Re: JSH: Weird, but simple math |
it. But as there have been very great
things true, and as they have been believed by great men, this impression
has been the cause that nearly everybody is rendered capable of believing
also the false. And thus, instead of concluding that there are no true
miracles, since there are so many false, it must be said, on the contrary,
that there are true miracles, since there are so many false; and that there
are false ones only because there are true; and that in the same way there
are false religions because there is one true.--Objection to this: savages
have a religion. But this is because they have heard the true spoken of, as
appears by the cross of Saint Andrew, the Deluge, circumcision, etc. This
arises from the fact that the human mind, finding itself inclined to that
side by the truth, becomes thereby susceptible of all the falsehoods of
this...
819. Jeremiah 23:32. The miracles of the false prophets. In the Hebrew and
Vatable they are the tricks.
Miracle does not always signify miracle. I Sam. 14:15; miracle signifies
fear, and is so in the Hebrew. The same evidently in Job 33:7; and also
Isaiah 21:4; Jeremiah 44:12. Portentum signifies simulacrum, Jeremiah 50:38;
and it is so in the Hebrew and Vatable. Isaiah 8:18. Jesus Christ says that
He and His will be in miracles.
820. If the devil favoured the doctrine which destroys him, he would be
divided against himself, as Jesus Christ said. If God favoured the doctrine
which destroys the Church, He would be divided against Himself. Omne regnum
divisum.[180] For Jesus Christ wrought against the devil, and destroyed his
power
