and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth." Acts i. 8._
_"I speak the truth in Christ and lie not." Paul in 1 Tim. ii. 7._ _"Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth." The Apostle John in Rev. i. 5._ _"We know that thou art a teacher come from God, for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him," Nicodemus, in John iii. 2._ _"If I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?" Christ, in John viii. 46._ _"I am the way, the truth and the life." Christ, in John xiv. 6._ The opinions and testimony of the apostles are certainly worth something. They had three years of instruction under our Lord, and the promise from him that the Holy Spirit should guide them into all truth. (John xvi. 13.) A study of the writers of the New Testament proves that they are in absolute harmony with the writers of the Old Testament as to the Mosaic authorship of the five books of the Pentateuch. Luke ii. 22 informs us that the mother of Jesus, "when the days of her purification were accomplished according to the _law of Moses_," brought the child "to present him to the Lord." This was done, according to Leviticus xii. 2-6, and accredits that book to Moses, and not to some imaginary author. |
