A65874	The nature of Christianity in the true light asserted in opposition to antichristianism, darkness, confusion, & sin-pleasing doctrines : being a looking glass for sin-pleasing professors of all sorts / written upon particular occasion herein signified, by a servant of Christ, G. Whitehead.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1671 (1671)	Wing W1942; ESTC R39132	54,802	75

art yet a Stranger to R. G. Vnwilling to be manifested in the Light not telling us what that further influence and service was more then being a bare Example pag. 11. Answ. Jesus Christ in the dayes of his Suffering was not alone in his Testimony but as he said I and my Father c. and I can of mine own self do nothing He was endu'd with Power from on High whereby h●s Coming Offering and Testimony had a divine Influence upon the hearts of them that knew and receiv'd him and still hath And they who attain to the Blood of Sprinkling to have their Consciences thereby sprinkled and purged from dead works and to eat of the Flesh and drink of the Blood of the Son of Man do truly experience the End of his coming who hath given his ●lesh for the Life of the World and Himself a Ransom for all for a Testimony in due time which things are Mysteries hid from all Hypocrites and such who are dead in their sins R. G. Which of all the Prophets or Apostles ever so wrote of a Ransom an Attonement a Propitiation a Price of our Redemption as of a Work to be done in us as it was in Christ or that in these Christ was an Example to us that they might be over again effected in us And which of all those Holy Men ever so wrote of a Believer's being brought through the Ministration of Death Condemnation and Wrath after the Example of the Man Christ c pag. 12. Answ. Thou hast perverted our words by adding as it was in Christ and hast also shew'd thy wonderful Darkness for though we do not suffer in all Points after the same manner that Christ did yet it follows not that he was not a real Example of Obedience and Humility in his Suffering But how contradictory to thy own confession hast thou reasoned which is That Reconciliation Justification and Redemption are to be made e●fectual by the workings of his Spirit in all who through Faith receive the Attonement And did not the Prophet say to the Lord Thou hast wrought all our Works in us Isa. 26. And because the Chastizement of our Peace was upon Christ does it therefore follow That we must never be chastiz'd This is like thy doctrine Redemption was in Christ therefore not to be done in us Christ passed through Death therefore we must not be crucified nor perfectly dead to sin in this Life Is not this the very tendency or sum of much of thy Doctrine But is it not Sin and its Enmity within which Christ came to redeem and reconcile man from Thou art yet in Death far from being redeem'd or thus reconcil'd who hast not known the Ministration of Death Condemnation and Wrath but questionest the Believers passing through it though it be a plain Truth that they did and many do so pass they passed from Death to Life and through the Law became dead unto the Law And did not the Commandment which was ordain'd to Life work Death in the Apostle Paul who also knew the Terrors of the Lord But thou hast in thy Imaginations fram'd up a more easie way to Heaven or Redemption c. then through the Ministration of Judgment through which Sion is redeem'd and her Converts with Righteousness or of Death and Condemnation which in its time is glorious which is fulfilled where the Righteousness of the Law is fulfilled within even in them that walk not after the Flesh but after the Spirit R. G. This new-coyn'd M●stery of Faith in the Light in your Conscience or within you as your Saviour ●nd Obedience thereunto to be done and perfected in your bodies c. pag. 12. Answ. It s evident that the true Light and Perf●ction by it and in it were ever oppos'd by Darkness and its Children which cannot comprehend the Light of Christ within And this is Darkness to be felt that scornfully calls Faith in the Light a New-coyn'd Mystery But Jesus Christ the true Light that enlightens every man gave a better Testimony of the Light when he said Believe in the Light that ye may be Children of the Light Joh. 12.35 36. And so did his Ministers in these words God who commanded the Light to shine out of Darkness hath shined in our hearts to give the Light of the Knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ 2 Cor. 4.6 And if we walk in the Light as he is in the ●ight we have Fel●owship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin 1 John 2.7 And the Anointing which ye have receiv'd of him abideth in you and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him verse 27. See also 2 Pet. 1.19 and Rom. 2.7 10 13 14 15 16. And hath not the Grace of God which brings Salvation appear'd unto all men Titus 2.11 See how manifestly this man hath oppos'd both Christ and his Apostles plain Testimonies which are on the behalf of his Light within and B●lief in it and Obedience to it in order to Perfection Cleansing from all Sin or a perfecting Holiness in the Fear of God Are these New-coyn'd Mysteries Nay they are Gospel Truths which stand against the Devil and his Darkness R. G. We who since we believ'd receiv'd that Attonement shall after our bodily death be rais'd from the Grave and be made Partakers of that Salvation which through Faith and Hope we wait for while in the Body pag. 13. Answ. Thou puttest Salvation at a great distance shewing thy self yet in the Grave of Corruption Is this thy meaning of Salvation that thou hopest and waitest for while in the body to be rais'd from the Grave after thy bodily death What strange Nonsensical Language is this And was this the Salvation that Christ's second Appearance was lookt for to effect Heb. 9.28 If thou livest and diest in thy Sins and be'st not saved from them nor rais'd out of them here thy Resurrection will be miserable and thy State sad hereafter even that of the Unjust which is to Condemnation R. G. It pleased the Lord to bruise him he was he hath left out we did esteem him smitten of God the Chastizements of our Peace were upon him then he adds This man should thus answer the Prophet Isaiah Is that divine Justice to take Vengeance on Wound Smite bruise the Innocent and let the Guilty go free Answ. The Prophet said he was despis'd and we esteem'd him not surely he hath born our Griefs and carried our Sorrows yet we did esteem him Stricken Smitten of God and Afflicted but he was wounded for our Transgressions c. Isa. 53.3 4 5. There are still those that reject and dis-esteem Christ and that esteem him smitten or plagued of God and even to have under-gone the Wrath and Vengeance of his Father in their stead to acquit them from Punishment though they live and dye in their Sins not expecting Salvation till after their Decease Whereas
