moderator ' s defence of rabbi hirschel . To the Editor of the Monthly Repository . Sir , In the review of Rabbi Hirschel ' s sermon , in your last num . " ber , he is censured for saying— ec All civilized nations unite in the belief of the one true God . " I was glad to see a Jew express so much candour , and equally hurt to find a Christian discover so much bigotry . I am entirely of the Jew * s opinion , and feel inclined to the defence of it , which I conceive to be a
matter ofiio great difficulty . Your reviewer asks ^ " Does K « J ~ F . seriouslv believe , that there is no difference betweem the one only God of Moses , and the plural God of Christians ? " I presume he does so believe , and so do I . The God is the same , and urtTst be so , since both believe that there is ovXy ' oiie God ,
Jehovah , the maker of heaven and earth . It is true , some Christians speak of a plurality in the divine nature , and make use of a strange unintelligible jargon in explaining and defending it ; but still they all maintain , that God is one infinite- Being , possessed of all perfections ; the same Being whom Moses and the ancient Jews worshipped , who brought them out of Egypt ^ and
gave them the law of the Ten Commandments , &c . & . c . Iu S . U confessions , creeds ^ and articles of faith , drawn up and subscribed by different sects of Christians , whatever they prprless besides , and whatever unscriptural terms they use , they all profess to believe and worship only one God , And the language which most of them use , in characterizing th $ t one
God , is absolutely inconsistent with their maintaining a plurality of Gods , though they talk of a plurality of Persons , of which they have no consistent idea . i \ nd if due attention be paid to their manner of worship , it . will plainly appear , that ( when they do not think of the controversy ) , they entertain no idea of the object of it but what is perfectly consistent with
the strict &nd proper unity of the Godhead * A difference of jthvaseology ^ or even of sentiment , about some particulars , which have been matter of warm debate ( which I consider for the most part as mere logomachies ) can make no difference in
