D. W. CANRIGHT

By Dudley Marvin Canright

A FOOLISH ARGUMENT.—One argument that is very often used by those who oppose present truth, is this: When you read a text of scripture that contradicts their doctrine, and they are not able to refute it, they will say, Well, you understand the Bible better than I do, and so you have the advantage of me. Thus they teach that the Bible contradicts itself. Now apply their argument to grammar. Suppose two men were parsing, and should disagree about the rules, and one should read the rule to support what he had said. But the other not being able to do the same, should say, Well, you understand grammar the best, therefore you have the advantage of me. Would not any one say that it was a poor excuse? If the other knew the most about grammar, he should have listened to him.
