It passes rational comprehension that we are permitted to expunge from the Word of God, on the ground of literary criticism, the positive and repeated statements of inspired men, and of the Son of God, and yet assume that we have an unimpaired revelation! We rather turn to the glorious array of witnesses to the integrity of the Bible that God has furnished--the book itself, Moses and the prophets, all the New Testament writers and the "Teacher sent from God." From these witnesses we rest in the unshaken belief that "God spake all these words" (Ex. xx. 1) and that "Moses wrote all the words of the Lord" (Ex. xxiv. 4), including Leviticus. VI. ASSUMPTIONS CONCERNING THE BOOK OF ISAIAH. _"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for me?" Jer. xxxii. 27._ _"God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God." Psa. lxii. 11._ _"Great is our Lord, and of great power; his understanding is infinite." Psa. cxlvii. 5._ _"He revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and that the light dwelleth with him." Dan. ii. 2._ |
