1. Numbers 23:19 “God is NOT A MAN THAT HESHOULD LIE; neither the son of man, that he should
repent: HATH HE SAID, AND SHALL HE NOT DO
IT?or HATH HE SPOKEN, AND
SHALL HE NOTMAK E IT GOOD?”
2. Romans 4:20-21. [Speaking of Abraham]: “He
staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but
was strong in faith, giving glory to God; (21) And being

HE WAS ABLE ALSO TO PERFORM .”

PRESERVED HEBREW WORDS“Some of these rules may appear extreme and
absurd, yet they show how sacred the Holy Word
of the Old Testament was to its custodians, theJews (Rom. 3:2), and they give us strongencouragement to believe that WE HAVE THE
REAL OLD TESTAMENT, THE SAMEONE WHICH OUR LORD HAD ANDWHICH WAS ORIGINALLY GIVEN BY

They wrote:“Little is gained by speculating as to the precise
point at which SUCH CORRUPTIONS
CAME IN. THEY MAY BE DUE TO THEORIGINAL WRITER, OR TO HIS
AMANUENSIS if he wrote from dictation, or
they may be due to one of the earliest
transcribers.” [F. J. A. Hort, & B. F. Westcott,
Introduction to Their Greek New Testament, p.280]

West c o t t Doubt ed
Bibl ic al MIRACLES
Writing in his Diary, August 11, 1847, Bishop B.F. Westcott wrote:
“I never read an account of a MIRACLE but Iseem instinctively to feel ITSIMPROBABILITY , and discover some WANT
OF EVIDENCE in the account of it.” [ArthurWestcott, Life and Letters of B. F. Westcott, Vol. I,

Writing to Mr. H. Brinton, January, 1886, Hort said:[Referring to Article IX of the 39 Articles of the
Anglican Church] “The authors of the Article
doubtless assumed t he s t r ic t ly HISTORICALCHARACTER of t he ac c ount of t he FALL INGENESIS. This assumption is now, in my belief, NO

How I shouldlike a talk with you about it! In spite of
