Report of Three Nights' Public Discussion in Bolton Between William Gibson, H. P., Presiding Elder of the Manchester Conference of the Church of Jesus ... Woodman, Minister of the New Jerusalem Church - Softcover

Excerpt from Report of Three Nights' Public Discussion in Bolton Between William Gibson, H. P., Presiding Elder of the Manchester Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and the Rev. Woodville Woodman, Minister of the New Jerusalem Church

The first thing I shall take notice of is the placard, which gives the subject of the first night's discussion, in these words' What is God 2 is he an Immaterial Be'ing, possessing neither Passions nor any Properties of Matter? My friend has to prove the affirmative; and I think the first thing he ought to have done is to define to us what is immateriality. This he has not done, and it therefore remains for me to ex p'lain what immateriality is not. All matter has certain properties belonging there unto, but it does not follow that every' kind of matter has exactly the same kind of properties; different kinds of matter have different kinds of properties; at the same time'all matter has some properties in common.'
