That which is essential to the salvation of mankind must admit of being readily understood, and if not easily, at least successfully carried out, by all that have the gift of ordinary intelligence or common sense, and faithfully make use of the appointed means of grace, as set forth in the word of God: a qualification of which we must never lose sight. The idea that God has founded a system of redemption for the benefit of mankind which only priests or hierarchs that is, men claiming to be especially authorized or Divinely appointed can accurately understand and render intelligible to the rest of the human race, is preposterous, and at once an insult to God and an outrage against common sense. What mainly causes the Scriptures to be so often misunderstood, or understood only with great labor and difficulty, is the extensively controlling influence which human creeds, or the exclusive doctrines of sectism, exercise over the human mind, which, thus warped and debased, is no longer competent to interpret the word of God agreeably to its true import or in conformity to common sense principles.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a critique of the doctrine of the Real Presence in the Lord's Supper, a cornerstone of Lutheran doctrine. The author, a devout Lutheran, argues that the Lutheran position of consubstantiation or impanation, which holds that the body and blood of Christ are present in, with, and under the elements of bread and wine, is unscriptural and irrational. The author provides extensive scriptural evidence, maintaining that the words of Jesus, "This is my body," should be understood figuratively, not literally. He argues that the bread and wine are symbols of Christ's body and blood, not the actual substances themselves. The book also traces the historical development of the Real Presence doctrine, showing how it arose from the influence of Greek philosophy on the early Church. The author concludes that the doctrine of the Real Presence is a departure from the simplicity of the gospel and that it has led to superstition and idolatry.
