Waddel in which he distinguishes between true mysteries, which the human mind is simply unable to comprehend, and what is merely obscured by our inability to appreciate it. He then describes in detail the three ways in which the gospel is veiled from men: by pride, which prevents the gospel from access to the heart, by prejudice which hides the gospel from those who are lost, and by the dominion of some ungodly lust.</dc:description><dc:format>application/pdf</dc:format><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:rights>http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/</dc:rights><dc:subject>Presbyterian Church in the U.S.--Sermons--19th century</dc:subject><dc:subject>Presbyterian Church in the U.S.--Theology</dc:subject><dc:subject>God (Christianity)--Eternity</dc:subject><dc:subject>Mysteries, Religious</dc:subject><dc:subject>Pride and vanity--Religious aspects--Christianity</dc:subject><dc:subject>Prejudices--Religious aspects--Christianity</dc:subject><dc:subject>Lust--Religious aspects--Christianity</dc:subject><dc:title>A discourse on the text: “If our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.” 2 Cor 4:3</dc:title><dc:type>Text</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
