BT THE RET. THEODORE Ii AFP, For the brnre of this world eometh and hath nothing in mr." jMs, Who is the prince of this world here spoken of? Is it a supernatural or human agent ko firm believer in the personal exist ence of the Devil, and whom the Jate Proressor Stuart, of Andover, used to style a most learned, candid, faithful and invaluable expounder of Scripture" my: "In this text it is plain, from the connection, that by 'the prince of tnis worm is eignifled the Jewish Sanhedrim and rulers, who were instrumental of our Saviour's death. 'Sow; says Jesus, 'the lime is near when the wicked Jews will deprive meollire; but instead of cffcctinR my destruction, they wiil ouly ruin themselves for, though I must be slain, I shall rise front the aeaa, ana tueir uiiuoacui triumph will only serve to promote the future prosperity of my cause. All their malice ana opposition will prov.e unavailing." So does Professor Stuart interpret these words, and he is supported by a hotrt of the most eminent Biblical scholars in the orthodox ranks. Indeed, the context will fairly admit of Ho other construc tion.

How oerfectlv gratuitous, then, tne uoc triue that the text explicitly introduces to our notice the Zterit of Ckristian lAcctyjr an evil, disembodied, malignant spirit once expelled from heaven for rebellion against Uoil the cniei of the apostate angels; the implacable, uncompromising enemy and destroyer of the human race. It is impossible, my friends, to prove that such a being is in existence that he is ouce alluded to in a single text of Scripture from the first verse of Genesis to the last ol tlie Apoca Ivpse. All the attempts which I have seen to establish this noiut are mere verbiage they are absolutely puerile and stupid. In general, they manifest a depth of dullness, wiucn is hardlv susceotible of enlightenment, and which is rather to be pitied than to be blamed. But we are told that this laileu angei lempieu ir first parents to commit the original sin.

Who knows that such was the case ho says .1 At so? Scripture nowhere amrms uiis. iiiukobs. tbe serpent tempted them nor does he make the remotest allur iou to that being called Satan by the Christian world, in any part of the Tenta teuc.lt. Professor Stuart, late of Andover, (in this discourse I shall quote no authorities but those that are orthodox and Trintarian.j say that the serpent spoRen oi in ueneois, uum chapter, may be understood not literally, but as a figurative method ol tlescnning uie simpic. that Adam and Eve were drawn irom original purity into sinful indulgence and tue conversation said to have taken place between the vion.uil like Hint serpent anu me womnii msj between the Saviour and the tempter in the 4th chapter of Matthew, as mcafuf, not aa audible, words addressed to the external ear so mat, according to this mode of interpretation, uie serpent represents a sinful thouglii, moine or principle presented to the inwaru, not oouny cj instead ol" a brute possessed by an evil spirit We have beard it so olten said, ironi our earliest recollection, that the devil in the shape of a serpent ruined our great prngeuuo, mat have received the doctrine as true, without proof or examination.

No such proor is attoraea Dy the Bible. The ouly Scriptural argument deserv iug of a moment's notice, to show that the prince of fallen angels seduced Adam and Eve, is the 9th verse of Rev, 12th cha. Here a great on is spoken of which is called the old serpent, Satan," Ac Now Bishop Newton Sir Isaac Newton, (no mean authority) Adam uiarn, uie Methodist commentator, rroiessor oiuan auu many others assert, that the dragon here signifies not a fallen angel, but the "Bomau Empire." So that after all, it is not once said in God's word, that our first parents were led into transgression bv the Devil of Christian theology, who appear i e. totheiu uuoer ine puysicai iuiiu ui a. rcijcm.

The doctrine is a gross absolute assumption. II holds, indeed, a prominent place in poetry, in theological systems, in various spiritual romances and nursery tales, but is entirely unsupported by Divine authority. I have irequeniiy neara rro fViuair Stuart sav to his pupils, Voung gentle men, you may believe that the serpent spoken of in Genesis was not literal, out symooucui, smca Me et talca ecclesier that is, without endanger iug the church, or tne principles oi revetucu ic licion. So that at Andover, one can say with im nimitv. that the serpent is a symbol but in New i i i Orleans he can iinruiy lane mis grouuu wimuui being exposed to ridicule and denunciation.

Are we so much more euligutenea anu pious uiou me inhabitants of Massachusetts? Now. I will try in as words a possible, to show you the origin of these mistaken notions about Satan, so lar as me mmc cuuiti Campbell. (Presbyterian) remarks that though Satan is regarded by us as a proper noun (or name of an individual) it was not so used in the language spoken by our Lord. Here, it was a common noun, ordinarily signifying coZxmntafor, traduetr, or faUe accuser." This is a complete explanation of the whole enigma. In our version, the commo nuoun Satan or Diabolos is often left uutrauslated, as if it were a proper noun, or name of a person.

It is an admitted rule, that all the common nouns ot the original Scriptures should be translated. Now, the authors of our Kiielifh version sometimes followed this rule, but whenever the humor seized tliem, mey ue liberately violated it. The term Satan, I believe, occurs iust thirty four times in tne original via Testament, and is fifteen times rendered adveraa ry, or by some similar terms. But though it occurs thirty five times in the New Testament, contrary to the above mentioned law, it is left untranslated. In every instance, throughout the original Scriptures, its real import is equivalent to our words, mdcerarf, deceiver, traducer, calum niator, tempter, and false accuser; or it stands tor the principle of evil personiued.

Supposing, then, that the words Satan and Diabolos had been invariably rendered adversary and slanderer, or by some similar term then, no reader of the Bible would ever have thought of attaching to them the idea of a fallen ange). I will give some instances of what I intend. In Zach. 3:1, Satan means especially human adversaries two individuals, called Tatnai and Shethar boznai, as we may learn from the 3d, 4th, and 5th chapters of Ezra. Luke 10:18, be held Satan fall from heaven as lightning.

Here, says Dr. Jahn, the Roman Catholic author, Satan means all the adversaries of the Gospel, afterwards called serpents and scorpions, falling from the political heaven, from power and authority." Ephe. Ctb and 13, Wakefield and Doddridge both say that "Devil" means accuser, in this place, and the phrase, rulers of the darkness of this world" signifies, "Jewish governor and heathen rulers." In 2 Tim. 2:24, 25, 36, McKuight assert that snars sf the devil, means "those prejudices; errors and habita of sensuality which, hindered unbeliever of the first age from attending to the evidences of. the gospel." So, if I had time.

I could run through the whole Bible, and show the true translation of the words in question. Bui I have said enough to make it manifest, that no one can prove from Revelation, that there ia in existence each a being as tbe Devil of Christ ian theology. The amount of ignorant prevailing on this subject ia to ma truly astonishing I must notice one other text, simply because it ia so often quoted aa furnishing conclusive authority. John. 8:44, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, it Oi lered that here, moat obviously, the word dftiTi stands for a disembodied, malignant spirit Admitting the truth of the propositi oft, what follows! Not, by any means, that the identical being spoken of is Satan, whom Milton represents as an ancient rebel in Heaven, and the seducer of ear first parents.

That is the point to be proved. The devil, in this passage, signifies false accuser. Professor Stuart afflrms that to say of any one that his father was a falsi accuser is simply a Hebrew idiom for saying that he himself is a false accuser. So that what is really said in John 8:44 is tantamount to this: "Ye are slan'defprra persons; and such persons from the beginning (of always have been false and murderous." The phrase, frofn the beginning," in Scripture, denotes a shorter or longer duration, according to the Bubject nnder consideration. In Philip 4:15 Paul uses these words simply to express the commencement of his preaching the Gospel in Macedonia.

In short, the terms are employed to signify a variety of ways in which persons and things begin to act or operate. The text then, fairly interpreted, affords not the slightest evidence in support of the doctrine in question. No such passage, as I firmly believe, is contained in Uie sacred volume. It id astonishing what a fabric certain divines have reared from a few slight hints about the fall of our first parents; and how ingeniously they build up their mysteries by giving a forced, assumed import to detached passages of the Bible. We do not blame them for reasoning, but for violating the fundamental laws of reasoning for sacrificing the plain to the obscure, and the gen eral strain of Scripture to a scanty number of insulated texts." The Scriptures, far from giving countenance to an evil being called Satan or Devil the rival of God expressly forbid all witchcraft, necro mancy or appeals to any other being or power except Jehovah, who is declared to be the only Creator, Preserver and Ruler of all things; the Dispenser of life and death, sickness and health, prosperity and adversity; all events and all beings of every kind throughout the boundless universe.

See Gen. 1:1 Dan. Isa. 45:7 15; Amos 3:6 Ps. 33:13 15, etc The Bible, also, flatly contradicts the.

dogma that mankind are instigated to sin by the unseen influences of an evil being. Our Saviour denies that sin has an external origin. See Mark 7:18 34 also James 1:14 15. Here we are exprettiy told that the father or source of all sin is the human heart or men's own evil lusts and pas sions. Again "The whole word of idolaters and infidels," says Mackright, lieth under the dominion of the devil, having made themselves sub jects," sVc So teach all tne Deuevers in uie per sonality of Satan.

But Paul assures us mat tne divinities, which are supposed to preside over the heathen world, are iitf. What then becomes of the Prince of Darkness, as he is usually termed? If the idolaters worship imaginary beings, must not the head of these beings be imaginary. The whle argument of the Literalists may bo thus expressed The devil, satan or tempter it spoken of in Scripture as a real being. Personal pronouns are not only used in speaking or him, but he is represented as speaking and acting, and we are expressly informed of what he said and did." The futility of this reasoning is apparent from the fact that throughout the Bible abstract principles and inanimate things are represented as living, speaking and acting, for example, tho earth, the heavens, death, the grave and destruction, are personiied. See the whole of the 148th Psalm.

The mountains and hills sing, and all the trees of the field clap their hands. If wisdom, power, justice, and other good qualities are personified, why not also the principle of evil In short, if all things represented by the Bible, as speaking and acting.are to be considered as real beings, then it is one of the most absurd and immoral books in existence. In Psalm 78th, 65, the Deity is represented as uttering vociferations, which were produced by drinking wine to excess. See 1 Kings 22, 19 23. This passage, Adam Clark affirms, must be regarded in the linht of a narable otherwise, God is alleged to have infused a lving spirit into the minds of of Micaiah's prophets the whole of the figurative language here used, he says, simply expresses the idea that Micaiah and his adherents were verv depraved, ungodly men.

Admirable I Carry out this principle of interpretation, and you de rnv srprv areument for the personality of Satan which the Bible is supposed to furnish Even suDPosinsT that the terms in question are used to designate a fallen spirit in the Bible, it would still remain to be proved that this spirit is the identical being that tempted our first parents, according to the representations of Milton and the theologians in general. Havinsr established the position that the Sacred Book no where indubitably employs the word Satan, nor any other term to signify the Devil of Christian theology, I shall now poini oui swine oi the evils flowing from the popular ideas enter, tained concerning this subject First they tend to cast the most dishonorable imputations on the character of God, by teaching that he allows a malignant, unseen spirit to roam over the carta to accomplish malevolent purposes only. Is this consistent with his parental goodness In reply we are told that it is nf more irreconcilable with the Divine perfections to put ns into the hands of snch a being, than it is to place us in such a world as this, with natural propensities that expose us to sin and suffering. I cannot conceive of a more barefaced sophistry than thia There ie no paraleliam between the two cases. Men are placed here for a purely benevolent end, that by the trials and discipline of human life, they may be trained for the enjoyment of a sublime and ever growing inheritance beyond the grave.

But the devil is not pni nere on pro bat ion, that he may beeome good. His eternal doom is already sealed. For him, horrible I there is no possible redemption As he is incapable of being made better, it is believed that he is so bad that he cannot be made worse. Of course, he can gain nq good to himself, nor do any good to others by living on earth. And this infernal, invisible compound of incorrigible evil is permitted, by the Almighty Parent, to play off upon us those various enchantments requisite to insure our everlasting perdition.

In all the annals of infidelity and atheism, you cannot name a doctrine so gross and demoralizing in its tendencies as fhis. (As I said on a former occa sion,) What should we think of an earthly parent, who should introduce hia sons and daughters an acquaintance of the highest order of taleilta and most fascinating manners, on purpose that they might be corrupted and de stroyed Yet those wio advocate this abomi nable dogma, are bo inconsistent aa to talk abont the "matchless goodness" of God, How inscni table I Dr. Channing (somewhere) saya "It ia easy to speak of God magnificently, and to think of him meanly; to apply to his person iiurn sounding epithets, and to bis government princl pies which make him odious.
