QUESTION.

By Editor

The question before the class for consideration was this: “Was provision made for man’s redemption before the fall?” On this it was remarked that we have no positive information in the Bible on the point. There are some expressions from which an inference might perhaps be drawn that such provision was made; while from Spiritual Gifts, Vol. ii, p. 28, and onward, it might be inferred that the plan of salvation was devised after the fall, to meet the necessity arising from that event. Some thought it would be better for correspondents to confine their questions to matters more clearly revealed. But as this might be raised with some as an objection to Spiritual Gifts, it was considered a practical question, and one worthy of examination. No decision, however, being arrived at in the discussion, the question was left open till next week.
