The comments/questions in this publication have been downloaded from the Internet and forwarded to us with a request that some Scriptural answers would be given to them.
Trusting that we have the mind of the Lord in undertaking this task, we notice at once that they are of a different spirit than those given to us in the first volume of “Questions.” Very few of these remarks are in the form of questions; they are more like statements and judgments. This makes us wonder whether the people who have made them are really searching for the truth. Having stated in the sub-title of the book that our object is to answer “good” questions, we hope that these questions are just that. If they come from “an honest and good heart” (Luke 8:1515But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. (Luke 8:15)), they are good questions. Since love “believeth all things,” and “hopeth all things” (1 Cor. 13:77Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. (1 Corinthians 13:7)), we hope and pray that there is indeed an honest and teachable spirit with each one who has made the remarks.
Some of the comments/questions that have been submitted to us have been condensed for the purpose of this publication, but we have sought to preserve the very words as much as possible, so as not to misrepresent the persons who have given them (Matt. 12:2727And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. (Matthew 12:27)).
