“It having been said above that God bends all the reprobate, and even Satan himself, at his will, three objections are started. First, that this happens by the permission, not by the will of God. To this objection there is a twofold reply, the one, that angels and men, good and bad, do nothing but what is appointed by God; the second, that all movements are secretly directed to their end by the hidden inspiration of God.” MenFirstsSaidEndsInspirationHappensThreeMovementAngelGods WillSatanPermissionGood And BadObjections Book:Institutes of the Christian Religion Source: Institutes of the Christian Religion
“Rationally considered, nothing can be more absurd than the baptism of infants under any circumstances. No statement, no matter by whom it may be said to have been uttered, can make that true which is radically false. If an innocent child, unconscious of good or evil, irresponsible to God and man, incapable of thought or action, is not already, in accordance with Christian theology, a member of Christ, then no vicarious promise or priestly ablution can make him one. For if this were so, a similar ceremony under devil worship could make him a member of Satan.” IfsMenMayChildrenHas BeensSaidMatterActionChristianEvilChristCircumstancesPromiseMembersWorshipDevilTheologyStatementsInnocentAbsurdSatanUnconsciousIncapableInfantCeremonyIrresponsibleBaptismChristian TheologyVicariousInnocent ChildrenDevil Worship Author:Tennessee Celeste Claflin
