ARGUMENT AGAINST
C. K. CHUBBUCK

Editor News:
Kindly permit me 20 attend to Mr..
Chubbuck' argument thusly:
! I. Chubbuck has dabbled into Pet
els regeneration, exhibiting such an
annoying amount of ignorance, ignor-
ance which has gone to seed and will
breed more ignorance, as to require of
me criticism, After Peter had follow
ed Christ three years after his regen-
GRAFTON, Chubbuck says, ''But soon
/ found he was not fully regenerated, I"
which Ignorance l correct as follows;
l. Regeneration comes, by transla-
ton from Greek, 'paleggenesia, ="
which according to four lexioons =
acknowledgements, ''new birth, re-
generation, born again" "a being
bora again, new birth regenera-
ton, = spiritual rebirth, regenera-
ton, and Regeneration, all four
OF which shows that regeneration is a
short, qnick, instantaneous first mani
festation of Gods children, as new
born babes, before they can fish. 3.
As the natural birth has to completely
prece1e learning to fish for fish, so
does the regeneration, spiritual birth,
have of necessity to precede learning
to fish for men, in all cases. No one
can disprove this, To have Christ
learning the apostles to fish for men
while He was regenerating them, as
Chubbuck so ignorantly and erroneous
ly says, would be as foolish and alb
surd in Christ, as it would be in me,
as doctor, to try to learn an unborn
child to fish while l was helping his
mother to bear him-equally 80 l
never was that big fool. mol neither
was Christ, yet that absurd foolish
ness is exactly what Chubbuck has
Christ at, for he says: "Then ne, }"
Christ, "began the process of regener-
ating or making them fishers of men. "
The smartest set of babies ever heard
of, good fishermen soon as they were
born, and according to Chubbuck, they
learned it all while being born. This
does't make good nonsense. It is
worse than nonsense, it is absurd ig-
norance gone to seed, auW will breed
more ignorance, as we will see further
on. 4. That Peter received Christ
before he started to follow Him is we'll
known, and of all who received Him.
"To them gave he power to become,
by adoption ''sons of God, even to
them that believe on. (eis, into) His
name which were (past tense) born
not q blood, nor of the will of man,
but on Goo" st. Jno. 11:2,13 of
whom Peter was one, and this birth
was prominently regeneration, and
it fully completed ere he started to
follow Christ. Nothing can be clearer
than this. 5. No such thing taught
in Gods word as that Peter was three
years in being born anew, or regener-
ated, yet that is exactly what Club
buck says 6. God teaches in Isaiah
6:68, that regeneration is such an in
Simultaneous, quick, short work, that
whole nation will be born anew at
once, "For as soon as Zion travelled
she brought forth her children, there
fore we know it is not a progressive
work of three years duration.
2. Chubbuck says: "But King
James LIST has given us the authorized
version in the year 1911. and then
some error being found in the year
1870, the House Of Convocation of the
Province of Canterbury, appointed
eight members of the upper and eight
of the lower house, and these took
ars Of Great Britain and America, and
in 1884 they gave us our present au-
thorized version" This correct as
have known for go
years that the King James version was
falsely called the Authorized Yer
sion" because it was done by an
earthly kings 30 called authority, but |
Chubbuck is the first one I ever knew
TO call the so-called revised version,
''Our Authorized Version Q.
Neither version can be called an Eau
tborized version unless it can be |
shown in the Greek New Testament |
where God or Christ authorized King
James to have the one made, or the |
House to have the other
one made, aud which can't be done.
}. These versions fatty contradict
Zach other Ia many places, therefore |
both cannot be authorized, any fool |
Knows that, ard If Chubbuck don't
Inow it there is something the matter
With him worse than being fool. A
We can't have two authorized versions
With them contradictory to each other
rs these are.
g. With Chubbuck' s own admission,
will first disprove his own saying.
lie says: $50, let us believe that God
las not allowed any errors to come
own to us through His word To
his / will make this opposition 1.
The Latin Vulgate was the Roman
)atholic version of the Hebrew and
It. Jerome found 1t was not accur-
tie, and SO, according to Chubbuck
imself, God let inaccuracy remain In
he Latin velsion for 700 years. Q.
according to Chubbuck God let error

zed version from 1911, to 1884, 1913
1ng years. Truly ale the legs of
be lame not equal" with such
l. Will now oppose to Chubbuck
,r4btural disproofs. 1 During days
inspiration God suffered His enc
lies to "change the ordinance, and
reak the everlasting covenant, Isaiah
