Reply to Mr. Vernon Graeser

In the July 1st issue of The Standard Bearer brother Vernon Graeser of Tucson, Arizona, asked the undersigned for a reply to several questions he raised that have to do with Christian Economics. He suggested that we write a few articles in the SB answering the questions he would like answered. To this request we now reply.

Part 2—Exposition of the Canons, Fifth Head of Doctrine. Of the Perseverance of the Saints. Rejection of Errors, Article 7 (cont’d)

As we mentioned last time, our fathers in this article reject the Arminian contention that temporary faith and saving faith differ only in duration with an appeal to the Parable of the Sower, or, more correctly, the Parable of the Four Kinds of Soil.

They single out the stony soil, undoubtedly because, as we have seen, Scripture specifically mentions that these believe for a while and later fall away.

Interest upon The Principal (2)

About a year and a half ago we made the acquaintance of a Baptist on the train to Denver.

I Corinthians 15:39-49 Paul is answering the two questions which he raised in verse 35. The questions are: 1. How are the dead raised up? 2. With what body do they come forth?

Joseph’s Economic Policies

Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.

As to Being Protestant Reformed

It stands to reason that, if we believe that the covenant is the bond of friendship between God and His people in Christ Jesus, and that it is established with Christ and in Him with all whom the Father gave Him, we must also maintain the Scriptural truth of predestination, i.e. election and its counter­part, reprobation.
