ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. F. W. DOBBS, D D.
Dear Bro Dobbs: Will you kindly
explain in your Anked and Answered
column 1 John 1:8; 8:0T
K. L MC,
The paHHHge read: “if we Hay that we
have no sin. we deceive ourHelvei, and
the truth in not in na ” “Whosoever is
born of God doth not commit sin; for
his seed reuiaineth in him , and he can
not sin because he is born of God." First
of all we would say that whatever John
may have meant, he certainly did not
mean to contradict the first passage in
the second. We must, therefore, find
an interpretation which will be in har
mony with each Our correspondent
might have cited 5:18 in connec
tion with the others. The first text
shows that John regarded Christians as
yet imperfect—not entirely freed from
sin. As long as we are in the flesh, we
shall have need of the daily cleansing,
and of the prayer the Savior taught,
‘ Forgive us our sins." The Holy Spir
it's sanctifying grace gradually con
forms us to the image of our Lord. Sal
vation is twofold first the “washing
of regeneration," by which we are made
the children of God, and the pledge of
the "renewing of the Holy Spirit," by
which we are daily led to grow in grace
and in the knowledge of our Lord. (Tit.
3:5; 2 Ptt. 3:18 ) That gracious sancti
fying work of the Spirit will becompkte
when we see the Lord. Till then no
one may claim “perfection” without
gross presumption. (Rom. 8:29; 2 Cor.
3:18; 1 John 3:2 ) What then, are we
to understand by the apostle's declara
tions in the other passages quoted? In
chap. 3:(>, John says: “Whosoever abid
eth in him sinneth not ” All who are
“born of God” abide in him. If the
words mean the sinlessness of some
Christians, who are supposed to have
reached a higher life, they teach the
sinlessnessof all who have become united
to Christ in the new birth. But that
would be manifestly absurd, being con
tradictory of universal Christian expe
rience. The apostle is presenting the
contrasted states of men the stved and
the unsaved—the believer and the sin
ner The law of the one state is sin; of
the other holiness The believer does
not sin as the law of his life; on the con
trary he is striving after freedom from
the dominion of sin. Sin is not the ten
dency and ideal of his renewed nature.
■ Sinning is not the on going and ulti
mate ot’ bis nature; but something tern
porary. to lie dropped away in the fill
tilling of the new nature.” (Sawtelle )
"The states of being begotten of God,
and of sin. are viewed as mutually ex
elusive ” This is the normal, ideal fact,
though not fully realized in this life.
The ideal will be reache I only when we
stand among the glorified Just here
our eye falls on this paragraph: ‘ Spur
geon said that two or three of his mem
tiers had become holy, but the church
had gotten rid of them, and he wished
it understood his church was composed
of the imperfect, and wished no others
in its membership ”
Dear Brother: We enjoy reading
the Asked and Answered column very
much We learn a great deal from it,
and we desire to ask a few questions:
1. Is it not true that the Jews derived
that name fr< m Judah, oneof the twelve
sons of Jacob, and was not the Sabbath
instl uted 2,000 years before his birth?
If so, how say you that it was a Jewish
institution and given only to the Jews?
2 If the fourth commandment was
done away when Christ died, were not
the other nine of the decalogue? and if
so,how can it be a sin to do those things
forbidden by that law. such as worship
ing idols, using the name of the Lord in
vain, dishonoring parents, killing, steal
ing, bearing false witness against a
neighbor, committing adultery, covet
oneness? When the ceremonial law was
done away the thing* required by it
were no longer necessary. t „• b.
1. We see no evidence in the Scrip
tures that the Sabtath was instituted
two thousand years before the bit th of
Judah. Gen 2:3 does not prove such
institution, as we could show if space
permitted, and we cared to elaborately
discuss this question again. Every ref
erenee to the Sabbath in the old Testa
rut nt shows that it was regirded as be
longing to the Jews only. Gentiles are
never rebuked for not observing it,
though nquired to conform to the law
whin in Jewish communities Then,
there is not a hint of any Sabbath ob
servance between Adam and Moses
Not one of the patriarchs observed it. so
far as the record shows. Gn the con
trary, when Moses first mentioned it in
the wilderness, the people had not heard
of it. (Ex 16:23 ) This is the first men
tion of the institution in the Bible. The
Revised Version does not have the defi
nite article the, "but has “a Sabbath,"
etc.
2. The only part of the law which
Paul specially singles out as “done
away" was that parr “written and en
graven on stones. " So far as we are told
the only part of the law so given was
the decalogue See 2 Cor. 3:1 11. Paul
makes no such distinction as “ceremo
niai" and "moral" law The law was re
garded as a whole by him and the New
testament writers, and as a whole was
“done away.” as a code, when the Gos
pel was established. The new wine was
not put intoold wine skins. (Matt 9:17 )
Under the “ministration of the Spirit ’
we are no longer under the “law" of
Moses Tnis is he teaching of Paul
throughout his epistles. Among many
passages we adduce only me: “My
brethren, ye were made dead to the Uw
through the tx>dy of Christ,"etc. (Rom
7.4 ) We citetnis text because the eon
text specially mentions the decalogue as
the law to which the believer has be
come dead Inverse Bhe saj - s: “But I
should not have known coveting, if the
law bad not said. ‘ I'houshalt not covet,’"
quoting the tenth commandment of the
decalogue Our contention is that that
Sinaic law was given to Israel as its
code—to the people whom God hai
brought out of Egypt There is not a
syllable in the Bible which says that
law was given to any other people. (Ex.
20.2 ) “I am the Lord thy God who
brought thee out of the land of Egypt.”
This verse is as much a part of the stone
law as the rest. So in the sanction to
the fifth commandment it is said, “that
thy days may be long upon the land
which the Loid thy God giveth thee."
What land? The land of Canaan, to
which he was leading the people to
whom the law was given. This is con
firmed by referring to Deut. 5:15 where
it is said. “And thou shalt remember
that thou wast a servant in the land of
Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought
thee out with a mighty hand and by a
stretched out arm: therefore, the Lord
thy Gcd commanded thee to keep the
Sabbath day " No, brother, the Sinaic
law is not the law of the children of the
Free Jerusalem. (Gal 4:21 31.)
What then? Are all the moral pre
cepts of the decalogue obsolete? By no
means It was just as wrong to steal
and murder before the ten command
ments were given as afterwards. Os
course our brother does not believe it
was right tosteal and murder before the
decalogue forbade these sins. Yet that
is the position his question asiumts.
These prohibitions are in the decalogue
because they were violative of the fun-
THE OHKISTIAN INDEX : THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1896
damental moral law written in the spir
itual being of humanity. The moral
principles underlying the decalogue are
eternal, not because they are in the dec
alogue, but because of their essentially
moral nature. Murder, adultery, steal
ing and false witness have ever been
sins, and continue to be whether the
decalogue, as a code, was superseded or
not. We believe the ethical principles
enunciated by the New Testament to be
very much higher than the decalogue.
We are to learn the righteousnes of ac
tion, not from Moses, but from Christ.
My Dear Doctor: I read Asked and
Answered and always feel strengthened
aid edified after having done so. Was
not Rev. 3:20 spoken to the Laodicean
church, and hence to believers? Can it
be said of all unbelievers that Christ
stands at the doors of their hearts and
knocks for admission. a. b. g,
Yes, the passage was written to the
Liodicean church, and primarily was a
promise to that church. The figure is
a beautiful one and quite frequent in the
Scriptures While this text was ad
dretsed to the believers, though it must
bi confessed the description of the Lao
diet arts would lead to grave doubt wheth
er they were anything but nominal be
lievers, the blessed grace which prompts
the promise seems as boundless as the
curse of sin Hence the Scriptures rep
resent the offer of salvation as universal.
The message of love is to be preached to
every creature, with the divine assur
ance that "whosoever shall call on the
name of the Lord shall be saved." All
sinners are invited to the feast. (Isa.
55:1 8; John 7:37; Acts 17:30; Rom.
10:11 13; Heb. 2:9) The doctrine that
God s prevenient grace is the only efti
cient cause moving to r< pentance and
acceptance of the offered grace, is no
ground for rejecting the equally true
d x:trine that every sinner has the offer
of salvation and may accept it. As Dr
J. A. Smith sj well says, “Whatever
of difficulty there way be in mutually
adjusting the human freedom and the
d.vine constraint, so that neither shill
invade the sphere of the other, it io cer
tain that the opening of the door is the
soul's own free act." (American Com
meutary.)
Brother Dobbs: Our church is in
trouble A certain man claiming to be
an accredited minister of another de
nomination, of which not much was
known in this community, asked the use
of our church for a series of lectures
Our pastor sail no, as he knew the said
man was creating disturbance and divi
sion wherever he lectured. Leading
brethren thought it would be misunder
stood if we refused the use of the house
They thought it would look “narrow ’
and “bigoted" as if we were “afraid of
discussion,” etc. The pastor held out
firmly, saying he could not cjnscien
tiously consent to having error taught
in the pulpit. The people have taken
sides, and very many are saying that our
pastor is wrong in the matter. The vis
iting pteacher had to go to the court
house to get a hearing. A conference
has been held (privately) and we have
agreed to ask the opinion of the Index.
L P. C.
Your pastor was right in objecting
The denomination referred to teaches
error which must be regarded as very
hurtful to sound doctrine. The dog
matic manner in which toe representa
tives of that denomination preach “soul
sleeping.” and their peculiar' second ad
vent 'vagarie--, should mark them as un
worthy of recognition by Baptiste. It is
wrong to encourage them in any way.
A pastor is under obligation to guard
his flock, and has a right to object to
having the pulpit, consecrated to the
proclamationof tiie Gospel, occupied by
proclaimed of such errors. There is en
tirely too much carelessness in guarding
the people against false teachers, who
seem to delight in producing divisions
in churches Let the errorists provide
their own pulpits if they must pi each
their heresies. (Gal. 1:6-10; 2 John
9, 10.)

CHEVES.—Died, on the morning of
Aug 18th, 1896, Marshall D Cheves,
son of Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Cheves, of
Montezuma, Ga.
The deceased was born and reared in
thia community and was known and
loved by all He nad just arrived at
the age of manhood, being in his twen
ty second yea* - , when death claimed him
for his own. Early in life he gave his
young heart to God, united with the
Baptist church, and was up to the time
of his death a regular and faithful at
tendant of both church and Sabbath
school. Although the dread messenger
came suddenly and without warning,
it found him ready.
Oh! the sweet consolation to those
dear ones left behind, to feel and know
that he is " waiting and watching at
the beautiful gate,” to welcome them
home on high.
It is hard for short sighted humanity
to see the wisdom of the all wise Ruler
in thus removing this only child from
the fond embrace of devoted parents.
** Not now. but in the coming years.
It may be in that better land,
We’ll read the meaning of our tears,
And then, upthere, we 11 understand.”
Each year bound him closer to their
loving hearts, as each year developed
in him those noble characteristics
which made him the joy and pride of a
happy home. Gifted by nature with a
bright intellect and high ambition, the
educational advantages which he en
joyed, placed him among the best edn
cated young men of our State He was
a graduate of Furman University, S C..
and had completed his first course in
the medical department of the Univer
sity of Virginia.
Generous, affable and kind hearted,
he was a favorite with both young and
old and a welcome guest in every home.
After an evening spent in social enjoy
ment, he returned to his home and
seemed in his usual good health. The
morning found him lying calm and
peaceful on his bed, but the death dew
was on his brow, and though a smile
was on his lips, the light had faded
from his eyes forever He had gone in
the stillness and darkness of the early
morn, no word of warning, no tender
ministrations of lov<ng hands, no fare
well kiss or fond good bye to father
and in >ther. Quietly and without a
struggle his spirit took its eternal
flight to bask in the sunlight of God's
tender love through all eternity. Two
crushed and broken hearts grieve and
weep for him in the dear old home; a
chair is vacant and a voice is hushed,
they miss a merry laugh and they listsn
in vain for a coming step. All that is
left them is the sweet memory of a
loving and dutiful son, and the hope of
a happy meeting in the bright beyond.

BURKS.—God in his providence saw
fit to call from us our beloved sister,
Mrs. Rachel E. Burks, who was born
September 15, 1848, married to Bro. W.
H. Burks December 10, 1 68, by Rev.
Wm. Thames, and was baptized into
the fellowship of Forest Grove Baptist
church August 14, 1875, by Rev. Trus
tin Phillips. For some time before her
death her health began to fail and she
lingered uutil the evening of May 30th,
1896, when God took her home.
She lived a devoted Christian life, a
useful member of the church, ready in
every good word and work. She loved
her Bible and delighted in the service of
the sanctuary. We miss her but re
joice to know that she is added to that
innumerable host in heaven singing the
glia s mgs of and the Lamb. We
offer to the and children our
tenderest and bid them re-
member her dyinm request, Meet me in
heaven.
Let her virtue linger in all our hearts
and the hope ot a happy reunion make
sadness give way to joy to her many
friends and relatives.
We say, Weep not, she is not dead but
sleepetb.

and a zealous Christian, zealous in Sun
day school and church work, whose ex
amples we recommend to others.
2 That we bow in humble submis
sion to his dispensation of providence,
and as a token of the esteem in which
we held her. that a page in the minute
book of this Sunday-school be inscribed
to her memory.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to her mother in Macon, with
the assurance that we believe her loss is
her daugtiter's eternal gain; a copy be
sent to Mr Fox, with the earnest hope
that he will follow her example and
take her place in the roll of church
workers, and be prepared for an eternal
meeting beyond.
4. That a copy of these -resolutions
be sent to the Index for publication.

JORDAN —“Sweet remembrance of
the dear sister.” Hattie Jordan in her
twentieth year, died Aug 30, 1896.
When small her dear father and mother
were laid to rest. There were seven
children left to mourn the loss of their

called home some time ago Now, this
dear sister has gone to meet those who
have gone before. She was cono'erted
three years ago and joined the Missions

member until death. Five dearly be
loved children are mourning her loss;
also many friends and relatives. May
they so live that at judgment day they
may be an unbroken family in heaven.
