QUES. 2. In obedience to 2 Tim. 2:21-in separation to the name of the Lord, is one to purge himself from vessels to dishonor only, or from the " great-house?"

Is the " great-house " all that calls itself Christian ?

ANS.-From the vessels to dishonor, clearly. There is only one house, the house of God; but it has become like a great house, to which the apostle therefore compares it. We cannot leave Christendom, but only what defiles it. Soon, all that man has built in will be tried by fire; but God has given us His word to judge by now, and he who names the name of the Lord must depart from iniquity.
