SECOND REPLY TO
JUNGLE TOM"


Toms" wholly irrelative article, for
we agreed to discuss "infant bap-
tism." but he switched off on "Catho-
lie Church" a subject which never en-
tered nv mind, and "baptism for the
dead" etc, etc, questions wholly ir-
relevant.
/. For two reasons am astonished
at "Uncle Tom" for trying to use
Greek after opposing DR. Blalock, woo
knows it, for using it, ami especially
as "Uncle Tom himself, says he
doesn't understand it, He tries to
make it appear that the Greek "tis"
means anyone, man, woman OF child,
which is altogether false, as following
proofs show l. One definition is
"emphaticslly a man." which ex-
cludes children. 9 This "tis" never
had the m"aning Of any man." until
King James translstors wrongly 20
rendered AMI even they rendered it
~ times, "a certain man" which is
more nearly correct, because ''tis"
uoes properly mean "a certain kind Of
q man." and the certain kind" of
an emphatic man to whom Christ here
alluded was one who had "rectived
the mark of tho beast in Greek ON
their forehead" Rev 1915, which is
shrinking water on their forehead
which, according to right transla-
ton of I-aiah 59:5, hatcbed all who
receives it out into vipers, serpents,
for it says: "They hatch cockatrice,
adders' eggs. and weave the spiders
WEBB be that eatetn of their eggs
dieth, and he who is sprinkled batch
eth out into a viper, serpent" and
''Uucle Tom can see this is borne
out by the marginal reading in all
reference Bibles Thus when they re-
ceive this mark they are not born, but
Matched ont children of the old ser
pent, while all of Gods children are
born to Him and the devils are all
Matched unto HIM by shrinking. like
the serrent matches its young BY
sprinkliug sann on its eggs; anu moth
ing will remove that "maIk of the
beast" but johns burial-born Heav-
en- baptism, Matt 81 :25. and which
it always does, provided they first
have a genuine case of Holy Ghost,
heart felt religion. That am right
about this history attests, for Isaiah
wrote this sos years B. c., and at
that very time the devil was sprink-
ling the Greeks to hatch them out to
him and they introduced it into Pals
tine and all Pharisees, Sadducees and
rulers of the Jews had received this
mark. So Christ meant only that
CERTAIN kind of man
II. No such thing in all of Gods
Bible as original sin, 1 e., Adams
sin imputed to us by our feshly birth,
for following reasons: |. Neverthe-
less, death reigned from Adam to Mos
es, even over them tnat had not sin
ned after the similitude of Adams
transgression, Rom. 5:14, and If Ad-
am own children and near descend
ents had not sinned in Adam we know
our remots babies have not. Q OF
little children Christ said, "of such is
the kingdom Of heaven" Matt 19:t4,
and "of such" was SO translated from
Christ's own Greek word "Toionton"
meaning Of such kind, nature and quail
ity anu / know this shows they are no.
ly. g. OF all children begotten and
born inside of wedlock Paul says:
Elise were your children unclean but
now they are holy" Cor 7:14 4.
IL our being children of wrath makes
US guilty of Adams so-called origin
al sin, Erh. 2:3, then it necessarily
and scripturally follows that both
Cos and Christ are guilty of Adams
original sin, too, because both have
wrath, God being angry with the wick
ID every day, Ps I'LL, and Christ the
Lamb has great DAY Of wrath to
come. Rev. 6:l7, 30 you see, "Uncle
Tom," anything which proves too
much proves nothing at all. Your
20 called original sin is what your So
Jailed Holy Rollers call "inbrei SIM"
sin inside. IN the heart, soul and
,pirit, or in the inward man, but Paul
jays every sin that man doeth is
vltuout (outside) the body, Cor. |
,:18, auo 1st Peter 1921, says baptism
ioes not put away the filth (sin) of the
iesh, and it Does not cleanse the out
ward sins with which it comes in fric-
ional contact. bow can it cleanse from
IN inward sin it does not touch' Pau
gainst your false assertion, says:
FAnd almost all things are by the law
urged with blood. aud without she'd
ling of blood is no remission Heb.
"a, and LIST John II says, "and the
Hood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleans
th us from all sin" and TINS your
original sin cleansing by baptism goes
Jack to hell from whence 1t came.
8. AS you have pretended to under.
tand Greek will say if you do know
t you ought to know that there is no
ireek word corresponding to "dead "
he third time it occurs in 1 Cor. 49,
9 anu a right translation of 1t IS
Else what shall they do who are bap-
lied for the dead ones of themselves. "
[ the dead ones are not raised up,
Thy are they then baptized for them :
elves, or for their own selvesY" This {
bows us that everyone, as Paul In {
.omans 65, says: "For If We have l
cen planted together with Christ in s
burial baptism) in the likeness of ]
lis death, we shall be also in the like '
ess of His resurrection, from which t
q learn everyone is baptized if they {
ready have Christ in them, in order t
secure unto themselves resurrect- {
N 10 the likeness Of Christ's resur-
,ction, as this immersion, burial bap-
sm, so puts them into Christ's death ,
that they can be raised in the like 6
sss of His resurrection, So there is I
