struck at me, please permit me to an
swer his questions and prove bis as
sertion to be only skepticism, thusly:

ty, and all liars will give ear it.
8. Because Christ, the best chris.
tian who ever lived, said: "And If
should say, / know Him not, shall
be liar like unto you" st. Jno.
1855. 4. Because Peter told Ananias

John, the beloved disciple, said: she
that saith, / know Him, and keepeth
not His commandments, is q liar, and
the truth is not in him" Jno. ga.

Loach' If she did not tell the truth
what did she tell1
Q. Mr.. Loach says: "While every
man or woman has right to their OPP
inion of the Scriptures" ETC., which
deny in toto, because their opinions
are but skepticisms, and they are but
skeptics, in forming and holding to
their skeptical opinions, as will
now Scripturally show. /. Elijah
came unto all the people, and said,
"How long halt ye between two opin-
ions!". Kings. 1921, and the He
brew word Elijah used, translated
"opinions, was "sa-iph," pronounce
ed "saw-eef," and it means ''divided,
in mind, i. g., abstractly, senti-
ments, opinions, skepticisms, and its
kindred twin sister word, expressive
Of such persons, derived from same
word as Is "saw- eef." is "ce-eph,
pronounced s'say-afe." and it means,
''divided, in mind, /. Q. concretely,
skeptic." and thus we see the reason
why they are skeptics, is because they
are following their own opinions
which are skepticisms instead Of so
"learning of Christ" Matt. II 80, as
to SO tdo the will of God as to know
the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
whether I speak Of myself" st Jno.
7:17. Loach was most unfol tunate in
quoting three times this knowing
scripture Of Christ to try to prove a
right to our opinions, when it is alto
gether opposed to opinions, for Of OPP
Unions Webster says: "The judgement
which the mind forms of any PROPOSE
tion, statement, theory, or event, the
truth or falsehood of which lie support
ed by a degree of evidence that rend-
ers it probable, but does not produce
absolute knowledge or certainly" but
If Christ's Greek word, "peri," had
been translated in st. Jno. 7:17, then
it would have read: eff any man
will do His will he shall know all
round about from center to circumfer-
ence Of the doctrine, etc., which is
absolute knowledge. No opinion about
this knowledge. Q. If Loach will
read Job. $3.50, 10, II, he
will zee Jobs comforters were all the
while Offering Job their opinions. so
in thsse passages, and al
though they offered the sublimest and
most noble opinions ever express
ell by mortal men, yet of them
Job said: ~ have heard many such
things: miserable comforteis are ye
ALL" Job. 1879. Why2 Because there
was no comfort to a man of God In
THAR opinions. 8 When God came to
deal with them for their grand and
sublime opinions, He said: "My
wrath is kindled against thee, and
against thy two friends: for ye have
not spoken of me the thing that Is
right, as my servant Job hath. There
fore take unto you now, seven bull
locks and seven rams. and go to my
Job, and offer up for your
selves burnt Offering: and my SER
want Job shall pray for you: for him
will accept; lest deal with you af-
ter your folly, in that We have not
spoken of me the thing which is right
like my servant job" Job. 4a:7,S.
Why Because they spoke only their
opinions, while Job spoke only what
be knew, for be said: "For / know
that my Redeemer liveth, and that He |
shall stand at the latter day upon the |
earth. And though after my skin |
worms destroy this body. yet in my
aesh shall / see God" Job. 1895, 26.
God requires all His people to do like
Job, 80 as that they. too, can speak
only what they know, and this I do,
FOR which all who follow only their |
opinions hate me.
8, VIM. Loach, you, according to |
The above cited Scriptures, have |
plainly written yourself down as a
'keptic. following your own skeptical
opinions. claiming right to do so,
when in fact, no one has any sort Of |
light to any opinion on any part of |
Gods word. Please stop giving us

something to write, you just watch
