used to make the fact any plain
er, in regard to VINO It was, that :
was not to see. For this reason
we now turn to another rOint.
T>,E REsuNRE, TON OF THE DEAD
Now it is true that there has
been already a resurrection of
the dead. Bu5 the Pastor claims
that there has been none, and
that there will be none until the
general resurrection. For, he
claims that when men die, they
fall asleep in death, and are
no mole until the time of the
general resurrection.
And in order to confirm his
| belief he quotes the following
scriptures. That ABRAHAM slept
with his fathers Stevens he
fell asleep Speaking of the
church, I'VE shall not all sleep"
Now those passages are every
one true. And they are al plain
to them, who get the right YER
sion on them. And When right
|ly explained every one but the
blinded, Israelite can know them.
j And now 10 rebuttle of the Pas
tors arguement, we shall offer
the following questions.
Was Noses and Elias sleeping
when they appeared unto Peter,
James and John, in the trans
tiguration of Christi tSee Matt,
l7-3) And was those souls
Z; that John saw under the alter in
i heaven, dead or asleep, when
" they cried out? Please read.
And they cried with loud voice saying. How
+, long o Lord holy and true d">t thou not jud-;
and nvenrc our blood OIL .bem that dwell on tn
earth. Rev. 6 10.
- Or was those II Elders tina
sang the new song asleep, whel
, they did this? or those out O
: every nation, tongue or peopl'
who we're all praising God, wer
at they asleep? (See Rev, ) --~-14.
