Bro, RODofIS WISHES W Sue HIS
belief of What the Bible teaches {
along side OF ours--ior he says |
thai he believes that Adam VAS
the father, OF. both Jew and Glen.
t:le:" And that we believe that
the Gentle, Is the descendants
Of Pre-. Adanlic man"
The he pleads ignorance, mo. I
thing but a back.woods farmer.
OF course this last assertion
we see nothing in, for God ID
able to make any man wise unto
salvation. So this sh0nla be no
;lrgu nent-'for | too bslong %
the back. wood ) farmers, placing (
US equal on this point
The first we shall notice - his
first belief, Adam the father Of
both Jew and Gentle We ask
which one Of tho Adams Where
do we find hin first? Ana what
attitude DO we find hm IN first.
! Bible Is what va want on this
subject.
Second, We shall notice, that
4 he said that w, believed that the
Gentiles descended from Il Pre-
Adamic man And We say, that
this is true, that We do believe;
and believe it with all our heart
that there is n people called the
GentiIes, which are descendants
from a man created on the sixth
day; which was different char,
acter, before the coming Il
Christ; from. IT,. on who We're
the descendants of The man, .iut
was formed and placed in the
garden Of Eden.
And after asking the Bro. to
answer the questions above,
which we have asked, we shall
give our reasons as we see them
from Bible teachings fer our be-
! lief on this subject
IN the first place we CHIN that
CT cation is u different work from
the work of Formation And for
the benefit Of Bro. Roberts, and
also the readers Of the CREssET,
we once more shall give our
reasons for this belief, by asking
you to read this scripture:
In HE heginEng Col created tic
heaven and The earth,
, And the earth was without form
and void; md darkness was upon the
face of The deep. And Tie Spiri, Of
God moved npoa the face Of tbs water
, Ocn .-.l -,
The question that arose in
our mind when we read the a.
bovc scripture was, did God
create the heaven and the earth
when He said He did? And The
only thing that we could sec was
to believe that lie did,
/. For we say. TO say that He did
not would be Ia call him a bar.
+, And We felt that We could moi
afford to do that. Hence there
was, nothing loft rs to do, but
To believe that God created Tic
r earth when He said lie did IN
\ the beginning. And III saying
7 that God created the earth in the
/ beginning there was, nothing
left for us to q but to say tho
earth was without Form whor
God created IT. for He said in
plain words, that the Earth was
without form" Therefore wt
: believe it, II Brother Robert.
( does not believe it, we will only
\ wait to know why he does not
And we shall wait to know
how he will explain Gods wore
away. An manner so that III
= can believe otherwise,
y And right hero We shah say. I,
Y our many readers that it doe,
not matter 10 US how man en-
plain God word. Il Cod say,
. He did a thing We shall belief,
it. And inorder that our reader,
may know why We believe tia
the man spoken Of in the nrs
!. chapter Of Gen, is not tho on,
a spoken.of IN the second ch. V,
4 shall quote you this,
And God said l.c, us make MAI
