T. The truth will not justify you. The truth should make you free. C. I am free; I never was a slave. Why will not the truth justify me? T. Because it is rejected by you, and error is often encouraged. C. What have I rejected? T. You have not rejected some errors, but many facts. C. What fact have I rejected? T. The fact that God is just to all. C. If he had been just to all, we should not have been spared the vengeance of his wrath. T. How do you know? C. Because his wrath is withheld on account of his Son. T. How do you know that his wrath is withheld? C. Because we do not receive our just deserts. T. What are our just deserts? C. The vengeance and wrath of God, forever. T. How can you tell what you do not know? C. I can tell what I believe. T. On what evidence is that belief predicated? C. On the word of God. T. Will you read that word? C. Thou shalt not see me without repentance. T. Thy memory will not read truly. C. But that is the meaning of the passage. T. I will aid you right. C. Go on. T. “The gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” C. That is not the passage. T. Then, I can not find it. C. But you know the word of God is true. T. It is true; but not your saying. C. I see you will not consent to any thing. T. I will not dissent from a fact. C. How will you get a fact? T. By experiment, by demonstration, and by knowing. C. Would you reject what you do not know? T. I would receive what I know, and look for the evidence of what I do not know. C. On what page of revelation would you look? T. On the first page. C. That aids but little. T. Then, I would turn to the second page, and so on, until I found wisdom. C. Then, the Bible is your wisdom. T. The Bible contains much wisdom, but nature more. C. Is nature more wise than revelation? T. I have said, it is. C. How can that be, when revelation came from God? T. Nature is the work of God, and revelation is the work of nature. Nature is the first page of revelation, and the whole which can be revealed. Nature, or the wisdom of God, displayed in his work, is only revealed in part, and, therefore, is less than nature. C. But when revelation contradicts nature, what will you do? T. I will say, it can not contradict nature, for nature is true to itself. C. But the Bible contradicts nature. T. How, and wherein? C. The sun and moon stood still for Joshua to slay his enemies.
