19879	Adeo verbum Dei inefficax esse censuerunt, ut regnum Christi sine mendaciis promoveri posse diffiderent?
19879	And he said, What shall I cry?
19879	And what was the covenant?
19879	Did John the Baptist do this?
19879	Does Mr. Everett really believe it to be true?
19879	Does Mr. Everett suppose, that the prophet meant to; signify that he was actually putrified at the sight of Gabriel?]
19879	Does not all the world know it to be false?
19879	Has not the earth been blessed in his seed?
19879	Has this been yet fulfilled or have the nations called Christians, for the last 180 years, been more peaceable than others?
19879	He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who would meditate[ or consider sufficiently] his generation?
19879	How has the liberal Mr. Everett acted on an occasion of this kind?
19879	Is not the name of Abraham a theme of blessing to the Jew-- the Christian-- the Magian-- and the Musselman?
19879	Is there a nation or people upon it, who have any rational ideas of God or futurity, who have not derived them from Moses, Jesus, or Mohammed?
19879	Is this a character"whose laurel is to be watered by tears,"the leaves of which is to"grow green in an atmosphere filled with sighs and groans?"
19879	Is this true?
19879	Moreover, how has it happened that"the keen detector of dissonances"has contradicted himself in quoting Michaelis?
19879	Now what is meant in the Old Testament by"God''s statutes, and God''s ordinances,"is not the Mosaic law always signified by these expressions?
19879	Now who is"Elijah the Prophet?"
19879	The painter asked why?
19879	Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, how long dost thou draw our souls asunder?
19879	There has been since his time, for eighteen hundred years, I know not how many millions of"preachers of righteousness,"and what have they effected?
19879	Thus one of the disciples of Jesus is represented as asking him,"Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him; until seven times?
19879	Viewed in this light, who will deny that this declaration has been most strangely fulfilled?
19879	WHAT was the real history and character of Jesus Christ?
19879	What is that to me?
19879	What success have the"Preachers of righteousness,"of the present day?
19879	When no iniquity?
19879	[ fn45]"Who hath believed what we heard?
19879	[ fn53]"They have done no iniquity?
19879	[ fn77"Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
19879	[ fn77] Was the appearing of John the Baptist followed by this event?
19879	are not the books of Leviticus and Numbers filled with regulations concerning them?
19879	has not this prophecy been fulfilled?
19879	he might say, are the quotations in the New Testament from the Old, indeed founded on folly, and alledged through stupidity?
19879	not what this people have spoken, saying, the two families which Jehovah hath chosen, he hath even cast them off?
19879	or has it yet occurred, though that man lived eighteen hundred years ago?
19879	there never was,[fn24] a better or greater"Preacher of righteousness,"than Jesus Christ himself, and what did he effect among the people of his age?
19879	who hath told it from that time: Have not I Jehovah?
50715	If what I have taken for granted be true,says the chairman,"do not all the fine things I have been telling you about follow necessarily?"
50715	Well,said Epictetus with an even smiling face,"did I not say that you would break my leg?"
50715	(? VI.)
50715	And as the visions of men go to extremes, must we be astonished if there are created an innumerable quantity of Divinities?
50715	And how will you make this clearer by the conception of the intellect, since he limits every intellect?
50715	And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
50715	And what choice shall we make here among so many teachers so much at variance in even one eminent sect?
50715	And whence else came those many immense volumes concerning the gods of the pagans and those wagon loads of lies?
50715	And why should it not be said that he did this?
50715	Because other religious people, following revelation, do not pass more tranquil lives?
50715	Because, forsooth, the wiser men at least say so?
50715	But how?
50715	But is it rather because God demands of us especially a more precise idea of God?
50715	But to what end?
50715	But where will you place an end to this?
50715	But who does not see the imperfection of our nature?
50715	But why is this honor given?
50715	But why should God be loved, why worshipped?
50715	By whom?
50715	Consider, you who are a father, would you do such a thing?
50715	Did not the Holy Spirit beget the son of God by a peculiar union with a betrothed virgin?
50715	Do you call attention to the writings of Moses, the Prophets and Apostles?
50715	Do you point to the oracles of the heathen?
50715	Does he himself delight in worship?
50715	For is it sufficient enough to maintain the society of men peacefully?
50715	For what reason of theirs can be a command to worship God if this is not?
50715	Frederick II, son of Henry VI, began to reign(?)
50715	God is, therefore should he be worshipped?
50715	He created Henry the Lion(?
50715	His own people do indeed worship him, but why?
50715	If God does all, and nothing can be done without him how does it happen that the Devil hates him, curses him, and takes away his friends?
50715	In what respects?
50715	Is there anything more alike than the fall of Lucifer and that of Vulcan, or that of the giants cast down by the lightnings of Jupiter?
50715	Is there anything that more resembles the two accidents of Sodom and Gomorrah than that which happened to Phaeton?
50715	Is there anything, for example, more dextrous than the manner in which he treated the subject of the woman taken in adultery?
50715	Nevertheless Mahomet is undoubtedly considered an impostor among us; but why?
50715	Nevertheless what saith the Scripture?
50715	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?
50715	Of what use were so many separate, nay, so oft times repeated, genealogies?
50715	The description of the country of which Socrates speaks to Simias in the Phaedon(?)
50715	The entrance of friends in Belgium, to the eyes of those who know, Is it not an unique epoch?
50715	Then follows a"Bouquet for the Pope":"Thou whom flatterers have invested with a vain title, Shalt thou at this late day become the arbiter of Europe?
50715	Then follows fifteen chapters which are not in the treatise(?
50715	Then, on the contrary, among the Mahometans he is considered a most holy prophet; but why?
50715	There is no progression into infinity; why not?
50715	Therefore, should he be worshipped?
50715	Therefore, there is no God?
50715	This is demonstrative, for if it was God who marched before Israel night and day in the cloud and the column of fire could they have a better guide?
50715	This is much to be desired, but where are those capable of accomplishing such a project?
50715	To relieve this embarrassment, he availed himself of the questioners themselves by asking them in the name of whom they thought John baptized?
50715	To the testimony of your priests?
50715	To what does this reasoning lead us?
50715	V. Dicearchus, Asclesiade(?
50715	Was not polygamy also permitted by( Mohammed) Moses, and as some maintain, even in the New Testament, by Christ?
50715	Was there ever courage equal to that?
50715	We do not understand his origin they say, therefore he has none( why so?
50715	What do you think of these things?
50715	What is it to make a command a mockery, if this is not?
50715	What more then?
50715	What reply shall we make?
50715	What shall we say about women, what about children, what about the majority of the masses of the people?
50715	What then is to be said of the testimony of conscience?
50715	What would be the object of God in such conduct?
50715	Whence comes the conformity which we find between the doctrine of the Old Testament and that of Plato?
50715	Whence did they arise?
50715	Wherefore do you indeed believe that God makes such demands?
50715	Who does not know the evil that the Holy See did to his son Henry VI., against whom his own wife took up arms at the persuasion of the Pope?
50715	Who of you is there who speaks from special revelation?
50715	Who will put an end to these disputes?
50715	Who would say that he wants honor except those who persist in honoring him?
50715	Who, however, would say that God, the most perfect of all beings, wants anything?
50715	Who, pray, are the wiser?
50715	Why should God be worshipped?
50715	Why these historical reminiscences?
50715	Will not Moses and the rest say: What wrong have we done you that you thus reject us, though we are better and nearer the truth?
50715	Would they let it be known that such practices were to their interests?
50715	You may protest in your turn, but who will be the judge?

50715	and could it have been said of Jesus Christ had he been the victim?
50715	because he created us?
50715	because it can not imagine anything beyond its own limits?
50715	because it is accustomed to this belief?
50715	because the human intellect must have some foundation?
50715	c. v., 10. Who would say such things of the most holy law of God?
50715	if we do not understand God himself, is there, therefore, no God?)

3743	Art thou the man of God that came from Judah? 3743 Canst thou by searching find out God; canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?"

3743	18,"Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer''s house is?
3743	3. Who is there among you of all his people?
3743	After the lot had designated Jonah to be the offender, they questioned him to know who and what he was?
3743	After this, who can doubt the bountifulness of the Christian Mythology?
3743	And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?"
3743	And what is the difference?
3743	And what then?
3743	And what then?
3743	And what then?
3743	And, on the other hand, are we to suppose that every world in the boundless creation had an Eve, an apple, a serpent, and a redeemer?
3743	Are these things, and the blessings they indicate in future, nothing to, us?
3743	Are we sure that the books that tell us so were written by his authority?
3743	BUT if objects for gratitude and admiration are our desire, do they not present themselves every hour to our eyes?
3743	BUT some perhaps will say-- Are we to have no word of God-- no revelation?
3743	But how was Jesus Christ to make anything known to all nations?
3743	But why must the moon stand still?
3743	Can our gross feelings be excited by no other subjects than tragedy and suicide?
3743	Can we conceive anything more destructive to morality than this?
3743	Do we not see a fair creation prepared to receive us the instant we are born-- a world furnished to our hands, that cost us nothing?
3743	Do we want to contemplate his mercy?
3743	Do we want to contemplate his munificence?
3743	Do we want to contemplate his power?
3743	Do we want to contemplate his wisdom?
3743	Does not the creation, the universe we behold, preach to us the existence of an Almighty power, that governs and regulates the whole?
3743	First, Canst thou by searching find out God?
3743	For what reason, or on what authority, should we do this?
3743	From whence, I ask, could he gain that knowledge, but from the study of the true theology?
3743	Having published his predictions, he withdrew, says the story, to the east side of the city.--But for what?
3743	How happened it that he did not discover America?
3743	How then is it that those people pretend to reject reason?
3743	If the writer meant that he( God) buried him, how should he( the writer) know it?
3743	If they lied in one genealogy, why are we to believe them in the other?
3743	In fine, do we want to know what God is?
3743	Is it not reasonable to suppose that by the cherubims he meant the temple at Jerusalem, where they had figures of cherubims?
3743	Is it we that light up the sun; that pour down the rain; and fill the earth with abundance?
3743	Now, in the name of common sense, can it be Joshua that relates what people had done after he was dead?
3743	Of this class are, EZEKIEL and DANIEL; and the first question upon these books, as upon all the others, is, Are they genuine?
3743	Or is the gloomy pride of man become so intolerable, that nothing can flatter it but a sacrifice of the Creator?
3743	Or of what use is it that this immensity of worlds is visible to man?
3743	Secondly, Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
3743	Since then no part of our earth is left unoccupied, why is it to be supposed that the immensity of space is a naked void, lying in eternal waste?
3743	Some Christians pretend that Christianity was not established by the sword; but of what period of time do they speak?
3743	The first question, however, upon the books of the New Testament, as upon those of the Old, is, Are they genuine?
3743	The question upon this passage is, At what time did the Jebusites and the children of Judah dwell together at Jerusalem?
3743	This brings on a supposed expostulation between the Almighty and the prophet; in which the former says,"Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?
3743	Those books, therefore, have neither been written by the men called apostles, nor by imposters in concert.--How then have they been written?
3743	To what cause then are we to assign this skulking?
3743	What certainty then can there be in the Bible for any thing?
3743	What have ye still to offer against the pure and moral religion of deism, in support of your system of falsehood, idolatry, and pretended revelation?
3743	What is it that we have learned from this pretended thing called revealed religion?
3743	What is it we want to know?
3743	What more does man want to know, than that the hand or power that made these things is divine, is omnipotent?
3743	What occasion could there be for moonlight in the daytime, and that too whilst the sun shined?
3743	What shadow of pretence have ye now to produce for continuing the blasphemous fraud?
3743	What then can we say of these prophets, but that they are impostors and liars?
3743	Who can say by what exceeding fine action of fine matter it is that a thought is produced in what we call the mind?
3743	Who is there among you of all his people?
3743	Why then are we to believe the same thing of another girl whom we never saw, told by nobody knows who, nor when, nor where?
3743	Why then is it to be supposed they have changed with respect to man?
3743	Would it not then have been the same if he had died of a fever or of the small pox, of old age, or of anything else?
3743	Would they believe me a whit the more if the thing had been a fact?
3743	[ NOTE by Paine: If it should be asked, how can man know these things?
3743	and in the same manner, what beyond the next boundary?
3743	are we sure that the Creator of man commissioned those things to be done?
3743	or why should we( the readers) believe him?
3743	that is, were they written by Ezekiel and Daniel?
3743	were they written by the persons to whom they are ascribed?
40978	And it came to pass by the way in the inn,( by the way, were there inns then in Egypt?) 40978 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
40978	Again, how does the oblation cease in half a week?
40978	And are we, who laugh at the Catholic councils, to trust to the word of a Jewish scribe?
40978	And have not sceptics been justified in their disbelief of the genuineness of such books?
40978	And he said unto him, what is thy name?
40978	And was this tree a type of him, as the bread and wine are at this day?
40978	Any thing that is conceivable is possible: but are we therefore to believe in the existence of witches or necromancers?
40978	Are we to give credit to the world having sprung from an egg?
40978	Are you ignorant of the adoration of the Ethiopians?
40978	Are you in earnest, can you assert this before men of common information?
40978	At least, do not the Jewish books affirm it?
40978	Besides, does Joshua say the sun changed its course?
40978	Besides, where do you find in the Pentateuch any accounts of the Devil?
40978	But had not the witch of Endor a real power of incantation?
40978	But let me ask your Lordship, what you conclude against one, who, like myself, is not a Deist?
40978	But what avails all this?
40978	But why go through such barbarous details?
40978	But, in what consisted the wonted wisdom of a God, whom you describe as ever solicitous to lessen the influence of sin?
40978	Can any man, after this, doubt that Esdras is the compiler of all the books which the Jews had not known for many centuries?
40978	Can this apply to Jesus Christ?
40978	Can this possibly allude to Christ?
40978	Could Moses affirm, as you pretend he might, that he never persecuted any man?
40978	Could he be so ignorant as not to see the contradiction?
40978	Dares Dr. Watson affirm, that freedom of inquiry was ever suffered on religious subjects?
40978	Did Christ confirm any covenant with many for seven years?
40978	Did Cicero adore stocks or stones?
40978	Did he come from Edom in mighty power, in rich garments?
40978	Did not all the endeavours of Jehovah to rescue nations from idolatry prove fruitless?
40978	Did not the plagues which he sent to Pharaoh and David fall upon thousands of innocent individuals?
40978	Did not this Jehovah approve the base murder of Adonias?
40978	Did she not most wonderfully raise up the spirit of Samuel?
40978	Did the Messiah come after seven weeks from the commandment of Ar- taxerxes Longimanus?
40978	Did then Jesus Christ live four hundred and twenty- three years, or are there two Messiahs predicted?
40978	Do not other divines tell us that it means the kingdom of heaven?
40978	Do not these pretended prophecies also apply to Judas Maccabeus, who delivered the Jews from the tyranny of Antiochus Epi- phanus?
40978	Do they not admit one supreme agent, an all- wise, intelligent,& c. being, and whose inferior agents they represent by symbols?
40978	Do you forget their reverence to the holy of holies, which none could approach; the ark of the covenant, and the calves?
40978	Do you take Englishmen for idiots to be deceived by your assertions?
40978	Do you think, that consigning to slavery thirty- two thousand maids, is consistent with the benignity of God?
40978	Does not every quack, every impostor, do the same, and caution the world to beware of counterfeits?
40978	Does not this at once show the grossness of the conceptions of the Jews, and the sophistical mode of arguing of their legislator?
40978	Does your Lordship imagine, that the peasants of La Vendee are models of morality?
40978	Does your zeal blind you so far as not to let you perceive, that this very argument may with redoubled strength be retorted against you?
40978	For I would ask, How did Moses prove himself the oracle of God?
40978	Had they any very refined ideas of their God?
40978	Has ferocity forsaken Christians as you insinuate?
40978	Has not the New Jerusalem been sometimes taken for a real flying town, seen in the air by the first fathers of the church, as Tertullean informs us?
40978	Has not the principal branch of the church of Christ been notorious idolaters?
40978	Have not such miracles taken place if we credit historians?
40978	Have not the bears of the Apocalypse been made to signify by turns, the Pope and the Devil?
40978	Have not the founders of our faith been the most cruel murderers?
40978	Have the modern religious fanatics yielded in cruelty to the Jews?
40978	Have these Christian invaders any where respected the chastity of women when they made them slaves?
40978	Have you forgotten the wonders of the magicians of Pharaoh?
40978	Have you proved that the Heathens"emulated in the transcendent flagitiousness of their lives, the impure morals of their gods?"
40978	How did you learn this?
40978	How does it happen, that the Lord Jahovah does not provide better against such mistakes creeping into the book of the law of his favourite people?
40978	How then did the Jews inhabit Jerusalem in the days of Joshua?
40978	I would reason thus: Moses does not say, that he was the author of the Pentateuch; why then do we believe that he wrote it?
40978	In verse 26, instead of,_ shall Messiah be cut off?_ we ought to read,_ the oblation shall cease_.
40978	In what consists the superiority of the Jewish or Christian notions of God?
40978	In what respect do these brutal prophets differ from Mahomet, who decided all disputes by the sword?
40978	Is it consistent with a Deity to punish this pair, and all their progeny, for their attempt to know good from evil?
40978	Is it then by such ridiculous customs that you reconcile your omnipotent and all- wise God?
40978	Is this a reason for any man to believe the fabulous legends we have of him, written in the dark centuries?
40978	It might be worth enquiring at this time, whether the Roman Bard was inspired by the Holy Ghost?
40978	Lastly, I may ask, does your Lordship believe in the many prophecies that have of late appeared of the French revolution?
40978	Now, my Lord, what has the Egyptian tradition to do with the sun stopped by the robber Joshua?
40978	Or are we to look upon the story of the witch of Endor in the same light as those of modern witches?
40978	Or did ever any learned man among the heathens humble himself before idols?
40978	Or has the story of the five golden mice, for looking at which fifty thousand and three score and ten Israelites were smote by the Lord, escaped you?
40978	Or how did Jesus Christ show himself the Son of God, but by their pretended miracles?
40978	Pray, my Lord, do you think, that to prove a book spurious, when it is believed to be genuine, is a demonstration of the truth of the contents?
40978	That Mahomet divided the moon?
40978	That astrology is a science?
40978	That the sun stood still?
40978	The next reflection the Doctor makes, is respecting gospel moderation, for which purpose he quotes,"Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant?
40978	The question is, what degree of credit does the mutilated, contradictory, and fabulous collection, said to be made out of these records, deserve?
40978	They say it means the Devil, but how does that appear?
40978	Was his march so terrible?
40978	Was it not till Jesus Christ came?
40978	Was not Saul dethroned because he was humane enough not to cut Agag in pieces?
40978	We ask, in what language was the Pentateuch written, if it really was the work of Moses?
40978	Were all the male children already polluted from their birth?
40978	Were not the Romans masters of Judea?
40978	Were the Syrians in the land when he came?
40978	Were these continual murders necessary to instruct ignorant idolaters who followed the example of their priests?
40978	What an irksome task have those undertaken, who have attempted to reconcile the horrible crimes of the Jews with the mercy and wisdom of the Creator?
40978	What connection has the stoppage of the sun, or rather the earth''s motion, with the sun rising where it sets?
40978	What degree of credit does a nation deserve, who have been able to take for originals books that were in the face of them translations?
40978	What has this to do with the Messiah coming at the end of the first seven weeks?
40978	What is more strange, how came Samuel to introduce such a passage?
40978	What is this anterior book which Joshua respects so much?
40978	What was the belief of the Jews?
40978	What, and when are we to see the good effects of their barbarities?
40978	Who but a clergyman would build a system upon a mutilated, spurious, and insignificant collection of absurdities and wonders?
40978	Why did God mingle his important and sublime precepts with such ridiculous trash, so as to induce mankind to disbelieve them both?
40978	Why then believe the testimony of a miracle in one instance, and not in another?
40978	Why?
40978	Will you then, without any proofs of Isaiah having written this book, insist upon calling it a prophecy?
40978	Wilt thou not possess that which_ Chemosh thy god_ giveth thee to possess?
40978	Would any part be believed that was not corroborated by the evidence of respectable contemporary authors?
40978	Would he not rather, to make the book consistent, expunge it?
40978	Yet what reason have we to disbelieve them?
40978	You say, that if the works of Titus Livius had been ascribed to another, they would nevertheless be true; how would you ascertain it?
40978	Your reply is curious: because we never have seen the like of them, does it follow that they are untrue?
40978	_ Primus in orbe Deos fecit timor_, says the philosopher; can you disprove it?

45483	For, we ask again, if the Lord can save one, why not all?
45483	Furthermore, if the mental and moral limitations of a people determine the character of revelation, what advantage is there in having a revelation?
45483	God, or chance?

45483	If the scientific explanation of the origin of the moral sense is a"flat failure,"quoting from the professor again, what is_ his_ explanation?
45483	If we are to use our own reason to decide this momentous question, why, then, do we need a revelation?

45483	Is it not more generous and aesthetic to be on good terms with everybody?

15968	Moreover, how was it that God did not give him the throne of David, as was promised by the Angel to his Mother?
15968	Nay, does he not suppose him to say so, in order to fulfil, or that he might fulfil, a prophecy?
15968	Now, how can good sense admit that God delights in seeing his creatures torment themselves?
15968	On the contrary, did they not ask him not to evade, but to speak plainly?
15968	Or, lastly, to this?
15968	Reader, what do you think now of Paul � s argument from the use of the singular number?

6107	But do_ you_ see them, too, because I see them?
6107	But how can any amount of evidence satisfy one''s self that Jesus was born of a virgin, for instance?
6107	But if a faith which ignores evidence be not a superstition, what then is superstition?
6107	But if he knew all these things about Jesus, is it possible that he could go through the world preaching Christ without ever once referring to them?
6107	But if the''Christ''which the Hebrews expected was"purely mythical,"what makes the same''Christ''in the supposed Tacitus passage historical?
6107	But if there is"some ultimate fount of being,"to which our"highest"nature"can be traced,"whence did our lower nature come?
6107	But if they believed he was God, would they try to kill him?
6107	But is it true that the Christmas celebration proves a historical Jesus?
6107	But is that any evidence for you or me?
6107	But is that any proof that what he saw we could see also?
6107	But is that any reason why the attending physician, his pulse normal and his brow cool, should believe that the room is filling up with assassins?
6107	But our clerical neighbor from Oak Park has one more argument:"Why is Sunday observed instead of Saturday?"
6107	But the question is, does a teacher suppress the facts?
6107	But was Calvin"mighty"in a beneficent sense?
6107	But was Jesus the only one, or even the first to offer himself as a sacrifice upon the altar of humanity?
6107	But what has the reception which publicans and sinners might give Jesus to do with how_ the churches_ would receive him?
6107	But what is meant by salvation?
6107	But what is that but another kind of argument?
6107	But where is the Jesus to correspond to this rhetorical language?
6107	But why seek truths that are not pleasant?
6107	But_ who_ guarantees Paul?
6107	Can you conceive of anything more mythical than that?
6107	Can you hear me?
6107	Clapping truth into jail; gagging the mouth of the student-- is that building up or tearing down?
6107	Could Paul really have left out of his ministry so essential a chapter from the life of Jesus, had he been acquainted with it?
6107	Could anything be more fanciful than that?
6107	Could he not have_ said_ just what he_ meant_, in the first place?
6107	Could slavery ever strike a deeper bottom than that?
6107	Could they have been in a conspiracy against him?
6107	Critics have discovered mistakes in Darwin and Haeckel, but are these mistakes of such a nature as to prove fatal to the theory of evolution?
6107	Did Jesus show gratitude to the past when he denounced all who had preceded him in the field of love and labor as"thieves and robbers?"
6107	Did ever a Roman court witness such a trial?
6107	Did he not mean just what he said?
6107	Did his power save people from the Protestant inquisition?
6107	Did it cost Jesus any effort to perform miracles?
6107	Did it imply a sacrifice on his part to utilize a small measure of his_ infinite_ power for the good of man?
6107	Did the priests of Baal or Moloch prove that these beings existed?
6107	Do we know of any good reason, when it comes to religion, why Asia should be incomparably superior to anything Europe has produced in that line?
6107	Do we mean to say that the jelly- fish, the creeping worm, or the bud on the tree has reason?
6107	Do you not think that if he had done this, it would then have been impossible to deny his resurrection?
6107	Does he believe that there are two eternal sources, from one of which we get our bodies, and from the other our"rational side?"
6107	Does he give his people everything, or"whatsoever"they ask of him?
6107	Does he insist on remaining ignorant of the facts?
6107	Does he mean that"New York and Chicago churches"and"publicans and sinners"are the same thing?
6107	Does it justify hasty language?
6107	Does it not read like a page from fiction?
6107	Does not the Professor know that the story of the resurrection of Jesus is not original, but a repetition of older stories of the kind?
6107	Does not the horse see, hear and think?
6107	Does our neighbor grasp our meaning?
6107	Does that make it real?
6107	Does this read like history?
6107	Evolution is our destiny; of what use is it, then, to take up arms against destiny?
6107	From what teaching or saying of Jesus does he infer his respect for the rights of posterity?
6107	Had not England rendered innumerable services to the colony?
6107	Had the blind, and the lame, and the deaf, remained altogether neglected before Jesus took compassion upon them?
6107	Had the dead never been raised before?
6107	Has Christ after two thousand years abolished war?
6107	Has Jesus healed the world of the maladies for which we blame the Pagan world?
6107	Has Jesus kept his promise?
6107	Has any of you known him for more than three years?
6107	Has he broken the yoke of superstition and priest- craft?
6107	Has he even succeeded in uniting into one loving fold his own disciples?
6107	Has he made humanity free?
6107	Has he redeemed man from the blight of ignorance?
6107	Has he saved the world from the fear of hell?
6107	Has not Felix Adler examined the evidence which incriminates Calvin and proves him beyond doubt as the murderer of Servetus?
6107	Has this gentleman never heard of Greece?
6107	Have not a thousand, thousand prayers been offered in Jesus''name against every evil which has ploughed the face of our earth?
6107	Have not the Czars loved their country and fought for her prosperity?
6107	Have not these great teachers helped humanity?
6107	Have these prayers been answered?
6107	Have they not beautified her cities and enacted laws for the protection of their subjects?

6107	How are we to prove whether or not a certain person was God?
6107	How can Christian ministers hope to engage the interest of the reading public if they themselves abstain from reading?
6107	How can Christian people tolerate the rebel against their God, when God himself has pronounced sentence of death against him?
6107	How can we be sure that these copies are reliable?
6107	How could an imaginary Zeus, or Jupiter, draw to his temple the elite of Greece and Rome?
6107	How could he who said,"Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden,"say also,"Depart from me ye_ cursed_?"
6107	How could people with such feelings labor to improve a world they hated?
6107	How could the same Jesus who said,"Blessed are the peacemakers,"say also,"I came not to bring peace, but a sword?"
6107	How did a lamb hold its place on the cross for eight hundred years?
6107	How does our clerical neighbor arrive at such a conclusion?

6107	IS CHRISTIANITY REAL?
6107	IS JESUS A MYTH?
6107	IS THE WORLD INDEBTED TO CHRISTIANITY?
6107	If Jesus as a God opened the eyes of the blind, would it not have been kinder if he had prevented blindness altogether?
6107	If Jesus can open the eyes of the blind, then, why is there blindness in the world?
6107	If Jesus died for us, how many thousands have died for him-- and by infinitely more cruel deaths?
6107	If Jupiter can have, Justin Martyr seems to reason, half a dozen divine sons, why can not Jehovah have at least one?
6107	If Paul visited Athens and preached from Mars Hill, how is it that there is no mention of him or of his strange Gospel in the Athenian chronicles?
6107	If Peter ever went to Rome with a new doctrine, how is it that no historian has taken note of him?
6107	If a Russian is not permitted to choose his own religion, will he be permitted to choose his own form of government?
6107	If a charcoal can be transformed into a diamond, why may not nature, with the resources of infinity at her command, refine a stone into a soul?
6107	If a slave of the church, why may he not be also a slave of the state?
6107	If he can save at all, pray, why not save all?
6107	If he is in the habit of bending his knees, what difference does it make to how many or to whom he bends them?
6107	If he will allow a priest to impose his religion upon him, why may he not permit the Czar to impose despotism upon him?
6107	If it is wrong for him to question the tenets of his religion, is it not equally wrong for him to discuss the laws of his government?
6107	If it is, what shall we think of a man who thought he was a god and could raise the dead?
6107	If matter can feel, can see, can hear, can it not also think?
6107	If so, why are_ you_ trying to convert them?
6107	If that is what he meant, why did he say something else?
6107	If there was ample evidence for the historicity of Jesus, why did his biographers resort to forgery?
6107	If they were originally written in Hebrew, how can we tell that the Greek translation is accurate, since we can not compare it with the originals?
6107	If we are to have any mythology at all, he seems to argue, why object to adding to it the mythus of Jesus?
6107	If we followed these teachings, would not our industrial and social life sink at once to the level of the stagnating Asiatics?
6107	If what I will say is the truth, do you know of any good reason why I should not say it?
6107	If"life is born of life,"where did the first life come from?
6107	In Rome, the Jews were free to be Jews; why should the Jewish Christians-- and the early Christians were Jews-- have been thrown to the lions?
6107	In a speech which is put into the mouth of Paul"--_put into the mouth of Paul!_ Is this another instance of forgery?
6107	In the name of what other prophets have more people been burned at the stake than in the names of Jesus and Moses?
6107	In what sense is Jesus a god, while all his rivals were"mere men,"if he is as helpless to prevent the abuse of his teachings as they were?
6107	Indeed, how could a teacher who said,"He that believeth not shall be damned,"he described as recognizing the rights of future generations?
6107	Is Dr. Adler, then, a dualist?
6107	Is Jesus a myth?
6107	Is Prof. Adler trying to say God?
6107	Is he not absolute?
6107	Is it not already passing into the shade of neglect?
6107	Is it not better to praise than to blame, to recommend than to find fault?"
6107	Is it not more likely that the wonder- working Jesus was unknown to them?
6107	Is it not pathetic?
6107	Is it not unthinkable?
6107	Is it one of the merits of Christianity that it calls other people"heathen,"or that it kills them and lays waste their lands for an empty grave?
6107	Is it possible that a real man, not to say the Savior of the world, would give such unmeaning and evasive replies to straightforward questions?
6107	Is it possible that as the result of Jesus''advent into our world, we have only a basketful of nameless and dateless copies and documents?
6107	Is it possible that such a man could remain totally ignorant of a miracle worker and teacher like Jesus, living in the same city with him?
6107	Is it right, then, in spite of all these things that autocracy has done for Russia, to seek to overthrow it?
6107	Is it right, then, that the missionary should criticise these ancient faiths?
6107	Is not that suggestive?
6107	Is not the man who smites us upon the cheek, or robs us of our clothing, equally guilty?
6107	Is not this remarkable?
6107	Is that the way to crawl out of a contract?
6107	Is that why he said"Take no thought of the morrow,"and predicted the speedy destruction of the world?
6107	Is there any trace of such tolerance in any of the sayings of Jesus?
6107	Is there anything as infamous as that in any religion outside of ours?
6107	Is there anything more precious in human life than children?
6107	Is there nothing good to be said of Russian autocracy?
6107	Is this history?
6107	Jesus and his twelve apostles were Jews; why are all the four Gospels written in Greek?
6107	Jesus may have been a wonderful man, but is every wonderful man a God?
6107	Jesus may have claimed to have been a God, but is every one who puts forth such a claim a God?
6107	Jesus was supposedly a Jew, his twelve apostles all Jews-- how is it, then, that the only biographies of him extant are all in Greek?
6107	Moreover, are not the Ten Commandments in the negative?
6107	Moreover, does not the bible teach that Jesus was tempted in all things, and was a man of like passions, as ourselves?
6107	Moreover, what credit is there in opening the eyes of the blind or in raising the dead by miracle?
6107	Moreover, wherein does a"divine"religion differ from a man- made cult, if it is equally powerless to protect itself against perversion?
6107	Must a man rob the long past in order to provide clothing for his idol?
6107	Must he close his eyes upon all history before he can behold the beauty of his own cult?
6107	Now, all this may be true, and I hope it is; but what of it?
6107	Now, why have I given these conclusions to the world?
6107	Only four?

6107	PART II IS THE WORLD INDEBTED TO CHRISTIANITY?
6107	Paul gives no evidence of possessing any knowledge of the teachings of Jesus, how could he, then, be a missionary of Christianity to the heathen?
6107	Referring once more to the case of Russia: Why do the awakened people in that country demand the overthrow of the autocracy?
6107	THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS IS HE A MYTH?
6107	The Christians have"fasted and prayed"also against science, progress, and modern thought, but what good has it done?
6107	The Reverend has another argument:"The Christian Church-- when, why and how did it begin?"
6107	The date of your own letter 1908 tells what?
6107	The doctrine of humanity to animals, our dumb neighbors, is a positive tenet in Buddhism; is it in Christianity?
6107	The primitive man guessed where knowledge failed him-- what else could he do?
6107	The question under discussion is, Is Jesus Historical?
6107	The question waits for a reasonable answer; Why did not Jesus challenge the whole world with the evidence of his resurrection?
6107	The strength of a given criticism is determined by asking: Does it in any way impair the soundness of the argument against which it is directed?
6107	Then why is there discontent in the world?
6107	There is no meaning in saying that a man''s title"existed in appearance only?"
6107	There was ignorance in the world before Christianity; has Jesus destroyed ignorance?
6107	There was poverty and misery in the world before Christianity; has Jesus removed these evils?
6107	There was war before Christianity; has Jesus abolished war?
6107	To questions,"Where is Jesus?"
6107	W. A. Bartlett consider us beyond hope?
6107	Was ever such a view entertained of Caesar, Socrates or of any other historical character?
6107	Was he still afraid of them, or did he not care whether they believed or not?
6107	Was he the only one who worked miracles?
6107	Was he with his apostles for one year or for three?
6107	Was it just, then, that we should have beaten out of the land a government that had performed for us so many friendly acts?
6107	Was it just, then, to pull down an institution that had done so much for France?
6107	Was it, then, for his"works,"if not for his"words,"that Jesus"won the right of preeminence in the world''s history"?
6107	Was not our soul worth saving?
6107	Was she not one of the most progressive, most civilizing influences in the modern world?
6107	Was there a weakness found in men like Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, etc., from which Jesus was free?
6107	We ask: How long have you known Jesus?
6107	We know what it means in the orthodox sense, but what does it mean from the Unitarian standpoint of Mr. Jones?
6107	We may call this instinct, sensation, promptings of nature, but what''s in a name?
6107	Well, why?
6107	Were any of you present when Jesus came forth from the grave?
6107	Were you present when Jesus was taken down from the cross?
6107	Were you present when he was buried?
6107	Were you present, Mary, when the angels rolled away the stone, and when Jesus came forth from the dead?

6107	What did he do that was not done by his predecessors?
6107	What did the Oriental see in the worm, which induced him to select it out of all things as the original, so to speak, of man?
6107	What did this mighty and noble man do to save a stranger and a scholar from so atrocious a fate?
6107	What do you think of it?"
6107	What does it mean to be the"only begotten from the Father?"
6107	What else in our human world is more beautiful, more divine?
6107	What is Christianity, but the life and teachings of Jesus?

6107	What kind of flesh was he then?
6107	What makes a Roman a Roman, a Greek a Greek, and a Persian a Persian?

6107	What objection is there to thinking that matter, refined, elevated, ripened, cultured, becomes both sentient and rational?
6107	What other revelation has given rise to so many sects, hostile and irreconcilable, as the Christian?

6107	When Bruno lighted a new torch to increase the light of the world, what was his reward?
6107	When were they copied?
6107	When, therefore, you say, he was dead, buried and rose again, you are relying upon the testimony of others?
6107	Where is Christ?
6107	Wherein, then, was the"preeminence"of Jesus?
6107	Which Christian church, brother?
6107	Which of the many faiths of the world has opposed Science as stubbornly and as bitterly as Christianity?
6107	Which of the religions has persecuted as long and as relentlessly as Christianity?
6107	Which of us, if he had the divine power, would not have extended it unto every suffering child of man?
6107	Which of us, poor, weak, sinful though we are, would not be glad to give his life, if thereby he could save a world?

6107	Who is the_ Word_ that became flesh?
6107	Who was Mark?
6107	Who was Matthew?
6107	Who were John, Peter, Judas, and Mary?
6107	Who were the heathen?
6107	Who, if he could by miracle feed the hungry, clothe the naked and give light and sound to the blind and deaf, would be selfish enough not to do so?

6107	Why is the oak more robust than the spruce?
6107	Why not follow the example of the deity, as set forth in the persecutions of the Old Testament?
6107	Why not, then, dwell upon these, and pass in silence over the objectionable teachings of these religions?
6107	Why then is there a different date every year?
6107	Why this discrepancy in a historical document, to say nothing about inspiration?
6107	Why were Quakers hanged?
6107	Why were women put to death as witches?
6107	Why, then, did Jesus hide himself after he came out of the grave?
6107	Why, then, does not Paul speak of them at all?
6107	Will he not speak to his worshippers?"
6107	Will the clergyman tell us which parts of the bible are_ not_ invented?
6107	Will you mention the names of some of the witnesses who saw Jesus come forth from the tomb?
6107	Would it not have been fairer not to have given his friends any occasion for false expectations?
6107	Would not his adjectives be equally appropriate in describing any other teacher he admires?
6107	Would the date on a letter prove that an angel appeared to Mary and hailed her as the future Mother of God?
6107	Yet where are there grander men, or finer women?
6107	You saw him, then, as the apostles did,_ after_ he had risen?
6107	You say he was tried and crucified in Jerusalem before your own eyes, can you remember the date of this great event?
6107	[ Illustration: Isis Nursing Her Divine Child, 3000 B. C.] Of course, it is immaterial on which day Jesus was born, but why is it not known?
6107	_ Jesus_.--"Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?"
6107	_ Pilate_--"Art thou a King?"
6107	_ The Priests_--"Art thou the Christ-- tell us?"
6107	_ The Priests_.--"Art thou the Son of God?"
6107	shall I be guilty of defrauding the vengeance of God of its victims?"
45068	A priest of Apollo?
45068	An idol?
45068	Do you ask me if I am a''Christian''?
45068	Do you doubt Homer?
45068	Do you know of any one who has?
45068	Do you really believe,asked young Holyoake to the clergyman,"that what we ask in faith we shall receive?"
45068	For two thousand years no one has either seen or heard Jesus?
45068	In my hand I hold the notice of a publication bearing the title_ Is Jesus a Myth? 45068 Is he, then, dead?"
45068	Is it possible,I asked,"that all this is pure fabrication, a fantasy of the brain, as unsubstantial as the air?
45068	Mightyhe was, but we ask again, was he mighty in a noble sense?
45068	The whole world celebrates annually the nativity of Jesus; how could there be a Christmas celebration if there never was a Christ?
45068	What became of his body?
45068	What is this I see before me?
45068	What was that?
45068	Will he not be here this morning? 45068 Would not that, then,"I ventured to ask, impatiently,"make Jesus as much of an idol as Apollo?
45068	_ Why then, did not Jesus explain that important_ proviso_ when he made the promise? 45068 ** If Jupiter can have, Justin Martyr seems to reason, half a dozen divine sons, why can not Jehovah have at least one? 45068 1908 years after what? 45068 ANSWER: How long wasthe time from the opening of Jesus''public career until the time that it closed?"
45068	Again, why do these biographers of Jesus give us the genealogy of Joseph if he was not the father of Jesus?
45068	And can we by voting for Jesus make him a God?
45068	And how can it be introduced among the Gentiles without a knowledge of the doctrines and works of its founder?
45068	And how does he do it?
45068	And if, as the professor says,"reason is born of reason,"how did the first reason come?
45068	And shall we speak of the bigotry, the fanaticism, the bitter sectarian prejudices which to this day embitter the life of the world?
45068	And what gave the disciples this supposed"precedent conviction?"
45068	And what was Adam''s sin?
45068	And what was the statement which, while it crippled his memory, it did not moderate his zeal?
45068	And when did the event take place?
45068	And which''four''does the clergyman accept as doubtlessly"genuine?"
45068	And who can number the bitter disappointments caused by such impossible promises?
45068	And why are there thousands upon thousands of various readings in these, numerous supposed copies?
45068	And why are these Gospels anonymous?
45068	And why can not Dr. Adler be a monist?
45068	And, if faith that Jesus is a god proves him a god, why will not faith in Apollo make him a god?
45068	Are not the Beatitudes beautiful-- no matter who said them?
45068	Are not these, too, the fruits of Christianity?
45068	Are there any witnesses who saw the resurrection?
45068	Are there no truths in their teachings?
45068	Are there no virtues in their lives?
45068	Are you?
45068	Aside from the fact that the Jesus of Paul is essentially a different Jesus from the gospel Jesus there still remains the question, Who is Paul?
45068	Besides, could anything be more mythical than a righteousness which can only be imputed to us,--any righteousness of our own being but"filthy rags?"
45068	But do_ you_ see them, too, because I see them?

45068	Jesus and his twelve apostles were Jews; why are all the four Gospels written in Greek?
45068	Jesus may have been a wonderful man, but is every wonderful man a God?
45068	Jesus may have claimed to have been a God, but is every one who puts forth such a claim a God?

45068	The primitive man guessed where knowledge failed him-- what else could he do?

45068	The question waits for a reasonable answer; Why did not Jesus challenge the whole world with the evidence of his resurrection?
45068	The strength of a given criticism is determined by asking: Does it in any way impair the soundness of the argument against which it is directed?
45068	Then why is there discontent in the world?

19566	He puts forth his energy for what?
19566	He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he be not correct?
19566	He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
19566	He that formed the eye, shall he not see?_ It does not say, he has an eye or an ear, but that he has the knowledge we acquire by those organs.
19566	He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
19566	He that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know?
19566	Hear him._"What saith Christ, then, respecting the Old Testament?
19566	How came the world to be under law without a lawgiver?
19566	How can any one imagine a being composed of the sum of all the intelligences of the universe?

19566	If so, how came they there?
19566	If the soul of man is the highest intelligence in the universe, did the soul of man create, or does the soul of man govern it?
19566	If they could, did these finite intelligences create themselves?
19566	If they were not, where did they come from?
19566	If they were, how did they escape being burnt to ashes?

19566	Matthew Poole says:"Where was the need of overwhelming those regions of the earth in which there were no human beings?
19566	May not the life of the nation be as liable to accidents and diseases as that of the individual?
19566	Nay, is there a letter in your own, or in any other alphabet, that was not originally a picture of something?
19566	Now if man can thus control and use the laws of nature for human purposes, why can not the God who made him so cunning do as much?
19566	Now that is certainly a remarkable fact, and all the more remarkable if we inquire, How came it so?
19566	Now what are the facts given to solve the problem of the earth''s age?
19566	Now what is the cause of this remarkable conversion of prince, priests, and people?
19566	Now, I demand to know whether they are aware that the earth''s rotation on its axis is the cause of day and night?
19566	Now, if so, why winnow such chaff?
19566	Now, if this was a falsehood, what motive had they to tell it?
19566	Now, we are tempted to ask, Who are these wonderful prodigies, so incapable of receiving instruction from anybody?
19566	Of what possible use would the Christian code of morals be without the authority of Christ, the lawgiver?
19566	Of what, then, do they consist?
19566	One- half?
19566	One- tenth?
19566	Or are they all eternal?
19566	Or canst thou guide Arcturus, with his sons?
19566	Or do they signify the orderly and regular sequence of cause and effect, which is so manifest in the course of all events?
19566	Or do you shrink back in terror or dislike from God''s denunciations of wrath against the wicked?
19566	Or how could any such argument be founded on a basis so little extended?
19566	Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
19566	Or is the veracity of Baillie, or Edwards suspected, because political history does not concern itself much about religion?
19566	Or shall my soul exist under God''s frowns, or perish under his just sentence, even as my body perishes?

19566	So that the question is not, Did God give as full and expanded instructions to the Church in her infancy as he has given in her maturity?
19566	State the Question Sharply-- Why?
19566	Strange questions you will say; yet we need to ask a stranger question: Had the world a Creator, or did it make itself?
19566	Suppose we ask, Could God speak Hebrew-- a language so defective in philosophical terms?
19566	Take away the moral sanction of law, and the sacredness of oaths, and what basis have you left for any government, save the point of the bayonet?
19566	Take away the persons, and of what value are the things?
19566	That of the ancient oriental world in which Israel lived?

19566	The other prophecy referred to by Von Hammer is as follows:"Have you heard of a city of which one side is land, the two others sea?
19566	The question is whether reason can accept the fact, though science can not even imagine the process?
19566	The question is, Can we believe them?
19566	The question then is simply this, Was Jesus really the Divine Person he claimed to be, or was he a blasphemous impostor?
19566	Then I demand of you,"What more could either God or man do to convince you of their truthfulness?"
19566	Then how came they to get together at all, and particularly how did they put themselves in their present shapes?
19566	Then why is it any cooler now?
19566	These arguments from ignorance need no other answer than the questions, Do you know how the sun shines at all?
19566	This is the book about which we make our present inquiry, Who wrote it?

19566	We are not in search of the literary beauty or poetic inspiration of the Bible; but we inquire by what right does it command our obedience?
19566	We can not avoid asking with as much gravity as we can command, Where did the mist come from?
19566	We say to our would- be philosophers, When you tell us that matter is eternal, how does that account for the formation of this world?
19566	We sell our property for bank- bills, but who dare say they will ever be paid in specie?
19566	We want to know why they think so?
19566	Well, how did they lose their hair?
19566	Well, then, what science have we gained of the mysteries of our origin?
19566	Well, then, your grandmother?
19566	Were the germs of all the plants and animals in it while it was blazing at a white heat?

19566	Why do ye not understand my speech?
19566	Why may not men be as selfish, and filthy, and grasping, and murderous in the other world, as they are in this?
19566	Why may not the course of nature be as fatal to the sinner''s prosperity there as it is here?
19566	Why should religious predictions be attributed to a different power?

19566	and how small seems to be the area of stratification which they have explored?
19566	and to the teeth of the very men who put him to death?
19566	but, Did Christ contradict Moses?
19566	but, Did he give instructions of a different character?
19566	can we not believe our Lord''s testimony, that he cast out devils, and raised the dead, by the direct intervention of God?
19566	from whence proceed such melancholy revolutions?
19566	her grandmother?
19566	in the temple, the most public place of resort of the Jews who saw him crucified?
19566	or by the different media through which it passes?
19566	or does it seem less offensive, or more likely to you to go back some thousands of years, and say your forefathers were apes?
19566	or is it only the single elements that are eternal?
19566	tell me,"cried the dying man,"where will it go last of all?"
45053	Can you give me,asks Father Ignatius,[ 33]"one single text in Holy Scripture to prove that miracles and visions are to cease with the apostles?
45053	Cui bono?
45053	Experience proves that''principles''instilled into anyone while in the hypnotic condition become irrevocably[?] 45053 How can we believe in a personal God?"
45053	In an unknown[?] 45053 Is Man by Nature Religious?"
45053	Is not the quality rather than the quantity of children the thing to be aimed at?
45053	Is, then, the record of the raising of Lazarus a fiction?
45053	It is easy enough to show that Christianity is false, but what have you to put in its place? 45053 Quo vadis?"
45053	Where is the seat of authority for what is moral? 45053 Why Live a Moral Life?"
45053	Why Live a Moral Life?
45053	Why Live a Moral Life?
45053	Why Live a Moral Life?
45053	Why should we be so impatient of error?
45053	( f) CAN WE ALTER PEOPLE''S BELIEFS?
45053	( g) CAN BELIEFS BE USEFUL THOUGH FALSE?
45053	( g) Can Beliefs be Useful though False?
45053	( h) Is a New Religion Required?
45053	( i) WHY BE SO IMPATIENT OF ERROR?
45053	( i) Why be so Impatient of Error?
45053	ARE THE KRISHNA AND BUDDHA LEGENDS BORROWED FROM CHRISTIANITY?
45053	Above all, why should it destroy its use?
45053	Again, did not the disciples and their converts celebrate the anniversaries of these great events?
45053	Again, do we not prefer the fellowship of the good- natured?
45053	Also, How is it the ancient''s belief is still foisted on the credulous modern?
45053	An obvious objection to miracles is the one often propounded by an inquiring child,"Why do we no longer have miracles?"
45053	And how was it that their graves were opened as Jesus died, while their bodies did not come out till after His Resurrection?
45053	And if God knew they must fall, how could Adam help falling, and how could he justly be blamed for doing what he must do?
45053	And who took the chief, and, in the initial stage, the only, part in this reform movement?
45053	And, finally, why do we teach, or allow others to teach, our children what we know to be untrue?
45053	And, if so, on what dates?
45053	Anyone wishing to form some idea of an experience of this sort should read The Bible: Is it the Word of God?
45053	Are cases of assault on women any the more prevalent on that account?
45053	Are not the teachers creating for them the very difficulties which, when they come to mature years, will make shipwreck of their faith?"
45053	Are there any grounds for this presumption, any grounds for presuming that God ever wishes to prevent bloodshed?
45053	Are they not all, everyone of them, adherents of the party desirous of reform and of religious toleration?
45053	Are they not the very same emotions which, in all but religious matters, are admittedly a fruitful source of self- deception?
45053	Are they trivial?
45053	Are we justified in keeping silence?
45053	Are we justified in making no effort to save the future generation from mental distress, or from what is far worse, a demoralising indifference?
45053	Are we not children of God in a strange country?
45053	Are we not, then, to take the author of"The Acts"literally when he informs us that Christ spent forty days on earth after His resurrection?
45053	Are we right, then, in permitting our children''s minds to be imbued with a"sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life"?
45053	Are we to conclude that this is a proof of the divine origin of Christianity?
45053	Are we to suppose that He pretended to be ignorant?
45053	Are we, then, more merciful than God?
45053	Are you and I any unhappier than the believer?
45053	Besides, after all, what is there in the broad facts of modern science which could not be explained to an intelligent savage to- day?
45053	But are we now any less happy than our fellows who are believers?
45053	But need we wait long weary years, burdened with the thousand and one curses of war and militarism,[ 382] till this supreme horror has been invented?
45053	But what does this special pleading amount to?
45053	But what will be the result of this thinking?
45053	But, I ask, Will not Christianity, if true in any shape or form, benefit by truth- telling?
45053	By Christianity?
45053	Can he remain a Christian?
45053	Can not the same and better results be attained by a process less crude, less cruel?
45053	Can this be God''s method of revealing Himself?
45053	Can we depend upon such narrators to furnish us with true history?
45053	Can we make the same excuse for another potentate-- for him of the"mailed fist"?
45053	Can we say that of our philosopher- Premier''s books, A Defence of Philosophic Doubt and The Foundations of Belief?
45053	Can we worship the Unknown?
45053	Can we, like the Athenians of old, erect altars to the Unknown God?
45053	Candidly, if the writer had had our astronomical knowledge, would these words ever have been written?
45053	Could He not have brought about development without all this terrible struggle?
45053	Could any Omnipotent Being be proud of it?
45053	Could anything be more unsatisfactory, more calculated to arouse suspicion of the"Christian Verities"--the Gospel truths?
45053	Could anything more conclusively demonstrate the prevailing ignorance of comparative mythology?
45053	Could not the Church spare a little of her military ardour( exhibited in the arm- chair and pulpit) for supporting peaceful projects of this nature?
45053	Did He not know that we should therefore require absolute proof before we could believe that they had been broken in a bygone and credulous age?"
45053	Did He, or did He not, know what we now know?
45053	Did not our British forefathers think, and with more reason, that"men of honour"could settle their disputes only by the duel?
45053	Do not these visions, too, usually take their form from the teaching with which the mind has been imbued?
45053	Do the above- stated facts bear out that contention?
45053	Do these facts bear out the Christian contention that Christianity purifies empire?
45053	Do they not consist of corrupt officials and cruel Cossacks?
45053	Do they not, however, still survive when human emotions, such as love and anger, happiness and sorrow, are attributed to the Deity?
45053	Do we not guard them against the inglorious possibilities-- the slavery of vice?
45053	Do we not see it flaring up again in the"War of the Kirks,"the Education controversy, and the arguments for the retention of the Athanasian Creed?
45053	Does Dr. Flint mean to say that there is an after- life for all living things?
45053	Does God reveal Himself, then, only or especially to the æsthetic?
45053	Does a surmise-- a belief if you will have it so-- of this kind afford any religious satisfaction?
45053	Does either science or common sense support a belief in the survival of personality?
45053	Does he obtain then the consolation he looks for?
45053	Does it matter whether we call the raising of Lazarus a"miracle"or a"sign"?
45053	Does it necessarily follow that a Supernatural Being hears and answers the suppliant''s prayers?
45053	Does it not account for the effects of prayer?
45053	Does it not at the present time surpass, in the number of its followers and the area of its prevalence, any other form of creed?
45053	Does it not furnish a damaging commentary on one of the strongest arguments for belief-- the argument from religious consolation?
45053	Does it not give us a thrill of pleasure when the lion is baulked of his prey-- when the pet lamb is rescued from the butcher?
45053	Does not scepticism lead to atheism?
45053	Does not this deep and sympathetic writer furnish us with a true picture of men''s hearts?
45053	Does she realise that her"purity"campaigns fail to strike at the root of the evil?
45053	Does the Church realise the extent to which men of science coat their popular writings with"ecclesiastical sugar"?
45053	Does the end-- the survival of the fittest-- justify the means-- over- production and murder?
45053	Eliminating the cases of sudden death, how seldom are these consolations of utility?
45053	Even if your body had health, would your mind have peace without morality?"
45053	Even now how many disbelieve or preserve an agnosticism regarding the chief dogmas of the Christian creed?
45053	Fielding so eloquently discourses in his Hearts of Men, do they not need to be carefully controlled by reason?
45053	For why not, then, allow the process of strengthening to continue by these means?
45053	Good, very good; such views appeal to us as being more humane and rational; but are they compatible with the truth of the Bible?
45053	Granted; but at what stage of development did this poor wretch ever get a proper chance?
45053	Has he not been taught that he must have faith, and that faith is a feeling of trust divinely implanted, and not needing to be fed on evidences?
45053	Has it a spiritual meaning?
45053	Has it an ethical value?
45053	Has it not existed during twenty- four centuries?
45053	Has not his religion to be diligently instilled into him from the cradle?
45053	Has not the picture handed down by tradition, and afterwards committed to writing, often been that of a perfect man?
45053	Has the Boer War made us more virile?
45053	Has the Church, then, been deceived in her impression that a reconciliation has taken place between Christianity and Science?
45053	Has the rainbow- covenant prevented millions of people perishing since then in many a mighty flood?
45053	Have not the disciples of great teachers in the past invariably extolled the perfections of their masters?
45053	Have they ever dwelt upon their imperfections?
45053	Have we not here a satisfactory and perfectly natural explanation of the phenomena of conversion?
45053	Have we not seen, however, that primitive beliefs were the natural offspring of fear and wonder?
45053	Have we, then, any right to disturb people''s belief, and to lacerate their feelings?
45053	Have we?
45053	Have you ever, in the days of your early youth, played the game of"gossip"?
45053	He asks:"How can a people who are unable to count their own fingers possibly raise their minds so far as to admit even the rudiments of religion?"
45053	His prayer is therefore reasonable, and( may we not suppose?)
45053	How are we to set about their conversion?
45053	How came such a cultus to die out of the Roman and Byzantine Empire after making its way so far, and holding its ground so long?
45053	How can any argument be based upon the phantasms of a disordered brain?
45053	How can he believe in and worship the Unknown?
45053	How can it be said that the craving for a deity is instinctive?
45053	How can man be tolerant in matters concerning which God is alleged to have distinctly told us that He is not tolerant?
45053	How can the ethical argument be maintained in face of objections which continue to become ever graver as our knowledge increases?
45053	How can the will be at one and the same time fettered and free?
45053	How can they, how can we, profess to approve of a plan that brings only unhappiness in its train?
45053	How can they?
45053	How can we expect it?
45053	How comes it that in our own Government two of the most responsible posts are now occupied by declared Agnostics?
45053	How could it be otherwise when the Reformers were nothing if not Bibliolaters?
45053	How could it be otherwise?
45053	How do the Japanese hope to solve this new problem?
45053	How do we know that the same fate may not await the new arguments of the Christian evolutionist?
45053	How do you propose to replace the aid derived from belief?
45053	How does God view this perplexing situation?
45053	How does he come here?
45053	How few of us have ever had our belief tested by searching questions such as a cultured heathen would put if we tried to convert him?
45053	How is it possible that St. Matthew and St. John could have remained silent regarding such an event if they had really witnessed it?
45053	How is it that the claims of Christianity require all this vindication?
45053	How is it that they have simply disappeared without a word of explanatory comment in the Bible?
45053	How many are sceptical concerning the continuance of consciousness after death?
45053	How many, I wonder, have ever read the masterly exposition of the case for Haeckel-- Haeckel''s Critics Answered, by Joseph McCabe?
45053	How much is the intelligence of the Microcephalæ, the clucking"small heads"lately on show at the Hippodrome, capable of rapid improvement?
45053	How often has it not occurred that these same stories have been further exaggerated in the course of their transmission to succeeding generations?
45053	How, then, can it be said that man is by nature religious?
45053	How, then, can we dream of making this up in one or a few generations by artificial training of the ape?
45053	How, then, do we find it requiring all this explanation-- explanation which no ordinary adult can understand?
45053	How, then, does he explain the virtues of the Japanese?
45053	I would ask my readers kindly to put to themselves the following crucial questions: To what party do the religious bigots and their partisans belong?
45053	If God intended the sun to be a symbol of Christ, why have we never been told this before?
45053	If Jews and Christians still really believe in this story, how is it that the rainbow attracts not the slightest devout attention?
45053	If conscience, then, be fallible, how is it a Theistic proof?
45053	If it be urged that such trials of faith are useful, why should it be the thoughtful of future generations who are chiefly to be so tried?
45053	If man is not doing his best in obeying the behests of his Maker, how can he do right?
45053	If the pious lady who contributes towards mission work in China only knew of this, would she be pleased?
45053	If the symbolical sun leads such a great and heavenly flock, what must be said of the true and only begotten Son of God?
45053	If this be not word- spinning, then what is?
45053	If this be so, how comes it that such a vast number of the pious still adhere to the old ideas?
45053	If we are disposed to say: Cui bono?
45053	If we do not so believe, why do we say we do when we repeat the Creed?
45053	If we fail in our duty to them and they fall, should we add to our guilt by perpetrating on them unimaginable cruelties?
45053	If we inquired of the average religionist, should we find that his or her ideas had been revolutionised?
45053	If women only knew of these sayings, would they approve of the"appeal to the first six centuries"?
45053	If, then, God put upon the bridge a weight equal to double the bearing strain, how could God justly blame the bridge for falling?"
45053	In a lecture reported in the Tablet, Father Gerard voiced the growing feeling of apprehension when he referred to the"Do We Believe?"
45053	In our own times, was it not working men who first set in motion a revolution that will eventually reform Russia?
45053	In what Christian country would it be safe to have paper windows and walls, as in Japan?
45053	Is he, then, oblivious to Spinoza''s objection?
45053	Is it a kind act to expose our children to the pain of a rude awakening by instilling hopes that are destined to be ultimately shattered?
45053	Is it a wise act to allow their morality to be based upon foundations that are doomed to destruction?
45053	Is it not because religion has too often submitted to be"a''kept''priest to bless or ban as the passion or self- interest of its employer dictated?"
45053	Is it not because they are beginning to appreciate the perplexities of faith, and to learn that agnostics as a body can be, and are, good men?
45053	Is it not because they find that many are beginning to doubt its truth?
45053	Is it not far more likely that, with the spread of education, they will finally reject theology?
45053	Is it not on a peasantry wallowing in ignorance and steeped in superstition?
45053	Is it not purely accidental, purely the outcome of natural agencies, of effects produced by position, distance, etc.?
45053	Is it not the duty of the pastor to educate his flock?
45053	Is it not the orthodox Church and her supporters?
45053	Is it not time the truth should be told?
45053	Is it not time, then, for all thoughtful men and women to be up and doing?
45053	Is it not to the reactionary party, the party that sets its face against reform?
45053	Is it possible for the bulk of humanity, I ask, to possess the requisite spiritual discernment?
45053	Is it the law of a kind Creator that no animal shall rise to excellence except by being fatal to the life of others?
45053	Is it too much to say that these"experiences"differ only in degree from those of the dog who howls as certain notes affect him?
45053	Is it?
45053	Is not Buddhism, then, one of the great living religions of the present day?
45053	Is not Christianity the civilising agent of the world, and the origin of all morality and all good works?
45053	Is not Gautama Buddha worthy of men''s love, if we are to credit the best authenticated records of his life?
45053	Is not a man''s religion determined by the geographical accident of his birth?
45053	Is not the whole point of the sign lost, too, if it be no longer supernatural-- if it becomes a sort of juggling feat?
45053	Is not this tantamount to giving up belief in the Virgin- birth?
45053	Is such a contention warranted by acknowledged facts?
45053	Is that why we have paid them the compliment of adopting their dates for the birth and death of their Saviours?
45053	Is the miraculous feeding of the multitudes rendered more credible if we call it a natural instead of a supernatural occurrence?
45053	Is the struggle for existence, with all its attendant horrors, to be perpetuated?
45053	Is the æsthetic mind always perfectly balanced?
45053	Is there anything, then, that can in any way take the place of the ethical assistance[ 329] afforded by belief in God and an after- life?
45053	Is there consistent evidence of design?
45053	Is there, haply, no middle course that we may steer?
45053	Is there, then, no likelihood of Jesus and His disciples being familiar with the ideas of sun- worshippers?
45053	Is this no reflection upon Christianity''s power for good?
45053	Is this one of the reasons why the believer is able to continue a believer in spite of all disproof?
45053	Is this what he was taught, or what his children are now being taught?
45053	It may be said that such optimism is absurd, but is it really so?
45053	It would be easier, but would that be the life which Christ came down from heaven to show us and place within our reach?"
45053	J. Lawson- Forster, that"the Russian Church has become the tool of murderers"?
45053	May not the very subtlety of their intellects aid the work of their own self- deception?
45053	May we not reasonably expect, therefore, that morality will advance side by side with Rationalism?
45053	Morality.--Have we not seen[ 367] that morality can be taught apart from belief, and, indeed, that it is better so taught?
45053	Mr. W. M. Salter''s essay,"Why Live a Moral Life?"
45053	Now the nature of the malady has been diagnosed, and now the proper remedies have been discovered, will he not set about the cure?
45053	Now, do we allow our children to choose for themselves when we know they will choose wrongly?
45053	Now, what are these omissions in St. Mark?
45053	On the other hand, the Bishop of London believes this miracle to have occurred"because of the very humble, unimaginative[?
45053	On what do the reactionaries chiefly rely for the retention of their hold upon the bulk of the people?
45053	P. 160, lines 3- 4.--Why do we hear so little of this great discovery from the pulpit?
45053	P. 367, lines 21- 2.--Did not slavery flourish side by side with the Christian Church?
45053	P. N. Waggett to be wrong, what then?
45053	PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION What does a man seek when he examines his religious creed?
45053	Perhaps this pious opinion may have had something to do with the slow progress of palæontology?
45053	Perhaps, after all, the secret lay in the well- known reply to the question,"Is life worth living?"
45053	Prebendary W. A. Whitworth,[ 258]"was the original gospel of power which overran the world with such astonishing success?"
45053	Preliminary Remarks The View of Science Why Have Miracles Ceased?
45053	Regarding the particular explanation under consideration, one may be permitted to ask, How is it the water has lost its medicinal qualities?
45053	Religious Experience Mysticism and Conversion The Psychology of Prayer The Religious(?)
45053	Shall we then, after all, in these days, cause so very much distress by our confessions of unbelief?
45053	Should it not be a divine intuition of the right both in our religious beliefs and in our conduct?
45053	Should the Truth be Told?
45053	Should the Truth be Told?
45053	Sir Hiram Maxim wrote lately to the Literary Guide concerning his letter in the"Do We Believe?"
45053	So the fair show, Veiled one vast, savage, grim conspiracy Of mutual murder, from the worm to man, Who himself kills his fellow"?
45053	Suppose, however, that the consensus of opinion had been otherwise, what conclusion could we draw?
45053	Surely we are not to take seriously and literally the words of our great philosopher- poet when he says:"Let no such man be trusted"?
45053	Surely we may dismiss such a preposterous theory?
45053	Surely we must admit the inherent cruelty of the process?
45053	Surely, then, they could and should have been enlightened for their mission work up to the level, say, of some of our twentieth- century theologians?
45053	THE RELIGIOUS(?)
45053	Taking him seriously, can he also explain how it is that God permits devils to perform such pranks?
45053	Taking it to be so, what, after all, does it amount to?
45053	The Mohammedan sees a heaven peopled with houris; do we on that account accept the Koran as our guide?
45053	The Rationalist asks: What grounds have we for assuming that the existence of religious belief points to the existence of a religious instinct?
45053	The Virgin Birth.--According to Chinese legends, the sages Fohi(?
45053	The lecture is incorporated with others in a book entitled Is Christianity True?
45053	The plain question, however, is-- Had He, or had He not, the attribute of Omniscience?
45053	The question arises,"How, then, do the majority of our spiritual guides regard the accounts of miracles in the Bible?"
45053	The question arises: Why has Christianity stood in the way of woman''s cause?
45053	The writer of the letter, a lady, says:"Is n''t Mr. X( the rector of a certain country parish) a gauche man?
45053	The"Do We Believe?"
45053	Then is the Ascension a fact or is it not?
45053	They are beginning to speak out-- why should not you?
45053	This is certainly a fact in history; but can we safely build upon it the metaphysical theories of the Christian Faith?
45053	This reconstructed Christian(?)
45053	Though it may be a long time before our efforts are rewarded, is that any reason for not making a commencement in the right direction?
45053	Thus in the question now before us,"Is the First Cause a beneficent intelligence?"
45053	Time after time a terrible suspicion must have crossed his mind-- what if he were committing a heinous crime in persecuting the Christians?
45053	To give an example from history, did not slavery flourish side by side with the Christian Church?
45053	To what extent will not bias influence the brain to use its powers perversely?
45053	To what other historical personage but Christ can it apply?
45053	To what party do the Freethinkers belong?
45053	To whom did they appear?
45053	Unbelief?
45053	WHY HAVE MIRACLES CEASED?
45053	Was He God or was He man?
45053	Was it not mainly because he believed that it had a power to wipe away his own heinous crimes?
45053	Was it, for example, impossible for God to have decreed that sentient life should feed only on non- sentient life?
45053	Was it?
45053	We know that mistakes do occur through trusting to intuition, especially in the matter of beliefs; how, then, can we assume that it is infallible?
45053	Were not His hearers who misunderstood Him His own selected expositors?
45053	What about those inherited animal instincts?
45053	What also became of them afterwards?"
45053	What are the Christian evolutionist''s replies to these terrible attacks upon our Heavenly Father?"
45053	What are the actual instruments employed for maintaining their power?
45053	What are the causes of criminality?
45053	What belief did this immature man have to guide him?
45053	What can be the motive of the Omnipotent Revealer in allowing Himself to be misunderstood?
45053	What do these inquiries portend?
45053	What do we know of His life?
45053	What do we mean by''descended into Hell''?
45053	What does Science reply?
45053	What does it matter whether the gods had a vegetable or a solar origin, or arose, as Max Müller thought, from"a disease of language"?
45053	What grounds have we for assuming that Christianity is exempt from it?
45053	What has taught her this duty if it be not the growing spirit of nationalism?
45053	What has the Rationalist to say to this state of things?
45053	What have the apologists to say to this?
45053	What if, after all, the Crucified One were the real Saviour of mankind?
45053	What is the Rationalistic explanation of that essence of the"religious instinct,"belief in an after life?
45053	What is the cause?
45053	What is the purpose and drift of the various forms of existence around him?
45053	What is the use of a revelation which can be misunderstood in this way?
45053	What is this but a naïve admission that the proofs of the Deity''s benevolence are sadly wanting?
45053	What is to be done, then?
45053	What other solution can it have?
45053	What power is it that comes from the sun to give light and heat to all created things?
45053	What remedy does he propose to apply?
45053	What steps do the Churches propose to take concerning these disclosures?
45053	What was the result?
45053	What were the"Providential"methods of conversion?
45053	What will happen, for instance, when the knowledge of this falsehood becomes common property?
45053	What"ideas of God''s action in nature"are missionaries even now putting into the heads of their converts?
45053	What, then, is to become of the many?
45053	What, then, may I ask, had become of the"gifts at Pentecost"?
45053	When will they receive a"straight"answer?
45053	Whence did these instincts themselves originate?
45053	Where would the Theist fix the"commencement"?
45053	Which is in the right?
45053	Which of the conflicting explanations are we to take as correct?
45053	Which would you or I rather be-- lovely and unhappy, or ugly and happy?
45053	Whither is he going?
45053	Who are responsible for shameless acts of persecution, and, indeed, very largely for all the bloodshed, strife, and anarchy?
45053	Who could call modern theology simple?
45053	Who designed that?"
45053	Who more logical, apparently, than John Henry Newman, the coadjutor of Whately in his popular work on logic?
45053	Who were silent when they were not active opponents?
45053	Why Lead a Moral Life?
45053	Why Lead a Moral Life?
45053	Why are they neglected?
45053	Why be in such a hurry to''change the errors of the Church of Rome for those of the Church of the Future''?"
45053	Why did the Emperor Constantine embrace Christianity?
45053	Why do we allow our friends to think that we do so believe?
45053	Why do we pretend we do when we sit in church and listen to the account of the Ascension, and perhaps to a sermon on it?
45053	Why even now is it only put forward by a certain school of apologists in costly books that few will ever set their eyes upon?
45053	Why is Ascension Day one of our Holy Days?
45053	Why is it so ordained that bad should be the raw material of good?
45053	Why is this?
45053	Why is this?
45053	Why oddly?
45053	Why should He alone be a machine that can not go wrong?
45053	Why should I not follow nature just so far as I can get out of my nerves a maximum of pleasure at the expense of a minimum of pain?
45053	Why should it be better for men to be capable of-- or, rather, may we not say prone to-- sin?
45053	Why should not the Buddhist claim the same authority for the dogmas of his faith?
45053	Why should the man without a note of music in his composition have this much less chance of eternal salvation?"
45053	Why should their Maker grant them"glorious possibilities"which He has denied to Himself?
45053	Why should they?
45053	Why, in the name of all that is reasonable, should spiritual experiences be the prerogative of exceptional temperaments only?
45053	Why, of all the most undesirable states of mind, should morbidity assist the human being to have faith in God?
45053	Why, oh why, have we not the real picture of our Saviour, bringing our God nearer to us, and enabling us to focus our thoughts on Him?
45053	Why, then, do we hear so little of this great discovery from the pulpit?
45053	Why, then, should you hesitate to speak out?
45053	Why, then, whether we are Theists or Agnostics, should we not study and apply those laws for our moral improvement?
45053	Why?
45053	Why?
45053	Why?
45053	Why?
45053	Why?
45053	Will his children, when they grow up and begin to think for themselves, remain Christians?
45053	Will it not thereby assume its true form, whatever that may eventually prove to be, and is not that a consummation to be desired?
45053	Will it suffice?
45053	Will not the acceptance of this doctrine have a paralysing effect upon us?
45053	Will this argument bear analysis?
45053	With more modesty and( may I add?)
45053	[ 121] Are we, then, to regard this working of primitive thought as the working of the Holy Spirit?
45053	[ 131] Can we call this Progressive Revelation?
45053	[ 132] Will this sort of reasoning satisfy the average man?
45053	[ 133] How comes it that it is discovered so many years after the fulfilment of these unconscious prophecies of the pagans?
45053	[ 179] Can anyone imagine his Maker arranging all this on purpose?
45053	[ 210] Afterwards he puts the question,"Is the universe His body or His work?"
45053	[ 212] It apparently is so to certain subtle and biassed intellects; but the question is, Is it so, will it ever be so, to the average mortal?
45053	[ 238] Are our emotions reliable guides, or are they not?
45053	[ 239] Do you know a hymn tune by Lord Crofton, set to the words,"Bless''d are the pure in heart"?
45053	[ 276] Dr. Flint devotes the seventh of his Lectures on Anti- Theistic theories to the discussion of the question,"Are there tribes of Atheists?"
45053	[ 281] See Anti- Theistic Theories, Lecture vii.,"Are there Tribes of Atheists?"
45053	[ 299] Speaking of Chinese nature- worship, Dr. Smith says:"No prayer is uttered.... What is it that at such times the people worship?
45053	[ 300] As to there being no such thing as an atheistic people, are we to take no account of the cultured classes?
45053	[ 304] Are there not many English people strangely like the Chinese in an umbrella- patronage of Christianity?
45053	[ 308] Can this be said of our Bible?
45053	[ 312] How many Toyamas and Fukuzawas are there not in modern Christendom?
45053	[ 314] Is not this a perfectly natural explanation of the craving for immortality?
45053	[ 319] One phase of this failure was well shown by"Oxoniensis,"in his letters which started and ended the"Do We Believe?"
45053	[ 349] Presuming that we have come to the conclusion that Christianity is not true, are we to say so, or are we to be silent?
45053	[ 363]( h) IS A NEW RELIGION[ 364] REQUIRED?
45053	[ 37] Could any two views be more diametrically opposite?
45053	[ 388] How is it, then, that Religionist and Rationalist arrive at such contrary conclusions?
45053	[ 49] See p. 31 of What is Christianity?
45053	[ 6] Are there not indications, moreover, everywhere in the literature of the day?
45053	[ Had we not every reason thus to imagine on the authority of Holy Scripture?]
45053	[ Why not?
45053	[ Yet how much hangs upon the trustworthiness of this same Jewish tradition, and how much else may not the Church have wrongfully accepted?]

45053	who are church and chapel- goers would be reduced to-- what shall we say?
37234	A new birth unto righteousness?
37234	All hope?
37234	All inspiration?
37234	All warmth?
37234	Before all things?
37234	Dost thou not think that thou art bound to believe, and to do as they have promised for thee?
37234	How many parts are there in a sacrament? 37234 How many sacraments hath Christ ordained in his Church?"
37234	How,he asks,"can thought be conveyed to a man''s mind except through words?"
37234	I love and forgive, weak as I am; what must be the depth of the love and forgiveness of God?
37234	If there be a Godall the rest follows, but_ is there a God at all_ in the sense in which the word is generally used?
37234	Is not reciprocity such a word?
37234	Lord God of Sabaoth,or of"Hosts;"is this a reasonable name for one supposed to be a"God of peace?"
37234	None other?
37234	Send his grace to me and to all people?
37234	Then why appeal to it at all?
37234	They might have stood:nay; for was not"the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world?"
37234	What doth the Lord require of thee,is the reproving answer,"but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
37234	What if the sin perpetuates itself, if the prolonged misery may be the offspring of the prolonged guilt?
37234	What is required of persons to be baptised? 37234 What is required of them who come to the Lord''s supper?
37234	What is the inward and spiritual grace? 37234 What is the outward visible sign, or form, in baptism?
37234	What is to be our conception of morality, is it to base itself on obedience to God, or is it to be sought for itself and its effects?
37234	What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37234	What word will serve as a rule for the whole life?
37234	Where is God?
37234	Why was the Sacrament of the Lord''s Supper ordained? 37234 Your creed may do well enough to live by,"say- objectors,"but is it good to die by?"
37234	_ Is our mental attitude to be kneeling or standing?_When we admit that the Deity is veiled from us, how can we pray?
37234	_ Is our mental attitude to be kneeling or standing?_When we admit that the Deity is veiled from us, how can we pray?

37234	A child is told not to put his hand into the fire, he does so, and is burnt; the burning is a punishment, he is told; for what?
37234	After all, what does Prayer mean, boldly stated?
37234	Again, how can a"spirit"conceive a material body?
37234	Again, if we allow design we must ask,"how far does design extend?"
37234	Again, the first question is, what do we mean by intelligence?
37234	All beauty from life?
37234	Allowing to the full the honour due to the heroism of the nurse, what are we to say to the patient who accepts the sacrifice?
37234	Always ready to fall; but is God, then, always lying in wait to catch us tripping, and crush us with his judgments?
37234	And how far is it true that sickness is, in any sense, the visitation of God for moral delinquencies?
37234	And if not all, on what principle can we separate that which is designed from that which is not?
37234	And in the first place, the Devil himself-- of whom so decided and familiar a mention, as of one whom everybody knows, is made-- where lives he?
37234	And is the idea of God a reverent one?
37234	And is this the life which we are to regard as the model of heavenly beauty?
37234	And surely such power is not to be wasted?
37234	And the ear of man can not hear, and the eye of man can not see; But if we could see and hear, this Vision-- were it not He?
37234	And those which are not baptized?
37234	And what has constructive Rationalism to say to us, when we stand face to face with the mighty destroyer of all living things?
37234	And what is this"Faith"which we must keep whole and undefiled if we would save our souls alive?
37234	And what of the poor wounded, groaning below in the cockpit, whose heads the Lord hath not covered?
37234	And where is"the right hand"of Almighty God?
37234	And who is this who thus dethrones our heavenly Father?
37234	And who made the sinners?
37234	And who shall venture to say that he knows the mind of the Spirit better than the Spirit Himself?"
37234	And why will the laity not give utterance to their thoughts on these and all such objectionable parts of the Service?
37234	Are Jehu''s lying and slaughter right, because right in the eyes of Jehovah?
37234	Are heaven and hell both all round the world, and if so, why is one"up"and the other"down"?
37234	Are our eyes to be fixed on heaven or on earth?
37234	Are our senses deceived?
37234	Are the fetters which we are breaking for ourselves to be welded together again for the young limbs of our children?
37234	Are the old cruel laws of witchcraft right, because Jehovah doomed the witch to death?
37234	Are the ordeals of the Middle Ages right, because derived from the laws of Jehovah?
37234	At this point we are commonly overwhelmed with Paul''s notable argument--"Nay, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?"
37234	Belief in hell takes all beauty from virtue; who cares for obedience only rendered through fear?
37234	Besides, how can the child be taught to believe in one God if he finds three different gods all doing different things for him?
37234	Besides, what certainty can there be that the Holy Ghost is given at all?
37234	But can we think of power of choice in connection with God?
37234	But has the nurse a right to sacrifice her own life-- and an injury to health is a sacrifice of life-- for an obviously unequivalent advantage?
37234	But how do they nourish the soul?
37234	But how is it possible for us to distinguish whence these thoughts come?
37234	But if he be most merciful, whence all this need of weeping and wailing?
37234	But may he have respect to the acts and the sufferings of his sinless son?
37234	But persevere:"As explained by whom?
37234	But suppose the enemy is in the right, what then?
37234	But supposing there were a devil, and supposing he had works, how could the child renounce him?
37234	But taking the Bible as a rule of life, are we to copy its saints and its laws?
37234	But was it loving to create those who would only suffer for his glory?
37234	But we knew before that God was perfect: an example?
37234	But what does this Absolute imply?
37234	But what have all these in common with the demands of the Eternal Righteousness, and how can pain atone for sin?
37234	But what is the propitiatory element in the Christian Atonement?
37234	But why should the grace be"inward,"and why is the soul thought of as_ inside_ the body, instead of all through and over it?
37234	But, hanging on the cross, he said to the penitent thief:"_ To- day_ shalt thou be with me in Paradise:"is Paradise the same hell?
37234	By any one, to whom for the purpose of the inquiry the child has access, was he ever seen?
37234	By what marks and symptoms is he to know whether it really is or is not going on within him, as he is forced to> say it is?
37234	Can His knowledge be imperfect, His mercy increased?
37234	Can His sentence be swayed by prejudice, or made harsh by over- severity?
37234	Can a more ludicrous position be imagined; and Adam?
37234	Can any teaching be more utterly unwholesome?
37234	Can any woman be more degraded than she who only values her womanhood as a means of gain, who drinks, fights, and steals?
37234	Can any words be too strong whereby to denounce a doctrine so shameful, an injustice so glaring?
37234	Can anything be more unreal?
37234	Can not Christ"inherit the kingdom of God"?
37234	Can the one living and true God die to reconcile himself to himself, and to offer himself up a sacrifice to himself to appease his own wrath?
37234	Children are asked:"How will your body be when the devil has been striking it every moment for a hundred million years without stopping?"
37234	Could He, the impassive, suffer?
37234	Did not God, according to orthodoxy, plan all things with an infallible perception that the events foreseen must occur?
37234	Did not the old Fathers do well in making the awful ransom a matter between Jesus and the devil?
37234	Do people ever try to carry the mind back to the time before this"making,"and realise the period when nothing existed?
37234	Do they expect God to believe them, or to be deceived by such hypocrisy?
37234	Does God perceive what he did not know before?
37234	Does He accept sacrifice?
37234	Does he compare one fact with another?
37234	Does he draw conclusions from this correlation of perceptions, and thus judge what is best?
37234	Does he punish gladly, and keep his blow suspended, to fall at the first chance our weakness gives him?
37234	Does he remember, as we remember, long past events?
37234	Does not their own Bible tell them that the"potter hath power over the clay,"and, further, that"we are the clay and thou art the potter?"
37234	Does prayer make bad ships more seaworthy, or supply the place of stout iron and sound wood?
37234	Does the All- strong require to stir up his strength before he can crush a few men?
37234	Does the sentimental weakness of our age shrink from this doctrine, and whimper out that it is cold and stern?
37234	Duty is colder than"filial obedience?"
37234	Either the patient or the nurse must commit an heroic suicide for the sake of the other-- which shall it be?
37234	First,"to believe in him;"but how can the child believe in him until evidence be offered of his existence?
37234	For in answer to the question,"What is thy duty towards God?"
37234	For the Mighty, for the Incomprehensible, what can we do?
37234	For what does the prayer imply?
37234	For what has been the result of theology upon the whole?
37234	Four different things the child is to love God with: What does each mean?
37234	God makes man imperfect, frail, sinful, utterly unable to keep perfectly a perfect law: he therefore fails, and is-- what?
37234	Had they not God''s Own account of His creation, and did he pretend to know more about the matter than God Himself?
37234	Has he at least borne the pangs of remorse for us, the stings of conscience?
37234	Has he borne the physical consequences of sin, such as the loss of health caused by intemperance of all kinds?
37234	Has he borne the social consequences, shame, loss of credit, and so on?
37234	Having recited this, to him( as to everyone else) unintelligible creed, he is asked,"What dost thou chiefly learn in these articles of thy belief?"
37234	His passion arouses your sympathies, but you see no pathos in the passion of the poor?
37234	Hitherto the supernatural has always been the makeweight of human ignorance; is it, in truth, this and nothing else?
37234	How can that be a visitation of God for moral transgressions, which can be prevented by man if he attends to physical laws?
37234	How can we be sure that the Bishop is not an impostor, going through a conjuror''s gestures and mutterings, and no magic results accruing?
37234	How could our blessed Redeemer, after accomplishing the work of our salvation, ascend from a revolving earth?
37234	How does God protect"the persons of us, thy servants, and the fleet in which we serve?"
37234	How does he feel, now that the Holy Ghost is_ sanctifying_ him?
37234	How is heart to be distinguished from mind, soul, and strength?
37234	How is it that he would feel, if no such operation were going on within him?
37234	How is this to end?
37234	How many Prayers have gone up to the Father in heaven from his children overwhelmed in the sea, and drowning in floods, and encircled by fire?
37234	How many believe in the"everlasting damnation,"of the same verse, or really consider themselves in the smallest danger of it?
37234	How many cries of anguish from beside the beds of the dying, and the fresh graves of the newly- dead?
37234	How many passionate appeals of patriots and martyrs, of exiles and of slaves?
37234	How many really care to be delivered"from the crafts and assaults of the devil,"or believe in the existence of the devil at all?
37234	How, then, can the babe_ deserve_ God''s wrath and damnation?
37234	How_ can_ sin be forgiven?
37234	Humane child of human parents, or divine Son of the Almighty God?
37234	If God, being righteous, as we believe Him to be, regarded man with anger because of man''s sinfulness, what is obviously the required propitiation?
37234	If he be most merciful, what danger can there be of the bitter pains of eternal death?
37234	If he, who is God, is content to pardon and embrace, what further do sinners require?
37234	If his hearers regarded_ them_ as divine, what could he say to exalt_ him_ except that he was ever with God, nay, was himself God?
37234	If intellect and love reveal a design, what is revealed by brutality and hate?
37234	If man''s mind imply a master- mind, how much more that of God?
37234	If my thought is not mine, but God''s, how am I to know this?
37234	If not, then to what purpose is this_ renouncement?_ and, once more, what is it that is meant by it?"
37234	If not, then to what purpose is this_ renouncement?_ and, once more, what is it that is meant by it?"
37234	If not, what is the use of praying over it?
37234	If prayer be so efficacious, would it not be cheaper to use less wood and more prayer?
37234	If some phenomena are designed, why not all?
37234	If the answer be, that all this refers to the manhood of Jesus, then we inquire,"Is Christ divided?"
37234	If the latter are not the result of design, how did they become introduced into the universe?
37234	If the ship is not safe without prayer, will prayer make it so?
37234	If the whole affair be miraculous, why try to compromise matters with nature, by making this kind of pseudo- father?
37234	If they are vile, why do n''t they mend, instead of saying the same thing every year?
37234	If this be so, is it more reasonable to pray about things in the future than things in the past?
37234	If this be so, what becomes of the"resurrection of the flesh,"spoken of in the Baptismal and Visitation Offices?
37234	If we come to assumptions, have not I as much right to my assumption as my neighbour has to his?
37234	In our fear we long to escape from Him altogether and ask if this be possible?
37234	In the name of common sense, why?
37234	Inexorable law in the place of God?
37234	Instead of the encouragement we had found, what does Christianity offer us?--a perfect life?
37234	Is God supposed to rejoice over the sufferings of the defeated?
37234	Is God thus at the mercy of man?
37234	Is He Almighty?
37234	Is He impartial?
37234	Is He just?
37234	Is He loving?
37234	Is He truthful?
37234	Is Hosea''s marriage commendable, because commanded by Jehovah?
37234	Is Jesus sitting at the right hand of a pure spirit, who has neither body nor parts?
37234	Is Prayer approved by experience?
37234	Is Prayer consistent with the_ foreknowledge_ of God?
37234	Is Prayer consistent with the_ wisdom_ of God?
37234	Is Prayer consistent with_ trust in the goodness_ of God?
37234	Is a supreme selfishness to crown unselfishness at last?
37234	Is any dogmatic teaching to be a part of their moral training, and is the dogmatism against which we have rebelled to be revived in a new form?
37234	Is he easily pacified when offended?
37234	Is he everything or nothing?
37234	Is he to be thanked for slaying his creatures?
37234	Is it considered necessary to press God vehemently to hurry himself?
37234	Is it consistent to ask Christ to deliver us from His wrath?
37234	Is it in any such danger as that of having, at any time, to his knowledge, any sort of dealings with him?
37234	Is it more noble to relieve the sufferings of strangers, than to relieve the sufferings of his family?
37234	Is it possible to imagine things coming into existence,"something"emerging from where before"nothing"was?
37234	Is it quite honest to say in God''s praise a thing which we know to be untrue, and must we be unscientific because we are devotional?
37234	Is it supposed to train a child in the habit of truthfulness to make him recite as a religious lesson what is utterly and thoroughly untrue?
37234	Is it well to look to the purity of another as a makewight for our personal shortcomings?
37234	Is man''s power greater than God''s, and can he thus play with the thunderbolts of the divine displeasure?
37234	Is not sickness likely rather to bring out and strengthen mental faults than to weaken them?
37234	Is not this idea also the product of ignorance?
37234	Is not this the prayer of utter ignorance, the prayer of an unscientific age?
37234	Is our mental attitude to be that of kneeling or standing?
37234	Is prayer to God reasonable and helpful, the natural cry of a child for help from a Father in Heaven?
37234	Is the future to be like the past, and is science finally to obliterate the conception of a personal God?
37234	Is the man after God''s own heart a worthy model for imitation?
37234	Is the power to lead this life for ever to be our reward for self- devotion and self- sacrifice here on earth?
37234	Is the robbery of the Egyptians right, because commanded by Jehovah?
37234	Is there any impertinence so extreme as the prayer which"pleads"with the Deity?
37234	Is there one father, however brutalized, who would deliberately keep his child in sin because of a childish fault?
37234	Is this a wholesome sentiment, either as regards our feelings towards God or our efforts towards holiness?
37234	Is this addressed to God, or is it not?
37234	It lands them, it is true, in the most extreme Pantheism, but what of that?
37234	It was just before this was written that I read Charles Bradlaugh''s"Plea for Atheism"and his"Is there a God?".
37234	Jesus answered them,"Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?
37234	John Wesley said that belief in witchcraft was incumbent on all those who believed the Bible, and if witchcraft was possible then, why not now?
37234	Just try asking your mentor,"_ whose_ Christianity am I to accept?"
37234	Life would be impossible were all this really believed; what priest could live in reasonable comfort if this were true and were realised?
37234	Love, Ruler of the world permeated through and through with pain, and sorrow, and sin?
37234	Love, mainspring of a nature whose cruelty is sometimes appalling?
37234	Love?
37234	Love?
37234	Love?
37234	Love?
37234	Marvels?
37234	May it not justly be said that belief in the Trinity in Unity is the negation of thought, and that faith is only possible where reason ends?
37234	May we hope to see Him in this world?
37234	Moses and Elijah, Isaiah and all the prophets?
37234	North, south, east, or west?
37234	Now in all sober seriousness what does this mean?
37234	Now, how far is all this consistent with justice?
37234	ON THE DEITY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH"WHAT think ye of Christ, whose son is he?"
37234	Obedience to your ideal of goodness and love, is it not so?
37234	Of course, the majority of English clergymen believe nothing of this kind; but then why do they read a service which implies it?
37234	Of what feelings is it productive?
37234	Or is it, on the other hand, a useless appeal to an unknown and irresponsible force?
37234	Perhaps he has struck at the root of evil, and has put away sin itself out of a redeemed world?
37234	Powers?
37234	Prayer?
37234	Redemption?
37234	Salvation?
37234	Shall the life be sacrificed, which is torture to its possessor, useless to society, and whose bounds are already clearly marked?
37234	Sin injures man already, why should he be further injured by endless agony?
37234	Surely all who are redeemed must also be sanctified, and should not the two passages touch only the same people?
37234	Surely this is not the spirit which breathed in,"If ye love them which love you, what thanks have ye?...
37234	Tell me how many there be?
37234	That there is no inspiration in the Bible?
37234	The Christian name of the child being given in answer to the first question of the Catechism, the second inquiry proceeds:"Who gave you this name?"
37234	The Nature of God, what is it?
37234	The belief was vowed before he had examined it; why should he profess it?
37234	The body and blood must be somehow in the bread and wine, and how is it managed that one part shall nourish the soul while the rest goes to the body?
37234	The child itself, did it ever see him?
37234	The child, has it ever happened to it to have any dealings with him?
37234	The commandments recited, the child is asked--"What dost thou chiefly learn by these commandments?"
37234	The idea, however, of"ransom"is connected with the work of Jesus, and the question arose,"to whom is this ransom paid?"
37234	The old wine is being poured into new bottles; what will be the result?
37234	The ordinary man or woman, on hearing this assertion, would probably answer--"Life sacred?
37234	The promises were made without his consent; why should he keep them?
37234	The question is rather this:"What are the limits of the religious education which it is wise to impose on the young?
37234	The questions, so familiar to every mother,"Can God see me?"
37234	The sick man might be blamed for falling because he did not lean on a stronger arm, but suppose he was too weak to grasp it?
37234	The unreality deepens in the next answer which is put into his mouth--"What did your godfathers and god- mothers then for you?"
37234	The whole office for infants reads like a play: the clergyman asks that the infant"may receive remission of his sins;"what sins?
37234	Then how is duty cold?
37234	Then why should God be wrath with him because he hath not?
37234	Then, in the name of candour and common sense, why call that just in God which we see would be so unjust and immoral in man?
37234	There can not be perception, memory, comparison, or judgment; but may there not be a perfect mind, unchanging, calm, and still?
37234	There is no warmth in brightening the lot of the sad, in reforming abuses, in establishing equal justice for rich and poor?
37234	This process, then, what is it?
37234	To be strengthened?
37234	To such-- and I meet many such-- I would suggest one very simple thought: does"Christianity"give any more certainty than rationalism?
37234	To which is he to bend his ear?
37234	Two armies ask for victory; which is to be crowned?
37234	Two people pray for exactly opposite things; whose Prayers are to be answered?
37234	Warmth in imagining the cloud- glories of heaven, but none in creating substantial glories on earth?
37234	Was Jesus inspired when he taught that the whole law was comprehended in one saying, namely,"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself?"
37234	Was he present when God created the world, that he spoke so positively about its shape?
37234	Was it not rather a gigantic, an inconceivable selfishness?
37234	Was it probable, further, that God would have become incarnate for the sake of a world that was only one out of many revolving round the sun?
37234	Was not this accurate prescience based upon the inflexibility of God''s Eternal purposes?
37234	Was not this rendering evil for evil, railing for railing?
37234	Was this love?
37234	We are told that Christ took away the sins of the world; we have a right to ask,"how?"
37234	What God could do is no measure of man''s powers: what have we in common with this"God- man?"
37234	What became of his internal economy?
37234	What binding force can such promises as these have upon the conscience of anyone when he grows up?
37234	What common factor is there between a lie, and the"lake of fire in which all liars shall have their part?"
37234	What could reason, with all its vaunted powers, tell us of the long- past creation of the world?
37234	What could this pseudo- science give them in exchange for such a revelation as that?
37234	What do they all prove?
37234	What do we mean by"will?"
37234	What do you mean by filial obedience?
37234	What does this pleading of the Son on behalf of sinners imply?
37234	What easier pillow to rest the dying head on than the memory of a useful life?
37234	What freedom had Adam and Eve in Paradise?
37234	What has become of the"flesh and bones"which Christ had after his resurrection and with which, according to the 4th Article, he has gone into heaven?
37234	What has he then borne for us?
37234	What idea can a child have of conception by the Holy Ghost and being born of the Virgin Mary, in both which recondite mysteries he avows his belief?
37234	What is all this?
37234	What is he?
37234	What is the image of God?
37234	What is the inward and spiritual grace given unto the baby in baptism?
37234	What is the sentiment with which Canon Liddon closes a sermon on the death of Christ?
37234	What is thy duty toward thy neighbour?
37234	What is your hope?
37234	What kind of God is this who is to"come again"to a place where He is not now?
37234	What matter?
37234	What more do they want than an almighty reinforcement?
37234	What should we think of an earthly father who tortured one of his children in order to teach the others how to bear pain?
37234	What sins can a baby a week old have committed?
37234	What was the general aspect of affairs when there was"nothing?"
37234	What would happen if some consecrated bread and wine chanced to be left by mistake, and a stray comer into the vestry eat it unknowingly?
37234	What would he have said of the whitewash of unimputed righteousness?
37234	What, all?
37234	What, then, becomes of man''s boasted free will?
37234	What?
37234	When we see that that law is inexorable, of what use to protest against its absolute sway?
37234	When will men learn to stand upright on their feet, instead of thus crouching on their knees?
37234	When will they learn to strive to live nobly, and then to fear no celestial anger, either in life or in death?
37234	Where is"under the earth"?
37234	Where, too, is that Right Hand of God to which He went, in this new universe without top or bottom?
37234	Which be they?
37234	Which is right, the wrath or the love?
37234	Whither did He go?
37234	Who called them into the world without their own consent?
37234	Who could honour such a king as George IV.?
37234	Who is he?
37234	Who made it impossible for them to go to Jesus unless he drew them, and then did not draw them?
37234	Who made them with an evil nature?
37234	Who moulded them as the potter the clay?
37234	Who then will dare to push himself in between man and a God like this?
37234	Why do they put off their honesty when they put on their surplices?
37234	Why do they use words in a non- natural sense?
37234	Why in arguing from the evidences of adaptation should we assume that they are planned by a mind?
37234	Why may he predicate creation of one half of the universe, and I not predicate it of the other half?
37234	Why should I be called on to escape like a criminal from that which I do not deserve?
37234	Why should I be logical in one argument and illogical in another?
37234	Why should illness of the body correct illness of the mind; does pain cure fretfulness, or fever increase truthfulness?
37234	Why should one sinner die unshriven, when such death may be prevented by the diligence of the priest?
37234	Why should people thus play a farce beside the grave?
37234	Why should the child trust God''s mercy and goodness to protect him?
37234	Why should we pretend to God that we are Jews, when both He and we know perfectly well that we are nothing of the kind?
37234	Why should women be taught thus to abase themselves?
37234	Why then are infants baptised when by reason of their tender age they can not perform them?
37234	Why, am I not equally justified in assuming, if I please, that matter created spirit?
37234	Why, because I lie and forget God, should I be punished with fire and brimstone?
37234	Why?
37234	Why?
37234	Will not God, of his own accord, do things at the best possible time?
37234	Will the orthodox accept this position?
37234	Wilt thou delight thyself to think that God will invent torments for thee, sinner?"
37234	Wisdom and understanding are easily perceptible: are they wiser after Confirmation than they were before?
37234	Would it not be well if the Church would publish an"Explanation of the Catechism,"so that the children may know what they have renounced?
37234	Yet surely no one will contend that all these are"Prayer- hearing and Prayer- answering"Gods?
37234	Yet, is it more rational to ask him to change the things that are coming, and to alter the already- written chart of the future?
37234	You find warmth in the church, but none in the home?
37234	You"have tears to shed for him,"but none for the sufferer at your doors?
37234	_ Down_ into hell; which way is down from a round globe?
37234	a baby die unto sin?
37234	and further, is it possible for a Divine Being to make haste?
37234	and how many"former sins"are they as continually repenting of?
37234	and is heaven identical with both?
37234	and on what principle of selection shall I choose the one I am to curve?
37234	and yet was Confucius uninspired when, in answer to the question,"What one word would serve as a rule to one''s whole life?"
37234	and, since He is one with God, is He sitting at his own right hand?
37234	before doing that which is lawful and right?
37234	before repentance?
37234	before turning away from our wickedness?
37234	but it is only just born, surely there can be no need that it should be born over again so soon?
37234	can a past act be undone, or the hands go back on the sun- dial of Time?
37234	could He, the immortal, die?
37234	could He, the intangible, be crucified?
37234	could He, the omnipresent, be buried in one spot of earth, rise from it, and ascend to some place where he was not the moment before?
37234	do they know more?
37234	do they understand more rapidly?
37234	does it tend to the promotion of human happiness?"
37234	doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father?
37234	flesh and bones among pure spirits?
37234	for what sins can he ask forgiveness?
37234	from what sins can he need release?
37234	heart to pulse where no oxygen can purify the blood?
37234	how can it, when it is unconscious of sin, and therefore can not sin?
37234	how did something emerge where"nothing"was before?
37234	if God filled all space, was he"nothing?"
37234	if all are redeemed, what is the meaning of the phrase that"all the elect people of God"are sanctified by the Holy Ghost?
37234	if all are redeemed, why should he specially thank God that he himself is called and saved?
37234	if of no use, why make all this parade about giving a thing whose gift makes the recipient no richer than he was before?
37234	if of none effect can his presence be of any use, of the very smallest advantage?
37234	if there be no perceptible difference is the presence of the Holy Spirit of none effect?
37234	if we should condemn the earthly father as wickedly cruel, why should the same action be righteous when done by the Father in heaven?
37234	is the existence of nothing a conceivable idea?
37234	it starts from a different level: a Saviour?
37234	lungs to breathe where no air is?
37234	not a syllable conveying any such meaning:"that we may worship him, serve him, and obey him"?
37234	one mother who would aimlessly torture her son, keeping him alive but to torment?
37234	one or many?
37234	or are the signs of Jeremiah and Ezekiel the less childish and indecent because they are prefaced with,"thus saith Jehovah?"
37234	or has God changed his mind as to the proper method of dealing with such persons?
37234	or is it more heroic to die of voluntarily- contracted fever, than of voluntarily- taken chloroform?
37234	that it is of primary importance to the welfare of mankind that a false theory on this point should be destroyed and a more reasonable faith accepted?
37234	the form of man sitting on the throne of God?
37234	was he made originally with a rib too much, to provide against the emergency, or did he go, for the rest of his life, with a rib too little?
37234	we can not be safer than we are with God: an Advocate?
37234	we need none with our Father: a Substitute to endure God''s wrath for us?
37234	we urge;"why talk of justice in the matter if we are totally unable to judge as to the rights and wrongs of the case?"
37234	what terrible heresy have we been unwittingly committing ourselves to?
37234	which Prayer is he to answer?
46986	And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 46986 Art thou loose from a wife?
46986	Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
46986	But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? 46986 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?"
46986	Friend, wherefore art thou come?
46986	Have ye never read what David did?... 46986 Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?"
46986	How would such a theory affect the received chronology concerning Christ? 46986 Is Christ divided?
46986	Is poverty of spirit a blessing? 46986 Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?"
46986	Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
46986	Pilate then went out unto them[ the Jews], and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? 46986 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?
46986	Then Judas which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? 46986 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, saying, Master which is the great commandment in the law?
46986	Who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
46986	Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods?
46986	Why callest thou me good? 46986 Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?"
46986	Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners?
46986	Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
