Divine Origin of the Scriptures.

You believe the truths of the Bible are the discoveries of human reason. If the inspired writers had claimed for themselves the authorship of the Scriptures, you would have acknowledged their claim. But because they gave to God the glory of having inspired them to write it, you believe they lied. You would force them to wear the honor, thus making them the best of men, and the same time branding them liars.
My brother, is it not a settled principle in law, that a man's admissions are evidence against himself. And will you, who have set at the feet of Gamaliel, so forget his teachings as to force upon them the glory they acknowledge belongs to the Most High? Can you, a lawyer, adjudge the glory to the party that admits the claim of the other?—Suissac.
