Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book, a compilation of 18th century sermons by an English clergyman, discusses the religious significance of grafting and breaking off in the context of a Biblical passage from Romans 11. The author's Biblical exegesis delves into the Christian belief that the Church of Christ is a continuation of the Old Testament Church, composing both converted Jews and Gentiles. His sermons draw parallels between the two groups, arguing that the Jewish church was a type of the Christian church and that the Christian church is the fulfillment of the prophetic promises of the Old Testament. The author weaves together a historical and theological framework to demonstrate how the Jewish and Christian churches constitute one continuous, unified spiritual entity through different dispensations, leading to a deeper understanding of the nature of the Church throughout time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from The Hebrew or Jewish, and Christian Church the Same: Illustrated and Applied in Proof of the Duty of Infant-Baptism; And the Most Weighty and Plausible Objections Answered, in Three Sermons

Further, the Hebrew church was the fame as the Chrifiian, in this fenfe, that it was the church of Chrifl. It Was Chrif'c, or the fecond perfon of the Trinity, who from time to time appeared to Abraham as the Lord his God, and made that convenant with him, which was the foundation of the Hebrew church. Chrift was alfo the Lord God of Abraham, Ifaac and Jacob, who appeared to Mofes in the built, brought the Ifraelites out of Egypt, made the covenant with them at Mount Sinai, and manifefted himfelf in the tabernacle. For David, in Pfalm lxviii. 18,1'pe'aking of the God who went before hispe0p1e in the wildernefs, fays Thou haf't afcended' on high, thou halt led captivity captive, 85c. And the a'pof. Tle Eph. Iv. 8, exprcfsiy applies this to Chrifl which plainly fliows thathe was the Lord God of Abraham 84 of the Hebrew church-that he was the angel of the church in the wilder nefs. Acts vii. 38. The Hebrew church therefore Was the church of Chrift, as much as the Chrifiian church now is; and in this refpect they are the fame, as they ftand in the fame relation to the Mediator, he being the head of both. Confe quently fpeaking or thinking lightly of the Hebrew church is evidently defpifing the church of Ghrilt.
