26397And when the poet asks,--"Ah, what will our children be, The men of a hundred thousand, a million summers away?"
26397But how is miracle to be differentiated from other providential dealings of God?
26397But 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?
26397Does it require acceptance of these, as well as of its teachings?
26397FOOTNOTES:[ 35]"The Church asks, and it is entitled to ask the critic: Do you believe in the Incarnation and Resurrection of Jesus Christ?...
26397Is it, as they have been told, dependent for its attestation on signs and wonders occurring in the sphere of the senses?
26397Is not this less improbable than that the natural order of the universe should have been set aside?"

26397These alternatives are before us: Is the maximum or the minimum meaning to be assigned to the crucial word"dead"?
26397What, indeed, but a revised and true in place of a mistaken conception of the term_ Supernatural_?
26397Why may not the resuscitations in Christ''s time possibly have been similar cases?
26397Will 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?
20336Arra, 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?"

20336How old is she?
20336Is it possible that you dislike it?
20336Is not the above a businesslike statement? 20336 May I turn down the light?"
20336Nothing to me that you hate me and love another?
20336Sir,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?"
20336The truth of-- who dared to doubt my uncle''s word? 20336 Then you do not love him?"
20336Well, Zeno,said my uncle:"what do you think of Father Hickey now?"

20336What do you want at this hour?
20336When do most people come? 20336 Who are you?"
20336Why will you persist in treating me like a child, uncle? 20336 Why-- damn everything-- do you suppose we were enjoying it?"

20336Did I say you had no manners?
20336Do you defy me?"
20336Do you know your way back to your hotel?"
20336Had I not been mad to expect it?
20336Have you any more questions to ask about her?"

20336Or is it that you grudge me the happiness I have found here?
20336What is her name?"
20336What says Reverend Hickey of the apparitions?"

20336You have heard of the miracles at Knock?"
20336You will excuse me?"
20336do you stay here all night by yourself?"
20336will you sit down and listen to me?"
13433But, 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?
13433May we not ventureto render it"the well of Sychar"?
134331 as the beginning?
134332,''They were entrusted with the oracles of God,''can he mean anything else but the Old Testament Scriptures, including the historical books?"
1343321_ sq._)?
1343334),''O Jerusalem, Jerusalem..._ how often_ would I have gathered thy children together''?
1343360, 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?
13433And what is the value of any evidence emanating from the Ignatian Epistles and martyrologies?
13433Besides, if such a governor did pronounce so severe a sentence, why did he not execute it in Antioch?
13433But I must ask upon what ground he limits my remark to those who absolutely admit the genuineness?
13433But 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?"
13433But what does this amount to?
13433But what more natural than this presentiment, when persecution was raging around him and fire was a common instrument of death?
13433But what purpose was served by thus importing into his notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references?
13433Can Truth by any means be made less true?
13433Can our second Gospel be considered a work composed"without recording in order what was either said or done by Christ"?
13433Can reality be melted into thin air?
13433Can we suppose that he meant anything else but the Old Testament Scriptures by this expression?
13433Could there be more palpable evidence of the frivolous and superficial character of his objections?
13433Did Eusebius intend to point out mere quotations of the books which he considered undisputed?
13433If this doubt exist, however, of what value can the passage from Papias be as evidence?
13433If this point be, for the sake of argument, set aside, what is the position?
13433Is it not perfectly clear that no place of the name of Sychar can be reasonably identified?
13433Now what has been the result of this minute and prejudiced attack upon my notes?
13433Shall we one day discover that Victor was equally right about the reading_ Diapente_?
13433Supposing that the use of Acts be held to be thus indicated, what does this prove?
13433What means could there be of correcting it and positively ascertaining the truth?
13433Whence this terrible blow but from the wrath of the Gods, who must be appeased by unusual sacrifices?
13433Where, then, did he get his information?
13433Whose fault is it that two and two do make four and not five?
13433Whose 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?
13433Why does he not also state that I distinctly refer to Tischendorf''s denial that Hegesippus was opposed to Paul?
13433Why send the prisoner to Rome?
13433Why should Ignatius have been so exceptionally treated?
13433Why 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?
13433and the genealogies?
13433depend more on the narrative of God''s dealings than His words?
13433quid 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?
3723214, where Jesus bids the lepers conform to the requirements of the law?
3723217:{1}"Why askest thou me concerning good?
3723218 ff, in which the keeping of the law is made essential to life?
3723218,(2) the[------] is retained, and the question of the ruler is:"Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
372322,(5){ 112} where the Pharisees say of him:"This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them?"
3723224:(2)"Do ye not therefore err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?"
3723225,(5)"so that the question of the lawyer simply ran:{ 113}"Master, what shall I do to inherit life?"
3723229, in reply to the question,"Which is the first Commandment of all?
3723229, where the answer is given to the rich man pleading for his relatives:"They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them"?
372322?
372323 So Credner, Ewald, Hitzig, Lachmann,(?)
3723234, the passage reads:"and if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye?"
372324 B. Bauer, Hitzig(?)
3723246:(4)"But why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
372327, 9:"I am the door,"the question:"What is the door of Jesus?"
37232And he said unto them: What would ye that I should do for you?
37232And how can we believe thy story that he was seen by thee?
37232And how could he have been seen by thee when thy thoughts are contrary to his teaching?
37232And if thou sayest:''It is possible,''then wherefore did the Teacher remain and discourse for a whole year to us who were awake?
37232And in what way?
37232And when you know this, with what{ 366} gladness, think you, you will be filled?
37232But Jesus said to them: Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink the cup that I drink?
37232But can any one through a vision be made wise to teach?
37232But he answered and said unto them: Who are my mother and brethren?
37232By whom was it written?
37232For he will send him to judge, and who shall abide his presence?
37232God calls out: Adam, where art thou?
37232He also cites Melito of Sardis: why does he not refer to Apollinaris of Hierapolis?
37232He, therefore, explains the question of the rulers:"What is the door of Jesus?"
37232If 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?
37232If moreover the translator{ 245} was so ignorant of Latin, can we trust his translation?
37232In any case, what could such a statement as this do towards establishing the Apostolic origin and credibility of the fourth Gospel?
37232Is it possible that he could have had nothing interesting to tell about a work presenting so many striking and distinctive features?
37232It is Judas Iscariot, and not the disciples, who says:"Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?"
37232Now, was it, as one of men might reason, for tyranny and to cause fear and consternation?
37232Or how will you love him, who beforehand so loved you?
37232The question therefore is: Are these data sufficiently ample and trustworthy for a decisive judgment{ 91} from internal evidence?
37232The words:"Or how will you love him who so beforehand loved you?"
37232There is evidently no intention on the part of the Scribes and Pharisees here to ridicule, in asking:"What is the door of Jesus?"
37232To the all- important question:"How old is Heracleon?"
37232To the inquiry:"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
37232Upon what principle of dogmatic interest, then, can Marcion have erased the one while he retained the other?
37232We again, however, come to the question: Who really made the quotations which Hippolytus introduces so indefinitely?
37232When did Irenæus, however, really write his work against Heresies?
37232Why single these out and seem to exclude the sellers of sheep and oxen?
37232[------]''And why is the gate new, Lord?''
37232and what guarantee have we that he has not paraphrased and expanded the original?
37232can he enter a second time into his mothers womb and be born?
37232or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
37232these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?"
37232used in the 2 Why"early"?
37232ye 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?
37231If 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?
3723113,"For I came not to call the righteous but sinners"?
3723141. ff, before them, and does not such a supposition likewise infer the actual authority of Matthew''s Gospel?
37231And what is the value of any evidence emanating from the Ignatian Epistles and martyrologies?
37231And what more shall I say?
37231Are we to believe ignorance and superstition or science and unvarying experience?
37231As Justin introduces them deliberately as quotations, why should they be excluded simply because they are combined with a historical statement?
37231At this starting- point of nature what would a man know of its future course?
37231Because it has not happened before?
37231Because we can not explain its cause?
37231But I must ask upon what ground he limits my remark to those who absolutely admit the genuineness?
37231But how do we know that that communication of what is undiscoverable by human reason is true?
37231But what is there to show the existence of a permanent cause?
37231But what purpose was served by thus importing into his notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references?
37231Can the doctrine of His justification of us and intercession for us, be disjoined from another?...
37231Can the doctrine of our Lord''s Incarnation be disjoined from one physical miracle?
37231Could it with any reason be affirmed that he was acquainted with Matthew and not with Mark?
37231Did Eusebius intend to point out mere quotations of the books which he considered undisputed"?
37231Did they ever really take place?
37231Does the agreement of the quotation with a passage which is equally found in the three Gospels prove the existence of all of them?
37231Does the word Xoyta, however, mean strictly Oracles or discourses alone, or does it include within its fair signification also historical narrative?
37231Dr. Mozley then asks:"What would be the inevitable conclusion of sober reason respecting that person?
37231Had the quotation agreed with our Gospels, would it not have been claimed as a professedly accurate quotation from them?
37231He inquires:"Is the suspension of physical and material laws by a Spiritual Being inconceivable?
37231How can I place any reliance upon it in the other?
37231How can we have a right to declare the induction complete, while facts, supported by credible evidence, present themselves in opposition to it?
37231How, then, according to divines, does it attain any potentiality?
37231If 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?"
37231If this point be, for the sake of argument, set aside, what is the position?
37231In how many more may not the same passage have been found?
37231Is it legitimate to accept its evidence when we please, and reject it when we please?"
37231Is it not, then, a_ petitio principii_ to say, that the fact ought to be disbelieved because the induction to it is complete?
37231Is 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?
37231Jesus replies,"In what way have I sinned that I should go and be baptized by him?
37231Justin likewise mentions the cry of Jesus on the Cross,"O God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
37231Mark has the expression:"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary?
37231Moreover, the expression:"What new thing do ye?"
37231Notwithstanding all this persistent and unanimous confirmation, we ask again: What has now become of the belief in demoniacal possession and sorcery?
37231Now what has been the result of this minute and prejudiced attack upon my notes?
37231Now, unless there be an actual order of nature, how can there be any exception to it?
37231Now, what has become of this theory of disease?
37231The 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?
37231We would ask, however, what verification of the death have we in the case of the widow''s son which we have not here?
37231What, then, is the position of the so- called Ignatian Epistles?
37231Whence this terrible blow but from the wrath of the Gods, who must be appeased by unusual sacrifices?
37231Who knows of the miraculous cure of cancer, he continues, in a lady of rank in the same city?
37231Who knows of the next case he mentions in his list?
37231Who would believe, or would be justified in believing, the great facts which constitute its substance on the_ ipse dixit_ of an unaccredited teacher?
37231Why send the prisoner to Rome?
37231Why should Ignatius have been so exceptionally treated?
37231Why should the whole phrase not be equally an interpolation?
37231and Mk.)?
37231and how, except by miracles, could the first teacher be accredited?
37231and if not, how is the Gospel from which it was actually taken to be distinguished?
37231and in thy name cast out devils?
37231and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
37231for 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?
37231or do the fanatical believers who cast themselves under the wheels of the car of Jagganath establish the soundness of their creed?
37231or with Mark and not with Matthew and Luke?
37231or with the third Gospel and{ 281} not with either of the other two?
6367And in what way do you desire to have souls?
6367But of what treasure are you talkingsaid Masse,"at a time when we are in want of many things?"
6367But, Father,said his companion,"are we not going to preach?"
6367But,added he,"for how many years do you ask me for this indulgence?"
6367How is it, then,replied Bartholomew:"is Francis so great a man, that his presence has such an effect?"
6367I?
6367Men of little faith,replied the Saint,"why have you these doubts?
6367My 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?"
6367Oh, how shall I be able to do that,answered Cotolai,"I who am so poor, and who live by my daily labor?"
6367Unfortunate young man,said the Saint,"why do you attempt to show by your eyes what is not in your heart?
6367What my brethrensaid he,"are you still devoid of understanding; and do you not know the will of God?
6367What then,said he,"is devotion grown so cold?
6367What will you give me in payment?
6367What,said he,"do n''t you see our Father, Francis, going up to Heaven?"
6367What,says the man,"shall I leave my plough and lose my time, to serve you?"
6367Why do n''t you answer as I desire you?
6367Why then,continued our Lord,"do you leave God who is the master and rich, to seek man, who is the servant and poor?"
6367A voice forthwith made him this answer:"Francis, what price should be set upon that which shall obtain a kingdom which is above all price?
6367And who can censure a man who is wholly religious, for expressing himself in a manner which is grounded on the first principles of religion?
6367And, after all, what reason has he given me for censuring him?
6367Are the saints not to be imitated in this?
6367As he went away, the Pope asked him:"Whither art thou going, simple man?
6367Because I have appointed you the pastor of this religion which I have established, are you unmindful that I am its principal protector?
6367But is not the garb of St. Francis, which is of ash color, a real purple, which may adorn the dignity of kings and cardinals?
6367But why preach to birds?
6367Could I do less than devote myself wholly to his Order, I, who owe to him all that I have, and all that I am?
6367Do they imagine that they understand the Scriptures better than the holy doctors?
6367Do they not cloak their disobedience by a respectful silence, always ill kept and finally broken through by open rebellion?
6367Does not the cord of St. Francis deserve to gird even royal purple?
6367Finally, as to the falsehood: What risk does the pious multitude run, in believing the miracles of the Lives of the Saints?
6367For, in what do these principles consist?
6367From whence do these come, and from whence did those others arise?"
6367Have you heard, have you, yourself, heard the voice which came forth from the cloud, and which spoke so audibly?
6367He then again asked which of them among those who were there present he should take?
6367He 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?"
6367He 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?"
6367How does it happen that they do not decorate with all possible magnificence this Peter, on whom Jesus Christ has founded His Church?"
6367How 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?
6367If 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?"
6367If a king promised to give a kingdom to one of his subjects, would not that person have great reason to rejoice?
6367If our age deems itself wiser, what reason has it for not doing similar justice?
6367Is 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?
6367Is there anything which a servant of the Lord should more sedulously avoid?"
6367Is there anything which can soften minds and obtain favors sooner than this virtue?
6367Is there not the greatest rashness in including such men as these in one sweeping condemnation?
6367It is in this sense that St. Paul said:"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
6367May we not, by the grace of God, which assuredly will not be wanting, practice those virtues by which they became saints?
6367Moreover, your son is one of God''s creatures; and if God has destined him for Himself, who shall dare to resist His will?
6367Ought not all Christians to have such feelings in their illnesses and other afflictions?
6367Shall tribulation, or distress, or famine, or nakedness, or persecution, or the sword?"
6367Such grand and superb palaces, are they for Friars Minor?
6367The Sultan Meledin asked him who sent them, and for what purpose they came?
6367The cure was much displeased at this, and complained to St. Francis, who asked him, how much he thought he had lost?
6367The young man answered courageously:"My Father, are not you and yours of the same nature as I am, and formed of the same earth?
6367Then Francis said somewhat angrily:"Why have you dared to transgress the rule of obedience, and to answer so often differently to what I desired?"
6367Then 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?
6367Then he reproached them mildly in these words:"Why did you fly, you pusillanimous men, and of little faith?
6367This order vexed Elias, and he came to the door in great irritation, asking what he was wanted for?
6367To what a height of perfection did not God propose to raise this His faithful Servant?
6367To whom do you consign us, in the desolate state in which we are?
6367What 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?
6367What certitude hast thou of what thou hast just been granted?"
6367What even can be thought of their most heroic victims?
6367What have I done, therefore, in clothing myself with this garment?
6367What is it that a mother has not a right to require from us, who has given two of her sons to the religious?"
6367What is there more honorable than teaching others from the Evangelical pulpit?
6367What 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?
6367What opinion will be formed of their acts?
6367What right have they to limit the words of the Son of God?
6367What shall I say further?
6367What should well- thinking minds desire more than to be employed in defence of the faith, and to combat the enemies of the Church?
6367What, then, did I do that was unseemly,--I whom the Almighty assured of His kingdom?
6367When St. Paul said,"Doth God take care of oxen?"
6367Which of the two do you think best: that I shall give myself to prayer, or that I shall go forth to preach?
6367Which 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?"
6367Who could this charitable purveyor be?
6367Who shall say to Him,''Why dost Thou do thus?''
6367Who will console us?
6367Who will instruct us?
6367Why have you not considered more favorably the merit of obedience?
6367Why, 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?"
6367Will 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?"
6367Will they be deemed more trustworthy in other matters?
6367and who am I, Thy servant, a miserable worm?
6367and whom and I?
6367by what excess of goodness do you come down from heaven into this small and poor chapel?"
6367do you think that God will have mercy on you, after so many crimes which you have committed?"
6367exclaimed Francis,"what is it your pleasure I should do?"
6367or danger?
6367or distress?
6367or famine?
6367or nakedness?
6367or persecution?
6367or the sword?"
6367shall tribulation?
6367will the sages of this age ask; but why did David say what the Church repeats daily in her Divine Office?
15905But what is it that I have been doing? 15905 How do you know that the Lord doeth it?"
15905What 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?)
15905And having made his election, what reasons has he to give for his choice?
15905And 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?
15905And if so, how can agnosticism be the"mere negation of the physicist"?
15905And now, what is to be said to Mr. Harrison''s remarkable deliverance"On the future of agnosticism"?
15905And what is historical truth but that of which the evidence bears strict scientific investigation?
15905And what is the state of things we find disclosed?
15905And what made the Christian world?
15905And what was the exact nature of the advice given?
15905And when the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?
15905And, 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?
15905Are the authors of the versions in the second and third gospels really independent witnesses?
15905Are there then any Christians who say that they know nothing about the unseen world and the future?
15905Are there, then, any"conclusions"that are not"purely mental"?
15905Are we going back to the days of the Judges, when wealthy Micah set up his private ephod, teraphim, and Levite?
15905Are we to accept the Jesus of the second, or the Jesus of the fourth Gospel, as the true Jesus?
15905But if the primitive Nazarenes of whom the Acts speak were orthodox Jews, what sort of probability can there be that Jesus was anything else?
15905But is it true?
15905But to how much does this so- called claim amount?
15905But what conceivable motive could"Mark"have for omitting it?
15905But what is the evidence in this case?
15905But why all this more recent coil about the Gadarene swine and the like?
15905But why should a man be expected to call himself a"miscreant"or an"infidel"?
15905But will any one tell me that death is"necessary"?
15905By whose authority is the signification of that term defined?
15905CONTENTS: What Knowledge is of most Worth?
15905CREATION OR EVOLUTION?
15905Cosmas and Damianus?
15905Did Peter then omit to mention these matters?
15905Did he really fail to speak of the great position in the Church solemnly assigned to him by Jesus?
15905Did 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?
15905Did the fact testified by the oldest authority extant, that the first appearance of the risen Jesus was to himself seem not worth mentioning?
15905Do 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?
15905Does he hold by the one evangelist''s story, or by that of the two evangelists?
15905Does he really mean to suggest that agnostics have a logic peculiar to themselves?
15905For what is the adverse case?
15905Got in my way?
15905Has Nominalism, in any of its modifications, so completely won the day that Realism may be regarded as dead and buried without hope of resurrection?
15905Has any one then yet seen the production of negroes from a white stock, or_ vice versâ_?
15905Has it now a merely antiquarian interest?
15905How can he have founded the universal religion which was not heard of till twenty years after his death?
15905I am sorry to trouble him further, but what does he mean by"it"?
15905I ask any candid and impartial judge, Is that attacking anybody or anything?
15905I 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?"
15905If God did not walk in the Garden of Eden, how can we be assured that he spoke from Sinai?
15905If early views of religion and morality had not been imperfect, where had been the development?
15905If it is not historically true that such and such things happened in Palestine eighteen centuries ago, what becomes of Christianity?
15905If such materials were known to"Mark,"what imaginable reason could he have for not using them?
15905If symbolical visions and mythical creations had found no place in the early Oriental expression of Divine truth, where had been the development?
15905If the latter is to be accepted, or rejected, by private judgment, why not the former?
15905If the story of the Fall is not the true record of an historical occurrence, what becomes of Pauline theology?
15905If, he says, there are texts which seem to show that Jesus contemplated the evangelisation of the heathen:... Did not the Apostles hear our Lord?
15905In 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?
15905Is he the kindly, peaceful Christ depicted in the Catacombs?
15905Is it contained in the so- called Apostle''s Creed?
15905Is it not certain that the Apostles did not gather this truth from His teaching?
15905Is it that contained in the Nicene and the Athanasian Creeds?
15905Is such a thing even conceivable?
15905Is there a Social Science?
15905Is there"no relation to things social"in"mental conclusions"which affect men''s whole conception of life?
15905Melanchthon, Ulrich von Hutten, Beza, were they not all humanists?
15905Might not there, however, be a suspension of a lower law by the intervention of a higher?
15905Much astonished at this remark from a person who was supposed not to have seen the relics, Eginhard asked him how he knew that?
15905Now what is a Christian?
15905On what grounds can a reasonable man be asked to believe any more?
15905Or can he be rightly represented by the bleeding ascetic, broken down by physical pain, of too many mediæval pictures?
15905Really?
15905So, if I am asked to call myself an"infidel,"I reply: To what doctrine do you ask me to be faithful?
15905Still more, on the first day, when it is nothing but a flat cellular disk?
15905The plain answer to this question is, Why should anybody be called upon to say how he knows that which he does not know?
15905The preacher asks,"Might not there be a suspension of a lower law by the intervention of a higher?"
15905The question for me is purely one of evidence: is the evidence adequate to bear out the theory, or is it not?
15905To this the priest,"Whence art thou, then, if these are not thy parents?"
15905WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
15905Was Augustine heretical when he denied the actual historical truth of the record of the Creation?
15905Was not the arch- humanist, Erasmus, fautor- in- chief of the Reformation, until he got frightened and basely deserted it?
15905Was not the name of"Christian"first used to denote the converts to the doctrine promulgated by Paul and Barnabas at Antioch?
15905Was not their chief,"James, the brother of the Lord,"reverenced alike by Sadducee, Pharisee, and Nazarene?
15905Was that prince of agnostics, David Hume, particularly imbued with physical science?
15905Were Gentile converts bound to obey the Law or not?
15905Were none others current in the Roman communities, at the time"Mark"wrote, supposing he wrote in Rome?
15905Were these all that existed in the primitive threefold tradition?
15905What do we find when the accounts of the events in question, contained in the three Synoptic gospels, are compared together?
15905What is the"entire question"which"arises"in a"narrowed form"upon"secular testimony"?
15905What 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?
15905What line of my writing can the Duke of Argyll produce which confounds the organic with the inorganic?
15905What more intrinsic claim has the story of the Exodus than that of the Deluge, to belief?
15905What, then, was that labour of unsurpassed magnitude and excellence and of immortal influence which Newton did perform?
15905Where are the secret conspirators against this tyranny, whom I am supposed to favour, and yet not have the courage to join openly?
15905Who is to gainsay our ecclesiastical authority here?
15905Who shall or can forbid him?
15905Who was it?
15905Why should not your friend"levitate"?
15905Will their brethren follow their just and prudent guidance?
15905Would not an English court of justice speedily teach him better?
15905[ 44] Must we suppose, therefore, that the Apostle to the Gentiles has stated that which is false?
15905and what was_ their_ impression from what they heard?
15905or was he ready to accept anything that fitted in with his preconceived ideas?
9103Believest thou this?
9103But what if this fate_ should_ depend on myself? 9103 By whom do your children cast them out?"
9103He asked him if he saw ought? 9103 How long is it ago since thus hath come unto him?"
9103Is not indifference more contemptible? 9103 Is this the limit of your patience?"
9103Said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
9103Was it not the faith of the others too that had healed them?
9103What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
9103Where have ye laid him?
9103Whether is easier-- to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Rise up and walk?
9103Whom seekest thou?
9103Why could not we cast him out?
9103Why do you think evil in your hearts?
9103Wilt thou be made whole?
9103Woman, what have I to do with thee? 9103 Woman, why weepest thou?"
9103Woman, why weepest thou?
9103_ If thou canst_?
9103--Why this mediating clay?
9103A man may say,"How can I have faith?"
9103Above all, is he content to go on with man and woman and child now, careless of whether the love is a perishable thing?
9103All knew that the Lord had risen indeed: what matter whether some of them saw one or two angels in the tomb?
9103Am I to be careless then?"
9103And at the worst, what was decay to him, who could recall the disuniting atoms under the restored law of imperial life?
9103And if more, why not altogether?
9103And 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?
9103And what is the highest obedience?
9103And what shall he do to whom a son is given whom yet he can not keep?
9103And what wonder?
9103And who will mourn to find this out?
9103And yet-- and yet-- did he never love man or woman or child?
9103Any one of themselves who believed in God and the prophets, might have stood up and said--"Mourners, why make such ado?
9103Are not its forms stately and fair?
9103Are not the most powerful of the rays of light invisible to our vision?
9103As 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?"
9103But had it been as Martha feared, who so tender with feeble flesh as the Son of Man?
9103But 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?
9103But if this nobleman was a faithful man, whence our Lord''s word,"Except ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe"?
9103But once more the question recurs: Why say so often that this and that one''s faith had saved him?
9103But one may say: Why then did he not cure all the sick in Judà ¦ a?
9103But was not the other hand God''s too?--God''s as much as this?
9103But what did our Lord mean by those words--"The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth"?
9103But where, I pray them, lies any field so absolutely its region as the unknown which yet the heart yearns to know?
9103But who can tell what he may have done even for them without their recognizing it save in conscious well- being?
9103But who was he who had thus lifted her up?
9103But why, when occasion appeared, should it not have its place?
9103But why?
9103But, again, what was it in his mother''s look and tone that should work the change in our Lord''s mood?
9103Can it then be very hard to believe that he should alter by a thought any form or appearance of things about us?
9103Could anything be more consistently diabolic?
9103Did she mean to hint what she had not faith enough to ask?
9103Does God, then, make death look what it is not?
9103Experiment itself must follow in the track of sober conjecture; for if we know already, where is the good of experiment?
9103Had it been all a dream?
9103Had not the power of God been always present in that left hand, whose unwithered life had ministered to him all these years?
9103Had not the presence of Judas, then-- perhaps his kiss-- something to do with the discomfiture of these men?
9103Had she not been fit, therefore chosen, to bear him?
9103Have I faith?"
9103Have you never grudged the coming sleep, because you must cease for the time to_ be_ so much as you were before?
9103He 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?
9103How could he show it them?
9103How could they have borne such before He had come?
9103How long shall I suffer you?"
9103How shall I enter the temple of this wonder?
9103How shall faith be born but of the beholding of the faithful?
9103How should the intellect understand its own origin and nature?
9103How should you have faith?
9103I acknowledge a likeness: why might there not be some likeness between what God does and what man invents?
9103I 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?
9103I doubt if he told them anything?
9103I have thought it was the bystanders: but why they?
9103I repeat, all prayer is assuredly heard:--what evil matter is it that it should be answered only in the right time and right way?
9103I think the words should have a point of interrogation after them, to mean,"Is it thus far ye suffer?"
9103If Jesus was the son of the Father, is it hard to believe that he should give men bread and wine?
9103If a man say,"But might not the will of God make my will with the intent of over- riding and enslaving it?"
9103If it be annihilation, why quail before it?
9103If my supposed interlocutor answers,"What then is the good of praying, if it is not to go by what I want?"
9103If so-- and it seems to me probable-- how comes it that St John alone omits the kiss-- St John alone records the recoil?
9103In 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?
9103Is he content that there should be no more of it?
9103Is it any wonder that this Mary should spend three hundred pence on an ointment for the feet of the Raiser of the Dead?
9103Is it he, to whom God has given such power, or is it John, of whom she has also heard?
9103Is it nothing to be told that it will pass away?
9103Is it possible they may have told their friends something which has filtered down to us in any shape?
9103Is it the young man, Jesus, of whom she has heard?
9103Is life not a good with all its pain?
9103Is not that what you would?
9103Is not the wall of partition henceforth destroyed?
9103Is the preference for the one over the other foolish then-- even to the meanest judgment?
9103It is a lovely story that follows, full of marvel, as how should it not be?
9103It is no wonder that when Jesus found him and asked him,"Dost thou believe on the Son of God?"
9103It may be said,"Why all this?
9103It was true he should rise again; but what was that to the present consuming grief?
9103Law is truth: has it a soul of thought, or has it not?
9103Need I, to combat again the vulgar notion that the essence of the miracles lies in their power, dwell upon this miracle further?
9103O Death, where is thy sting?
9103O Grave, where is thy victory?"
9103Ought he not to cleave fast thereto?
9103Ought one to be willing to part with a good?
9103Shall God create that which shall fetter and limit and enslave himself?
9103She was about to grasp him with the eager hands of reverent love: why did he refuse the touch?
9103Should he be paralyzed because we are blind?
9103That look, was it not a look up to his own Father?
9103That one who has once thought should not care to go on to think?
9103That sigh, was it not the unarticulated prayer to the Father of the man who stood beside him?
9103That this glory should perish-- is it no grief?
9103The Lord who had made the Universe-- how_ should_ he show it but as the Healer did?
9103The door of prayer has been open since ever God made man in his own image: why are signs and wonders necessary to your faith?
9103There was no danger then of that diseased self- consciousness which nowadays is always asking,"Have I faith?
9103Thereupon the people questioned amongst themselves saying,"What thing is this?
9103They may have in them the very germ of life and truth; but what is that, if they destroy this Babylon that we have built?
9103To 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?
9103To them, weeping and wailing greatly, after the Eastern fashion, he said when he entered,"Why make ye this ado, and weep?
9103To which of them did he say,"How long shall I be with you?
9103Was 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?
9103Was it not the life of God that inspired his whole frame?
9103Was it not the spirit of the Father in him which brought him, ignorant, fearing, yet vaguely hoping perhaps, to the feet of the Son?
9103Was it the devils, then, that urged the man into the presence of the Lord?
9103Was she not his mother?
9103What better sign of immortality than the raising of the dead could God give?
9103What can this nobleman do but seek the man of whom such wondrous rumours have reached his ears?
9103What did it mean?
9103What did that matter?
9103What does this answer imply?
9103What first of all_ was_ it?
9103What greater honour could he honour their faith withal than grant in their name, unasked, the one mighty boon?
9103What he did say was this--"Woman, what is there common to thee and me?
9103What 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?
9103What in this woman it was that made it right she should bear these bonds for eighteen years, who can tell?
9103What matters it that the dead come not back to us, if we go to them?
9103What matters it, so long as he works as the Father works, and lives as the Father wills?
9103What other word could Jesus address to such than,"Hold thy peace, and come out of him"?
9103What 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?
9103What should make a man''s face shine, if not the presence of the Holy?
9103What then was this his glory?
9103What was it that made him glorious?
9103What was there in such a child to love?
9103What wonder then that one of the records should say of them all, that they saw two angels?
9103What works, then?
9103What, then, was in our Lord''s thoughts?
9103When did he ever quench the smoking flax?
9103Whence I came and whither I go are dark: how can I live in peace without the God who ordered it thus?
9103Whence more fittingly might food come than from the hands of such an elder brother?
9103Where, O disciples, are your children and your dogs now?
9103Where, then, is the healing of the Father?
9103Where, when, or how the inner spiritual light passes into or generates outward physical light, who can tell?
9103Which then of those present did he address thus?
9103Who but invalids need like miracles wrought in them?
9103Who less fastidious over the painful working of the laws of his own world?
9103Who so unready to impute the shame it could not help?
9103Why are we left in such ignorance?
9103Why do you want always to_ see_?
9103Why does not the Evangelist go on to give us some hint of what he said?
9103Why might not health from the fountain of health flow then into the empty channel of the woman''s weakness?
9103Why might not the Lord, consistently with his help and his healing, do that in one instance which his Father is doing every day?
9103Why not go on like a brave man to meet your fate, careless of what that fate may be?"
9103Why not let it appear what it is, and prevent us from forming false judgments of it?
9103Why not-- if only to keep us from petrifying an imperfect notion, and calling it an_ Idea_?
9103Why say it of me_?
9103Why should I not speculate in the only direction in which things to me worthy of speculation appear likely to lie?
9103Why should he not know where the fishes were?
9103Why should he send a sigh, like a David''s dove, to carry the thought of his heart to his Father?
9103Why should his perfect will be limited by our understanding of that will?
9103Why should it not show for itself and its kind that they were utterly his?
9103Why should not that will be potent as impulse in them?
9103Why was this miracle needful?
9103Why, then, this trouble in our Lord''s heart?
9103Without such a hope, how could they have endured the existence they had?
9103Would this man ever need further proof that there was indeed a God of men?
9103Yea,_ 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_ What matters it?_ said I!
9103alone-- where is his truth?
9103and so plunge his hands in his pockets and lay gold upon the bare table?
9103and what was in his mother''s thoughts to call forth his words?
9103he should reply,"Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?"
9103here are ten lepers cleansed: where are the nine?
9103if not communion with the Father of his spirit?
9103in what case would the generations of men find themselves?
9103or even make them come at his will?
9103was not their humanity common to them?
9103wast thou more favoured than other mothers?
9103whence came those their imaginations?
9103whence 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?
37233Am I not free? 37233 Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?"
37233Truly the signs of the apostle were wrought,but how wrought?
37233What 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?
372331 in any way justify or prepare(3) the way for the{ 45} sudden and unexplained introduction of the first person in the sixteenth chapter?
372331),"who bewitched you?"
3723310"... to another kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues;"and again, v. 30:"do all speak with tongues?
372331:"Eli( or Mk., Eloi), Eli, lema sabacthani?
3723330. have all gifts of healings[------]?
3723330?
3723330?
372335:"Is it so that there is not even one wise man among you who shall be able to discern[------] between his brethren?"
372336):"... What shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation or in knowledge[------], or in prophecy, or in teaching?"
372337f:"And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
372339, 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?
37233Am I not an Apostle?
37233And I said: Who art thou, Lord?
37233And as they were afraid, and bowed their faces to the earth, they said unto them: Why seek ye the living among the dead?
37233And he said, Who art thou, Lord?
37233And how hear we every man in our own{ 375} language wherein we were born?"
37233And what was the main difference between the persecutor and the persecuted?
37233And when we all fell to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
37233And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them: Have ye here any food?
37233Are all apostles?
37233Are they Abraham''s seed?
37233Are they Abraham''s seed?
37233Are they Israelites?
37233Are they Israelites?
37233Are they ministers of Christ?
37233Are we to assume that these things were really said?
37233Are we to regard the Transfiguration as a subjective vision?
37233Are we to suppose that an opportunity to bestow the Holy Spirit was selected when one of the Apostles was not present?
37233Are we to suppose that the Apostle took no trouble to convince himself of the facts before he began to persecute?
37233Believing Jesus to have been the Messiah, how could they interpret his death on the cross?
37233Besides, what evidence is there that even a single indifferent person found the sepulchre empty?
37233But agreeing that the Hebrew is erroneously rendered,(2) the only pertinent question is: by whom was the error in question committed?
37233But can this argument bear any scrutiny by the light of Paul''s own writings?
37233But if he was supplicating for those who stoned him, how much more for the brethren?
37233But in what does the personal edification of the individual consist?
37233By whom were these letters written?
37233Can Truth by any means be made less true?
37233Can 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?
37233Can any unprejudiced critic deny that the ideas in the speeches we are considering are also substantially the same?
37233Can it be maintained that there are comparative degrees in salvation?
37233Can reality be melted into thin air?
37233Can 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?
37233Can the belief of such men, in such an age, establish the reality of a phenomenon which contradicts universal experience?
37233Can there be any doubt that the whole episode is legendary?
37233Can 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?
37233Did Paul intentionally omit all mention of the appearances to the women, or did he not know of them?
37233Did any two receive precisely the same impressions?
37233Did he ascend to heaven after each appearance?
37233Did he depart like other men?
37233Did he not then know that Jesus had appeared to Paul on the way?
37233Did he vanish suddenly?
37233Did he vanish suddenly?
37233Did she not inquire why he did not join the brethren?
37233Did the 500 originally think anything of the kind?
37233Did they die again?
37233Do we acquire any additional assurance as to the reality of the angels and the historical truth of their intervention from this narrative?
37233Do we not get an instructive insight into the nature of the other Charismata from this suggestive fact?
37233Does Paul himself ascribe his conversion to Christianity to the fact of his having seen Jesus?
37233Does 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?
37233Does he refer to the Christian community of Jerusalem, or to the Apostles themselves?
37233Does not such sarcasm as the following seem extremely indecorous when criticising a result produced directly by the Holy Spirit?
37233Does this, however, guarantee the truth of the reports or inferences of those who informed the Apostle?
37233Even if this were so, it could not do away with the actual irony of the expressions; but do the facts support such a statement?
37233Finally we might ask: What became of these saints raised from the dead?
37233For whereas there is among you envying and strife; are ye not carnal?"
37233For[------] what is there wherein ye were inferior to the other Churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you?"
37233From whom did he get it?
37233Further 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?
37233Had 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?
37233Hath any man been called in uncircumcision?
37233Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?"
37233He does not pretend to teach them from his own knowledge, and the question naturally arises: From whom did he"receive"them?
37233He was in the confidence of the high priests it seems, can he ever have heard the slightest doubt from them on the subject?
37233How again did they know that the hundred and twenty or more brethren were Galilaean?
37233How can I declare stocks and stones to be gods?...
37233How could Paul use the expression"by the tongue"if he meant a foreign language in v. 2 and elsewhere?
37233How could he argue in such a way with the Lord?
37233How could the announcement of that event by the angels to the women seem to them as an idle tale, which they did not believe?
37233How could this be said if[------] meant merely speaking a foreign language?
37233How did Ananias know that Paul had authority from the chief priests to arrest any one?
37233How did he get that information?
37233How did he who spoke with a tongue edify himself?
37233How did the multitude so rapidly know of what was passing in a private house?
37233How does this accord with the whole tone of the account in the Acts?
37233How often are these inferences correct?
37233How then, we may inquire, could two accounts of the same event differ so fundamentally?
37233How, and upon what principle, were these singular conditions selected?
37233I ask, therefore, for what reason ye sent for me?"
37233I)r. Farrar, somewhat pertinently, asks:"Why did they( the disciples) not go to Galilee immediately on receiving our Lord''s message?
37233If Paul preached the same Gospel as the rest, what necessity could there have been for communicating it at all?
37233If Paul says:"Am I not an apostle?
37233If 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?
37233If he was the Messiah could he thus die?
37233If miraculous powers of healing existed, why were they not exerted in this case?
37233If 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"?
37233If they were exerted and failed for special reasons, why are these not mentioned?
37233If 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?
37233If we suppose it to refer to the community of Jerusalem, taking thus the more favourable construction, how would this affect the question?
37233In addressing God in some unintelligible jargon, in the utterance of which his understanding has no part?
37233In all this, however, is there anything miraculous?
37233In employing language, which he does not comprehend, in private prayer and praise?
37233In that case, bow can it be supposed that he ever went at all up to Jerusalem to the Apostles and elders about this question?
37233In v. 28 he again uses the expression[------], and in a following verse he inquires:"do all speak with tongues"[------](1)"do all interpret"[------]?
37233In what does this opposition consist?
37233In what language must we suppose that the Epistle was originally written?
37233Is it conceivable that he would not relate the circumstance that Jesus breathed upon them, and endowed them with the Holy Ghost?
37233Is it conceivable that, if such an episode had ever really occurred, the Apostle Paul would not have referred to it upon this occasion?
37233Is it not an extraordinary thing that Paul never mentions Ananias in any of his letters, nor in any way refers to these miracles?
37233Is it not reasonable to suppose that they did not form part of his copy?
37233Is it permissible to suppose that the Holy Spirit could inspire speech with tongues at an unfitting time?
37233Is it possible that he should, to such an audience, have translated the word Acheldamach?
37233Is it possible that the vision of the 500, for instance, had escaped the maturing influence of time?
37233Is it possible to suppose that Paul really indicated by this expression a distinct order of"miracles"properly so called?
37233Is it probable that Jesus appeared twice upon the same evening to the eleven disciples?
37233Is not such a gift of tongues more like the confusion of tongues in Babel(1){ 389} than a christian Charisma?
37233Is there any appreciable trace of the originality of Paul in his discourses?
37233Is this possible?
37233Jesus saith unto her: Woman, why weepest thou?
37233May we not ask what was the use, in this narrative, of the removal of the stone at all?
37233Must we then understand that the dogmas of all religions which have been established must have been objective truths?
37233Need we argue that the earthquake(1) is as mythical as the resurrection of the saints?
37233Now 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?
37233Now what was the actual operation of this singular miraculous gift, and its utility whether as regards the community or the gifted individual?
37233Now why all this mystery?
37233Now, 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?
37233On closer examination, one of the first questions which arises is: how could such a speech have been reported?
37233On the other hand, can we suppose that the fourth Evangelist would have ignored the walk to Bethany and the solemn parting there?
37233One might ask, indeed, why such an angelic interposition should have taken place?
37233Or did they also"ascend into Heaven?
37233Or is not this the writer ascribing, according to his view, probable sentiments to them?
37233Or must we conclude that the sayings are simply the creation of later tradition?
37233Paul, therefore, in saying:"Why compellest thou[------] the Gentiles to adopt the customs of the Jews?
37233Reference 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?
37233So far, is there and utility in the miracle?
37233Sun and moon are made for us: how, therefore, shall I worship my own servants?
37233The high priest asks:"Are these things so?
37233The high- priest asks him: Are these things so?
37233The question is-- does internal evidence confirm or contradict this tradition?
37233The question is: Does the Apocalypse contain any reference to the Apostle Paul, or throw light upon the relations between him and the elder Apostles?
37233The question, therefore, arises: Was the appearance to Paul of the same character as the former?
37233Then answered Peter: Can any one forbid the water that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
37233Then are we to suppose that the chief priests and council believed this story of the earthquake and angel, and yet acted in this way?
37233Then why not equally so the appearances of Jesus after his passion?
37233They say unto her: Woman, why weepest thou?
37233Verse 11,[------] Acts 1?
37233Was Thomas excluded?
37233Was he thus punished for his unbelief?
37233Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory?
37233Was it not needful that the Christ( Messiah) should suffer these things and enter into his glory?
37233What amount of evidence would be required before such a statement could be pronounced sufficiently attested?
37233What became of Jesus, for instance?
37233What could be the object of such a resurrection?
37233What do we really know of the phenomena supposed to have characterized the Apostolic age, and which were later, and are now, described as miraculous?
37233What doubt that by any means he might be running, or had run, in vain?
37233What evidence could be regarded as sufficient to establish the reality of such supposed occurrences?
37233What evidence is there that Jesus was seen, or supposed to have been seen, on the third day?
37233What impression did the individuals receive?
37233What is such belief worth?
37233What is the meaning of such a limitation?
37233What is the value of this evidence?
37233What kind of evidence then are we permitted decorously to require upon so momentous a subject?
37233What occurred in the interval between the burial and the supposed apparition?
37233What then are these Charismata?
37233What then does Paul himself tell us of the circumstances under which he saw Jesus?
37233What was it the 500 really saw?
37233What was the private utility or advantage of the supernatural gift?
37233What weight can we, then, attach to the representation in the Acts of the Apostles of the conversion of Paul?
37233What were the"Scriptures,"according to which"Christ died for our sins,"and"has been raised the third day?"
37233When Paul says he went up to Jerusalem and communicated"to them"his Gospel, but privately[------], whom does he mean to indicate by the[------]?
37233When he has commenced his own public ministry, Jesus is represented as asking his disciples:--"Who do men say that I am?"
37233Where could so many as 500 disciples have been collected at one time?
37233Where did he get his information regarding the 500 brethren at once?
37233Where, however, are the consequences of this marvellous recognition of the Gentiles?
37233Whose fault is it that two and two do make four and not five?
37233Whose 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?
37233Why did he not consort as before with his disciples?
37233Why should we suppose that which we can not compare more accurate?
37233Why, we may inquire, did Jesus not appear to his{ 550} enemies as well as to his friends?
37233Would anyone believe the affirmation that Alfred the Great, for instance, did not die at all?
37233Would 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?
37233and that he who supplies the Spirit"and worketh powers"in them does so?
37233and that this is a necessary inference from their wide adoption?
37233are all powers[------]?
37233are all prophets?
37233are all teachers?
37233are we better?
37233do all interpret?"
37233do all interpret[------]?"
37233do all speak with tongues[------]?
37233have I not seen Jesus our Lord?
37233have I not seen Jesus our Lord?"
37233have we not rather a paraphrase of the words in the Epistle to the Galatians?
37233he continues:"Are ye not my work in the Lord?
37233he indignantly exclaims,"have ye not houses to eat and to drink in?
37233or am I seeking to please men?
37233or despise ye the Church of God?"
37233or did he bid Mary farewell, and leave her like one in the flesh?
37233or did he remain on earth?
37233or doubt that this was simply one of the pious hallucinations which visit those who are in such a state?
37233or that of the Eleven?
37233or the injunction to remain in Jerusalem?
37233or what the profit of circumcision?"
37233that is to say: My God, my God, why didst thou forsake me?"
37233whither he was going?
37233whom seekest thou?
37233why make"as though he would go further?"
37233why pretend ignorance?
37233why were their eyes holden that they should not know him?
