_Question_. Were both these persons inspired by the same God? 412 _Answer_. Of course. _Question_. Why were the miracles recorded in the New Testament performed? _Answer_. The miracles were the evidence relied on to prove the supernatural origin and the divine mission of Jesus Christ. _Question_. Aside from the miracles, is there any evidence to show the supernatural origin or character of Jesus Christ? _Answer_. Some have considered that his moral precepts are sufficient, of themselves, to show that he was divine. _Question_. Had all of his moral precepts been taught before he lived? _Answer_. The same things had been said, but they did not have the same meaning. _Question_. Does the fact that Buddha taught the same tend to show that he was of divine origin? _Answer_. Certainly not. The rules of evidence applicable to the Bible are not applicable to other books. We examine other books in the light of reason; the Bible is the only exception. So, we should not judge of Christ as we do of any other man. _Question_. Do you think that Christ wrought 413 many of his miracles because he was good, charitable, and filled with pity? _Answer_. Certainly _Question_. Has he as much power now as he had when on earth? _Answer_. Most assuredly. _Question_. Is he as charitable and pitiful now, as he was then? _Answer_. Yes. _Question_. Why does he not now cure the lame and the halt and the blind? _Answer_. It is well known that, when Julian the Apostate was dying, catching some of his own blood in his hand and throwing it into the air he exclaimed: "Galileean, thou hast conquered!" _Question_. Do you consider it our duty to love our neighbor? _Answer_. Certainly. _Question_. Is virtue the same in all worlds? _Answer_. Most assuredly. _Question_. Are we under obligation to render good for evil, and to "pray for those who despitefully use us"? _Answer_. Yes. _Question_. Will Christians in heaven love their neighbors? 414 _Answer_. Y es; if their neighbors are not in hell. _Question_. Do good Christians pity sinners in this world? _Answer_. Yes. _Question_. Why? _Answer_. Because they regard them as being in great danger of the eternal wrath of God. _Question_. After these sinners have died, and been sent to hell, will the Christians in heaven then pity them? _Answer_. No. Angels have no pity. _Question_. If we are under obligation to love our enemies, is not God under obligation to love his? If we forgive our enemies, ought not God to forgive his? If we forgive those who injure us, ought not God to forgive those who have not injured him?
