| 38621 | A question may very properly be asked here, what are these opinions, judgments, admissions, pre- judgments,& c.? |
| 38621 | A question of great importance here presents itself: By what test shall we determine whether the Will is, or is not, in full harmony with the law? |
| 38621 | Are not the commands requiring them fully met in such acts? |
| 38621 | Are they not, on the other hand, presented as voluntary states of mind, or as acts of Will? |
| 38621 | Are they real affirmations of the Intelligence, or are they exclusively phenomena of the Will? |
| 38621 | Are they real affirmations of the Intelligence? |
| 38621 | As distinguished from the action of the Sensibility, what can it be, but a voluntary state, as presented in the Old Testament? |
| 38621 | Ask him why he makes this declaration? |
| 38621 | At another, it is said to be nothing but Certainty, or moral Certainty,& c. Now the question arises, what is this Certainty? |
| 38621 | But on what ground is this conclusion warranted? |
| 38621 | But who does not see, that it is a most vicious reasoning in a circle? |
| 38621 | But yet can we not from analogy form such an idea? |
| 38621 | But, gentlemen, why must there be this contradiction? |
| 38621 | Can He not exercise the very sovereignty which infinite wisdom and love desire? |
| 38621 | Can a being who is not a_ moral_ agent sin? |
| 38621 | Can the Intelligence affirm that a state of moral impurity is better than a state of moral rectitude? |
| 38621 | Can we conceive of a greater absurdity than that? |
| 38621 | Can we conceive of a greater absurdity than this? |
| 38621 | Did ever a greater absurdity dance in the brain of a philosopher or theologian? |
| 38621 | Did he obey his Intelligence, or Sensibility there? |
| 38621 | Did the prior goodness of David make his acts of adultery and murder partly good and partly bad? |
| 38621 | Do we not know, however, as absolutely as we know anything, that we_ can not_ affirm perceived contradictions? |
| 38621 | Do we not necessarily affirm his virtue to be great in proportion to the strength of the propensity thus perfectly subjected to the Moral law? |
| 38621 | Does the Will never harmonize with the Sensibility in opposition to the Intelligence? |
| 38621 | Else why tell an individual he is to blame for being in such circumstances, and not to place himself there again? |
| 38621 | Has God given, or does our own reason give us, a standard of moral judgment of which no one can form a conception, or give us a definition? |
| 38621 | Has a God of truth and justice ever laid upon men such a requisition as that? |
| 38621 | Has not God himself affirmed in one revelation what he has denied in another? |
| 38621 | Has the Most High given two such revelations as this? |
| 38621 | Have we any reason for thus imposing upon the Deity the limitation of our own feebleness? |
| 38621 | How can Necessitarians meet this argument? |
| 38621 | How can an equal liability to two distinct and opposite courses, be a ground of assurance, that we shall choose the one, and avoid the other? |
| 38621 | How can the Necessitarian account for such facts in consistency with his theory? |
| 38621 | How do we know that these two facts are not perfectly consistent with each other? |
| 38621 | How do you remove them according to your theory? |
| 38621 | How long would it take him to compose himself to sleep in this manner? |
| 38621 | How shall we account for the absence of self- reproach in the former instance, and for its presence in the latter? |

| 38621 | How then can a mind, thus constituted, generate and confirm the habit of sinning? |
| 38621 | How then can creatures"sin_ in_ and_ through_ another"six thousand years before their own existence commenced? |
| 38621 | How, I ask, can the doctrine of Necessity be extricated from such a difficulty? |
| 38621 | How, it is asked, shall we account, on this theory, for_ particular_ volitions? |
| 38621 | If A and B are to the Intelligence, in all respects, absolutely equal, how can the Sensibility impel the Will towards A instead of B? |
| 38621 | If this is so, sin, in all instances, is a mere blunder, a necessary result of a necessary misjudgment of the Intelligence? |
| 38621 | In such an assertion, is he not wise, not only_ above_, but_ against_ what is written? |

| 38621 | In what sense, then, is or is not, man free, according to the doctrine of Necessity? |
| 38621 | Is it in the power of the Intelligence to affirm guilt of that creature? |
| 38621 | Is it or is it not, real Necessity, and nothing else? |
| 38621 | Is it possible for me, in my present circumstances, to avoid sin? |
| 38621 | Is it so? |
| 38621 | Is it the doctrine really held by those who professedly agree with him? |
| 38621 | Is not the guilt of the individual aggravated in proportion to the depth and intensity of the feeling which he is endeavoring to suppress? |
| 38621 | Is not this loving with all the heart? |
| 38621 | Is not this the strangest idea of Natural Ability as constituting the foundation of obligation, of which the human mind ever tried to conceive? |
| 38621 | Is not this your real meaning? |
| 38621 | Is not your Natural Ability this, that I might obey if I did obey? |
| 38621 | Is not_ existence_ necessary to moral agency? |
| 38621 | Is there any virtue at all in such a state of mind? |
| 38621 | Is this Liberty as distinguished from Necessity the liberty which lays the foundation of moral obligation? |
| 38621 | Is this Liberty, the only liberty of man, a liberty which may be destroyed by chains, bolts, and bars? |
| 38621 | Is this a true exposition of the Government of God? |
| 38621 | Is this the philosophy of the Will pre- supposed in the Bible? |
| 38621 | Is this the philosophy pre- supposed in the Bible? |
| 38621 | Is this the philosophy pre- supposed in the Bible? |
| 38621 | Is this the principle on which the decisions of that Day are based? |
| 38621 | Is this your idea, when you say, you can do as you please? |
| 38621 | Is this, for example, the doctrine of Edwards? |
| 38621 | It becomes a very important inquiry with us, To what extent, and in what sense, is this maxim true? |
| 38621 | It is therefore a very legitimate, interesting, and profitable inquiry-- what is the system of mental science assumed as true in the Bible? |
| 38621 | It must be so, if the doctrine of Liberty is not, and that of Necessity is, the doctrine of the Bible? |
| 38621 | Now an important question arises, By what_ standard_ shall we judge of the moral character of intentions? |
| 38621 | Now, how happens it, that no man holding the doctrine of Liberty was ever known to deny that of obligation, or of merit and demerit? |
| 38621 | Now, what are these opinions, judgments, and notions? |
| 38621 | Now, what is the doctrine of Ability, according to this scheme? |
| 38621 | Of what use can the internal revelation be, but to render us necessarily sceptical in respect to the external? |
| 38621 | Shall he plead these in excuse for sin? |
| 38621 | Shall we not then have almost inextricably lost ourselves in the labyrinth of error? |
| 38621 | The first inquiry that presents itself is this: Do Necessitarians hold the doctrine of Necessity as defined in this chapter? |
| 38621 | The first inquiry which naturally arises here is What is the proper meaning of this proposition? |
| 38621 | The public are entirely deceived by this definition, and because they are deceived as to the theory intended by it, do they admit it as true? |
| 38621 | The question is, Are these virtues or affections, presented in the Bible as mere convictions of the Intelligence, or states of the Sensibility? |
| 38621 | The question is, can an individual intend to obey and to disobey the law, in one and the same act? |
| 38621 | The question is, does the belief of the doctrine of Liberty tend intrinsically to induce the exercise of this spirit? |
| 38621 | The question now arises, in the light of all these great truths, What relation do the Divine purposes and agency sustain to human action? |
| 38621 | The question now returns, Is"the Will always as the greatest apparent good,"in either of the senses of the phrase as above defined? |
| 38621 | Under such circumstances, who should not be admonished, that he should"dig deep, and lay his foundation upon a rock?" |
| 38621 | WE are now prepared to consider the question, whether each moral act, or exercise, is not always of a character purely unmixed? |
| 38621 | Was not the conflict between the two, and did not the latter prevail? |
| 38621 | Was the Intelligence deceived in this instance? |
| 38621 | We are now prepared to meet the question, To which of the relations above defined shall we refer the phenomena of the Will? |
| 38621 | We may properly ask the Necessitarian whence he obtained this knowledge, so vast and deep; whence he has thus"found out the Almighty to perfection?" |
| 38621 | What do such facts indicate? |
| 38621 | What excuse have you for not yielding to that conviction?" |
| 38621 | What if a philosopher, for that reason, should form his theory of optics by looking at the stars? |
| 38621 | What if he should with all possible intensity will to walk? |
| 38621 | What if the decisions of our courts of justice were based upon data from which the testimony of all material witnesses has been formally excluded? |
| 38621 | What if the devil, and all creatures called sinners, had always done the same thing? |
| 38621 | What if, from the fact, that the Will has its law, it should be assumed that Liberty is that law? |
| 38621 | What individual that has ever perpetrated such deeds has not said, and can not say with truth,"I know the good, and approve it; yet follow the bad?" |
| 38621 | What is an event without a cause, if this is not? |
| 38621 | What is self- denial but placing the Will with the Intelligence, in opposition to the Sensibility? |
| 38621 | What is that in which, according to the express teaching of inspiration, we learn the nature of this love? |
| 38621 | What is the evidence? |
| 38621 | What is the nature of this love? |
| 38621 | What is this but a voluntary act? |
| 38621 | What is this spirit? |
| 38621 | What is this, but a positive assertion, that a moral action of a mixed character is an impossibility? |
| 38621 | What more can be said of God, or of any being ever so pure, than that he has always done what his Intellect affirmed to be best? |
| 38621 | What more can properly or wisely be demanded? |
| 38621 | What more ought a moral agent to intend than the highest good he can accomplish? |
| 38621 | What must have been his intention in so doing? |
| 38621 | What must intelligent beings think of probation for a state of eternal retribution, probation based on such a principle? |
| 38621 | What other meaning can we attach to the phrase,"forsaketh all that he hath?" |
| 38621 | What shall we think of these two states? |
| 38621 | What then are the extent and limits of the Liberty of the Will? |
| 38621 | What then becomes of the objection under consideration? |
| 38621 | What then is the exclusive tendency of this doctrine? |
| 38621 | What would be the consequence? |
| 38621 | What would be the response of an assembled universe to a division based upon such a principle? |
| 38621 | What would be thought of such a treatise? |
| 38621 | What, on this supposition, is the meaning of the declaration,"How can ye, who are_ accustomed_ to do evil, learn to do well?" |
| 38621 | What, then, according to the theory of Necessity, becomes of the doctrine of Ability? |
| 38621 | What, then, is Liberty as opposed to Moral Servitude? |
| 38621 | When you say that I might obey, if I chose, I would ask, if choosing, as in the command,"choose life,"is not the very thing required of me? |
| 38621 | When, therefore, you affirm that I might obey, if I chose, does it not mean, in reality, that I might choose, if I should choose? |
| 38621 | Whence this solitary intruder in the human mind? |
| 38621 | Where is the conceivable ground for the imputation of moral guilt to them? |
| 38621 | Where is the individual that, unaided by an influence out of himself, has ever attained to a dominion over his own spirit? |
| 38621 | Where is the tendency to induce a spirit of dependence, in such a conviction? |
| 38621 | Where then is the place for error, for wrong opinions, and pre- judgments? |
| 38621 | Who believes that? |
| 38621 | Who can believe, that the pillars of God''s eternal government rest upon such a doctrine? |
| 38621 | Who does not know, that the great difficulty lies in the enslavement of the Will to a depraved Sensibility? |
| 38621 | Who would dare affirm the contrary? |
| 38621 | Who would dare to affirm, when he has any particular emotions, that all moral agents in existence are bound to have those identical feelings? |
| 38621 | Who would dare to say that there is? |
| 38621 | Who would look to such decisions as the exponents of truth and justice? |
| 38621 | Why did I not?" |
| 38621 | Why do I not now experience pleasure instead of pain, as a consequence of that injury? |
| 38621 | Why do we not blame the animal for this nature? |
| 38621 | Why may we not know, with equal certainty, whether the phenomena of the Will do or do not fall under the relation of Liberty? |
| 38621 | Why should the study of the Will be an exception? |
| 38621 | Why should we doubt or deny it in the latter? |
| 38621 | Why? |
| 38621 | With such knowledge and resources, can God exercise no government, but that of a degraded sovereignty in the realm of mind? |
