Discourses on Christian Faith and Practice (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Discourses on Christian Faith and Practice

The argument in favor of a plurality of divine persons, which is founded on the position, that infinite love must have an adequate object in order that it may give rise to infinite happiness, cannot be answered; it proves conclu sively, that there must be more beings than one possess ing the attributes of Godhead, but it does not prove that those beings have one common nature; it may, however, be demonstrated, and the author has attempted to demon strate, that three infinite beings must, in consequence of their infinity, exist in a perfect unity of essence, or, in other words, must have one common nature. Thus we may meet the objectors to the doctrine of the Trinity on their own ground, and show that this doctrine cannot be denied, without contradicting reason as well as reve lation.
