Book Description

Excerpt from God Manifest: A Treatise on the Goodness, Wisdom, and Power of God, as Manifested in His Works, Word, and Personal Appearing; Showing, Also, How the Permission of Moral and Physical Evil Is Reconcilable With the Divine Attributes IN the following work, the author has sought to solve some of the great problems of the mystery of life, ' under the bright light of the New Dispensation, in which light alone they are solvable. He has endeavored to trace both moral and physical Evil to their true source: to show that the latter is but an effect of the former, and that the former is simply the result of a perversion of man's faculties, -the possibility of which perversion was necessarily implied in his existence as a free and rational being. The origin of the Diseases, which so widely afflict mankind, is also attempted to be shown: the origin, also, of fierce Animals, and of noxious and poisonous Plants and Minerals the causes, too, of Poverty in social life, of Tyranny in political life, and of Wars between nations. And, everywhere, the great object has been to make it plain that with man himself, and not with the good Creator, lies the responsibility for all these evils.
