Excerpt from More Than One Hundred Scriptural and Incontrovertible Arguments for Believing in the Supreme Divinity of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

There is no more confusion or inconsistency in speaking of Christ sometimes, as God, and at others, as man, than in speaking of man sometimes, as mortal, and at others, as immortal. The humble christian in his seasons of near and holy communion with the Son of God, feels no difficulty on this score. Because we hear it said of man, Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return, we do not disbelieve those passages that speak of the soul which at death goeth upward. Could a thousand texts be arrayed in an argu ment asserting expressly man's earthly origin and mortality - what then? Are not those likewise true, which speak of the immortality of his spiritual existence? How then does proving the humanity of Christ disprove his divinity? While in the humble form of a servant assumed that he might make an atonement for our sins, what more natural than that he should be generally spoken of according to that humble form? Was not his humiliation real?

That he is truly man we entertain not one doubt, and equally certain are we that he is the Word made flesh.
