Joe says again. Can the alien sim

Again he says, IF they that are in

Joe asks, docs the Christian possess
life different in nature or only in
degreer" The christian life in nature
is just the same after he becomes a
christian as before because it is not
the flesh that is born of the spirit Joe
again asks, lis there an instant when
life either natural or spiritual is con-
veyed from the living to the nonliving
through medium Spiritually the
knowledge of God is conveyed to sim
ner by the preaching the Gospel by q
J child of God. The Gospel is the pow
er of God unto salvation unto every
one that believeth. Romans, 1875.
Joe say, IF as you claim, the alien
sinner must hear and heed the teach

scripture YOU refer to in your last re-
ference to the new covenant is the one
God said He was going to make with
the House of Isreal Hebrews $40.
God said He would be to them q
God and they should be to Him and
they should know Him from the least
to the greatest When God placed
this law in any ones mind, Paul saiC
HE would know the Lord. Heb. 8
II. Job says" To know the Lord is
eternal life. This law is put in 8
mans heart when he is born of the
spirit of God, the very weakest one Of
of Gods children knows God as well
as the strongest Heb. Sill. This al
takes place after Gods people dc
their part in teaching the alien sinner.
