ISAIAH 2.2-4 1/2 (BEEBE)

"And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2.2-4)

Brother Beebe: Please give your views on Isaiah 2:2-4. We live where we can have the pleasure of hearing the gospel preached but once a month, and even then I often have to stay at home: but if I can have your valuable paper to read, it is richly stored with fruit that is sweeter to me than honey, and I am often made to rejoice in God my Savior, for his goodness and mercy in calling poor lost sinners out of darkness into his marvelous light, for

He takes my soul, e'er I’m aware 

And shows me where his glories are.

Yours in Christian bonds, Barbary Bruce.

EXODUS 13.17-18 (BEEBE)

“And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; but God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.”

PSALM 37.1 (BEEBE)

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.”

PSALM 16.10 (BEEBE)

Brother Moody, of Maine, desires our views on the words, “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell.” Psalm 16:10.

PROVERBS 22.6 (BEEBE)

In reply to a sister who has desired our views on the text: “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

PROVERBS 1.24-26 (BEEBE)

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded, But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

THE SCHIZOPHRENIC GOD OF ARMINIANISM (SANTAMARIA)

We were inspired to write this article by a sermon preached by a Reformed Baptist pastor on YouTube.  He asserted the typical reformed view that there are at least two wills.  There are NOT two wills in God's mind, there is only one all-inclusive will - his eternal purpose and will that existed before the foundation of the world - ed.

EZEKIEL 18.27-31(BEEBE)

Elder Beebe: - If it is not trespassing on your tune and patience too much, you will oblige an occasional reader of the “Signs of the Times” by giving your views on Ezekiel 18:27,31; also 33:11.

Very respectfully,
E.G.D.
Howard Co., MD, Nov. 22, 1862.

EZEKIEL 33.11 (BEEBE)

ELDER G. BEEBE AND SON – DEAR SIRS: – Please give your views on this passage of scripture, and oblige a reader of the SIGNS: “God wills not the death of any, but would rather all would turn unto him and live.” I have been searching for this passage, but failed to find it, and consequently cannot tell where to find it, but I have heard it quoted frequently by revivalists.

Yours truly,
A WELL WISHER.

II PETER 1.10 (BEEBE)

"Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall."

EXAMINATION OF A PAMPHLET TITLED "TRUTH AS IT IS" Circulated Among the Members of the Agingdon Ass'n With a Refutation of false statements and misrepresentations where in contained, in regard to the Warwick and Abington Associations 5

This last installment is part of a series that reached up to part 4.  We apologize for not realizing that there was additional text in this 5th part that was not in the previous parts.  We think the material is essential to understanding what was happening during the Old/New School split in the 1830s.  For those who have not read the previous parts we included them in this link:

II PETER 1.9 (BEEBE)

In his letter on the first page of this number, Brother Mitchell has desired us to express our views on 2 Peter i. 9, “But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.”

We "celebrate" Reformation Month with the truth about these Reformers (perhaps an inconvenient truth).  These are facts that all knowledgeable historians know, but few talk about. - ed

I PETER 5.5, ROMANS 12.10 1/2 (BEEBE)

Elder Beebe: I have been in the habit of reading your editorials for the last few years and being highly pleased with them, I would like to have your views on I Peter 5:5, and Romans 12:10. By giving them you will oblige,

I PETER 4.18 (BEEBE)

DEAR ELDER: – I would like to know your mind on I Peter iv. 18. (And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. ) Do you think Peter means the righteous of the law or the righteous of the faith of Jesus Christ?

Yours in hope of eternal life,

GENESIS 6.5-7 (BEEBE)

In regard to the text, Gen. vi. 5-7, we have neither time nor space to treat largely upon the subject.

I PETER 4.4-7 (BEEBE)

We have always regarded the passages proposed for consideration among the most obscure and hidden parts of the Scriptures, and what we now venture to write upon the subject, is humbly submitted to the consideration of our readers with much hesitation and trembling. Brethren will read our remarks carefully, and compare them with the infallible standard of truth, and wherein they may find our views at fault, kindly point out to us the more excellent way, and their faithful words shall not break our bones, but be an excellent oil.

I PETER 3.21 (BEEBE)

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I PETER 3.8 (BEEBE)

"Finally, be ye all of one mind."

I CORINTHIANS 1.30 (BEEBE)

A CORRESPONDENT in Virginia inquires whether the text 1 Cor. i.30, teaches that the preacher is of God, Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption, or that Christ has made these things unto us?

II CORINTHIANS 11.2-3 (GILBERT BEEBE)

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so poor minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”

DECLARATION OF WELSH TRACT BAPTIST CHURCH

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TAKEN BY PRAYER 10/10 (WILLIAM HUNTINGTON)

My mistress finding that she could not get me altogether stripped of the peace and happiness I then enjoyed, went another way to work; for, whenever any minister or professor came to her house, she informed them of my preaching; and, as I could not pray with her, she told them I was so spiritually proud that I would not join with her in prayer. It was not, however, my pride, but her sin, that stopped the mouth of prayer; for how can a person pray with people one minute, and quarrel with them the next? Whatever Christian or minister called at the house was sure (after having a little conference with her) to come to me at the wharf, saying, "So, my friend, you preach, I am informed; take heed you do not run before you are sent," &c. Others would come to me, saying, "Beware of pride, my friend; pride is dangerous." And others would tell me of the importance of the ministerial work, without telling me wherein my sufficiency lay.

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TAKEN BY PRAYER 9/10 (WILLIAM HUNTINGTON)

This thing staggered me exceedingly, as I could not reconcile the Lord's astonishing love for me with the saints' hatred against me. On the next Lord's Day, I went out of the meeting and walked to and fro from Hampton Wick to Hampton Court Green.

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TAKEN BY PRAYER 8/10 (WILLIAM HUNTINGTON)

Indeed I used such simple expressions, and such familiarity, with my sweet Saviour, as I chose to conceal; being aware that I shall be styled an enthusiast for relating my inability to fetch a hoe or a rake. And indeed I should not have mentioned that circumstance, had not the Holy Ghost left the following simple expression of Peter's, upon the mount, on record, when he desired Christ to assist him in building "three [earthly] tabernacles; one for Moses, one for Jesus, and one for Elias." Fine buildings for the Lord and two glorious spirits to reside in! However, God's word has informed us that he knew not what he said. And yet I think none but a feel will call Peter an enthusiast for desiring to detain such a blessed company as he was within the visions of God.

Thus, courteous reader, I have gone a little out of my intended way, in order to answer thy supposed question; and I hope God will enable thee to make a comfortable use of it But to return-

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TAKEN BY PRAYER 6/10 (WILLIAM HUNTINGTON)

Sometimes, in reading the Bible, I have received a little encouragement from these words, "Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men;" but then, in a few minutes after, this passage would come, and, to my confused judgment, contradict it: "Verily I say unto you, that man shall give an account for every idle word." My mind and judgment were so confused, that I could not reconcile these two passages of scripture together; and, indeed, all the scriptures seemed to contradict each other throughout the whole book.

My fellow workmen perceived me to sit silent at the pay table, while they were so jovial, and finding that I would not join with them for liquor when at work, they suspected I had caught a religious infection.

Amos also informs you how God called him; as it is written, "Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman and a gatherer of sycamore fruit: and the Lord took me as I followed the flock; and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel."
