There Is One God.

By M. S. Merriam

I SEE in REVIEW, Vol. 37, No. 12, that Bro. Canright states some of the proofs of the immortality of the soul, that are assumed by some; and one is, that it is self-evident, and taken as understood without being declared in so many words, the same as the “existence of God is understood, while it is nowhere positively asserted in the Bible.” I understand him to admit in his argument, that the Bible does not declare that there is a God.
I think this must be a mistake; for I read in 1 Cor. 8:6, “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” Also 1 Tim. 2:5, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
Are not these positive declarations that there is a God? I think so.
Yours for the truth,                     M. S. MERRIAM. Battle Creek, Mich.
