PhWisee.--lsaiah, speaking of Christ,

names prove the Eternal Godhead of
Jesus Christ?
Nazdrene.-I think it proves the very re-
verse; for the bestOwal of these names in
dicates that he was not Deity in his own
essence, for how could anything be added
to Deity? The name of God was put up
on the angel that guided the journeyings
of Israel from Egypt EXODUS 20: 2l); but
that did not make the angel into "yery
God !" it showed inversely that he was not
God, for had he been God, it would not
have been necessary that he should have
been temporarily invested with the pow
ers and ,~prerogatives Of Deity. So with
Jesus; his inyestiturc with the position
and authority of God Is provisional; for
we read us follows with regard to the ac-
compllslment of his mission: "And when
all things shall be subdued unto him, then
shall the Son also himself be subject unto
him that put all things under him, that
God may be all in all."--l Co. 10: IS.
PhariSee.--Do you maintain. that Jesus
was Il mere man?
Na@drene.-With the exception of the
mode of his conception and his amounting
with the Holy Spirit, Jesus was essentially
A MAN, raised up as u SECOND ADAM, (con-
stittted OF flesh and blood rs we are, and

death, and resurrection, the evil conse-

was not to appcase the wrath of offended

PdriSee.-The doctrine of the Trinity is
the very citadel of those who believe in
the Immortality of the soul, and if this
| doctrine is merely an invention of Roman
Catholicism. then is the Scripture fulfilled
