The Spirit and the Truth.

“WILL you please answer through the Review the following questions:—
“1. It is admitted by your people that the law, in the Christian dispensation, is written in the heart of the believer. This must be done at conversion, and by the Spirit of God. See 2 Cor. 3. Why is it that, to find the law complete, you must go to the 20th of Exodus? Would not one who is truly converted to God know his duty if he had never seen an Old Testament? Would not the principles of the moral requirements of God be made known to the convert if he had never seen a copy of the Scriptures?”
“2. Is the fourth commandment a moral law? If so, is not the morality of that commandment fulfilled in giving God one day in seven without any reference to a particular day?”
“3. Would not this fulfill Rom. 7: 6, ‘that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter’?”
“Yours, seeking for light,
“A READER.”
