THE GIANT OF GATH.

THE GIANT OF GATH.
Now comes this boasting hero of
speculative theology and In his No.
15 denies the burial of Christ!
He has called everything spurious
that conflicts with his iron clad sys-
tenn of religion. Nearly all OF the
last chapter Of Marks gospel he says
is spurious. The response Of the
Eanueh to Phillip is spurious and
Peter in 2 Acts is denounced as
false and Paul is contradicted in lst
Corinthians when go" says Paul was
not sent to baptize and therefore that
he did not baptize. Yet Paul says
he baptized certain persons and
napesa them. On the scripture points
Go isealready refuted. On the burial
of Christ Paul said he was buried.
See 1st Cor, 10Th chapter. Then
see Cos own dear, faithful, infallible
guide, the Westminster Confession
of Faith, ratified in 1921, and
amended in 1888, page IS, speaking
Of Christ's mediaterial career says
he was crucified and died, soas buried
Reader you see this immense ''gigas"
contradicts the. New Testament all
common sense and even aeontradicts
the confession. The old legal maxim
of Falsum in Uno, Falsum in Omni-
bus" is morethan proven IN his case.
He also contradicts the lexicons on
the meaning of gune. It is a gene
ric term. Means woman. maid, a
wife. A nnaid is never wife. When
she becomes a wife she ceases to be
maid. Yet gune is spilled to
maids, and t6us you see it does net
necessarily mean married woman.
Chapter iii, page 25, Westminster
Confession amended 1888, says:
"God from all eternity did by the
most wise and holy counsel of his
own will freely and unchangeably
ordain whatsoever comes to pass y
Reader, think of it! Whatsoever
comes to pass God decreed that it
should come to pass!! Then if God
decreed that it should come to pass
no human power can avert it. Muir
derers, rapes. rohberies, arsons and
manslaughters come to pass, there
fore God decreed from all eternity
that these things should come to pass !!

I don't believe a word of it. 1t is
a libel upon God as it makes him the
author of every evil that curses the
earth. No wonder Bob Ingersoll
SCOTS at religion if he has been
taught to regard the Creator in such
a light as the confession presents.
Sec. Ill. ''By the decree of God
for the manifestation of his glory
some men and angels are predestined
unto everlasting life and others fore
ordained to everlasting death -
Sec. ". ''These angels and men
thus predestinated and foreordained
are particularly and unchangeably
designed and their number is SO Ger
tain and definite that it cannot be
either increased or diminished. VI
There is not finer statement OF
pagan fatalism in all the writings OF
humanity.

chap. XVI read in the old book prior
to the amendment of 1888. Did il
not say something about not being

thought acceptable to God until the
spirit regenerated him? However, il
don't matter great deal because
you have changed just a little as the
light of Gods truth has penetrated
the liberated state of your mora
hearing. Now just take time ano

ligious idiosyncrasies in your system
