The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1914-10-10

began with the declaration that ours Is
a day In which the necessity for sin
atoncment Is disputed. disbelieved, by
Jews. Gentiles and Christians. The
orthodox jew and the orthodox Chris
tan. therefore are I'm substantial agree
ment with the Scriptures, and the uH-
orthodox In agreement Of opposition.
The latter agree that there Is no such
thing as Original Sin. and that hence
there could he no such thing as making
an atOnement or satisfaction to Justice
on its behalf.
The Basis of Disbelief.
Two things have contributed to this
unscriptural view: "a The agnostic
Jew not only disputes the Bible as
authority ON the subject. but admits
that II the sacrifices commanded by
the Leviticai code for Sin AtOnement
be necessary. then the Jewish people
have had no Sin Atonement In any
sense of the word for more than eight
cen centuries; for Sin AtOnement must
be made according to certain specified
conditions or not at ALL The loss OF
the Ark OF the Covenant aud the de-
struction Of Jerusalem were among
the disasters which have prevented
the carrying out Of Moses instructions
respecting the Atonement Day.
(2 Since the destruction Of Jerusa-
lem In A. ID. 20, the Jewish nation
has been scattered. and as result all
official records and genealogies Of the
Jewish people are destroyed. There
fore no one can prove his descent from
Aaron. and hence cannot make n Sin
Atonement on the Atonement Day.
Thus we see that 1t Is impossible for
Jews properly to observe the Atone
ment Day, although an outward cere-
mony is kept up. On the tenth day
of the seventh month the Jew figura-
lively acknowledges that the merit of
the previous sacrifice has expired.
We sympathize with his position. but
would suggest that nothing Is gained
by deceiving themselves into the sup
position that this observance harmo-
nizes them In any sense Of the word
with the Almighty. The sooner they
recognize this, the sooner will they
reach the proper heart condition to
realize that their calamities are due
to the fact that the sins Of more than
1900 years rest upon them uncancelled
When they comprehend the situation,
they will see that all their hopes center
In Messiah's Kingdom. Messiah Will
be the compromised Priest upon His
Throne. the application Of whose merit
will cancel sin forever.
Many Christians Repudiats the Blood.
Next 1t was shown that all the world
ly-wise Of Christendom have repudiat-
ed the Scriptural testimony respecting
the necessity of sacrificial death for
the satisfaction Of Divine Justice. the
cancellation Of sin and the restitution
Of the sinner % Divine favor. The
so-called New Theologists repudiate the
fall Of man. the Ransom and the Rest
tuition. claiming that nothing was lost
and that all we have Is gain.
These worldly wise cannot deny that
death is in the world and that the tend
ency of sin Is toward death. Despite
their theories. statistics demonstrate
that our race is daily becoming weak
er. mentally. morally and physically
| It is for them to explain how these
facts tit their evolution theory.
The Bible View Of Sin Atonsmsnt.
The Pastor then explained at length
the Scriptural view OF Sin Atonement
| According to Gods Word. sin Is viola
ton OF Divine Law and the penalty Il
death. Adam was created perfect and
sinIess. Obedience to Divine Law wal
