Glenn H. Davis, Clintonv'llf! Bapti t ~ hurch, Columbu . It originally ap– peared m the Columbus Dispatch. We feel it bear repeating in the 0.1.B. More of our pa tor should make u e of their local new paper. letting folk k:a1ow ju t where they tand 10 th1 age of unbelief. The Chri t-denier and th~ e who declare that 'God is dead' are Quick to tell their view . We ought to be wi e and use ths n1edium to pread the TRUTH! To the Editor: There are too many people jnter– preting the Bible for others who ob– viou ly 'under tand neither what they ay nor whereof they affirm' ( I Tim. 1:7). This precious Book, inspired of God, make it perfectly clear that "the natural (Adamic) man receiveth not the thing of the pirit of God, for they are foolishness (absurd ) un– to him; neither can he know them ' becau e they are piritually (Divinely or of the Hol y Spirit ) di cerned" ( I Cor. 2: 14). Therefore he that i piritual ( a man of Holy pirit di cernment) di cerneth all thing ' ( l Cor. 2: 15) and not another. Pastor Canterbury Ordained The Fairfield Bapti t Church of Thur ton, Ohio recently called to– gether a council of 16 to exan1ine for ordination their pastor Brother D. D. anterbury. Thi pecial erv– ice was held in the Bible Mi ion Bapti t Church of Reynold burg, 0. After a mo t thorough examina– tion of the candidate, the council voted u nami nously to recommend to the Fairfield Bapti t hurch that they proceed with an ordination ervice. 1 he council was well plea e(i with Brother anterbury's plendid pre en– ta ti on of hi e; doctrinal views. Furthermore, this preciou Book of Book teache that in order to be under tood by man this Book mu t be ~t11died. I quote: "Study to how thy elf ap– proved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2: 15). It is of intere t to note that in the study of this Book if we are to come to an understanding of it, we mu t maintain a right motive throughout. In rightly dividing' thi Book of God, we mu t compare piritual thing with spiritual." Bringing the language of thi text up to date it read : "comparing scrip– ture with cripture." This we mu t do if we are to "rightl y divide the word of truth." Let anyone know and own him elf a si nner before God, accept the Lord Je u Chri t a hi own per ona1 avior and "then tudy to show him- elf approved unto God' and he will discover, to hi own ble ing and that of other , that the Bible, the word God. i al.I it claim to be. namely. the revelation of the Living and True God to inful man.
