36614 | And why? |
36614 | Did you ever see a person who was dead? |
36614 | Some children at twelve years old begin to think about their souls and to say,"What would become of me if I were to die?" |
36614 | When Jesus came into the room where she was lying, he said to these people,"Why do you make this noise? |
36614 | Who was that man? |
36614 | Why did Jesus say she slept? |
36614 | Why do you weep? |
37611 | Have you ever felt great pain? |
37611 | My dear child, have you had any troubles? |
37611 | Whose voice was that? |
37611 | Will you trust him? |
37611 | have you been punished for your faults? |
37611 | have you got into disgrace? |
37611 | have you lost a little baby brother or sister? |
36584 | And did the Lord take notice of him at last? |
36584 | And what did Jesus say to him? |
36584 | But the blind man could not go to him-- how could he dare to stir in such a crowd? |
36584 | But where is Jesus? |
36584 | Do not you pity the blind? |
36584 | Do you know? |
36584 | He asked him this question,"What do you wish me to do for you?" |
36584 | If he were to say,"What do you wish me to do for you?" |
36584 | If you were blind how could you read to father or to mother? |
36584 | Is he dead? |
36584 | Jesus, who was so very kind, Who came to pardon sinful men, Who heal''d the sick, and cur''d the blind: Oh, must not I have loved him then? |
36584 | What is it? |
36584 | what would you answer? |
57202 | Did n''t you know? 57202 How could I have forgotten it, my child, since Sister Beatrix has never stopped being the custodian of the holy basilica? |
57202 | Is it you, Beatrix? 57202 What''s this, my daughter?" |
57202 | What''s this? |
57202 | Why did I leave you? |
57202 | But how is it, my dear child, that you did not think to pull on the bell or to use the knocker? |
57202 | Can you feel already the circulation coming back into your fingers as I breathe on them? |
57202 | Do you remember that time, reverend mother?" |
57202 | How was it you fell from what you were? |
57202 | Only, so that I can include it in my prayers, can you please tell me where I am?" |
57202 | Was it a divine punishment, a foretaste of those reserved for her by a celestial curse? |
57202 | Was it an illusion produced by remorse? |
57202 | What new resting place had she chosen? |
57202 | What secret sin could have brought down this disgrace on the manor house of THE SAINT? |
57202 | Why had the Virgin Mary left it? |
57202 | Why have you allowed your Beatrix to fall prey to the awful passions of hell? |
57202 | Why have you forsaken me? |
26190 | Andy? 26190 But are you all right? |
26190 | He has a good voice, Andy, do n''t you think? |
26190 | What is it, Elsie? |
26190 | What--? |
26190 | Where are you? 26190 Why did n''t you-- tell-- me-- sooner?" |
26190 | And remember what happened right after that? |
26190 | Andy Junior if a boy? |
26190 | Andy-- where are you--? |
26190 | Are n''t you coming?" |
26190 | Are you in the hospital? |
26190 | Are you sure that''s really what you want above all else?_ Andy Larson was a hard- headed Swede. |
26190 | Did the doctor--?" |
26190 | Elsie if a girl? |
26190 | He thought he was getting weaker-- but how could he tell for sure? |
26190 | Is everything all right? |
26190 | Is the doctor there? |
26190 | Or Karen, or Mary, or Kirsten, or maybe Hermione? |
26190 | Right there in the bathroom?" |
26190 | They talked of what they would do when he came home, and what would they call the baby? |
26190 | What right did he have thinking he had any control over what happened to him? |
26190 | You must have needed me, Andy, or how did you get back to me?" |
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? |
20336 | Arra, who''d dar come next or near it, let alone stale it? 20336 Because I heard that the women here were all Zerlinas, like you, and the men Masettos, like Mr. Phil-- where are you going to?" |
20336 | Cardinal: may I ask whether traces of insanity have ever appeared in our family? |
20336 | Confound you, sir--"Do you suppose that this--"What the deuce--? |
20336 | Did I say they were beneath me, Miss Hickey? 20336 Her name? |
20336 | How old is she? |
20336 | Is it possible that you dislike it? |
20336 | Is not the above a businesslike statement? 20336 May I turn down the light?" |
20336 | Nothing to me that you hate me and love another? |
20336 | Sir,said the man with the revolver, coarsely,"may I ask whether you are mad, that you disturb people at this hour with such unearthly noise?" |
20336 | The truth of-- who dared to doubt my uncle''s word? 20336 Then you do not love him?" |
20336 | Well, Zeno,said my uncle:"what do you think of Father Hickey now?" |
20336 | What are you doin, Phil? |
20336 | What do you intend to do during your stay here? |
20336 | What do you want at this hour? |
20336 | When do most people come? 20336 Who are you?" |
20336 | Why will you persist in treating me like a child, uncle? 20336 Why-- damn everything-- do you suppose we were enjoying it?" |
20336 | Why? |
20336 | You disapprove of my liking it, then? 20336 You understand me?" |
20336 | Can you, with that sound softening the darkness of the village night, cherish a feeling of spite against one who admires you?" |
20336 | Did I say you had no manners? |
20336 | Do you defy me?" |
20336 | Do you know your way back to your hotel?" |
20336 | Had I not been mad to expect it? |
20336 | Have you any more questions to ask about her?" |
20336 | In the afternoon, I suppose?" |
20336 | Is it agreed that you go?" |
20336 | Is it me stay here all night? |
20336 | Is this his own hand- writing? |
20336 | Is your business beginning to fall off yet?" |
20336 | Langan?" |
20336 | Langan?" |
20336 | May I stay half an hour?" |
20336 | Or is it that you grudge me the happiness I have found here? |
20336 | What is her name?" |
20336 | What says Reverend Hickey of the apparitions?" |
20336 | Why do you ask?" |
20336 | Will that do?" |
20336 | Will you favor me with your attention for awhile? |
20336 | Will you forgive me?" |
20336 | Would he have entrusted such a task to a madman, think you?" |
20336 | You have heard of the miracles at Knock?" |
20336 | You will excuse me?" |
20336 | do you stay here all night by yourself?" |
20336 | will you sit down and listen to me?" |
13433 | But, if our author disposes of the coincidences with the third Gospel in this way( proceeds Dr. Lightfoot),"what will he say to those with the Acts? |
13433 | May we not ventureto render it"the well of Sychar"? |
13433 | 1 as the beginning? |
13433 | 2,''They were entrusted with the oracles of God,''can he mean anything else but the Old Testament Scriptures, including the historical books?" |
13433 | 21_ sq._)? |
13433 | 34),''O Jerusalem, Jerusalem..._ how often_ would I have gathered thy children together''? |
13433 | 60, with which it coincides? |
13433 | ; can Oracles include narrative? |
13433 | ; on Simeon, 52 Hemphill, Professor, did Eusebius directly know Tatian''s_ Diatessaron_? |
13433 | ; was Eusebius directly acquainted with Tatian''s_ Diatessaron_? |
13433 | ; was Eusebius directly acquainted with Tatian''s_ Diatessaron_? |
13433 | ; was he mistaken? |
13433 | And what is the value of any evidence emanating from the Ignatian Epistles and martyrologies? |
13433 | Besides, if such a governor did pronounce so severe a sentence, why did he not execute it in Antioch? |
13433 | But I must ask upon what ground he limits my remark to those who absolutely admit the genuineness? |
13433 | But how can it prove that the Greek original of this supposed Syriac version is the genuine text, and not an interpolated and partially forged one?" |
13433 | But what does this amount to? |
13433 | But what more natural than this presentiment, when persecution was raging around him and fire was a common instrument of death? |
13433 | But what purpose was served by thus importing into his notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references? |
13433 | Can Truth by any means be made less true? |
13433 | Can our second Gospel be considered a work composed"without recording in order what was either said or done by Christ"? |
13433 | Can reality be melted into thin air? |
13433 | Can we suppose that he meant anything else but the Old Testament Scriptures by this expression? |
13433 | Could there be more palpable evidence of the frivolous and superficial character of his objections? |
13433 | Did Eusebius intend to point out mere quotations of the books which he considered undisputed? |
13433 | If this doubt exist, however, of what value can the passage from Papias be as evidence? |
13433 | If this point be, for the sake of argument, set aside, what is the position? |
13433 | Is it not perfectly clear that no place of the name of Sychar can be reasonably identified? |
13433 | Now what has been the result of this minute and prejudiced attack upon my notes? |
13433 | Shall we one day discover that Victor was equally right about the reading_ Diapente_? |
13433 | Supposing that the use of Acts be held to be thus indicated, what does this prove? |
13433 | What means could there be of correcting it and positively ascertaining the truth? |
13433 | Whence this terrible blow but from the wrath of the Gods, who must be appeased by unusual sacrifices? |
13433 | Where, then, did he get his information? |
13433 | Whose fault is it that two and two do make four and not five? |
13433 | Whose folly is it that it should be more agreeable to think that two and two make five than to know that they only make four? |
13433 | Why does he not also state that I distinctly refer to Tischendorf''s denial that Hegesippus was opposed to Paul? |
13433 | Why send the prisoner to Rome? |
13433 | Why should Ignatius have been so exceptionally treated? |
13433 | Why was the punishment not| were in the days of Chrysostom and carried out at Antioch? |
13433 | [ 56:1] Now, interpreted even by the rules laid down by Dr. Lightfoot himself, what does this silence really mean? |
13433 | and the genealogies? |
13433 | depend more on the narrative of God''s dealings than His words? |
13433 | quid hac dignatione felicius? |
37232 | ( 1) How could he, therefore, find any difficulty in such words addressed to the repentant Zacchaeus, who had just believed in the mission of Christ? 37232 ( 1) In the fourth Gospel, to the question:"What must we do, that we may work the works of God?" |
37232 | ( 1) What date must be assigned to this Epistle? 37232 ( 4) Little evidence? |
37232 | ''How, Lord,''I said,''is the rock old and the gate new?'' |
37232 | ( 1) How came the devil, the origin of lying and deceit, to be made at all? |
37232 | ( 2) Now if Marcion mutilated Luke to so little purpose as this, what was the use of his touching it at all? |
37232 | ( 2)"If Satan cast out Satan he is divided against himself: how then can his kingdom stand?" |
37232 | ( 3) Did he omit them or merely use a Gospel which never included them? |
37232 | 14, where Jesus bids the lepers conform to the requirements of the law? |
37232 | 17:{1}"Why askest thou me concerning good? |
37232 | 18 ff, in which the keeping of the law is made essential to life? |
37232 | 18,(2) the[------] is retained, and the question of the ruler is:"Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
37232 | 2,(5){ 112} where the Pharisees say of him:"This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them?" |
37232 | 24:(2)"Do ye not therefore err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?" |
37232 | 25,(5)"so that the question of the lawyer simply ran:{ 113}"Master, what shall I do to inherit life?" |
37232 | 29, in reply to the question,"Which is the first Commandment of all? |
37232 | 29, where the answer is given to the rich man pleading for his relatives:"They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them"? |
37232 | 2? |
37232 | 3 So Credner, Ewald, Hitzig, Lachmann,(?) |
37232 | 34, the passage reads:"and if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye?" |
37232 | 4 B. Bauer, Hitzig(?) |
37232 | 46:(4)"But why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" |
37232 | 7, 9:"I am the door,"the question:"What is the door of Jesus?" |
37232 | And he said unto them: What would ye that I should do for you? |
37232 | And how can we believe thy story that he was seen by thee? |
37232 | And how could he have been seen by thee when thy thoughts are contrary to his teaching? |
37232 | And if thou sayest:''It is possible,''then wherefore did the Teacher remain and discourse for a whole year to us who were awake? |
37232 | And in what way? |
37232 | And when you know this, with what{ 366} gladness, think you, you will be filled? |
37232 | But Jesus said to them: Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink the cup that I drink? |
37232 | But can any one through a vision be made wise to teach? |
37232 | But he answered and said unto them: Who are my mother and brethren? |
37232 | By whom was it written? |
37232 | For he will send him to judge, and who shall abide his presence? |
37232 | God calls out: Adam, where art thou? |
37232 | He also cites Melito of Sardis: why does he not refer to Apollinaris of Hierapolis? |
37232 | He, therefore, explains the question of the rulers:"What is the door of Jesus?" |
37232 | If it be argued that he was still living, then why does Eusebius not mention him amongst those who protested against the measures of Victor of Rome? |
37232 | If moreover the translator{ 245} was so ignorant of Latin, can we trust his translation? |
37232 | In any case, what could such a statement as this do towards establishing the Apostolic origin and credibility of the fourth Gospel? |
37232 | Is it possible that he could have had nothing interesting to tell about a work presenting so many striking and distinctive features? |
37232 | It is Judas Iscariot, and not the disciples, who says:"Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?" |
37232 | Now, was it, as one of men might reason, for tyranny and to cause fear and consternation? |
37232 | Or how will you love him, who beforehand so loved you? |
37232 | The question therefore is: Are these data sufficiently ample and trustworthy for a decisive judgment{ 91} from internal evidence? |
37232 | The words:"Or how will you love him who so beforehand loved you?" |
37232 | There is evidently no intention on the part of the Scribes and Pharisees here to ridicule, in asking:"What is the door of Jesus?" |
37232 | To the all- important question:"How old is Heracleon?" |
37232 | To the inquiry:"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
37232 | Upon what principle of dogmatic interest, then, can Marcion have erased the one while he retained the other? |
37232 | We again, however, come to the question: Who really made the quotations which Hippolytus introduces so indefinitely? |
37232 | When did Irenæus, however, really write his work against Heresies? |
37232 | Why single these out and seem to exclude the sellers of sheep and oxen? |
37232 | [------]''And why is the gate new, Lord?'' |
37232 | and what guarantee have we that he has not paraphrased and expanded the original? |
37232 | can he enter a second time into his mothers womb and be born? |
37232 | or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? |
37232 | these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?" |
37232 | used in the 2 Why"early"? |
37232 | ye of little faith?" |
37232 | { 208} our Gnostics in the present tense? |
37231 | ( 1) He then proceeds to meet possible objections:But does not( it may be asked) the very statement of the proposition imply a contradiction? |
37231 | ( 1) In thathigher and purer nature"can a grain of wheat issue in a loaf of bread? |
37231 | ( 2) Now, interpreted even by the rules laid down( xxiii) by Dr. Lightfoot himself, what does this silence really mean? 37231 ( 2) What was the writers authority for this statement? |
37231 | ( 3) Dr. Mansel asks:Is matter or mind the truer image of God? |
37231 | ( 3) Paley states the case with equal clearness:In what way can a revelation be made but by miracles? |
37231 | ( 4) Why, then, does he call it an assumption? 37231 For if he had not come in the flesh, how could men have been saved by beholding him? |
37231 | If I by Beelzebub cast out the demons[--Greek--] by whom do your sons cast them out? 37231 If ye love them which love you, what_ new_ thing do ye? |
37231 | ( 1)"Why, then, say they, do these miracles which you declare to have taken place formerly, not occur now- a- days?" |
37231 | ( 2) What reply, for instance, can reason give to any appeal to it regarding the doctrine of the Trinity or of the Incarnation? |
37231 | ( 3)"Again, he refers to the Cross of Christ in another prophet saying:''And when shall these things come to pass? |
37231 | 13,"For I came not to call the righteous but sinners"? |
37231 | 41. ff, before them, and does not such a supposition likewise infer the actual authority of Matthew''s Gospel? |
37231 | And what is the value of any evidence emanating from the Ignatian Epistles and martyrologies? |
37231 | And what more shall I say? |
37231 | Are we to believe ignorance and superstition or science and unvarying experience? |
37231 | As Justin introduces them deliberately as quotations, why should they be excluded simply because they are combined with a historical statement? |
37231 | At this starting- point of nature what would a man know of its future course? |
37231 | Because it has not happened before? |
37231 | Because we can not explain its cause? |
37231 | But I must ask upon what ground he limits my remark to those who absolutely admit the genuineness? |
37231 | But how do we know that that communication of what is undiscoverable by human reason is true? |
37231 | But what is there to show the existence of a permanent cause? |
37231 | But what purpose was served by thus importing into his notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references? |
37231 | Can the doctrine of His justification of us and intercession for us, be disjoined from another?... |
37231 | Can the doctrine of our Lord''s Incarnation be disjoined from one physical miracle? |
37231 | Could it with any reason be affirmed that he was acquainted with Matthew and not with Mark? |
37231 | Did Eusebius intend to point out mere quotations of the books which he considered undisputed"? |
37231 | Did they ever really take place? |
37231 | Does the agreement of the quotation with a passage which is equally found in the three Gospels prove the existence of all of them? |
37231 | Does the word Xoyta, however, mean strictly Oracles or discourses alone, or does it include within its fair signification also historical narrative? |
37231 | Dr. Mozley then asks:"What would be the inevitable conclusion of sober reason respecting that person? |
37231 | Had the quotation agreed with our Gospels, would it not have been claimed as a professedly accurate quotation from them? |
37231 | He inquires:"Is the suspension of physical and material laws by a Spiritual Being inconceivable? |
37231 | How can I place any reliance upon it in the other? |
37231 | How can we have a right to declare the induction complete, while facts, supported by credible evidence, present themselves in opposition to it? |
37231 | How, then, according to divines, does it attain any potentiality? |
37231 | If there be a moral at all to the parable, it is the justification of the master:"Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?" |
37231 | If this point be, for the sake of argument, set aside, what is the position? |
37231 | In how many more may not the same passage have been found? |
37231 | Is it legitimate to accept its evidence when we please, and reject it when we please?" |
37231 | Is it not, then, a_ petitio principii_ to say, that the fact ought to be disbelieved because the induction to it is complete? |
37231 | Is the order of nature, which it is asserted is under the personal control of God, at the same time at the mercy of the Devil? |
37231 | Jesus replies,"In what way have I sinned that I should go and be baptized by him? |
37231 | Justin likewise mentions the cry of Jesus on the Cross,"O God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
37231 | Mark has the expression:"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary? |
37231 | Moreover, the expression:"What new thing do ye?" |
37231 | Notwithstanding all this persistent and unanimous confirmation, we ask again: What has now become of the belief in demoniacal possession and sorcery? |
37231 | Now what has been the result of this minute and prejudiced attack upon my notes? |
37231 | Now, unless there be an actual order of nature, how can there be any exception to it? |
37231 | Now, what has become of this theory of disease? |
37231 | The first of these is the reply which James is said to have given to the Scribes and Pharisees:"Why do ye ask me concerning Jesus the Son of Man? |
37231 | We would ask, however, what verification of the death have we in the case of the widow''s son which we have not here? |
37231 | What, then, is the position of the so- called Ignatian Epistles? |
37231 | Whence this terrible blow but from the wrath of the Gods, who must be appeased by unusual sacrifices? |
37231 | Who knows of the miraculous cure of cancer, he continues, in a lady of rank in the same city? |
37231 | Who knows of the next case he mentions in his list? |
37231 | Who would believe, or would be justified in believing, the great facts which constitute its substance on the_ ipse dixit_ of an unaccredited teacher? |
37231 | Why send the prisoner to Rome? |
37231 | Why should Ignatius have been so exceptionally treated? |
37231 | Why should the whole phrase not be equally an interpolation? |
37231 | and Mk.)? |
37231 | and how, except by miracles, could the first teacher be accredited? |
37231 | and if not, how is the Gospel from which it was actually taken to be distinguished? |
37231 | and in thy name cast out devils? |
37231 | and in thy name done many wonderful works?" |
37231 | for even,"& c. Here, in the same verse, we have:"If ye lend to them from whom ye hope to receive, what_ new_ thing do ye? |
37231 | or do the fanatical believers who cast themselves under the wheels of the car of Jagganath establish the soundness of their creed? |
37231 | or with Mark and not with Matthew and Luke? |
37231 | or with the third Gospel and{ 281} not with either of the other two? |
6367 | And in what way do you desire to have souls? |
6367 | But of what treasure are you talkingsaid Masse,"at a time when we are in want of many things?" |
6367 | But, Father,said his companion,"are we not going to preach?" |
6367 | But,added he,"for how many years do you ask me for this indulgence?" |
6367 | How is it, then,replied Bartholomew:"is Francis so great a man, that his presence has such an effect?" |
6367 | I? |
6367 | Men of little faith,replied the Saint,"why have you these doubts? |
6367 | My Father,he would say, with tears in his eyes,"does not our cure tell us that those who do such things will not possess the Kingdom of God?" |
6367 | Oh, how shall I be able to do that,answered Cotolai,"I who am so poor, and who live by my daily labor?" |
6367 | Unfortunate young man,said the Saint,"why do you attempt to show by your eyes what is not in your heart? |
6367 | What my brethrensaid he,"are you still devoid of understanding; and do you not know the will of God? |
6367 | What then,said he,"is devotion grown so cold? |
6367 | What will you give me in payment? |
6367 | What,said he,"do n''t you see our Father, Francis, going up to Heaven?" |
6367 | What,says the man,"shall I leave my plough and lose my time, to serve you?" |
6367 | Why do n''t you answer as I desire you? |
6367 | Why then,continued our Lord,"do you leave God who is the master and rich, to seek man, who is the servant and poor?" |
6367 | A voice forthwith made him this answer:"Francis, what price should be set upon that which shall obtain a kingdom which is above all price? |
6367 | And who can censure a man who is wholly religious, for expressing himself in a manner which is grounded on the first principles of religion? |
6367 | And, after all, what reason has he given me for censuring him? |
6367 | Are the saints not to be imitated in this? |
6367 | As he went away, the Pope asked him:"Whither art thou going, simple man? |
6367 | Because I have appointed you the pastor of this religion which I have established, are you unmindful that I am its principal protector? |
6367 | But is not the garb of St. Francis, which is of ash color, a real purple, which may adorn the dignity of kings and cardinals? |
6367 | But why preach to birds? |
6367 | Could I do less than devote myself wholly to his Order, I, who owe to him all that I have, and all that I am? |
6367 | Do they imagine that they understand the Scriptures better than the holy doctors? |
6367 | Do they not cloak their disobedience by a respectful silence, always ill kept and finally broken through by open rebellion? |
6367 | Does not the cord of St. Francis deserve to gird even royal purple? |
6367 | Finally, as to the falsehood: What risk does the pious multitude run, in believing the miracles of the Lives of the Saints? |
6367 | For, in what do these principles consist? |
6367 | From whence do these come, and from whence did those others arise?" |
6367 | Have you heard, have you, yourself, heard the voice which came forth from the cloud, and which spoke so audibly? |
6367 | He then again asked which of them among those who were there present he should take? |
6367 | He then made this further inquiry:"Lord, when I shall have joined that Order, what mode of life shall I follow, to be more agreeable to Thee?" |
6367 | He who preserved the three young men in the furnace of Babylon, could He not temper in my favor the heat of my brother, the fire?" |
6367 | How does it happen that they do not decorate with all possible magnificence this Peter, on whom Jesus Christ has founded His Church?" |
6367 | How is it that men do not offer all they have, and do not even offer themselves on a spot where the ashes of the Prince of the Apostles repose? |
6367 | If I tell them this, I shall be considered an idiot;-- and if I do not tell it, my conscience will reproach me; what do you think of it?" |
6367 | If a king promised to give a kingdom to one of his subjects, would not that person have great reason to rejoice? |
6367 | If our age deems itself wiser, what reason has it for not doing similar justice? |
6367 | Is not such a discourse sufficient to show us, that St. Francis had great talents and judgment, joined to great knowledge of the practice of virtue? |
6367 | Is there anything which a servant of the Lord should more sedulously avoid?" |
6367 | Is there anything which can soften minds and obtain favors sooner than this virtue? |
6367 | Is there not the greatest rashness in including such men as these in one sweeping condemnation? |
6367 | It is in this sense that St. Paul said:"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
6367 | May we not, by the grace of God, which assuredly will not be wanting, practice those virtues by which they became saints? |
6367 | Moreover, your son is one of God''s creatures; and if God has destined him for Himself, who shall dare to resist His will? |
6367 | Ought not all Christians to have such feelings in their illnesses and other afflictions? |
6367 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or famine, or nakedness, or persecution, or the sword?" |
6367 | Such grand and superb palaces, are they for Friars Minor? |
6367 | The Sultan Meledin asked him who sent them, and for what purpose they came? |
6367 | The cure was much displeased at this, and complained to St. Francis, who asked him, how much he thought he had lost? |
6367 | The young man answered courageously:"My Father, are not you and yours of the same nature as I am, and formed of the same earth? |
6367 | Then Francis said somewhat angrily:"Why have you dared to transgress the rule of obedience, and to answer so often differently to what I desired?" |
6367 | Then asking the child, whether it was God''s will that all the religious who were with him should put to sea and make the voyage with him? |
6367 | Then he reproached them mildly in these words:"Why did you fly, you pusillanimous men, and of little faith? |
6367 | This order vexed Elias, and he came to the door in great irritation, asking what he was wanted for? |
6367 | To what a height of perfection did not God propose to raise this His faithful Servant? |
6367 | To whom do you consign us, in the desolate state in which we are? |
6367 | What can the evil spirit do against a soul whose sole pleasure is to serve God, who has no other solace than to love and praise Him? |
6367 | What certitude hast thou of what thou hast just been granted?" |
6367 | What even can be thought of their most heroic victims? |
6367 | What have I done, therefore, in clothing myself with this garment? |
6367 | What is it that a mother has not a right to require from us, who has given two of her sons to the religious?" |
6367 | What is there more honorable than teaching others from the Evangelical pulpit? |
6367 | What is there more likely to bring down the grace of conversion and sanctification, and increase the love of God, than the practice of works of mercy? |
6367 | What opinion will be formed of their acts? |
6367 | What right have they to limit the words of the Son of God? |
6367 | What shall I say further? |
6367 | What should well- thinking minds desire more than to be employed in defence of the faith, and to combat the enemies of the Church? |
6367 | What, then, did I do that was unseemly,--I whom the Almighty assured of His kingdom? |
6367 | When St. Paul said,"Doth God take care of oxen?" |
6367 | Which of the two do you think best: that I shall give myself to prayer, or that I shall go forth to preach? |
6367 | Which of us would have it in his power to shed a sufficiency of tears to equal the merit of so great and so worthy a subject of grief?" |
6367 | Who could this charitable purveyor be? |
6367 | Who shall say to Him,''Why dost Thou do thus?'' |
6367 | Who will console us? |
6367 | Who will instruct us? |
6367 | Why have you not considered more favorably the merit of obedience? |
6367 | Why, then, do we look to and prefer what is dangerous to what has so much more spiritual advantage, since it is for this that time is given to us?" |
6367 | Will it never be understood that, in the diseases of the soul, as in those of the body, there is nothing so dangerous as a relapse?" |
6367 | Will they be deemed more trustworthy in other matters? |
6367 | and who am I, Thy servant, a miserable worm? |
6367 | and whom and I? |
6367 | by what excess of goodness do you come down from heaven into this small and poor chapel?" |
6367 | do you think that God will have mercy on you, after so many crimes which you have committed?" |
6367 | exclaimed Francis,"what is it your pleasure I should do?" |
6367 | or danger? |
6367 | or distress? |
6367 | or famine? |
6367 | or nakedness? |
6367 | or persecution? |
6367 | or the sword?" |
6367 | shall tribulation? |
6367 | will the sages of this age ask; but why did David say what the Church repeats daily in her Divine Office? |
15905 | But what is it that I have been doing? 15905 How do you know that the Lord doeth it?" |
15905 | What made the Mahommedan world? 15905 When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? |
15905 | )[ 42] There is also a good deal said about a very questionable blind man-- one Albricus( Alberich?) |
15905 | And having made his election, what reasons has he to give for his choice? |
15905 | And if he is not, in what sense has this part of the uniformitarian doctrine, as he defines it, lowered its pretensions to represent scientific truth? |
15905 | And if so, how can agnosticism be the"mere negation of the physicist"? |
15905 | And now, what is to be said to Mr. Harrison''s remarkable deliverance"On the future of agnosticism"? |
15905 | And what is historical truth but that of which the evidence bears strict scientific investigation? |
15905 | And what is the state of things we find disclosed? |
15905 | And what made the Christian world? |
15905 | And what was the exact nature of the advice given? |
15905 | And when the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? |
15905 | And, finally, how is this account to be reconciled with those in the first and third gospels-- which, as we have seen, disagree with one another? |
15905 | Are the authors of the versions in the second and third gospels really independent witnesses? |
15905 | Are there then any Christians who say that they know nothing about the unseen world and the future? |
15905 | Are there, then, any"conclusions"that are not"purely mental"? |
15905 | Are we going back to the days of the Judges, when wealthy Micah set up his private ephod, teraphim, and Levite? |
15905 | Are we to accept the Jesus of the second, or the Jesus of the fourth Gospel, as the true Jesus? |
15905 | But if the primitive Nazarenes of whom the Acts speak were orthodox Jews, what sort of probability can there be that Jesus was anything else? |
15905 | But is it true? |
15905 | But to how much does this so- called claim amount? |
15905 | But what conceivable motive could"Mark"have for omitting it? |
15905 | But what is the evidence in this case? |
15905 | But why all this more recent coil about the Gadarene swine and the like? |
15905 | But why should a man be expected to call himself a"miscreant"or an"infidel"? |
15905 | But will any one tell me that death is"necessary"? |
15905 | By whose authority is the signification of that term defined? |

15905 | Cosmas and Damianus? |
15905 | Did Peter then omit to mention these matters? |
15905 | Did he really fail to speak of the great position in the Church solemnly assigned to him by Jesus? |
15905 | Did he think it, at any subsequent time, worth while"to confer with flesh and blood,"or, in modern phrase, to re- examine the facts for himself? |
15905 | Did the fact testified by the oldest authority extant, that the first appearance of the risen Jesus was to himself seem not worth mentioning? |
15905 | Do you pretend that these poor animals got in your way, years and years after the"Mosaic"fences were down, at any rate so far as you are concerned? |
15905 | Does he hold by the one evangelist''s story, or by that of the two evangelists? |
15905 | Does he really mean to suggest that agnostics have a logic peculiar to themselves? |

15905 | How can he have founded the universal religion which was not heard of till twenty years after his death? |
15905 | I am sorry to trouble him further, but what does he mean by"it"? |
15905 | I ask any candid and impartial judge, Is that attacking anybody or anything? |
15905 | I rejoice to think now of the( then) Bishop''s cordial hail the first time we met after our little skirmish,"Well, is it to be peace or war?" |
15905 | If God did not walk in the Garden of Eden, how can we be assured that he spoke from Sinai? |
15905 | If early views of religion and morality had not been imperfect, where had been the development? |
15905 | If it is not historically true that such and such things happened in Palestine eighteen centuries ago, what becomes of Christianity? |
15905 | If such materials were known to"Mark,"what imaginable reason could he have for not using them? |
15905 | If symbolical visions and mythical creations had found no place in the early Oriental expression of Divine truth, where had been the development? |
15905 | If the latter is to be accepted, or rejected, by private judgment, why not the former? |
15905 | If the story of the Fall is not the true record of an historical occurrence, what becomes of Pauline theology? |
15905 | If, he says, there are texts which seem to show that Jesus contemplated the evangelisation of the heathen:... Did not the Apostles hear our Lord? |
15905 | In one''s zeal much of the old gets broken to pieces; but has one made ready something new, fit to be set in the place of the old? |
15905 | Is he the kindly, peaceful Christ depicted in the Catacombs? |
15905 | Is it contained in the so- called Apostle''s Creed? |
15905 | Is it not certain that the Apostles did not gather this truth from His teaching? |
15905 | Is it that contained in the Nicene and the Athanasian Creeds? |
15905 | Is such a thing even conceivable? |
15905 | Is there a Social Science? |
15905 | Is there"no relation to things social"in"mental conclusions"which affect men''s whole conception of life? |

15905 | Might not there, however, be a suspension of a lower law by the intervention of a higher? |
15905 | Much astonished at this remark from a person who was supposed not to have seen the relics, Eginhard asked him how he knew that? |
15905 | Now what is a Christian? |
15905 | On what grounds can a reasonable man be asked to believe any more? |
15905 | Or can he be rightly represented by the bleeding ascetic, broken down by physical pain, of too many mediæval pictures? |
15905 | Really? |
15905 | So, if I am asked to call myself an"infidel,"I reply: To what doctrine do you ask me to be faithful? |
15905 | Still more, on the first day, when it is nothing but a flat cellular disk? |
15905 | The plain answer to this question is, Why should anybody be called upon to say how he knows that which he does not know? |
15905 | The preacher asks,"Might not there be a suspension of a lower law by the intervention of a higher?" |
15905 | The question for me is purely one of evidence: is the evidence adequate to bear out the theory, or is it not? |

15905 | Was Augustine heretical when he denied the actual historical truth of the record of the Creation? |
15905 | Was not the arch- humanist, Erasmus, fautor- in- chief of the Reformation, until he got frightened and basely deserted it? |
15905 | Was not the name of"Christian"first used to denote the converts to the doctrine promulgated by Paul and Barnabas at Antioch? |
15905 | Was not their chief,"James, the brother of the Lord,"reverenced alike by Sadducee, Pharisee, and Nazarene? |
15905 | Was that prince of agnostics, David Hume, particularly imbued with physical science? |
15905 | Were Gentile converts bound to obey the Law or not? |
15905 | Were none others current in the Roman communities, at the time"Mark"wrote, supposing he wrote in Rome? |
15905 | Were these all that existed in the primitive threefold tradition? |
15905 | What do we find when the accounts of the events in question, contained in the three Synoptic gospels, are compared together? |
15905 | What is the"entire question"which"arises"in a"narrowed form"upon"secular testimony"? |
15905 | What is to hinder our supposing that the organic creation is also a result of natural laws which are in like manner an expression of His will? |

15905 | and what was_ their_ impression from what they heard? |
15905 | or was he ready to accept anything that fitted in with his preconceived ideas? |
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? |
9103 | What was it that made him glorious? |
9103 | What was there in such a child to love? |
9103 | What wonder then that one of the records should say of them all, that they saw two angels? |
9103 | What works, then? |
9103 | What, then, was in our Lord''s thoughts? |
9103 | When did he ever quench the smoking flax? |
9103 | Whence I came and whither I go are dark: how can I live in peace without the God who ordered it thus? |
9103 | Whence more fittingly might food come than from the hands of such an elder brother? |
9103 | Where, O disciples, are your children and your dogs now? |
9103 | Where, then, is the healing of the Father? |
9103 | Where, when, or how the inner spiritual light passes into or generates outward physical light, who can tell? |
9103 | Which then of those present did he address thus? |
9103 | Who but invalids need like miracles wrought in them? |
9103 | Who less fastidious over the painful working of the laws of his own world? |
9103 | Who so unready to impute the shame it could not help? |
9103 | Why are we left in such ignorance? |
9103 | Why do you want always to_ see_? |
9103 | Why does not the Evangelist go on to give us some hint of what he said? |
9103 | Why might not health from the fountain of health flow then into the empty channel of the woman''s weakness? |
9103 | Why might not the Lord, consistently with his help and his healing, do that in one instance which his Father is doing every day? |
9103 | Why not go on like a brave man to meet your fate, careless of what that fate may be?" |
9103 | Why not let it appear what it is, and prevent us from forming false judgments of it? |
9103 | Why not-- if only to keep us from petrifying an imperfect notion, and calling it an_ Idea_? |
9103 | Why say it of me_? |
9103 | Why should I not speculate in the only direction in which things to me worthy of speculation appear likely to lie? |
9103 | Why should he not know where the fishes were? |
9103 | Why should he send a sigh, like a David''s dove, to carry the thought of his heart to his Father? |
9103 | Why should his perfect will be limited by our understanding of that will? |
9103 | Why should it not show for itself and its kind that they were utterly his? |
9103 | Why should not that will be potent as impulse in them? |
9103 | Why was this miracle needful? |
9103 | Why, then, this trouble in our Lord''s heart? |
9103 | Without such a hope, how could they have endured the existence they had? |
9103 | Would this man ever need further proof that there was indeed a God of men? |
9103 | Yea,_ can_ there be statelier and fairer? |
9103 | _ Did you ever say of them it was by Beelzebub? |
9103 | _ Everything_: the human was there, else whence the torture of that which was not human? |
9103 | _ No need_ did I say? |

9103 | alone-- where is his truth? |
9103 | and so plunge his hands in his pockets and lay gold upon the bare table? |
9103 | and what was in his mother''s thoughts to call forth his words? |
9103 | he should reply,"Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?" |
9103 | here are ten lepers cleansed: where are the nine? |
9103 | if not communion with the Father of his spirit? |
9103 | in what case would the generations of men find themselves? |
9103 | or even make them come at his will? |
9103 | was not their humanity common to them? |
9103 | wast thou more favoured than other mothers? |
9103 | whence came those their imaginations? |
9103 | whence the pathos of those eyes, hardly up to the dog''s in intelligence, yet omnipotent over the father''s heart? |
37233 | ( 1) And, after a few words, he proceeds:What then? |
37233 | ( 1) Which of these accounts are we to believe? 37233 ( 2) 1 Can the author of the Apocalypse, or Paul, ever have heard of the raising of Lazarus? |
37233 | ( 2) As one condition is here mentioned, why not the others, had any been actually imposed? 37233 ( 2) Can this be considered a"very circumstantial account"? |
37233 | ( 3) What was the use of the angel''s message since Jesus himself immediately after appears and delivers the very same instructions in person? 37233 Am I not an Apostle? |
37233 | Am I not free? 37233 Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?" |
37233 | Truly the signs of the apostle were wrought,but how wrought? |
37233 | What then is the advantage of the Jew? 37233 & c. Did all the multitude say this? 37233 ( 1) If the introduction of the angel be legendary, must not also his words be so? 37233 ( 1) Is it not palpable that the whole story is legendary? 37233 ( 1) What title will adequately represent the contents of the book? 37233 ( 2) Are we to regard the mention of these doubts as aninestimable proof of the candour of the Evangelists"? |
37233 | ( 3) Are we to accept it as such? |
37233 | ( 3) How, we might ask, could it be known to the writer that all who sat at the Council saw this? |
37233 | ( 3) Now, how came this doxology to be placed at all at the end of chapter xiv.? |
37233 | ( 3) Supposing that the use of Acts be held to be thus indicated, what does this prove? |
37233 | ( 3) What Scriptures, however, are fulfilled? |
37233 | ):"But the other answering rebuked him and said: Dost thou not even fear God seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
37233 | 1 in any way justify or prepare(3) the way for the{ 45} sudden and unexplained introduction of the first person in the sixteenth chapter? |
37233 | 1),"who bewitched you?" |
37233 | 10"... to another kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues;"and again, v. 30:"do all speak with tongues? |
37233 | 1:"Eli( or Mk., Eloi), Eli, lema sabacthani? |
37233 | 30. have all gifts of healings[------]? |
37233 | 30? |
37233 | 30? |
37233 | 5:"Is it so that there is not even one wise man among you who shall be able to discern[------] between his brethren?" |
37233 | 6):"... What shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation or in knowledge[------], or in prophecy, or in teaching?" |
37233 | 7f:"And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? |
37233 | 9, Paul says:"So likewise ye, unless ye utter by the tongue[------] words{ 382} easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? |
37233 | Am I not an Apostle? |
37233 | And I said: Who art thou, Lord? |
37233 | And as they were afraid, and bowed their faces to the earth, they said unto them: Why seek ye the living among the dead? |
37233 | And he said, Who art thou, Lord? |
37233 | And how hear we every man in our own{ 375} language wherein we were born?" |
37233 | And what was the main difference between the persecutor and the persecuted? |
37233 | And when we all fell to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
37233 | And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them: Have ye here any food? |
37233 | Are all apostles? |
37233 | Are they Abraham''s seed? |
37233 | Are they Abraham''s seed? |
37233 | Are they Israelites? |
37233 | Are they Israelites? |
37233 | Are they ministers of Christ? |
37233 | Are we to assume that these things were really said? |
37233 | Are we to regard the Transfiguration as a subjective vision? |
37233 | Are we to suppose that an opportunity to bestow the Holy Spirit was selected when one of the Apostles was not present? |
37233 | Are we to suppose that the Apostle took no trouble to convince himself of the facts before he began to persecute? |
37233 | Believing Jesus to have been the Messiah, how could they interpret his death on the cross? |
37233 | Besides, what evidence is there that even a single indifferent person found the sepulchre empty? |
37233 | But agreeing that the Hebrew is erroneously rendered,(2) the only pertinent question is: by whom was the error in question committed? |
37233 | But can this argument bear any scrutiny by the light of Paul''s own writings? |
37233 | But if he was supplicating for those who stoned him, how much more for the brethren? |
37233 | But in what does the personal edification of the individual consist? |
37233 | By whom were these letters written? |
37233 | Can Truth by any means be made less true? |
37233 | Can any one doubt that this was nearly akin to the state of ecstatic trance in which he spoke with tongues more than all the Corinthians? |
37233 | Can any unprejudiced critic deny that the ideas in the speeches we are considering are also substantially the same? |
37233 | Can it be maintained that there are comparative degrees in salvation? |
37233 | Can reality be melted into thin air? |
37233 | Can the Acts of the Apostles, in short, be considered a sober and veracious history of so important and interesting an epoch of the christian Church? |
37233 | Can the belief of such men, in such an age, establish the reality of a phenomenon which contradicts universal experience? |
37233 | Can there be any doubt that the whole episode is legendary? |
37233 | Can we imagine that this Spirit can actually have prompted many people to speak at one and the same time to the utter disturbance of order? |
37233 | Did Paul intentionally omit all mention of the appearances to the women, or did he not know of them? |
37233 | Did any two receive precisely the same impressions? |
37233 | Did he ascend to heaven after each appearance? |
37233 | Did he depart like other men? |
37233 | Did he not then know that Jesus had appeared to Paul on the way? |
37233 | Did he vanish suddenly? |
37233 | Did he vanish suddenly? |
37233 | Did she not inquire why he did not join the brethren? |
37233 | Did the 500 originally think anything of the kind? |
37233 | Did they die again? |
37233 | Do we acquire any additional assurance as to the reality of the angels and the historical truth of their intervention from this narrative? |
37233 | Do we not get an instructive insight into the nature of the other Charismata from this suggestive fact? |
37233 | Does Paul himself ascribe his conversion to Christianity to the fact of his having seen Jesus? |
37233 | Does any one suppose that Paul,"whether in the body or out of the body,"was ever actually caught up into"the third heaven,"wherever that may be? |
37233 | Does he refer to the Christian community of Jerusalem, or to the Apostles themselves? |
37233 | Does not such sarcasm as the following seem extremely indecorous when criticising a result produced directly by the Holy Spirit? |
37233 | Does this, however, guarantee the truth of the reports or inferences of those who informed the Apostle? |
37233 | Even if this were so, it could not do away with the actual irony of the expressions; but do the facts support such a statement? |
37233 | Finally we might ask: What became of these saints raised from the dead? |
37233 | For whereas there is among you envying and strife; are ye not carnal?" |
37233 | For[------] what is there wherein ye were inferior to the other Churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you?" |
37233 | From whom did he get it? |
37233 | Further on, the writer adds more of the same kind, v. 12, 13:"And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another: What may this mean? |
37233 | Had his normal custom been to live like the Gentiles, how is it possible that he could, on this occasion only, have feared those of the circumcision? |
37233 | Hath any man been called in uncircumcision? |
37233 | Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?" |
37233 | He does not pretend to teach them from his own knowledge, and the question naturally arises: From whom did he"receive"them? |
37233 | He was in the confidence of the high priests it seems, can he ever have heard the slightest doubt from them on the subject? |
37233 | How again did they know that the hundred and twenty or more brethren were Galilaean? |
37233 | How can I declare stocks and stones to be gods?... |
37233 | How could Paul use the expression"by the tongue"if he meant a foreign language in v. 2 and elsewhere? |
37233 | How could he argue in such a way with the Lord? |
37233 | How could the announcement of that event by the angels to the women seem to them as an idle tale, which they did not believe? |
37233 | How could this be said if[------] meant merely speaking a foreign language? |
37233 | How did Ananias know that Paul had authority from the chief priests to arrest any one? |
37233 | How did he get that information? |
37233 | How did he who spoke with a tongue edify himself? |
37233 | How did the multitude so rapidly know of what was passing in a private house? |
37233 | How does this accord with the whole tone of the account in the Acts? |
37233 | How often are these inferences correct? |
37233 | How then, we may inquire, could two accounts of the same event differ so fundamentally? |
37233 | How, and upon what principle, were these singular conditions selected? |
37233 | I ask, therefore, for what reason ye sent for me?" |
37233 | I)r. Farrar, somewhat pertinently, asks:"Why did they( the disciples) not go to Galilee immediately on receiving our Lord''s message? |
37233 | If Paul preached the same Gospel as the rest, what necessity could there have been for communicating it at all? |
37233 | If Paul says:"Am I not an apostle? |
37233 | If Pilate had already given the order to break the legs, how is it possible he could have marvelled, or acted as he is described in Mark to have done? |
37233 | If he was the Messiah could he thus die? |
37233 | If miraculous powers of healing existed, why were they not exerted in this case? |
37233 | If the Gospel be a power of God unto salvation"to every one that believeth"[------], in what manner can it possibly be so"to the Jew first"? |
37233 | If they were exerted and failed for special reasons, why are these not mentioned? |
37233 | If this were the case, our information would be further reduced; but supposing that the same Luke is referred to, what does our information amount to? |
37233 | If we suppose it to refer to the community of Jerusalem, taking thus the more favourable construction, how would this affect the question? |
37233 | In addressing God in some unintelligible jargon, in the utterance of which his understanding has no part? |
37233 | In all this, however, is there anything miraculous? |
37233 | In employing language, which he does not comprehend, in private prayer and praise? |
37233 | In that case, bow can it be supposed that he ever went at all up to Jerusalem to the Apostles and elders about this question? |
37233 | In v. 28 he again uses the expression[------], and in a following verse he inquires:"do all speak with tongues"[------](1)"do all interpret"[------]? |
37233 | In what does this opposition consist? |
37233 | In what language must we suppose that the Epistle was originally written? |
37233 | Is it conceivable that he would not relate the circumstance that Jesus breathed upon them, and endowed them with the Holy Ghost? |
37233 | Is it conceivable that, if such an episode had ever really occurred, the Apostle Paul would not have referred to it upon this occasion? |
37233 | Is it not an extraordinary thing that Paul never mentions Ananias in any of his letters, nor in any way refers to these miracles? |
37233 | Is it not reasonable to suppose that they did not form part of his copy? |
37233 | Is it permissible to suppose that the Holy Spirit could inspire speech with tongues at an unfitting time? |
37233 | Is it possible that he should, to such an audience, have translated the word Acheldamach? |
37233 | Is it possible that the vision of the 500, for instance, had escaped the maturing influence of time? |
37233 | Is it possible to suppose that Paul really indicated by this expression a distinct order of"miracles"properly so called? |
37233 | Is it probable that Jesus appeared twice upon the same evening to the eleven disciples? |
37233 | Is not such a gift of tongues more like the confusion of tongues in Babel(1){ 389} than a christian Charisma? |
37233 | Is there any appreciable trace of the originality of Paul in his discourses? |
37233 | Is this possible? |
37233 | Jesus saith unto her: Woman, why weepest thou? |
37233 | May we not ask what was the use, in this narrative, of the removal of the stone at all? |
37233 | Must we then understand that the dogmas of all religions which have been established must have been objective truths? |
37233 | Need we argue that the earthquake(1) is as mythical as the resurrection of the saints? |
37233 | Now the first thought which presents itself is: How can a gift which is due to the direct working of the Holy Spirit possibly be abused? |
37233 | Now what was the actual operation of this singular miraculous gift, and its utility whether as regards the community or the gifted individual? |
37233 | Now why all this mystery? |
37233 | Now, therefore, why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? |
37233 | On closer examination, one of the first questions which arises is: how could such a speech have been reported? |
37233 | On the other hand, can we suppose that the fourth Evangelist would have ignored the walk to Bethany and the solemn parting there? |
37233 | One might ask, indeed, why such an angelic interposition should have taken place? |
37233 | Or did they also"ascend into Heaven? |
37233 | Or is not this the writer ascribing, according to his view, probable sentiments to them? |
37233 | Or must we conclude that the sayings are simply the creation of later tradition? |
37233 | Paul, therefore, in saying:"Why compellest thou[------] the Gentiles to adopt the customs of the Jews? |
37233 | Reference is frequently made to the passage in the so- called Epistle of James as an illustration of this, v. 14:"Is any sick among you? |
37233 | So far, is there and utility in the miracle? |
37233 | Sun and moon are made for us: how, therefore, shall I worship my own servants? |
37233 | The high priest asks:"Are these things so? |
37233 | The high- priest asks him: Are these things so? |
37233 | The question is-- does internal evidence confirm or contradict this tradition? |
37233 | The question is: Does the Apocalypse contain any reference to the Apostle Paul, or throw light upon the relations between him and the elder Apostles? |
37233 | The question, therefore, arises: Was the appearance to Paul of the same character as the former? |
37233 | Then answered Peter: Can any one forbid the water that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? |
37233 | Then are we to suppose that the chief priests and council believed this story of the earthquake and angel, and yet acted in this way? |
37233 | Then why not equally so the appearances of Jesus after his passion? |
37233 | They say unto her: Woman, why weepest thou? |
37233 | Verse 11,[------] Acts 1? |
37233 | Was Thomas excluded? |
37233 | Was he thus punished for his unbelief? |
37233 | Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory? |
37233 | Was it not needful that the Christ( Messiah) should suffer these things and enter into his glory? |
37233 | What amount of evidence would be required before such a statement could be pronounced sufficiently attested? |
37233 | What became of Jesus, for instance? |
37233 | What could be the object of such a resurrection? |
37233 | What do we really know of the phenomena supposed to have characterized the Apostolic age, and which were later, and are now, described as miraculous? |
37233 | What doubt that by any means he might be running, or had run, in vain? |
37233 | What evidence could be regarded as sufficient to establish the reality of such supposed occurrences? |
37233 | What evidence is there that Jesus was seen, or supposed to have been seen, on the third day? |
37233 | What impression did the individuals receive? |
37233 | What is such belief worth? |
37233 | What is the meaning of such a limitation? |
37233 | What is the value of this evidence? |
37233 | What kind of evidence then are we permitted decorously to require upon so momentous a subject? |
37233 | What occurred in the interval between the burial and the supposed apparition? |
37233 | What then are these Charismata? |
37233 | What then does Paul himself tell us of the circumstances under which he saw Jesus? |
37233 | What was it the 500 really saw? |
37233 | What was the private utility or advantage of the supernatural gift? |
37233 | What weight can we, then, attach to the representation in the Acts of the Apostles of the conversion of Paul? |
37233 | What were the"Scriptures,"according to which"Christ died for our sins,"and"has been raised the third day?" |
37233 | When Paul says he went up to Jerusalem and communicated"to them"his Gospel, but privately[------], whom does he mean to indicate by the[------]? |
37233 | When he has commenced his own public ministry, Jesus is represented as asking his disciples:--"Who do men say that I am?" |
37233 | Where could so many as 500 disciples have been collected at one time? |
37233 | Where did he get his information regarding the 500 brethren at once? |
37233 | Where, however, are the consequences of this marvellous recognition of the Gentiles? |
37233 | Whose fault is it that two and two do make four and not five? |
37233 | Whose folly is it that it should be more agreeable to think that two and two make five than to know that they only make four? |
37233 | Why did he not consort as before with his disciples? |
37233 | Why should we suppose that which we can not compare more accurate? |
37233 | Why, we may inquire, did Jesus not appear to his{ 550} enemies as well as to his friends? |
37233 | Would anyone believe the affirmation that Alfred the Great, for instance, did not die at all? |
37233 | Would it have been the view of anyone else if it were not that, so far as any external trace of the decree is concerned, it is an absolute myth? |
37233 | and that he who supplies the Spirit"and worketh powers"in them does so? |
37233 | and that this is a necessary inference from their wide adoption? |
37233 | are all powers[------]? |
37233 | are all prophets? |
37233 | are all teachers? |
37233 | are we better? |
37233 | do all interpret?" |
37233 | do all interpret[------]?" |
37233 | do all speak with tongues[------]? |
37233 | have I not seen Jesus our Lord? |
37233 | have I not seen Jesus our Lord?" |
37233 | have we not rather a paraphrase of the words in the Epistle to the Galatians? |
37233 | he continues:"Are ye not my work in the Lord? |
37233 | he indignantly exclaims,"have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? |
37233 | or am I seeking to please men? |
37233 | or despise ye the Church of God?" |
37233 | or did he bid Mary farewell, and leave her like one in the flesh? |
37233 | or did he remain on earth? |
37233 | or doubt that this was simply one of the pious hallucinations which visit those who are in such a state? |
37233 | or that of the Eleven? |
37233 | or the injunction to remain in Jerusalem? |
37233 | or what the profit of circumcision?" |
37233 | that is to say: My God, my God, why didst thou forsake me?" |
37233 | whither he was going? |
37233 | whom seekest thou? |
37233 | why make"as though he would go further?" |
37233 | why pretend ignorance? |
37233 | why were their eyes holden that they should not know him? |
