this purpose. The 14th
verse says, "which veil was done away in Christ." Again, if the
commandments were done away here, how could those "who teach them be of
great esteem in the reign of heaven;" and how could they teach them
without knowing the words from the decalogue? "The law of grace and the
law of Christ" would darken counsel without knowledge. If the tables of
stone were done away here, where are the commandments referred to so many
times in the new testament for us to keep, and how useless for Christ to
come at the first advent and write them in our hearts, if they were not to
be kept. Now this epistle is dated at Phillippi, A.D. 60; twenty-seven
years after the crucifixion.

The date of the other three Pillars, as stated, are, 1st, Rom. xiv: 5, 6,
Corinthus, A.D. 60. 2d, Col. ii: 14-17, Rome, A.D. 64. 3d, Gal. ii-vi.,
Rome, A.D. 58. Now remember what I stated before, that if the commandments
or Sabbath ever were abolished, the proof is contained in these four
principal texts or Pillars, and it was all done at the crucifixion or
death of Jesus; see Col. ii: 11, "nailing it to the cross," (in A.D. 33).
Now Paul's first letter to the Corinthians was dated at the same place one
year before his second letter, A.D. 59. Here he says, chapter vii: 19,
"circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing but the _keeping_
of the _commandments_ of God." Again, we will now go to the chapter to
which you exultingly point your readers, for the abolition of this same
law and commandments, viz. Rom. vii: 6, "But now we are delivered from the
law," &c. What law? Answer--the very same that you have had to make your
four Pillars of, viz. the law of Moses, the Jewish ritual. "What shall we
say then, is the law sin?" [You say it is.] Paul says, "God forbid," and
he quotes the tenth commandment to prove it; 7th verse, and then in the
12th directs us to the whole law of God, thus--"WHEREFORE THE LAW IS HOLY,
AND THE COMMANDMENTS HOLY, JUST AND GOOD." Now, I say, here is testimony
that all the opposers of God's law cannot impeach, and it utterly
demolishes and overthrows every idea that has been presented for the last
fifteen hundred years against the whole ten commandments and law of God.
It _nails_ the _point down twenty-seven years_ after the Jewish rites and
ceremonials in the law of Moses were nailed to the cross, as you and all
of your faith say it was, and fully and clearly sustains all the
scriptural arguments herein prese
