asked Jesus, saying,"Lord, shall we smite with the sword?" |
22735 | Peter passionately cried,"Why can I not follow thee now? |
22735 | Peter replied,"What wilt thou, Lord?" |
22735 | Peter started up from the fire over which he had been warming his hands and stammered out,"I? |
22735 | Peter, hearing his voice, said,"What is it, master?" |
22735 | Peter, starting backward in amazement, said,"Lord, dost thou wash my feet?" |
22735 | Pilate answered,"Am I a Jew? |
22735 | Pilate asked him,"What bringest thou from my dear spouse?" |
22735 | Pilate asked,"Where have you proof of that?" |
22735 | Pilate having looked upon him asked,"What accusations have you to bring against this man?" |
22735 | Pilate pleaded,"Can not even this pitiful sight awake any compassion in your hearts?" |
22735 | Ptolomaus, the priest, then turned to the watch and said,"Do you hear? |
22735 | Quintus promised to announce them at once, and the rabbi turning to the members of the Sanhedrin, said,"Do you hear? |
22735 | Repulsed on every side, Judas, striking his forehead with his hand, cried,"Woe is me; what have I done? |
22735 | Said Simon,"I hear a tumult-- an outcry of a crowd-- what has happened in the city? |
22735 | Say to him,''Write not the king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews?''" |
22735 | Say-- art thou the Messiah, the Son of the Most High?" |
22735 | Several then asked together,"How much longer must we wait here?" |
22735 | Shall I avoid the good fortune which is coming to meet me? |
22735 | Shall I go in? |
22735 | Shall I let it slip?" |
22735 | Shall he die? |
22735 | Shall my Father''s house be thus dishonored? |
22735 | Shortly after he said unto them,"Children, why are ye so sad and why look ye on me so sorrowfully? |
22735 | Shudders not thy soul in dire affright? |
22735 | Simon replied with a puzzled air,"Why does he compare himself to a grain of corn?" |
22735 | Simon replied,"Only not by force like this,"and then beholding Christ he said,"What is this I see? |
22735 | Simon, sore troubled in speech as he heard these words, said unto him,"Then wilt thou really depart hence forever?" |
22735 | Standing and listening, he said,"Surely, there is some one there? |
22735 | Thaddeus said to Simon,"What does he mean by this speech?" |
22735 | That which is hidden from the proud is revealed unto babes?" |
22735 | That would be too terrible if my Master-- no!--and I-- guilty of it? |
22735 | The Magdalene said,"Mother, wilt thou not rest a little here, while we prepare his resting place?" |
22735 | The attention of the whole band being aroused, they all clustered around Peter, asking,"Art thou also one of the disciples?" |
22735 | The cup which the Father hath given, shall I not drink it? |
22735 | The disciples seeing his departure wondered among themselves, and Thomas said to Simon,"Why does Judas go away?" |
22735 | The other apostles who had not heard this kept on asking,"Who can it be?" |
22735 | The others shrugged their shoulders and said,"What does he care about us?" |
22735 | The people answered mockingly:"Then, if so, why did you not arrest him? |
22735 | The priests, shocked at their homage, were sorely displeased, and appealed to Jesus, saying:"Hearest thou what they say? |
22735 | The servant said,"Is that so? |
22735 | The third executioner, pushing them roughly away, said,"What use are your women''s tears? |
22735 | The women answered,"Alas, how will it be in the future for us and our children?" |
22735 | Then Annas exclaimed,"Wilt thou even now defy us, when thy life and death are in our power? |
22735 | Then Caiaphas spake unto Jesus, saying,"Jesus of Nazareth, dost thou stand by the words which thou hast pronounced this night before thy judges?" |
22735 | Then Caiaphas turned to Jesus and said,"What sayest thou unto this?" |
22735 | Then Caiaphas, turning to Jesus, spoke to him with indignation:"So thou hast claimed to possess a superhuman divine power? |
22735 | Then Jesus looked upon him with compassion and said,"Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? |
22735 | Then Jesus looked upon them and said,"So long a time have I been amongst you and you are still entangled in earthly things? |
22735 | Then John whispered to Jesus, saying,"Lord, who is it?" |
22735 | Then Judas said unto him,"Canst thou keep silence?" |
22735 | Then Martha asked,"Wilt thou Lord, grant me the happiness of serving thee?" |
22735 | Then Mary cried as she looked on the scene,"Oh where is any sorrow like unto my sorrow?" |
22735 | Then Nathanael arose, and standing on the right hand of Caiaphas, said:"Is it allowed; O, fathers, to say a word?" |
22735 | Then Pilate said unto him with some surprise,"Dost thou not speak even unto me? |
22735 | Then Thomas said,"Will each one of us have lordship over a separate land?" |
22735 | Then after wildly looking around to see if anyone was near, he said:"Oh, where, where can I go to hide my shame, to escape the torments of conscience? |
22735 | Then again said Caiaphas,"What does the law decree concerning him who profaneth the Sabbath?" |
22735 | Then asked Caiaphas,"How does the law punish the blasphemer?" |
22735 | Then asked Pilate in surprise,"Has he come out of Galilee?" |
22735 | Then burst from their lips the despairing cry,"Alas, what affliction lies before us all?" |
22735 | Then exclaimed all the disciples together,"Alas, Lord, is this then the last Passover?" |
22735 | Then one of the band went up to him and shouted,"Hearest thou nothing?" |
22735 | Then said Caiaphas to Judas,"Knowest thou the man whom the council seeks?" |
22735 | Then said Caiaphas,"Art thou silent? |
22735 | Then said Caiaphas,"What is thy name?" |
22735 | Then said Caiaphas,"What shall we do with this money? |
22735 | Then said Caiaphas:"Dost thou also speak in this wise? |
22735 | Then said Herod,"What have you really against him?" |
22735 | Then said Jesus unto them,"Do you know what I have done unto you? |
22735 | Then said Jesus unto them,"When I sent you out without purse or scrip, or shoes, lacked ye anything?" |
22735 | Then said John, when the dolorous procession had passed,"Mother, shall we not go back to Bethany? |
22735 | Then said John,"Good Hagar, I have a companion with me; can he not also come in?" |
22735 | Then said John,"Lord, tell us what shall this fate be?" |
22735 | Then said Manasses to Jesus,"Why should you not display your wisdom here? |
22735 | Then said Mary, the mother of Jesus,"Whither shall we go, O friends, oh, whither, that I may but once more see my beloved son? |
22735 | Then said Nicodemus:"Is the sentence already pronounced upon this man before there has been an examination or hearing of the witnesses? |
22735 | Then said Peter unto him,"Lord, whither goest thou?" |
22735 | Then said Peter unto him,"Master, when this kingdom shall appear, how will the offices be portioned out?" |
22735 | Then said Peter,"How will it fare here with our good master? |
22735 | Then said Pilate,"Art thou a king then?" |
22735 | Then said Pilate,"Why, what evil hath he done? |
22735 | Then said Rabinth, seeing they had approached the place of Pilate,"How shall we bring our message to Pilate? |
22735 | Then said he to the people,"What shall I do with the king of the Jews?" |
22735 | Then said the centurion to Jesus,"Wilt thou not drink? |
22735 | Then said the disciples one to another,"What is he going to do?" |
22735 | Then said the rabbi unto him,"Why dost thou force thyself uncalled for in this assembly? |
22735 | Then said the traders,"Has he gone to Jerusalem?" |
22735 | Then stepping forward to meet the armed band, he faced them fearlessly and said,"Whom seek ye?" |
22735 | Then stood up Nicodemus and said:"O, fathers, is it allowed to say one word?" |
22735 | Then the soldiers thrust him forward, crying,"Shall we have to carry thee in our arms? |
22735 | Then the soldiers turned to Jesus and said,"Hearest thou that, O king and prophet?" |
22735 | Then they cried to Christ, as they went off to the palace of Herod,"One hour sooner or later, what matters it? |
22735 | Then turning to Jesus he said,"Lord remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom?" |
22735 | Then turning to the Pharisees he said,"Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves to take me? |
22735 | Then while these words were on their lips, Judas, fearing lest his silence should be observed, started forward and asked furtively,"Lord, is it I?" |
22735 | Then, Caiaphas, turning to Judas, said:"But, Judas, how will the band be able to distinguish the Master in the darkness?" |
22735 | Then, speaking to Jesus he said,"Art thou the king of the Jews?" |
22735 | They seated him on a stool with a bandage over his eyes, and surrounded him mockingly, saying,"Is not this throne too mean for thee, great king? |
22735 | Thinkest thou I can not now pray to my Father, and he would presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? |
22735 | Thomas and Simon, speaking together with the same thought and same words, asked,"Who can this faithless one be?" |
22735 | Thou art so absorbed in thought?" |
22735 | Thou wilt cleave to Moses and yet defendest thou that which the law condemns? |
22735 | Thou wilt not be able to bear the sight?" |
22735 | Thou wilt not, or thou canst not? |
22735 | To us or to him who has proclaimed himself the expounder of a new law?" |
22735 | To whom will you listen; to us or to him? |
22735 | We dare not enter the house of the Gentile today, as in that case we should become unclean and could not eat the Passover?" |
22735 | What am I going to do but let the Jews know where the master is to be found? |
22735 | What answerest thou?" |
22735 | What are we to understand by them? |
22735 | What askest thou me? |
22735 | What can I do for him, I, a miserable wretch who have delivered him into their hands? |
22735 | What can it be?" |
22735 | What can thine enemies do unto thee? |
22735 | What can we do so long as he is not in our power?" |
22735 | What comes there? |
22735 | What do you think, my friends, of the complaint of the Jewish priests?" |
22735 | What does this man matter to me?" |
22735 | What ground is there for this?" |
22735 | What has he done?" |
22735 | What induced thee to take this step?" |
22735 | What is this?" |
22735 | What is to be done now? |
22735 | What need have we of any further witnesses? |
22735 | What new orders are required? |
22735 | What now lacks for the destruction of all civil and ecclesiastical order? |
22735 | What shall we do with this man when God has delivered him into our hands?" |
22735 | What think ye?" |
22735 | What will be the end of all this?" |
22735 | What will you give me if I deliver him up to you?" |
22735 | When Annas saw Jesus he said,"Have you brought him alone as prisoner?" |
22735 | When Pilate heard this he said,"What is truth?" |
22735 | When shall we come to Calvary?" |
22735 | Whence art thou?" |
22735 | Where is he, that he may experience our vengeance?" |
22735 | Where is the trace of deity? |
22735 | Wherein does it modify orthodox opinions? |
22735 | Which will ye that I shall release unto you, Barabbas or Jesus, who is called the Christ?" |
22735 | While they were busy Mary Magdalene went out to the centurion and said to him:"May we not even pay the last honors to our friend?" |
22735 | Who is he?" |
22735 | Who knows? |
22735 | Why should your power vanish before the eyes of the king, even as a soap bubble?" |
22735 | Why, then, should the death of one Jew have transformed the world, while the death of these uncounted thousands failed even to save the synagogue? |
22735 | Why? |
22735 | Why?--I keep asking why? |
22735 | Wilt thou accuse the council of injustice?" |
22735 | Wilt thou not wipe it off?" |
22735 | Would you cease to be the chosen people?" |
22735 | Ye see him decked with purple shreds, They laugh and jeer and shake their heads, Is this the royal robe of state? |
22735 | Zadok exclaimed:"Dost thou know the holy law? |
22735 | [ Illustration:"What accusations have you to bring against this man?"] |
22735 | cried Martha,"thou art going; and comest thou back nevermore?" |
22735 | doth it dismay thee that thou wilt not go forward?" |
22735 | have they the famous man from Nazareth? |
22735 | he asked, and then turning to Jesus said to him,"Say, by what power hast thou done this?" |
22735 | not so brightly as could be wished, but to shine at all, is that in itself not miraculous? |
22735 | said Dathan,"hast thou then forsaken him? |
22735 | said Judas,"do you wish to become his followers?" |
22735 | said the traders contemptuously,"and art still willing to remain with him? |
22735 | said they,"for the last time? |
22735 | where is there another man on whom such guilt of blood doth rest? |
22735 | while the Magdalene timidly inquired,"Wilt thou despise a token of love and gratitude from me?" |
13335 | And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith,` Why doth this generation seek after a sign? 13335 Are there few that be saved?" |
13335 | Are ye also without understanding? |
13335 | Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? |
13335 | How are you to escape the judgement of Gehenna? |
13335 | How will this look in the Universe,he asks,"and before the Creator of Man?" |
13335 | If the friend in the house to your knowledge has the loaves, you will knock until you get them; and has not God the gifts for you that you need? 13335 Is it possible,"he will ask himself,"that I am deluded?" |
13335 | Is not this the carpenter? |
13335 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
13335 | The Son of Fact,--do you think this a true epithet? |
13335 | What could you do with signs? 13335 What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? |
13335 | Why callest thou me good? |
13335 | ( Mark 6:3); Matthew adds a word that may or may not be significant"his sisters are they not all with us?" |
13335 | ), or to the interpretation of this teaching by scholars of the apocalyptic school? |
13335 | 12:11), or will he refrain from leading his ox to the water on the Sabbath( Luke 13:15)? |
13335 | 1:21)? |
13335 | 21:23)? |
13335 | 5:28)? |
13335 | 5:39)? |
13335 | 5:41)? |
13335 | 6:26)? |
13335 | 6:32)? |
13335 | 6:32)? |
13335 | 7:5)? |
13335 | A dreamer, with the clouds of the visionaries and apocalyptists ever in his head? |
13335 | A glance at pearls on a table-- this, and this, and this he will take the other, perhaps; he would look at that one-- the rest? |
13335 | A man clothed in soft raiment? |
13335 | A prophet? |
13335 | A reed shaken with the wind? |
13335 | A warning to those who do not heed another''s need of"inward sustenance,"of spiritual life, of God? |
13335 | Again, when we read of his happy way in dealing with children, are we to draw no inference as to his face, and what it told the children? |
13335 | And another thought rises up again and again,"Where will it take me?" |
13335 | And even if they do not ask, because they do not know their need, will he not answer the prayers that others, who do know, make for them? |
13335 | And how long, under various names, had Cybele, Mother of Gods, been worshipped in Asia? |
13335 | And the Lord said to him,` How sayest thou,"The law I have kept and the prophets?" |
13335 | And the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
13335 | And there is another question: is this story going to be repeated? |
13335 | And to whom did he say this? |
13335 | And what the heart and nature, from which came this incredible power and reach of appeal? |
13335 | And whom would he describe as"lost"? |
13335 | And yet, where is that religion to- day? |
13335 | Are his own desires finally out of the reckoning? |
13335 | Are these pictures fanciful-- mere imagination? |
13335 | Are we afraid that our picture will be too modern, too little Jewish? |
13335 | Are we to think his face gave no sign of what he was doing? |
13335 | Are we to think that all the tenderness of Jesus came to him by a miracle when he was thirty years of age? |
13335 | Are you quite sure that there is any distinction in the other world between good and bad, between Jew and Gentile? |
13335 | As he sat out in the wild under the open sky, did the stars never speak to him, as to Hebrew psalmist and Roman Virgil? |
13335 | As we gradually realize what he has in mind, must we not feel that we have not grasped anything like the full grandeur of his thought? |
13335 | At any rate, there they are in the Christian experience; and where does anything that matters flow from but from God? |
13335 | But have they gone? |
13335 | But have we left the text too far? |
13335 | But how are they to go on? |
13335 | But is it the detail or the central fact that matters? |
13335 | But is that all? |
13335 | But still our first question is unanswered; why should it have been the cross? |
13335 | But was it not, perhaps, for far simpler and more natural reasons just because they were children, and little, and delightful? |
13335 | But what do we mean by x and y? |
13335 | But what evidence is there for that? |
13335 | But why no sign? |
13335 | But why should that involve the cross? |
13335 | But why? |
13335 | But, in fact, is it not true now that we really only know God through Jesus? |
13335 | Can he matter? |
13335 | Can not you trust your Father to control his wind and his sea? |
13335 | Can sin be put away at all? |
13335 | Can we penetrate to the analogy which he finds between the Jesus of the new experience and the old term which he uses? |
13335 | Can we say that we have any real, sure, and intimate knowledge of his experience of God? |
13335 | Can we, when we see what he has experienced, grasp the substance and build on that to the neglect of the term? |
13335 | Could a man count on God and how far? |
13335 | Could any one, on the other hand, forget it? |
13335 | Could he rely on God supporting him, on God wishing to have him in this world and the next? |
13335 | Could not the whole presentation of Christ be much simpler? |
13335 | Did he speak quickly or slowly? |
13335 | Did he, he asked, or was it"by the finger of God"( Luke 11:20)? |
13335 | Did it differ from St Paul''s? |
13335 | Did no one see the scene pictured with his own mind''s eye-- no one grasp the humour and the irony with delight? |
13335 | Did no one smile as the story was told? |
13335 | Do not men and women frankly enjoy the grappling of the little mind with big things? |
13335 | Do not such words reveal nature? |
13335 | Do not the diminutives mean something? |
13335 | Do they not take us into the midst of a group where friendship is real? |
13335 | Do we feel what he felt in the so- called trials-- or was he dull and numbed by the catastrophe? |
13335 | Do we pray in order to change the will of God? |
13335 | Do you agree that they are the principal ones? |
13335 | Do you agree with the writer''s exposition? |
13335 | Do you find this sort of antithesis in the Gospels? |
13335 | Do you, he asks, pray with anything like their determination to be heard? |
13335 | Does God care for people beyond the grave? |
13335 | Does God make His message clear, does He properly authenticate Himself? |
13335 | Does he choose God without reserve, and in a way that God, knowing his heart, will call a whole- hearted choice? |
13335 | Does he mean to be God''s up to the cross and beyond? |
13335 | Does he, in fact, deny-- negate-- himself( Mark 8:34)? |
13335 | Does intercourse with Nature make communion with God more real? |
13335 | Does our emphasis fall on the great features of that nature-- are they within our vision, and in our drawing? |
13335 | Does our explanation of him really explain him, or leave him more a riddle? |
13335 | Does the writer make Jesus too human? |
13335 | Does the writer overdo the importance of history? |
13335 | Does the writer underestimate the actual impress made on his age by Jesus? |
13335 | Does this belittle him? |
13335 | Does your reading of the Gospels incline you to agree with the writer? |
13335 | Embarrassment rises on their faces-- is it a mistake? |
13335 | First of all, how far does Jesus understand salvation to take a man? |
13335 | For it is hard to believe in man--"What is man that thou shouldest magnify him? |
13335 | For the insincere and the trivial there is no message from God, no truth of God-- how should there be? |
13335 | Had Jesus a sense of humour? |
13335 | Had he a method of teaching: if so, what was it? |
13335 | Has forgiveness been, in fact, achieved-- or salvation from sin? |
13335 | Has not this been the secret of the spread of the Gospel? |
13335 | Have we given his meaning to his term-- force, value, emotion, and suggestion? |
13335 | Have we realized the experience behind his thought? |
13335 | He is too busy, we think; and yet, after all, if God is so great, why should he be so busy? |
13335 | He smiled and said to his two troubled friends:"Is that all? |
13335 | Heaven has been invoked-- and what is Heaven? |
13335 | How and where did he begin himself? |
13335 | How came he to achieve poem or picture, so profound and so true? |
13335 | How can I forget you? |
13335 | How can ordinary people"make sure of the experience behind the thought of Jesus?" |
13335 | How can they be so light and yet have such power? |
13335 | How can they? |
13335 | How could they fail to? |
13335 | How did he bear the beating of triumphant hatred upon a forsaken spirit? |
13335 | How did he come to speak in this manner, to say this and that? |
13335 | How did he know that Peter was there, and what led him to turn at that moment? |
13335 | How did the Church do it? |
13335 | How did they come? |
13335 | How do they look at it? |
13335 | How do you picture the life he lived with his disciples? |
13335 | How does Jesus conceive of salvation? |
13335 | How does a man come to think and feel as he does? |
13335 | How does he face them? |
13335 | How far are we prepared to go in sharing that experience? |
13335 | How far will men commit themselves to God? |
13335 | How has it come about? |
13335 | How is it that Jesus comes into the wasted life and makes it new? |
13335 | How is it that men can"reject the counsel of God,"refuse God''s plans and ideas( Luke 7:30)? |
13335 | How is it that they forget God altogether? |
13335 | How is it that to another man, with the same upbringing as ours, everything is different, everything means more? |
13335 | How is it that, when John Wesley made the same discovery, and once more staked all on faith in Christ, again the Church felt the pulse of new life? |
13335 | How many men to- day will say what they really think before a man in clerical dress, or a dignitary however trivial? |
13335 | How many of the parables turn on energy? |
13335 | How much is involved in the name"Father,"which Jesus so uniformly gives to God? |
13335 | How much of a human father is available for his children? |
13335 | How should a person, who does not care for men, understand the cross? |
13335 | How was it done? |
13335 | How would you introduce the Christian faith to one who believed and took part in the Eleusinian cult of Demeter? |
13335 | How would you state to a non- Christian the three principal elements in Jesus''teaching about the character of God? |
13335 | How? |
13335 | How_ can_ a man know that he has done his best? |
13335 | How_ could_ it go? |
13335 | If Jesus comes to them with a word from God, can he not prove its authenticity preferably with"a sign from the sky"( Mark 8:11)? |
13335 | If Paul was wrong, how did he capture the Christian Church for his ideas? |
13335 | If he is a real Father, why should not he be at leisure for his children? |
13335 | If he speaks of prayer, must we not think he means that God wants it as much as his child can want it? |
13335 | If it is the incarnation of God, what right have we not to be afraid? |
13335 | If it is urged that such things are natural to man--"do not even the publicans the same?" |
13335 | If the friend in the house to your knowledge has the loaves, you will knock till you get them; and has not God the gifts for you that you need? |
13335 | Ignorance, as to germs or precipices or what not, leads to destruction"in pari materia"; in the moral sphere can it be otherwise? |
13335 | In a word, what is a man''s fundamental attitude to God and God''s facts? |
13335 | In his case, as in every other, the central and crucial question is, What is his experience of God? |
13335 | In other words, What has he found in God? |
13335 | In the meantime, if God was going to damn the Gentiles in the next world, why should not the Jews do it in this? |
13335 | In what does he differ from other men, that he should do work so fundamental and so eternal? |
13335 | In what way? |
13335 | Is he short of the power to help, or is it the will to help that is wanting in God? |
13335 | Is he short of the power to help, or is it the will to help that is wanting in God?" |
13335 | Is it a great figure? |
13335 | Is it a real fatherhood where such things do not appeal? |
13335 | Is it in our picture? |
13335 | Is it not fair to say that many of our current judgements upon Jesus Christ are no better founded? |
13335 | Is it not so still in the East? |
13335 | Is it not the same picture which Jesus draws of"joy in heaven in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth"? |
13335 | Is it not the sternest and deepest feeling, after all, when a man will not"unpack his heart with words"? |
13335 | Is it not true that we come nearer to him in that cry in the language strange to us, but his own? |
13335 | Is it possible for those incapacitated by sin to regain, or to enjoy, relation with God? |
13335 | Is it the same type of character which is exalted by Christian piety, stained- glass windows, and the calendars of Saints? |
13335 | Is it too big a thing for the Giver of Life to give food-- which is the more difficult thing to give? |
13335 | Is not one of the most real features of parenthood enjoyment of the child? |
13335 | Is not that friendship? |
13335 | Is not that very like the Christian religion? |
13335 | Is there a warning in this picture of the people on the left hand that applies to deeper things than physical hunger? |
13335 | Is there another teacher of those times who is at all so sure that God loves bird and flower? |
13335 | Is there any truth in this charge as regards( a) the portrait in the Gospels, or( b) the presentation of Jesus in the teaching of the Church? |
13335 | Is there in all his parables a blurred picture, the edges dim or the focus wrong? |
13335 | Is there no evidence of God in restored sanity? |
13335 | Is there not for Christians in every age a joy and an inspiration in knowing the very sounds his lips framed? |
13335 | Is this leaving the real? |
13335 | It is our experience that we repent and fall again; what else was the experience of the people whom John baptised? |
13335 | It is unthinkable; God-- will God do less? |
13335 | John taught prayer-- all sorts of people teach prayer; but what sort of prayer? |
13335 | Look at the freedom, the growth, the power of the Christian life-- where do they all come from? |
13335 | Might it not be said that God had discredited John the Baptist, now his head was taken off? |
13335 | Moses is very well, but if God has higher ideas of marriage-- what then? |
13335 | Must we not think it was all growing up in that house and in that shop? |
13335 | No hint of dread that his work might indeed be undone? |
13335 | Nor is it this sort of surrender to God that Jesus calls for-- no, the question is, how thoroughly is a man going to put himself into God''s hands? |
13335 | Nothing else, he will say, seemed feasible; the thing was borne in on me, it came to me: reasons? |
13335 | Of what character were the prayers that John taught his disciples? |
13335 | On the famous occasion, when John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to Jesus with his striking message:"Art thou he that should come? |
13335 | Once again, in the plainest language, are we prepared to follow, as the disciples followed, afraid as they were? |
13335 | One of them speaks for the rest:"Lord, when saw we thee an hungered and fed thee?" |
13335 | Or did he never tell a story-- he who tells them so charmingly-- till he wanted parables? |
13335 | Or has the reading of this book made you feel his divinity more strongly just because he was so perfectly human? |
13335 | Or has the writer too narrow a conception of the nature of Art? |
13335 | So with us-- to decide the issue, how far are we prepared to go with Jesus? |
13335 | Something less than the word carries in the case of a human father, or more? |
13335 | That is saying a great deal, but when we look at Christian history, is it saying too much? |
13335 | The Latin dramatist Terence pictures the young man looking at one of these paintings and saying to himself,"If Jupiter did it, why should not I?" |
13335 | The Pharisee lied-- lying to oneself or lying to another, which is the worse? |
13335 | The Sabbath-- is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? |
13335 | The answer was, why should your father not come with the redeemed Israel? |
13335 | The bird flying to her nest, the fox creeping to his hole( Luke 9:58)--did these break into the prayers of Jesus-- and with what effect? |
13335 | The cup is clean enough without; it is septic and poisonous within-- and from which side of it do you drink, outside or inside? |
13335 | The elements and the stars come over us, as they came over George Fox in the Vale of Beavor; what is man? |
13335 | The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? |
13335 | The more relevant question for us is: How came he to wait till he was at least about thirty years old before he began to teach in public? |
13335 | The old problem returns upon us: Who and what is this Jesus Christ? |
13335 | The price? |
13335 | The question will rise, Have Christians overstated their experience, or even misunderstood it? |
13335 | The real crux comes when the question rises in a man''s own heart,"Does God love me?" |
13335 | The time would come when new clothes were needed; but why could not the old ones be patched, and passed down yet another stage? |
13335 | Then finally the question comes, how to secure continuity? |
13335 | There are gaps in the record-- for instance, how and why did the school of John survive as it did( Acts 18:25, 19:1- 7)? |
13335 | There is an inherited element in them, but how much else? |
13335 | There were men whom John had taught to pray; was it they who asked Jesus to teach them over again? |
13335 | There yawns the chasm; with your driving, how do you think you can avoid disaster? |
13335 | They are happy living things that come to his mind, as it were, of themselves, because, shall we say? |
13335 | To any reader who has any feeling or imagination, what do these short sentences mean? |
13335 | To turn again to passages already quoted, will a father give his son a serpent instead of the fish for which he asks, a stone for bread? |
13335 | To what extent was the hardness of the world during the early Roman Empire due to current conceptions of God? |
13335 | To what feeling or thought, to what attitude to life, is this or the other saying due? |
13335 | Two questions arise: Is it possible to recover lost moral quality and faculty? |
13335 | Very well then; does a man choose God? |
13335 | Waiving the fact that he had not much evidence for this in the mythology, how was a man to distinguish god from daemon, to know which is which? |
13335 | Was Jesus fond of life and Nature? |
13335 | Was he justified? |
13335 | Was he not probably more widely known? |
13335 | Was it an arm of the sea, a vast bay, or was it a great river? |
13335 | Was it continued in the Apostolic Church? |
13335 | Was it in such hours that he learnt his deepest lessons from the birds and the lilies of the field? |
13335 | Was there no smile? |
13335 | We have, as we agreed, to ask ourselves, what is the experience which led him to think as he did? |
13335 | We have, then, to ask ourselves, What is the experience that leads Jesus to speak as he does, to think as he does? |
13335 | Well, if a man''s one sheep is in a pit on the Sabbath, what will he do? |

13335 | What would he do next? |
13335 | What would our evidence be for"spiritual religion"if we had not the record of actual history to check fancy and support the ventures of faith? |
13335 | What, then, and how much, does he mean by"to save,"and how does he propose to do it? |
13335 | What, then, did his choice involve? |
13335 | What, we asked, did Jesus mean by"lost"? |
13335 | When a man avows that he does not care for art or poetry, who would wish to show him poem or picture? |

13335 | [ 18] But is this kingdom of the Messiah to be an earthly or a heavenly kingdom? |

13335 | the obvious reply is,"Which Messiah?" |
13335 | was he right? |
13335 | what is at the heart of it all? |
13335 | what relations has he with God? |
19566 | And after that? |
19566 | And after that? |
19566 | And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God? 19566 Can thunder from the thirty- two azimuths, repeated daily for centuries, make God''s laws more godlike to me? |
19566 | Has not the French Academy pronounced against the use of quinine and vaccination, against lightning rods and steam engines? 19566 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct you?" |
19566 | I ask, Whence came these properties? 19566 In the year of Christ-- what new Olympiad may be that?" |
19566 | The United States of course means the States of the Achæn League, but on what shore of the Euxine may Mexico and California be found? |
19566 | Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 19566 What right,"says the Pantheist, the Fourierist, the Spiritualist, the Atheist,"what right have you to command me? |

19566 | Who is this that covereth up like a_ flood_, whose waters are moved like the rivers? 19566 Why should men throw away their common sense, and swallow everything as inspired?" |
19566 | [ 120] But what do the toiling millions of earth care about beautiful poetic descriptions of a heaven and a hell that have no reality? 19566 [ 125] Now I demand to know whether this testimony of our Lord is not to be believed? |
19566 | [ 349] The nature of light is however still as great a mystery as when Job demanded,Where is the way where light dwelleth?" |

19566 | And how did he know that the"I"thought? |
19566 | And if a revelation comes from God, why have we not such evidence for it as mathematical demonstration?" |

19566 | And if he could, how many of my most important affairs can I submit to the multiplication table, or lay off in squares and triangles? |
19566 | And if he will never return to inquire whether men obey or disobey his law, who will regard it? |
19566 | And in a few days myself also cease to be? |
19566 | And now[ 1864] who would venture to predict the time of the close of that sad war? |

19190 | Do n''t you want to eat at Levi''s home at all? |
19190 | Do n''t you want to hear what they say? |
19190 | Do n''t you want to see him? |
19190 | Do the bondslaves make much trouble here? |
19190 | Do we have to go through there? |
19190 | Do you believe this? |
19190 | Do you betray me too, Peter? |
19190 | Do you betray me with a kiss, Judas? |
19190 | Do you cry out to me? |
19190 | Do you dare attack the great Rabbis? |
19190 | Do you know any people who live in Jerusalem? |
19190 | Do you know anything about this? |
19190 | Do you know what he is going to do? 19190 Do you know what you remind me of?" |
19190 | Do you know why I have done this? |
19190 | Do you mean that what the people are saying about him is true? |
19190 | Do you not know that he could easily persuade the people to revolt against Herod? |
19190 | Do you not think that these people are ready to make the Master their king? |
19190 | Do you not understand the meaning of the things I do? |
19190 | Do you not yet understand why I have come? |
19190 | Do you now see how powerful his word is, Philip? |
19190 | Do you realize that those two men are going to try to push us out when we get to Jerusalem? 19190 Do you really think he could be king of the Jews?" |
19190 | Do you really think that Jesus is trying to keep people from believing in God and serving him? |
19190 | Do you remember Judah the Galilean? |
19190 | Do you remember if there is a bridge on the road across to Gadara? |
19190 | Do you remember the story of the Sower, Andrew? |
19190 | Do you remember the voice from the cloud? |
19190 | Do you remember when James and I went to buy food today? 19190 Do you scold this woman for coming to be healed on the Sabbath? |
19190 | Do you see the Prophet? |
19190 | Do you see why I follow him? |
19190 | Do you see why this was wrong? 19190 Do you see?" |
19190 | Do you still not understand what is going to happen in Jerusalem? |
19190 | Do you suppose this trip has made the others feel the way we do? |
19190 | Do you think any of the others believed? |
19190 | Do you think he has anything to do with this business? |
19190 | Do you think he will really be killed? |
19190 | Do you think he would dare to heal him? |
19190 | Do you think of nothing but ruling others? 19190 Do you think others will be crucified on his cross, Cleopas?" |
19190 | Do you think that Jesus is trying to destroy the faith of our nation? |
19190 | Do you think that the Master''s power comes from Satan? |
19190 | Do you think that we can convince his followers that their Rabbi is not to be trusted? |
19190 | Do you think that we can find a place to wade through? |
19190 | Do you think we could find him? |
19190 | Do you understand now what I am telling you? |
19190 | Do you want to offer a sacrifice to God which is not perfect? |
19190 | Do you wonder the people think he goes to extremes? |
19190 | Does Herod know about that? |
19190 | Does n''t that take a good deal of time away from fishing? |
19190 | Does that mean that our enemies will be destroyed soon, Rabbi? |
19190 | Eh? 19190 Father, why is fishing so poor this year?" |
19190 | Has Jesus of Nazareth passed this way? |
19190 | Has John the Baptizer risen from the dead? |
19190 | Has he forgotten how these people treated our messengers? |
19190 | Have the rumors about us spread here too? |
19190 | Have we not preached the gospel of the Kingdom here? |
19190 | Have you any food? |
19190 | Have you been getting along all right since you left your fishing? 19190 Have you come to destroy us?" |
19190 | Have you ever gone hungry when you were with me? |
19190 | Have you ever heard such an insolent lie? 19190 Have you no faith, even after being with me all this time?" |
19190 | Have you not read in the Bible that David and his warriors took bread off the sacred table in the Tabernacle when they were hungry? |
19190 | Have you seen Judas? |
19190 | He just said to us:''Did n''t I tell you that I am not the Christ? 19190 How are you going to feed your wife and children?" |
19190 | How can I get into this Kingdom you are telling us about, Rabbi? |
19190 | How can a gentile be included in our Kingdom? |
19190 | How can he do a thing like that? |
19190 | How can he ever find his way? |
19190 | How can he talk that way to Pharisees? |
19190 | How can we ever establish the government of God if we never do anything practical? |
19190 | How can you give men eternal life if you die? |
19190 | How could a really great Rabbi come from Nazareth? 19190 How could he do that if he were not sent from God?" |
19190 | How dare he talk like this to us? |
19190 | How did this happen? |
19190 | How do you dare say that? 19190 How do you dare talk this way?" |
19190 | How do you expect to know the Messiah? |
19190 | How does John the Baptizer think all this will happen? |
19190 | How long has your son been like this? |
19190 | How long will it take to condemn him? |
19190 | How many loaves have we all together? |
19190 | How many of you have ever lived in Jerusalem? |
19190 | How much longer must we endure this? |
19190 | How shall we live, Master? 19190 I ask you,"demanded Jesus,"is it right to help or to hurt on the Sabbath Day? |
19190 | I needed to repent, but why should he? 19190 I think most of the people would be favorable, do n''t you?" |
19190 | If you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor Moses, what right have you to baptize people? |
19190 | If you are really a teacher sent from God, how can you mix with outcasts? |
19190 | If you have an old coat with a hole in it, do you patch it with a brand- new piece of cloth? |
19190 | If you love only people who love you, what does that amount to? 19190 Is he not the one who gives all good things? |
19190 | Is he up there? |
19190 | Is it I? |
19190 | Is it true, what they are saying? |
19190 | Is n''t that the same thing? |
19190 | Is that all I mean to you? |
19190 | Is there a single one of you that would leave a sheep in a ditch all day long if it fell in on Sabbath morning? |
19190 | Is this Samaritan the only one to come back and thank me? |
19190 | Is this your purpose in going about and preaching to the people of Galilee? |
19190 | It is not I, is it, Rabbi? |
19190 | It will not be long, will it, Master? |
19190 | Master, how often shall someone sin against me and I go on forgiving him? |
19190 | Master, how shall we ever be strong enough to be your missionaries? |
19190 | Master, how shall we ever have strength to do it? |
19190 | Master, what do you want us to do? |
19190 | Master,burst out James enthusiastically,"are you going to drive out the Romans now and give the Kingdom back to us?" |
19190 | Master,they said,"do n''t you think we had better send them away before it gets dark?" |
19190 | May I come to your home? |
19190 | My followers, what have you to worry about? |
19190 | No, Master,the woman answered smiling,"but the dogs can wait patiently for the crumbs to fall from the children''s table, ca n''t they?" |
19190 | O Master,he urged,"wo n''t you teach us to pray as John the Baptizer taught his disciples?" |
19190 | One of us-- betray you? |
19190 | Or should we look for someone else? |
19190 | Philip,asked the Master simply,"will you follow me?" |
19190 | Rabbi, why do the Pharisees and the followers of John the Baptizer fast while your disciples pay no attention to the fasting rule? |
19190 | See? |
19190 | Seven times? |
19190 | Shall it be Bar- Abbas or the king of the Jews? |
19190 | Shall we too be able to drive out demons and raise the dead, Master? |
19190 | Should we go back to our fishing, Andrew? |
19190 | Should we tell the Master? |
19190 | Simon, if your little son should ask you for a piece of bread, would you give him a rock to eat? 19190 Still resting?" |
19190 | Suppose you were to go to a friend''s house late at night and say:''Friend, will you lend me three loaves of bread? 19190 Surely he wo n''t miss this opportunity?" |
19190 | Tell me, Rabbi,asked the Pharisee,"is it right to pay taxes to the Romans or not?" |
19190 | Tell me, Simon Peter, how can the Messiah of God die? |
19190 | Tell me,he asked Simon and James privately,"does the Rabbi intend to set up the new kingdom now?" |
19190 | Tell me,he asked,"do the friends of people who are getting married fast on the wedding day?" |
19190 | That is n''t necessary, is it? |
19190 | That reminds me-- did you bring enough food for this trip? |
19190 | The Messiah will not come with an army of angels to destroy the enemies of his people? |
19190 | The Messiah-- coming silently?... 19190 The verdict?" |
19190 | Then John the Baptizer was wrong? |
19190 | Then who are you? 19190 Then who are you? |
19190 | Then you do believe that the scribes and Pharisees are right, Andrew? |
19190 | Was it when you sold your farm that you became a fisherman, Gideon? |
19190 | Was n''t your Rabbi in Tiberias a few days ago? |
19190 | Well, is n''t a man worth more than a sheep? |
19190 | Well, then, if you can do that much for your children, do you not think that God will do far more for those who trust him? |
19190 | Well, what happened? |
19190 | Were they not healed also? |
19190 | What I want to know,he demanded,"is what right you have to call the Temple of God your Father''s house? |
19190 | What about the witnesses? |
19190 | What are they going to do? |
19190 | What are you talking about? |
19190 | What are you talking about? |
19190 | What are you thinking of? |
19190 | What brings you to us on the Sabbath, Philip? |
19190 | What can he mean by that? |
19190 | What can we do when every important person will say that we are wrong? |
19190 | What can we do? 19190 What can we do?" |
19190 | What did he do? |
19190 | What difference does it make where he comes from? |
19190 | What do they say about me? |
19190 | What do you mean by that? |
19190 | What do you mean? |
19190 | What do you mean? |
19190 | What do you mean? |
19190 | What do you mean? |
19190 | What do you suppose is going on? |
19190 | What do you think of the crop, Gideon? |
19190 | What do you want here? |
19190 | What do you want me to do for you? |
19190 | What else do people say about me? |
19190 | What happened, Andrew? 19190 What has happened?" |
19190 | What have you heard? |
19190 | What if everyone leaves us, Simon? |
19190 | What if no one will take us in? |
19190 | What if the tyrant discovers that we are here? |
19190 | What if these Jews are working for him? |
19190 | What in the world are we going to eat? |
19190 | What is all this you are talking about? |
19190 | What is going to become of us? |
19190 | What is he going to do? |
19190 | What is he going to do? |
19190 | What is it you need? |
19190 | What is it, Teacher? |
19190 | What is that? |
19190 | What is the matter now? |
19190 | What is the matter with your son? |
19190 | What is the verdict? |
19190 | What is written in the Law? 19190 What kind of nonsense is this?" |
19190 | What made the king do it? |
19190 | What made you come? |
19190 | What made you do a thing like that? |
19190 | What man in his right mind could believe such a fairy tale? 19190 What must I do?" |
19190 | What must we do? |
19190 | What shall I do with Jesus, called''the Christ''? |
19190 | What shall we do, Philip? |
19190 | What should I do, Jude? |
19190 | What should we do? |
19190 | What sort of man is he? |
19190 | What was that? |
19190 | What were you wrangling about on the road? |
19190 | What will Herod do to him? |
19190 | What will become of them? |
19190 | What will happen to our religion if the people begin to think that they do n''t need to keep the Sabbath? |
19190 | What will he do that you will recognize him? |
19190 | What will his teachings ever amount to unless we put them in the place of the old laws? |
19190 | What will the best people think of us? 19190 What will the owner of the vineyard do?" |
19190 | What will your god do for you? |
19190 | When do you think we could find him with some of his followers? |
19190 | Where are the other nine? |
19190 | Where are the people? |
19190 | Where are you going? |
19190 | Where are you going? |
19190 | Where do your customs come from? |
19190 | Where does the water come from that runs down here? |
19190 | Where have they gone? |
19190 | Where is Judas? |
19190 | Where is he? |
19190 | Where is the Healer? |
19190 | Where is the Rabbi? |
19190 | Where is your Master? |
19190 | Where will we eat the Passover meal tonight? |
19190 | Which of these three men was a true neighbor to the man who was beaten? |
19190 | Who are the Zealots? |
19190 | Who are you-- the Messiah? |
19190 | Who is calling to me? |
19190 | Who is he, if he is n''t John? |
19190 | Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? |
19190 | Who is that fellow? |
19190 | Who is the angry one? |
19190 | Who is this man? |
19190 | Who touched me? |
19190 | Who would have thought Joseph''s son would turn out so well? |
19190 | Why all this wailing? |
19190 | Why are you so discouraged? |
19190 | Why are you terrified? |
19190 | Why are you wondering about what I said? 19190 Why ca n''t we do something definite about it?" |
19190 | Why did John send you to us? |
19190 | Why did we follow him in the first place, brother? |
19190 | Why did you touch me? |
19190 | Why do you call me''good''? |
19190 | Why do you come to arrest me with swords and clubs as though I were a robber? 19190 Why do you say,''If you can''? |
19190 | Why do you tell us this? |
19190 | Why do you try to trap me? |
19190 | Why has he gone? |
19190 | Why have you come out here? |
19190 | Why in the world did you hire a gentile, father? |
19190 | Why not go over and see? |
19190 | Why not? |
19190 | Why not? |
19190 | Why should I give my money away? |
19190 | Why should n''t he be stronger than the demons? 19190 Why should these worthless Samaritans be allowed to stand in the way of the Kingdom of God?" |
19190 | Why should we repent? |
19190 | Why was he angry? |
19190 | Why were you wrangling on the road today? |
19190 | Will John be raised from the dead? |
19190 | Will he be back? 19190 Will you come to pray with me in the mountain?" |
19190 | Will you give a little money to a lame man? |
19190 | Will you help us arrest him secretly-- so that the people will not find out? |
19190 | Will you push the boat out into deep water? |
19190 | Will you stay for supper, Andrew? |
19190 | Would Satan cast out his own helpers? |
19190 | Would you tell the Rabbi that his mother and brothers want to see him outside? |
19190 | Yes, where is your Master? |
19190 | You do not understand why I fed the people, do you? |
19190 | You have read the Prophets, have n''t you? |
19190 | You mean you are n''t working with Andrew and James and John any more? |
19190 | You would almost think he came down from heaven, would n''t you? |
19190 | A Pharisee who kept all the Law-- what more could God require? |
19190 | A few cried out,"Where is the Galilean?" |
19190 | A murderer? |
19190 | A woman who knew the sick man said:"Is this man paralyzed because he sinned? |
19190 | After a long silence, Cleopas added:"Do you remember the centurion who was in charge of the soldiers? |
19190 | After a while he asked,"Then you know this Rabbi well?" |
19190 | After all, why should Judas be the chief person? |
19190 | Again and again they heard Jesus say:"Do you understand why you have been healed? |
19190 | Andrew asked a man beside him,"Did you hear what the Galilean said to the Prophet?" |
19190 | Andrew burst out:"Have you heard what people are saying? |
19190 | Are n''t you one of this Galilean''s followers?" |
19190 | Are you sleeping? |
19190 | Are you truly the Messiah?" |
19190 | But what if the salt loses its taste?" |
19190 | Could God have chosen this man to deliver His people? |
19190 | Could it be true that the end of the world was coming soon? |
19190 | Could n''t you stay awake and pray with me even one hour?" |
19190 | Could this man who gave life to the dead be the Master they knew so well? |
19190 | Did he believe Galilee had rejected him? |
19190 | Did he not die on a cross? |
19190 | Did he realize what would happen? |
19190 | Did n''t I see you in the olive orchard?" |
19190 | Did that not prove he had pleased God? |
19190 | Did the guard know that Jesus was the man who had caused the riot yesterday? |
19190 | Did the others see? |
19190 | Did you hear what he did at the last festival?" |
19190 | Do n''t you think I have earned eternal life?" |
19190 | Do they help you enter the Kingdom? |
19190 | Do we think always of our own reputation?" |
19190 | Do you intend to cast out all the laws and rules?" |
19190 | Do you not believe that I can heal this boy? |
19190 | Do you not see the wounds of the cross?" |
19190 | Do you not yet understand?" |
19190 | Do you want the Sabbath forgotten? |
19190 | Do you want to hear him?" |
19190 | Finally James turned to him and asked,"Do you think Jesus would let himself be trapped by the officials?" |
19190 | Finally Simon blurted out:"But, Master, if he can not be saved, who can? |
19190 | Finally he asked,"When can I hear your Rabbi teach?" |
19190 | From God in heaven, or was he given it by some man, perhaps a priest?" |
19190 | HOW WILL YOU KNOW THE MESSIAH? |
19190 | Had Herod already discovered that he was back in Galilee? |
19190 | Had he not always felt that someday he would be rejected by his own home town? |
19190 | Had he not always prided himself on his good actions? |
19190 | Had spies followed him here so that they could arrest him secretly? |
19190 | Had they forgotten the Rabbi from Nazareth who had healed their sick? |
19190 | Had they understood what he had told them? |
19190 | Had this fellow seen him going into the priests''council chamber? |
19190 | Has Satan risen up against himself and given me power to destroy his own power over men?" |
19190 | Has n''t this woman the right to be healed? |
19190 | Have you kept a close watch on him during the last few months?" |
19190 | Have you obeyed them? |
19190 | He held it up and asked the Pharisee,"Whose picture is stamped on this?" |
19190 | He paused and then asked,"Now which of these two men would be more grateful?" |
19190 | He turned to Jesus the instant they left and demanded,"How_ does_ the Messiah come?" |
19190 | He was born this way, was n''t he?" |
19190 | Hoping to escape embarrassment, he asked,"Just who is my neighbor, Master?" |
19190 | How can we preach the good news to the people if we do? |
19190 | How can you say that the Messiah will come without people even knowing he is among us?" |
19190 | How could he ever face him? |
19190 | How could he prove the scribe wrong? |
19190 | How could he stand this bitter remorse? |
19190 | How did he dare speak like this about the king? |
19190 | How do you dare act as you do?" |
19190 | How does John the Baptizer explain that, Andrew?" |
19190 | How long must I teach you? |
19190 | How much longer must I endure your cold hearts?" |
19190 | Hurt and confused, Symeon heard a friend beside him whisper,"Did you hear him say that this woman''s sins are forgiven?" |
19190 | If I am willing to wash your feet, should you not serve one another? |
19190 | If that is n''t work, what is?" |
19190 | If we leave him, to whom can we go?" |
19190 | If you are killed, how can we ever save the Jews?" |
19190 | In the bright morning the two men could hardly believe that here they had heard the death cry of their Master:"My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
19190 | Is it any wonder we have hardly enough left to feed ourselves?" |
19190 | Is n''t she more important than any animal?" |
19190 | Is not your Rabbi that One? |
19190 | It is all right for them to pick wheat, is n''t it?" |
19190 | James burst out,"Master, what can this mean?" |
19190 | James summed up the thoughts of them all:"Rabbi, if a man as good as that ca n''t enter the Kingdom, how can anyone?" |
19190 | Jesus looked at the man and said,"Will you come with me?" |
19190 | Jesus said to her kindly,"Why did you do it?" |
19190 | Jesus said,"If you try to add something new to the old, the new destroys the old, does n''t it?" |
19190 | Jesus''voice rang out:"How can I do great deeds among you when you do not really believe God at all?" |
19190 | John said:"Will you come with us to the synagogue? |
19190 | Keeping his voice low, James said to the others:"What is going to happen to the rest of us when we get to Jerusalem? |
19190 | Master? |
19190 | Master?" |
19190 | No food?" |
19190 | Now what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
19190 | Of what mighty destruction was he speaking? |
19190 | On the way to Bethphage one of the men said,"Did you know the Master had planned to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey?" |
19190 | Or if he asked for a broiled fish, would you give him a poisonous snake instead? |
19190 | Or if he asked for an egg, would you give him a scorpion with a deadly stinger?" |
19190 | Or were they trying to persuade him to do what they wanted? |
19190 | Others asked in wonder:"Who can this Rabbi be? |
19190 | Peter raised his hands and cried out so all could hear:"Men of Israel, why are you so surprised at this? |
19190 | Philip leaned over and whispered to Simon,"Do you think he will dare say anything about founding a new kingdom?" |
19190 | See down there?" |
19190 | Should one save a life?" |
19190 | Simon laughed shortly and said:"What do you mean, Master? |
19190 | Startled but glad to see someone, Peter asked,"Sir, have you seen soldiers and men with clubs passing this way?" |
19190 | Tell me which is easier, to say to this man,''Your sins are forgiven,''or to say,''Rise, take up your pallet and walk''?" |
19190 | Tell the owner that the Rabbi says,''Where is the room in which I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?'' |
19190 | The Prophet Elijah?" |
19190 | The answer to his Master''s question was as clear as that sunny sky-- why had he not known it before? |
19190 | The deliverer of Israel-- staying with a tax collector? |
19190 | The disciples were suspicious; what new trick was this? |
19190 | The first almost stammered as he asked,"What do you mean?" |
19190 | The gentile jerked up his head and said,"Were you a slave?" |
19190 | The high priest demanded,"Well, what do you want?" |
19190 | The onlookers could hardly believe what they saw; who could this be, who dared clear this courtyard as though it were his own? |
19190 | The priest looked at him curiously and exclaimed,"You were with the Galilean, were n''t you?" |
19190 | The question was clear to every listener: Which was more important, the Sabbath rule or this man''s need? |
19190 | The stranger smiled as though he agreed, and Andrew asked enthusiastically:"Do you believe him? |
19190 | The younger man looked at Cleopas:"Shall I get it?" |
19190 | Then he looked sharply at James and snapped:"Do the landlords pay religious taxes? |
19190 | They murmured threats when another scribe spoke up,"Rabbi, what is the most important command in the Law?" |
19190 | They smiled at each other as though to say,"A simple fellow, is n''t he?" |
19190 | They study the Scriptures more than anyone else; do n''t these things count for anything?" |
19190 | They were pressing in on Jesus so much that he turned to Simon and asked abruptly,"May I use your boat?" |
19190 | Was he serious about giving up his plan to put Jesus in the power of the high priest? |
19190 | Was it dangerous to answer frankly? |
19190 | Was not this one of the elders of the synagogue? |
19190 | Was someone else guiding the priests to the place where Jesus stayed? |
19190 | Was this a ghost? |
19190 | Were n''t you with that Galilean?" |
19190 | Were they trying to convince him they were loyal in spite of the day''s dispute? |
19190 | What business have you with me?" |
19190 | What can I do?" |
19190 | What could he be thinking of? |
19190 | What could he mean by saying,"Give to the Romans what belongs to them"? |
19190 | What could he mean by saying,"I will return"? |
19190 | What could he say? |
19190 | What did he intend to do? |
19190 | What do you read there?" |
19190 | What had happened? |
19190 | What had they done to his Master? |
19190 | What happened?" |
19190 | What harm is there in working with them?" |
19190 | What have you to say for yourself?" |
19190 | What if he should lose sight of them? |
19190 | What if this stranger were an enemy? |
19190 | What is it?" |
19190 | What is this I hear about you these days?" |
19190 | What is your Master doing? |
19190 | What kind of men were Jesus''disciples? |
19190 | What more do you need? |
19190 | What mysterious power had compelled him to follow this strange Rabbi? |
19190 | What should we do without him? |
19190 | What strange person had arrived in their midst? |
19190 | What was happening in the priest''s dark palace? |
19190 | What was it like to be with Jesus in Palestine? |
19190 | What was it?" |
19190 | What was this? |
19190 | What will they do without you?" |
19190 | What would he do without him? |
19190 | What would you do?" |
19190 | What''s going on?" |
19190 | What''s that?" |
19190 | When did you first find out about him?" |
19190 | When you asked, I forgave you all that you owed me-- should you not have been merciful to your fellow servant, as I was merciful to you?'' |
19190 | When you make new wine, do you pour it right into a dry, stiff wineskin that has been used before?" |
19190 | Where did John the Baptizer get his right to preach? |
19190 | Where did he go?" |
19190 | Where did he learn it all?" |
19190 | Where had this food come from? |
19190 | Where had this traveler come from? |
19190 | Where shall we stay?" |
19190 | Where was Jesus? |
19190 | Where was Jesus? |
19190 | Where were the people who had said that Jesus had changed their lives and given them new hope? |
19190 | While they ate, James asked,"Father, who is in the other boat this morning?" |
19190 | Who could he be-- that he had power to calm the storm? |
19190 | Who could tell what might happen before this night was over? |
19190 | Who did she think he was? |
19190 | Who is going to go out among the people of our towns and let them know that God cares for them? |
19190 | Who told you to flee from God''s day of judgment? |
19190 | Who were the people who killed Jesus? |
19190 | Why are you staring at us as though we had healed this man by our own strength? |
19190 | Why ca n''t we get in that way?" |
19190 | Why did Jesus not tell them plainly who he was? |
19190 | Why did Pilate come here? |
19190 | Why did some of the disciples find it so hard to understand Jesus? |
19190 | Why did the Master talk about it so much? |
19190 | Why did they do it? |
19190 | Why do n''t you pull it up farther?" |
19190 | Why do you come on the Sabbath?" |
19190 | Why does he insist on mixing with such people? |
19190 | Why had he ever let this person disturb him? |
19190 | Why had these men followed him all the way out here to tell him this? |
19190 | Why keep things that make us remember these days?" |
19190 | Why should he be ashamed?" |
19190 | Why should you ask me to get rid of things he himself has given me?" |
19190 | Why? |
19190 | Will all this be destroyed?" |
19190 | Will he not give you what you ask? |
19190 | Will you become great? |
19190 | Without a moment''s hesitation Jesus retorted:"Have you forgotten that Moses also commanded you to honor your father and your mother? |
19190 | Would he pay no attention to the warnings of the young man? |
19190 | Would the Kingdom never come? |
19190 | Would they go to the house of the high priest himself? |
19190 | Would they lead the Master to Pilate? |
19190 | Would they realize that they were thinking only of themselves? |
19190 | You heard him say that they killed the son too, did n''t you?" |
19190 | You say he wo n''t even break a twig?" |
19190 | [ Illustration] 5. WHO IS THIS CARPENTER? |
19190 | _ Does he realize that this is the Sabbath?_ Simon thought in alarm. |
19190 | _ Does n''t this Nazarene know this is the Sabbath?_ wondered the minister. |
19190 | _ Who can he be-- who can he be-- to give eternal life?_ Jesus turned to the parents of the child. |
19190 | _ Who is he-- who is this One who raises the dead?_ The minds of the disciples raced, trying to grasp the meaning of what had happened. |
19190 | he said,''you will not be hurt: Are n''t you the Messiah? |
16866 | ''Is it possible to overlook the singular character of the names which everywhere meet us? 16866 ''Tell me frankly,''says Socrates,''what do you think science is?'' |
16866 | All such matters are in very deed but''leather and prunella''? |
16866 | And Christianity may be true by the very same reasoning, though the chances be only as one to a thousand? |
16866 | And do not you? |
16866 | And do you not think that miracles are impossible and absurd? |
16866 | And do you think Mr. Macaulay as accurate as he is full of genius and eloquence? |
16866 | And has your faith left you too, my gentle friend? |
16866 | And have they completed it? |
16866 | And he was right in rejecting the truth? |
16866 | And how do you know, then, whether they ever uttered these simple''utterances''? 16866 And if the creature died, leaving no issue, would you continue to call it so?" |
16866 | And in the name of common sense,I said,"what truth and duty are to stand in your way? |
16866 | And is not that the true statement of the case? |
16866 | And of any other truth-- as of historical truth-- you say such revelation is unnecessary? |
16866 | And so if any such event were said to have occurred eighteen hundred years ago? |
16866 | And what do you make of the infinitely varied and inimitable marks of simplicity and honesty in the writers? |
16866 | And what is that to you or me? 16866 And what is the result?" |
16866 | And what was the effect? |
16866 | And who does not see the impossibility of getting up the miracles so as to impose upon a world of bitter and prejudiced enemies in open day? |
16866 | And who,said I,"would represent our friend who has just left the room, and who has tried every thing?" |
16866 | And your sect,retorted Fellowes, rather warmly,"if you come to that, is it not the smallest of all? |
16866 | Are you sure,said I, laughing,"that he ever convinced you at all? |
16866 | As a fact or doctrine? |
16866 | Ay, but how do we know that these original Christians said that they had seen and done the things you refer to? 16866 But I do not see the use of discussing a question under circumstances which it is admitted never did nor ever can occur?" |
16866 | But I expect you to answer a plain question? |
16866 | But all this is mere vision? |
16866 | But are you in a condition to give an opinion? |
16866 | But did none attempt to remedy this defect of the unhappy speculator? |
16866 | But do you not recollect,replied Fellowes, reason Mr. Newman gives for despising any such mitigation? |
16866 | But further,said I,"what sort of truth is this, which involves duty, and yet is opposed to prudence? |
16866 | But how do you manage in a controversy with an opponent as to those insoluble objections? |
16866 | But how shall I know that these thing which I call real, are different from the phenomena of sleep which I call real? |
16866 | But how would their testimony be liable to be vitiated? 16866 But is not the other doctrine as much authenticated by the miracles and so forth? |
16866 | But may we not say, that the great epochs in the history of the universe are themselves but the manifestation of law? |
16866 | But men, however, have somehow perversely believed it very possible, and that, in some shape or other, it has been given? |
16866 | But perhaps you reject the idea of an''atonement,''though you admit it to be in the Book? |
16866 | But still the Hottentot has all the''spiritual faculties''of which you speak so much? |
16866 | But upon whom were the experiments to be made? |
16866 | But what answer do you think they ought to give, my friend? 16866 But why might I not have had it? |
16866 | But will the result not contradict your uniform experience, if your hopes be realized? 16866 But would not you also reject it, upon the same principle?" |
16866 | Can you not? |
16866 | Certainly: why should we hesitate so to apply it? |
16866 | Could you always realize it, my friend? |
16866 | Did I say, my friend, that it was to contain nothing but what is referred to your judgment? 16866 Do you mean such infidelity as that of Collins and Bolingbroke, Chubb and Tindal?" |
16866 | Do you mean,said the other,"that you can give satisfactory answers to the objections which can be brought against various parts of it?" |
16866 | Do you not remember how the two youths differ in their estimate of the beautiful in nature? 16866 Do you not? |
16866 | Do you think so? 16866 Do you think that the happiness so derived and expected from day to day has any sinister influence on the spiritual life of him who feels it?" |
16866 | Do you think the first man was like us in these respects? |
16866 | First, however,said he,"what is the more notorious fallacy to which you allude?" |
16866 | For that does not affect the principles we are agreed upon? |
16866 | How can that be? |
16866 | How can you talk so, when we make it a mark of a false revelation, that it contradicts any intuition of our moral nature? |
16866 | How so? |
16866 | How so? |
16866 | How so? |
16866 | How so? |
16866 | I ask you to believe it? |
16866 | I give up the reasoning on this point,said Fellowes,"but how, I should like to know, do you retort the argument upon him?" |
16866 | I need hardly ask, I think, which you find the most pleasant reading? |
16866 | I see not, then, how a revelation by any such means could be authenticated at all? |
16866 | I shall be curious to know,said I, interrupting him,"what you will reply to that argument?" |
16866 | If I were to ask you what were the essential attributes of a man, would you assign those which he had in common with a pig? |
16866 | If that be the case,said I, joining in their talk,"there is no doubt a''gigantic lie''somewhere; but the question is, Who tells it? |
16866 | Is that all? |
16866 | It does look a little like it,said I;"and what next?" |
16866 | It is equally impossible? |
16866 | It is, then, conveyed to us as such? |
16866 | May I ask why? |
16866 | Moreover, as you and Mr. Newman affirm, the bulk of mankind are not competent to investigate the claims of such an historic revelation? |
16866 | Nor Hebrew or Greek over English or German? 16866 Of what use is the discussion of such a particular case, when you know it is impossible that we should ever see it realized?" |
16866 | Only that the weapons should be fair? |
16866 | Only then? |
16866 | Perhaps not; but then what does it matter, in that case, whether they can obtain certainty or not? |
16866 | Safe do you call it? 16866 So that if you saw Peter or Paul to- morrow, you would tell him the same story?" |
16866 | Still, what is it you want? |
16866 | Suppose I were to answer, that at times I doubt whether I doubt it or not, would not that be a thorough sceptic''s answer? |
16866 | Suppose the sacred writers affirm that every syllable they utter is infallibly true, being inspired? |
16866 | Supposing it true, does it not seem to you the must delightful and stupendous of all spiritual truths? |
16866 | The contrary, perhaps? |
16866 | The question is, What is its value? 16866 Then what are the doctrines which, though common to every other religion, are characteristic of it? |
16866 | Then why, in the name of wonder, do you retain your belief? |
16866 | Then you allow his position to be more tenable and reasonable than yours? |
16866 | Then,said I,"I must not say you reject Christianity, but only that you do not receive it? |
16866 | They do; and is it not a beautiful illustration? 16866 They may go, then?" |
16866 | This culture and education is a thing external? |
16866 | To whom can I go, but unto Thee? 16866 Well, and what then?" |
16866 | Well, in whatever difficulty the controversy may involve us, can we deny this conclusion? |
16866 | Well, then, shall we say it is only necessary, but not a duty? 16866 Well, what do you guess?" |
16866 | Well,he replied,"but then which religion is the true?" |
16866 | Were the recorders of that fact liable to error in conveying it to us? 16866 What are they?" |
16866 | What dilemma do you refer to? |
16866 | What do I want? 16866 What do you mean,"said the younger of the two youths,"by affirming that we are compelled to receive the whole book, or to reject it all?" |
16866 | What do you mean? |
16866 | What does your scepticism promise you, if it be well founded? 16866 What is a miracle? |
16866 | What is it,said Fellowes,"that you want?" |
16866 | What is it? |
16866 | What is that? |
16866 | What was that paradox? |
16866 | What was there inconsistent with scepticism in that? |
16866 | Whatever the number or the splendor of his miracles? |
16866 | Why not? 16866 Why, have you not sometimes said that you believe the Bible to be, in many respects, a most pernicious book? |
16866 | Why, what have I said? |
16866 | Will they not? 16866 Will you endeavor to show how it may probably be?" |
16866 | Yes,he replied, smiling;"but is not the truth the truth, as Falstaff said? |
16866 | You admit, probably, the doctrine of the soul''s immortality as a part of that revelation,--perhaps even the doctrine of a resurrection? |
16866 | You are not, then, satisfied with Hume''s own solution? |
16866 | You are of Bayle''s opinion, that there is in relation to the present life a probable prudent, and that it would be gross folly to neglect it? |
16866 | You do not surely mean to compare the importance of a belief in the one case with the importance of a belief in the other? |
16866 | You mean Father Newman, perhaps? |
16866 | You will also admit, I think, that the process by which man comes to the use of these faculties, and powers, and so forth, is very gradual? |
16866 | You would not allow that parchment, however ancient, has any advantage in this respect over paper, however modern? |
16866 | that fathers and mothers ought to set an example to their children? |
16866 | ''Have you reversed your own plaid,''said Ranald,''according to the rule of the experienced seers in such cases?'' |
16866 | ''Is it possible,''says Edwin,''you can thus turn from the cup of joy, sparkling and overflowing as it is?'' |
16866 | ''Sir,''said the Doctor,''it is a brutal doctrine; a bull might as well say, I have this grass and this cow,--and what can a creature want more?'' |
16866 | ''The Bible,''says Menzel,''and their Reason being incompatible, why do they not let them remain separate? |
16866 | ''What is truth?'' |
16866 | ''What,''says he,''may we now expect from the true theologian when he attacks sin, and vice, and gross spirituality?'' |
16866 | ''Why God not kill Debbil?'' |
16866 | --''Yes,''said Wollmar,''when one finds a spider in it; and why not? |
16866 | --But as to you, what consistent position can you take, so long as you affirm and deny so capriciously? |
16866 | --But once more, I think you do not hold Paul''s rhetoric to be always of the first excellence?" |
16866 | After a pause, Harrington suddenly asked,--"Do you not think there is some difference between yourself and a Hottentot?" |
16866 | Again, how does it minister to that of man, except he be more than the insect of the day, of which Mr. Newman''s theology leaves him in utter doubt? |
16866 | Again, is it like the other religious products of human nature, in daring to aspire to universal dominion, and that too founded on moral power alone? |
16866 | And can I go to the Supreme Judge, and tell Him that I deserve more happiness than He has granted me in this life?'' |
16866 | And if he be immortal, how does it operate beneficially except as an instrument of moral improvement? |
16866 | And on such a theory, what but such a conviction could have justified him in the attempt for a moment? |
16866 | And what more easy than in relation to miracles? |
16866 | And what must we infer from Mr. Newman? |
16866 | And whether it is not conceivable that, if Moses and Socrates and Paul could do so much for them, God could do a trifle more? |
16866 | And who are the"poets of Germanic culture"who have risen to an equal ideal of the reciprocal duties and sentiments of wedded life? |
16866 | Are we to understand by that, that the chief of the Papal States abhors as a Pope what he does as a sovereign? |
16866 | Are you satisfied with this reasoning? |
16866 | As Mr. Newman says, Human nature is often portrayed in superhuman dignity; Why not in superhuman goodness? |
16866 | B.?" |
16866 | But are you wise, my dear uncle, in this taunt? |
16866 | But can we make its reality a literary problem? |
16866 | But does Gibbon offer them? |
16866 | But how is it you were not tempted to become an atheist rather than a sceptic?" |
16866 | But if the world is to perish in fifty years, or a century, what then?" |
16866 | But is it possible that I can think of an utter failure, and not be more than troubled? |
16866 | But is not the experience of every day and of all the world against it? |
16866 | But is there any thing else?" |
16866 | But now, by way of beginning in some way,--what, my dear friend, is a miracle?" |
16866 | But tell me, is there any thing more serious that would follow from the literal and universal adoption of the ethics of the New Testament?" |
16866 | But the truths, the truths, what are they, my friend? |
16866 | But what is the theory of the universe propounded by these writers? |
16866 | But what next?" |
16866 | But what struck you next as unaccountable in Mr. Newman''s view of this subject of a future life?" |
16866 | But when it comes to"moral evil,"which Mr. Newman acknowledges can not be so lightly disposed of, what then? |
16866 | But who is to get my bank- notes back again? |
16866 | But, as if wishing to effect a diversion,--"Have you ever read Gibbon''s celebrated chapter?" |
16866 | But, first, how does suffering tend to the perfection of the whole lower creation? |
16866 | Can any thing be more elevated or original than this view?" |
16866 | Can it appeal to any thing stronger than senses, and have not our senses often beguiled us?" |
16866 | Could it terminate otherwise? |
16866 | Could such men attain this uniform elevation? |
16866 | Could such men have invented those extraordinary fictions,--the miracles and the parables? |
16866 | Do you believe a single shred of any of the supernatural narratives of the Old and New Testament?" |
16866 | Do you believe in the Trinity, the Atonement, the Resurrection of Christ, in a general Resurrection, in the Day of Judgment?" |
16866 | Do you not recollect this?--or has this sarcasm escaped you?" |
16866 | Do you remember Schiller''s''Walk among the Linden- Trees''?" |
16866 | Do you think that they can affirm a reasonable ground of belief in these things?" |
16866 | Do you think that, if the miracles had been really wrought, there could have been any doubters of Christianity?" |
16866 | Do you think, Signor, that in such acts the principles of your Church are complied with or violated?" |
16866 | Does he not say, that it is a strange argument for a day of recompense, that man has unsatisfied claims upon God? |
16866 | Does it necessarily follow that they must involve anguish and death? |
16866 | Does not God( if you suppose it his doing) swallow up whole cities by earthquake, or overwhelm them with volcanic fires? |
16866 | For to what, after all, have just notions on this most important subject been owing, except to this said Christianity? |
16866 | For why can not an historical fact constitute part of a religion?" |
16866 | Has there been any lack of historic controversy respecting a thousand facts which have transpired since the press was in full activity? |
16866 | Has this level for the whole race been raised perceptibly within the memory of so- called history? |
16866 | Have men in general been disposed to believe a book- revelation impossible? |
16866 | Have they not even declared, that, as in dreams all seems to be real, so in their waking moments all may be no more than a dream? |
16866 | Have we offended him? |
16866 | Have you not heard?" |
16866 | Have you nothing to say to that?" |
16866 | He--""Ought you not to say it?" |
16866 | How came so many in so many different countries to do this at once? |
16866 | How came they to persist in regarding them as authoritative truth? |
16866 | How can we be sure that we have seen it? |
16866 | How can we help our principle( if we are to hold it at all) leading to some such conclusion? |
16866 | How do you know it?" |
16866 | How else can you gain any access to my supposed''spiritual faculties''?" |
16866 | How else, in the name of common sense, did he get access to your soul at all?" |
16866 | How is he to be worshipped? |
16866 | How is it that none of them even transiently satisfied you? |
16866 | How shall we discriminate them?" |
16866 | How, then, stands the argument? |
16866 | However, what is this instance of your kindness to my possible children?" |
16866 | I ask how I shall know the intimation of the spiritual faculty, which renders all"external revelation"an impertinence? |
16866 | I said, gayly,"Well, then, let me ask( as our old friend with the queer face might have said), Do you not grant there is such a thing as prudence?" |
16866 | I want to know whether the principle is to be applied without limits at all, as your speculative theory demands? |
16866 | I want to know whether you would believe this story, thus authenticated, or not?" |
16866 | If a man gives us his gods, what more can he do? |
16866 | If he have, but under such circumstances, is its utility so unquestionable that no space is left for the offices of an external revelation? |
16866 | If it is to extend to such variations, what do we say but this,--that the order of nature is uniform and invariable, except where-- it is the reverse? |
16866 | If man can do so much by his books, is it impossible that a book from God might do something more? |
16866 | If there be none, then how far shall we adopt and carry out the principles of Strauss? |
16866 | If they concede( as how can they help it?) |
16866 | If we are to labor for posterity, will not our work remain, though we die? |
16866 | If your theory be true, how can there be any doubt as to your''innate''sentiments? |
16866 | In is his opinion, is it not, that men began by being polytheists and idolaters?" |
16866 | In other words, if there were such things as miracles at all, might there be miracles in connection with mind as well as in connection with matter? |
16866 | In other words, ought we not to adhere to the great principle we have already laid down, that a miracle is impossible?" |
16866 | Is Saul among the prophets? |
16866 | Is he not, like all other infidels, peculiarly scandalized, that God should have enjoined the extermination of the Canaanites? |
16866 | Is he or it one or many? |
16866 | Is he placable or not? |
16866 | Is it not even possible, then, that this task should be performed by a book like the Bible? |
16866 | Is it not rather a thing to be said with tears as the saddest thing in the world?" |
16866 | Is it not then assimilated, by your own confession, to every other religion? |
16866 | Is it not to assume the very point in debate? |
16866 | Is it possible that these curious and varied coincidences can be the mere effect of chance?'' |
16866 | Is it possible to go further? |
16866 | Is not that the account which Hume gives of the matter?" |
16866 | Is not that what you mean? |
16866 | Is not that your notion?" |
16866 | Is not this taught us as plainly by our uniform experience as any thing else? |
16866 | Is not your truth, that there is none?" |
16866 | Is that likely to find favor in the eyes of mankind?" |
16866 | Is there then not even a possibility left for an external revelation? |
16866 | Is this like condemning women to be"elegant toys and voluptuous appendages"? |
16866 | It is really very provoking; of what use is it to destroy the Bible so often, when it lives the next minute? |
16866 | It is said that he was a Spaniard: but who so fit as a Spaniard to be represented as the agent of the Holy See? |
16866 | It is this:--"''Can you tell me, child, who made you?'' |
16866 | It is true he has admitted( and indeed who can deny it?) |
16866 | It is undoubtedly a subtile question for him to decide for you; namely, what is the condition of your own consciousness? |
16866 | May it not have been imaginary? |
16866 | Meantime an external revelation is impossible?" |
16866 | Meantime, what becomes of the prodigy during the time in which it is uncertain whether any thing will come of it or not? |
16866 | Much happiness?" |
16866 | Must he be annihilated? |
16866 | Must it be starved? |
16866 | Must we not rather abide by that general induction from the evidence to which our ordinary experience points us? |
16866 | Never was a question more senseless than that of the idolatrous fool,--"Ye have taken away my gods, and what else have I left?" |
16866 | No; but is man all reason? |
16866 | No; do not you with Strauss contend that a miracle is not to be believed at all, because it contradicts uniform experience? |
16866 | Of what use is it, to argue upon such an hypothesis?" |
16866 | Once more, I asked, could I believe Jews, Jews in the reign of Tiberius or Nero, equal to all these wonders? |
16866 | Once more, then, I ask you whether, on supposition of such testimony, you would reject the supposed fact or not?" |
16866 | One thing, I confess, has often puzzled me much; and that is,--what should we do, in what state of mind should we be, if we did see a miracle?" |
16866 | Only may it not be again presumed here, that He who knows perfectly"what is in man"would be able to perform the work with correspondent perfection? |
16866 | Ought you not in consistency to refuse to act at all in such deplorable deficiency of evidence?" |
16866 | Pray, permit me to ask, did you always believe that a book- revelation was impossible?" |
16866 | Pray, which is really the more benevolent? |
16866 | Shall we call Mr. Newman the Professor of''Spiritual Insight''? |
16866 | Should we not expect, at the very least, the hesitating, suspicious, self- betraying tone usual in all such cases? |
16866 | Suffer me again to ask you what a miracle is?" |
16866 | Tell me, do you not think Paul a''spiritual''man?" |
16866 | That is, the soul speaks to itself, and says,''What have I said?'' |
16866 | That there may be acts of belief that terminate chiefly in the intellect, and may be wholly worthless, who denies? |
16866 | This, then, is the normal condition of humanity?" |
16866 | Was he as an orphan child thinking of his mother, the image of whose dying hours I had so recently called up before him? |
16866 | Was he, by the magic of dream- land, transported back to childhood? |
16866 | Was it possible that England, in the nineteenth century, could be brought to adopt the superstitions of the Middle Age? |
16866 | We may well say, only with much more reason, what the Jews said of Mary''s box of ointment,--"Why was all this waste?" |
16866 | Well, what then? |
16866 | Were there none who attempted this task?" |
16866 | What do you say to this,--yes or no?" |
16866 | What is all this, but to acknowledge the unaccountable nature of the problem? |
16866 | What is his will? |
16866 | What is left that is essential or peculiar to Christianity, when you have denuded it of all that you reject? |
16866 | What is the criterion of universal''spiritual truth,''if there be any? |
16866 | What is the evidence of the uniform existence in man of any such definite faculty? |
16866 | What is the residuum which you condescend to leave to your genuine Christianity?" |
16866 | What more easy than to suppose people dead when they were not, and who were merely recovered from a swoon or trance? |
16866 | What of God? |
16866 | What proof have we that man has an original and universal fountain of spiritual illumination in himself? |
16866 | What will they be able to say? |
16866 | What would you say?" |
16866 | What would you wish otherwise?" |
16866 | What, then, am I to think of this all- sufficient revelation from within? |
16866 | When we say, for example, that hunger and thirst are universal appetites, is it not because we find them universal? |
16866 | When will you let me hear you?" |
16866 | Where are your protests and efforts? |
16866 | Where would have been the use of asking counsel of such an oracle?" |
16866 | Who can believe that a Cardinal of the Romish Church, Wiseman or fool, would have been simple enough for such a step as this? |
16866 | Who can believe that only one man was sacrificed, and he on the predominant side? |
16866 | Who ever heard, indeed, of commotion such as this is pretended to have been, and its ending in vox et praeterea nihil? |
16866 | Who''strain at the gnats''of the Bible, and''swallow the camels''of your Natural Religion? |
16866 | Why insist on harmonizing things which do not, and never can harmonize? |
16866 | Why perplex yourself to no purpose?" |
16866 | Why should you perplex yourself, as you apparently do, about a thing so hopeless to be found out as truth? |
16866 | Will the Transatlantic republicans approve despotism on the same authority? |
16866 | Will you assist me in resolving them?--but not to- night; let us have a little more talk about old college days,--or what say you to a game at chess?" |
16866 | Will you let me, on a future day, read to you a brief paper upon it? |
16866 | Will you see with me whether there is any fair mode of escaping from them? |
16866 | Would you not say,''Learned sir, we humbly thought this was the point you were engaged in making out? |
16866 | Would you think, if you were turned into a Hottentot to- morrow, you had a religion worthy of the name, or not?" |
16866 | You believe, then, in the force of evidence, which equally establishes truth and falsehood?" |
16866 | You believe, you say, in the resurrection of Christ?" |
16866 | You do not conclude that the man''s estimate of the future-- his philosophy of that-- is any the more questionable for this folly? |
16866 | You do not deny, I suppose, that he does think the world needs enlightening?" |
16866 | You do not despair of all this?" |
16866 | You mean an external revelation?" |
16866 | You must remember that he says so?" |
16866 | You reject, then, the characteristic doctrines of Christianity?" |
16866 | You say there can be faith without belief, and a true faith that is connected with any belief, however erroneous, do you not?" |
16866 | You say, that, as far as regards every thing else, it is very possible that these''inspired''men might err to any amount?" |
16866 | You will say, feeling is not argument? |
16866 | You wish to hear a few of these experiments?" |
16866 | and may not the advocate for miracles say that miracles are amongst them? |
16866 | and should I not have had it, if it had been incumbent on me to believe it?" |
16866 | and that you wish it were in your power to destroy it?" |
16866 | he said,"you wish to get the Socratic weather- gage of me, do you? |
16866 | nay, have not some said that it is impossible to tell which is the real and which the dreaming part of their existence?" |
16866 | nothing but what you would know and approve just as well without it? |
16866 | of goodness and mercy equal to his power, or not? |
16866 | of infinite attributes or finite? |
16866 | or even did I concede that you could have known and approved without it that which, when it is proposed, you do approve? |
16866 | or how can you ascertain these men meant what you mean, when you thus vilely copy their language?" |
16866 | or how can you separate the one from the other? |
16866 | or whether they are not part of the corruptions? |
16866 | p. 245)"How, then, can the state of the soul be tested by the conclusion to which the intellect is led?" |
16866 | than to fancy the blaze of a flambeau to be a star, and to shape thunder into articulate speech, and so on? |
16866 | than to imagine the blind, deaf, or dumb to be miraculously healed, when in fact they were cured by medical skill? |
16866 | that I sought him in the lonely glens and mountains, but found him not? |
16866 | that her child had wandered from the fold of the Good Shepherd, and had gone I knew not whither? |
16866 | that in the one capacity he protests against what he allows in the other? |
16866 | that many of the most obstinate and dangerous prejudices of mankind are principally due to it? |
16866 | that the whole style of thought on this subject is so totally different in them all, by his own confession? |
16866 | upon the supposition that there was any thing morally objectionable in his doctrine?" |
16866 | you will say,"my brother; is not that old vein of bitterness yet exhausted?" |
19082 | 11Is not He who created man able to quicken the dead? |
19082 | 12The scoffers say,''Shall we be raised to life, and our forefathers too, after we have become dust and bones? |
19082 | 14What does Abraham to those circumcised who have sinned too much? |
19082 | 22 Does it not seem perfectly plain that John''s doctrine of the Christ is at bottom identical with Philo''s doctrine of the Logos? 19082 32 And again he writes,"If souls survive, how has ethereal space made room for them all from eternity? |
19082 | 34 Was Jesusfrom above,"while wicked men were"from beneath"? |
19082 | 7 Origen also and who, after the apostles themselves, knew their thoughts and their use of language better than he? 19082 All things remain as they were: where is the promise of his appearing?" |
19082 | But some one will say, How are the dead raised up? 19082 Can you cast a pair for me?" |
19082 | Else why stand we in jeopardy every hour? |
19082 | For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? |
19082 | Hath the news of the overwhelming day of judgment reached thee? 19082 If souls be substances corporeal, Be they as big just as the body is? |
19082 | In this tabernacle we groan, being burdened,and,"Who shall deliver me from this body of death?" |
19082 | Is the law against the promises of God? 19082 Jesus said not unto him,''He shall not die;''but,''If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?''" |
19082 | Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost? |
19082 | O Charidas, what are the things below? 19082 O eternity, what art thou? |
19082 | So, thou hast immortality in mind? 19082 That I can,"says the man:"will you have them large or small?" |
19082 | Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall be those things thou hast gathered? |
19082 | What aileth them, that they believe not the resurrection? 19082 What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where he was before?" |
19082 | What if some did not believe? 19082 When bodies are raised, will each soul spontaneously know its own and enter it? |
19082 | Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ, why are ye subject to worldly ordinances? 19082 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?" |
19082 | Why is God here? 19082 Why,"complainingly sighed the afflicted patriarch,"why died I not at my birth? |
19082 | Will all have one size and one sex? |
19082 | Will all rise of the same age? |
19082 | Will each one''s hairs and nails all be restored to him in the resurrection? |
19082 | Will the deformities and scars of our present bodies be retained in the resurrection? |
19082 | ''Then why was this cross put over you?'' |

19082 | 6, 2. circumstances, than it is for him to go to heaven to such an experience as the faithful follower of Christ supposes is there awaiting him? |
19082 | 7 What debauched unbeliever ever inculcated a viler or a more fatal doctrine? |
19082 | 8 In seasons of imminent danger as in a shipwreck it was customary for a man to ask his companion, Hast thou been initiated? |
19082 | According to the Zoroastrian modes of thought, what would have been the fate of man had Ahriman not existed or not interfered? |
19082 | Accordingly, the question next arises, What is death when considered in this its true aspect? |
19082 | Admitting the truth of the common doctrine of the atonement, why did Christ die? |
19082 | And Pluto? |
19082 | And am I then revenged To take him in the purging of his soul, When he is fit and season''d for his passage? |
19082 | And can it be that every soul in the universe is better than the Maker and Father of the universe? |
19082 | And how will it be with us then? |
19082 | And is a common man better than Christ? |
19082 | And is it not an incredible blasphemy to deny to the deified Christ a magnanimity equal to that which any good man would exhibit? |
19082 | And is it not equally obvious, that it can lay no sort of claim to logical validity? |
19082 | And is man better than his Maker? |
19082 | And is not this a desertion of the orthodox doctrine of the Church? |
19082 | And is this blood, then, form''d but to be shed? |
19082 | And lives there a man of unperverted soul who would not decidedly prefer to have no God rather than to have such a one? |
19082 | And now, recalling the varied studies we have passed through, and seeking for the conclusion or root of the matter, what shall we say? |
19082 | And we find the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews thus replying to the question, Why did Christ die? |
19082 | And what do history and prophecy show more plainly than the tendency to a convergence of all humanity in every man? |
19082 | And what is that but the very consciousness, or the subject as its own object? |
19082 | And what method is there of crushing or evaporating these out of being? |
19082 | And what period can we imagine to terminate the unimpeded spirit''s abilities to learn, to enjoy, to expand? |
19082 | And what reception do the conclusions of those few meet at the hands of the public? |
19082 | And what the returns to earth? |
19082 | And whither do we go? |
19082 | And why should not the two shades be conceived, if either? |
19082 | And, however that Power be named, is it not God? |
19082 | Are not the poetic process and its sophistry clear? |
19082 | Are there not Those that fall down out of humanity Into the story where the four legg''d dwell?" |
19082 | Are there not souls"To whom dishonor''s shadow is a substance More terrible than death here and hereafter"? |
19082 | Are you a Gentile, an idolatrous member of the uncircumcision, or a scorner of the Levitic and Rabbinical customs? |
19082 | Are you afflicted? |
19082 | Are you blessed? |
19082 | Are you in danger? |
19082 | As long as you live, is it not glory and reward enough to have conquered the beasts at Ephesus? |
19082 | Because in death thou dost not know that thou art, therefore fearest thou that thou shalt be no more? |
19082 | Believing, as he certainly did, in a devil, the author and lord of darkness, falsehood, and death, would he not conceive a kingdom for him? |
19082 | Besides, had there been no sin, could not man have been drowned if he fell into the water without knowing how to swim? |
19082 | Besides, if they slept, how knew they what transpired in the mean time? |
19082 | Besides, there is a parallel fact of deep significance in our unquestionable experience;"For is not our first year forgot? |
19082 | But admitting the clauses apparently descriptive of the nature of this retribution to be metaphorical, yet what shall we think of its duration? |
19082 | But how did the Gentiles enter into belief and participation of the glad tidings? |
19082 | But how does such an antagonism arise? |
19082 | But if an indefinite number of impressions were superimposed on the same paper, could the fumes of mercury restore any one called for at random? |
19082 | But if such a world of fire, crowded with the writhing damned, ever existed at all, could it exist forever? |
19082 | But if the doctrine be true, and he is on probation under it, is it fair that he should be left honestly in ignorance or doubt about it? |
19082 | But if the souls live so long in heaven and hell without their flesh, why need they ever resume it? |
19082 | But some one may say,"If I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me if the dead rise not?" |
19082 | But that plausibility becomes an extreme probability nay, shall we not say certainty? |
19082 | But what are good and evil? |
19082 | But what else means the minute morbid anatomy of death beds, the prurient curiosity to know how the dying one bore himself in the solemn passage? |
19082 | But what is the prophecy, and how is it to be fulfilled? |
19082 | But what shall solace or end it if they know that hell''s borders are to be enlarged and to rage with avenging misery forever? |
19082 | But what was to become of the righteous and redeemed? |
19082 | But whence did we come? |
19082 | But, waiving that, what would the legitimate correspondence to it be for man? |
19082 | By what proofs is so tremendous a conclusion supported? |
19082 | Callimachus wrote the following couplet as an epitaph on the celebrated misanthrope:"Timon, hat''st thou the world or Hades worse? |
19082 | Can a breath move Mount Kaf? |
19082 | Can a ganglion solve a problem in Euclid or understand the Theodicee of Leibnitz? |
19082 | Can a mathematical number tell the difference between good and evil? |
19082 | Can air feel? |
19082 | Can air, earth, water, fire, live and we dead? |
19082 | Can an action love and hate, choose and resolve, rejoice and grieve, remember, repent, and pray? |
19082 | Can any defective technicality damn such a man? |
19082 | Can blood see? |
19082 | Can earth be jealous of a rival and loyal to a duty? |
19082 | Can egotistic folly any further go? |
19082 | Can every element our elements mar? |
19082 | Can fire think? |
19082 | Can human thought divine the answer? |
19082 | Can it be left there forever? |
19082 | Can it be that the roar of its furnace shall rage on, and the wail of the execrable anguish ascend, eternally? |
19082 | Can the fearful anguish of bereavement be gratuitous? |
19082 | Can water will? |
19082 | Can we imagine that we are the creators of God? |
19082 | Comes not death as a means to bear him thither? |
19082 | Compare the following text:"The baptism of John, whence was it, from Heaven, or of men?" |
19082 | Considering, then, that beatific experience of which heaven consists, under the metaphor of a city, what are its ways of entrance? |
19082 | Could Christ be satisfied? |
19082 | Could God suffer it? |
19082 | Could any conventional arrangement, or accident of locality, save such a man, while his character remained unchanged? |
19082 | Could the angels be contented when they contemplated the far off lurid orb and knew the agonies that fed its conscious conflagration? |
19082 | Could the saved be happy and passive in heaven when the muffled shrieks of their brethren, faint from the distance, fell on their ears? |
19082 | Could they have dreamed it? |
19082 | Cur? |
19082 | Destroy his organization, and what follows? |
19082 | Did Jesus perform miraculous works? |
19082 | Did they except none from the remediless doom of Hades? |
19082 | Do you belong to the chosen family of Abraham, and are you undefiled in relation to all the requirements of our code? |
19082 | Does a surprising piece of good fortune accrue to any one, splendid riches, a commanding position, a peerless friendship? |
19082 | Does it follow that at that time it was a common belief that the trees actually went forth occasionally to choose them a king? |
19082 | Does it not betoken a preserved epitome of the long history of slowly rising existence? |
19082 | Does justice heed the wrath of the offended, or the guilt of the offender? |
19082 | Does not the record plainly show this to an impartial reader? |
19082 | Does not the simple truth of love conquer and trample the world''s aggregated lie? |
19082 | Does not the whole idea appear rather like a rhetorical image than like a sober theological doctrine? |
19082 | Does the butterfly ever come back to put on the exuvia that have perished in the ground? |
19082 | Does the engineer die when the fire goes out and the locomotive stops? |
19082 | Dormant in the body, dead with the body, laid in the tomb? |
19082 | Doth it not seem the impression of a seal Can be no larger than the wax? |
19082 | Eliphaz the Temanite says,"Is not God in the height of heaven? |
19082 | Exhausted with wanderings, sated with experiments, will he not pray for the exempted lot of a contented fruition in repose? |
19082 | For a delegation was once sent to ask Jesus,"Art thou Elias? |
19082 | For example: what direct proof is there that Christ, when he vanished from the disciples, went to the presence of God in heaven, to die no more? |
19082 | For is it not one flexible instant of opportunity, and then an adamantine immortality of doom? |
19082 | For what purpose, then, was it thought that Jesus went to the imprisoned souls of the under world? |
19082 | For what were the most vivid of all the experiences men had among their fellows on earth? |
19082 | Fourthly, after the notion of a great, epochal resurrection, as a reply to the inquiry, What is to become of the soul? |
19082 | God asked Gabriel,"Whence comes that Amen?" |
19082 | Had Jesus an inspiration and a knowledge not vouchsafed to the princes of this world? |
19082 | Had it been all along credited in its literal sense, as a divine revelation, could this be so? |
19082 | Had not Plato that idea? |
19082 | Hast grounds that will not let thee doubt it? |
19082 | Have we not eternity in our thought, infinitude in our view, and God for our guide? |
19082 | He says, while answering the question, How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come? |
19082 | He took my father grossly full of bread, With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May; And how his audit stands who knows save Heaven? |
19082 | He waits passively for the resistless round of fate to bear him away, ah, whither? |
19082 | Here we are, And there we go: but where? |
19082 | His disciples once asked him,"What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" |
19082 | How came the notions of punishment, fire, brimstone, and kindred imagery, to be connected with it? |
19082 | How can it be remedied? |
19082 | How can men be guilty of a sin committed thousands of years before they were born, and deserve to be sent to hopeless hell for it? |
19082 | How can we demonstrate that it does not fall within the same class on the laws of evidence?" |
19082 | How can we pass to its citizenship? |
19082 | How does any one know that the mind of Jesus dialectically grasped the metaphysical notion of eternity and deliberately intended to express it? |
19082 | How does it comport with the old traditions? |
19082 | How does that event, admitted as a fact, rest in the average personal experience of Christians now? |
19082 | How has the earth found room for all the bodies buried in it? |
19082 | How have these horrors obtained such a seated hold in the world? |
19082 | How is it possible for any one to doubt that the text under consideration teaches his subterranean mission during the period of his bodily burial? |
19082 | How is this to be done? |
19082 | How much of the current representations in relation to another life were held as strict verity? |
19082 | How much, now, does this second fact imply? |
19082 | How, then, can it be said that the doctrine of a future life for man is revealed by it or implicated in it? |
19082 | I a lost soul? |
19082 | I separated from hope and from peace forever? |
19082 | If Nirwana be simply annihilation, why is it not so stated? |
19082 | If a building tumbled upon him, would he not have been crushed? |
19082 | If a man believe in no future life, is he thereby absolved from the moral law? |
19082 | If by"the dead"was meant"the bodies,"why are we not told so? |
19082 | If death be absolute, is it not an evil? |
19082 | If light can thus deceive, wherefore not life?" |
19082 | If man be not destined for perennial life, why is this dread of non existence woven into the soul''s inmost fibres? |
19082 | If on the first day you should shatter it, and thus rob it of one day''s life, would you be guilty of murder? |
19082 | If the souls of men are ideas of God, must they not be as enduring as his mind? |
19082 | If there be no future for him, why is he tortured with the inspiring idea of the eternal pursuit of the still flying goal of perfection? |
19082 | In a little while, as the ravaging reaper sweeps on his way, who will not have still more there, or be there himself? |
19082 | In distinction, then, from the monstrous mass of mistakes denoted by it, what is the truth carried in the awful word, hell? |
19082 | In reference to the question, Can ephemera have a moral law? |
