Σελίδα 388 - So that, upon the whole, we may conclude, that the Christian Religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one. Mere reason is insufficient to convince us of its veracity : And whoever is moved by Faith to assent to it, is conscious of a continued miracle in his own person, which subverts all the principles of his understanding, and gives him a determination to believe what is most contrary to custom and experience.
Σελίδα 385 - ... and have lived quietly. Would men in such circumstances pretend to have seen what they never saw; assert facts which they had no knowledge of; go about lying, to teach virtue; and, though not only convinced of Christ's being an impostor, but having seen the success of his imposture in his crucifixion, yet persist in carrying it on; and so persist, as to bring upon themselves, for nothing, and with a full knowledge of the consequence, enmity and hatred, danger and death ? OF THE DIRECT HISTORICAL...
Σελίδα 382 - That there is satisfactory evidence, that many, professing to be original witnesses of the Christian miracles, passed their lives in labours, dangers, and sufferings, voluntarily undergone in attestation of the accounts which they delivered, and solely in consequence of their belief of those accounts ; and that they also submitted, from the same motives, to new rules of conduct.
Σελίδα 368 - Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Σελίδα 37 - But God has not been so sparing to men to make them barely two-legged creatures, and left it to Aristotle to make them rational.
Σελίδα 54 - Rabbi, we know that Thou art a Teacher sent from God : for no man can do these miracles that Thou doest, except God be with him.
Σελίδα 284 - Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Σελίδα 120 - By which we prove (in the first Figure) not directly that the original Conclusion is true, but that it cannot be false; ie that an absurdity would follow from the supposition of its being false...
Σελίδα 279 - Hence, all such reasonings are, in comparison of mathematics, very complex ; requiring so much more than that does, beyond the process of merely deducing the conclusion logically from the premises : so that it is no wonder that the longest mathematical demonstration should be so much more easily constructed and understood, than a much shorter train of just reasoning concerning real facts. The former has been aptly compared to a long and steep, but even and regular, flight of steps, which tries the...
Σελίδα 234 - A good instance of the employment and exposure of this Fallacy occurs in Thucydides, in the speeches of Cleon and Diodotus concerning the Mitylenaeans : the former (over and above his appeal to the angry passions of his audience) urges the justice of putting the revolters to death ; which, as the latter remarked, was nothing to the purpose, since the Athenians were not sitting in judgment, but in deliberation ; of which the proper end is expediency.
