Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Refutation of Hereditary Total Depravity: Or the Chief Corner Stone of Calvinistic and Arminian Sectarianism Removed
Hereditary total depravity, by their own show ing, is the foundation of the self-styled evan gelical sects. The doctrine of total depravity, says Mr. Hendricks, in his letters to the 'self styled Reformers, ' is emphatically fundamen tal. And he adds, the Whole plan of salva tion is grafted in upon the stock of total de pravity. The Rev. D. Holmes, A. M., says that genuine Christianity stands or falls With it. And in the Presbyterian Preacher, Vol. 4, No. We have the following By nature all men are totally depraved. Human depravity is'at the foundation of the Whole system oi' Christianity. These quotations may explain to the reader a part of my title page, The chief corner stone of Calvinistic and Arminian secta rianism removed. The sects Who suppose the Whole plan of salvation to be grafted in upon the stock of total depravity, suppose this to be also true, I presume, in regard to their plans of salvation If I cut down this tree, or in any way eradicate it, its grafts, no matter how numer ous, must fall With it; or if the temple of ortho doxy has for its foundation hereditary total de pravity, and it shall be proved to be false, the temple sustained by it must necessarily fall; for says Mr. Holmes, genuine Christianity stands or falls with it. Unless I am egregiously mis taken, I have felled this tree -i have removed effectually and forever this ponderous corner stone!
