A CHRISTIAN REPLY TO HEATHEN LOGIC.
A NATIVE of India has written a pamphlet to prove from the New Testament that Christ is not divine. In order to establish this proposition he uses the following logic:— "God is the Father;
Christ is not the Father;
Therefore Christ is not God." A Christian native answers this logician as follows, the reply having been translated by Rev. Joseph H. Gill, a Methodist missionary:— "When we examine the New Testament further, we find the above assertion has abundant refutation. For instance, whoever possesses power over heaven and earth, he is God; but Christ has all power in heaven and in earth, therefore he is God. "Again, whoever is in existence the first and the last, he is God. But Christ is the first and the last, therefore he is God. "Again, whoever holds the keys of death and of the unseen world, he is God; but Christ holds the keys of death and of the unseen world, therefore Christ is God. "Again, whoever is the creator of the universe, he is God; but, according to John 1:3 and Col. 1:16, Christ is the Creator of the universe, therefore Christ is God."—Selected.
