The Doctrinal Content Of Isaiah's Prophesy, Fred Kramer May 1927

The Doctrinal Content Of Isaiah's Prophesy, Fred Kramer

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to show how much doctrine the Prophesy of Isaiah contains. The result of my studies shows that, with the exception of the doctrine of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, every important doctrine of the Bible is found more or less complete in this wonderful book. Proof of this statement may be had in the thesis itself.


The Reformed Arguments Against The Real Presence Of The Body And Blood Of Christ In The Lord's Supper Examined In The Light Of The Main Modern Philosophical System Since Locke, Walter C. Daib May 1927

The Reformed Arguments Against The Real Presence Of The Body And Blood Of Christ In The Lord's Supper Examined In The Light Of The Main Modern Philosophical System Since Locke, Walter C. Daib

Bachelor of Divinity

It the same line of reasoning were followed out to its bitter consequence, it would leave us without any supernatural facts in religion. But it is by a “happy” inconsistency that the Reformed theologians, at least those of the conservative school, have restricted reason as a norm of doctrine to the narrow sphere or Christology and the Sacraments. It is chiefly here that they have made use of the arguments from possibility and reasonability. It is these arguments from reason that we wish to examine.


A Critique Of Goodspeed's Translation Of The Gospels, Arthur F. Fergin May 1927

A Critique Of Goodspeed's Translation Of The Gospels, Arthur F. Fergin

Bachelor of Divinity

In the execution of this treatise the translation of Goodspeed will be studied on the basis of the original Greek text. The critique will thus seek to establish whether the translation is true to the original. Since no other translation has till now successfully supplanted the Authorized Version, the later will be used in establishing the conclusions reached in this thesis. It is necessary to state at the outset, however, that such a procedure will not in all cases be fair to the translation of Goodspeed. Goodspeed has a better equipment in the way of an authoritative text and grammatical …


Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Eric C. Malte Apr 1927

Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Eric C. Malte

Bachelor of Divinity

Is it true that the union which is advocated by this coming conference is based on God's ideal? Placing the basis of the proposed union along side of the basis laid down in the Bible, we find that the former is based on man's conception and is in direct conflict with many clear passages of Scripture. Nothing is more emphatically taught and stressed in the Bible then that church-fellowship must always, and in all places, be preceded by unity in the spirit, unity in doctrine. We learn this from such passages as Rom.16,17; Eph. 4,3-6 , 13, and many similar …


Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Theodore Moeller Apr 1927

Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Theodore Moeller

Bachelor of Divinity

The tendency of Protestantism to split up into various sects has not infrequently been noted and variously explained. Roman Catholics, especially, make the most of this situation and point with pride to the unity of their church. “If once you permit individual judgment to be pitted against authority all the followers of the revolter will, in turn, claim the same privilege against him. The result is obvious. Even before the revolting church had made its position secure against the church of Rome disunion and separatism had come into its ranks. "This condition has often been deplored and the cry of …


A Presentation And Critique Of The Roman, Reformed, And Lutheran Doctrine If The Lord's Supper-, Clarence Peters Apr 1927

A Presentation And Critique Of The Roman, Reformed, And Lutheran Doctrine If The Lord's Supper-, Clarence Peters

Bachelor of Divinity

In his first epistle to Timothy Paul writes: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy." The Holy Spirit who transmits the divine revelation, was especially active in the early days of the Christian Church. In this case the Spirit had expressly declared that there would be a falling away from the truth in times to come. Men would actually apostatize from the faith, would teach and preach in direct opposition to the sound doctrine of the Gospel. How …


Conscience Its Nature And Function, Richard R. Caemmerer Apr 1927

Conscience Its Nature And Function, Richard R. Caemmerer

Bachelor of Divinity

The subject as stated in itself excludes the problem of the origin of conscience, a large field especially in phylogenetic theories (theories of remorse, origin of duty, origin of the good); it excludes the practical aspects and applications of the doctrines of conscience (systems of casuistry; social sphere of conscience; freedom of conscience). The subject has been-further limited, a procedure demanded by considerations of time and space, by a particular viewpoint applied to this discussion. The viewpoint permits formulation in the shape of a statement of the problem, namely: To determine the validity of the term "conscience" as an ethical …
