Some questions to be answered by the man who pounds the Bible and claims to understand the Greek scriptures: 1. Who were the sons of God? 2. How many were there present, and were there still more of them elsewhere? 3. Where did they come from? 4. Were they any relation to the people of Nod? 5. Who were their mothers? 6. What were their occupations? 7. Where are they now? 8. Where did the Devil come from? 9. Did God create him or did he make himself? 10. If God made him then is he not responsible for all that old Nick does? 11. If he is as terribly demoniacal as orthodox theology describes him, "why in 'l don't God kill the Devil?" 12. If he cannot kill him does it not prove that the Devil is his match; and if he can, but will not, does it not prove that he sustains him and approves of his work? 13. In the light of modern theology is not the Devil almost always successful? Does he not have a larger kingdom, a larger following than God? 14. Why did the Creator inflict such a hellish punishment upon Adam and Eve, and let the Serpent off so lightly? 15. Has the punishment inflicted upon the Devil lessened his power? 16. Have the curses which God has pronounced on the world made it better? 17. Is there any place in the record, accounts of the Devil's stealing, robbing, and murdering? 18. Are there not numerous stories in the Bible recounting the robberies and murders perpetrated in the name and by the sanction of God? Some times the people of God destroyed five thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand, seventy thousand, and in one instance six hundred and seventy thousand, as in the case of Pharaoh and his hosts in the Red sea. Did Satan ever try to do anything as hellish as this? 19. Is the Devil the father of lies? When did he tell a deliberate falsehood? To Eve? Oh no, it was the other party who did that business. 20. Did he lie when he took Jesus up into an exceeding high mountain, etc., and saith unto him, "All these will I give thee," etc.? (Mat. 4 : 8.) It is claimed that old Beelzebub lied on this occasion. It would hit the bull's eye in the center if we were to say that the writer of this story about Jesus being carried off bodily into an exceeding high mountain, was the boy responsible for this lie. But without resting the case there let us see how it opens out. It is urged that "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof;" but it may be urged that the Devil is called "the prince of this world," implying that he has just claims both by conquest and possession; and therefore he could have given at least a quitclaim deed.
