“It is as natural and reasonable for a dependent creature to apply to its Creator for what it needs, as for a child thus to solicit the aid of a parent who is believed to have the disposition and ability to bestow what it needs.” NeedsChildrenParentNaturalPrayerAbilityCreaturesCreatorAidsReasonableDependentDisposition Book:Outlines of Moral Science Source: Outlines of Moral Science
“In reviewing the most mysterious doctrines of revelation, the ultimate appeal is to reason, not to determine whether she could have discovered these truths; not to declare whether, considered in themselves, they appear probable; but to decide whether it is not more reasonable to believe what God speaks than to confide in our own crude and feeble conceptions. No doctrine can be a proper object of our faith, which is not more reasonable to believe than to reject.” BelieveReasonSpeakObjectsUltimateDetermineDoctrineMysteriousAppealsRevelationsReasonableRejectsConceptionFaith In GodCrude Author:Archibald Alexander
