Excerpt from What the Bible Teaches: A Thorough and Comprehensive Study of What the Bible Has to Say Concerning the Great Doctrines of Which It Treats

Some of the propositions in this book may appear new and even startling to many, but it is believed that they fairly and exactly state the contents Of the passages upon which they are based.

It is hoped that the book will prove Of interest and help, both to those who believe in the Divine origin Of the Bible and to those who do not. One of the most satisfactory ways of determining whether the Bible is of Divine origin or not, is by finding out precisely what it teaches and whether there is one deep philosophy running through the book composed by such a multiplicity and variety Of human authors. The writer must confess that his own conviction that there was one Author back Of the many writers, and that that one Author was God, has ever deepened as he studied.

Excerpt from What the Bible Teaches: A Thorough and Comprehensive Study of What the Bible Has to Say Concerning the Great Doctrines of Which It Treats

As the aim of this book is to ascertain and state in systematic form what the Bible teaches, the method pursued will be to first give the Scripture statements, and then sum up their con tents in a proposition, following the proposition by such comments as may appear necessary.

I. The fact that God is Spirit.

Jno. 4: 24 - "God is (a) Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

First Proposition: God is Spirit.

Question: What is spirit?

Answer: Luke 24: 39 - "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." A spirit is incorporeal, invisible reality. To say God is spirit is to say God is incorporeal and in visible. (Compare Deut., 4: 15-18.)

Question: What does it mean, then, when it says in Gen. 1:27: "God created man in his own image?"

The answer to this question is plainly given in the following passages:

Col. 3: 10 - "And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him."

Eph. 4: 23, 24 - "And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which, after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness."

Col. 1: 15 - "Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature." (Compare Tim. 1: 17.)

The words "image" and "likeness" evidently do not refer to visible or bodily likeness, but to intellectual and moral likeness - likeness "in knowledge," "righteousness" and "holiness of truth."
