sufficed without doctrine. Now those who did not believe in
Him, when He was still alive, were sinners, as He said himself, and without
excuse. Therefore they must have had proof beyond doubt, which they
resisted. Now, they had not the prophecies, but only the miracles. Therefore
the latter suffice, when the doctrine is not inconsistent with them; and
they ought to be believed.
John 7:40. Dispute among the Jews as among the Christians of to-day. Some
believed in Jesus Christ; others believed Him not, because of the prophecies
which said that He should be born in Bethlehem. They should have considered
more carefully whether He was not. For His miracles being convincing, they
should have been quite sure of these supposed contradictions of His teaching
to Scripture; and this obscurity did not excuse, but blinded them. Thus
those who refuse to believe in the miracles in the present day on account of
a supposed contradiction, which is unreal, are not excused.
The Pharisees said to the people, who believed in Him, because of His
miracles: "This people who knoweth not the law are cursed. But have any of
the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? For we know that out of
Galilee ariseth no prophet." Nicodemus answered: "Doth our law judge any man
before it hear him, and specially such a man who works such miracles"?
830. The prophecies were ambiguous; they are no longer so.
831. The five propositions were ambiguous; they are no longer so.
832. Miracles are no longer necessary, because we have had them already. But
when tradition is no longer minded; when the Pope alone is offered to us;
when he has been imposed upon; and when the true source of truth, which is
tradition, is thus excluded; and the Pope, who is its guardian, is biased;
the truth is no longer
