expressions "definitely denies" "reasons away" and "cling closely to His Own
disclosures"? Our application of them compels us to believe that both our Lord and the
Apostle Paul actually meant the New Covenant when they used the words, and while we
cling closely to such a belief, we must maintain that the introduction of a New Covenant

We thank our critic for the unintended testimony he has given to the strength of our
position, but we are sorry that his attack should have (quite unconsciously no doubt)
questioned what God has said, discredited the concordant method of study, and
substituted human reasoning for simple acceptance of what is written.
