Q. 9.-Does Romans 7:8-11 give the experience of an unconverted man, whose conscience has, however, been awakened in presence of the law ?

A. No, but rather the experience which is worked out in detail from the fourteenth verse. We only learn what death is after we have come to live.

Q. 10.-Will you explain Romans 8:10 ?

A "The body is dead is dead because of sin:" does not receive the spiritual life which the man himself does. Faith and sense (the body), as tendencies, are opposed; faith having to do with things unseen. This life of faith which the Spirit produces and sustains is the only thing which produces practical righteousness, or is really, therefore, "life."

Q. 11.-John 6:56?

A. "Dwelleth in Me, and I in him" is the same expression as chap. 15:4,5, and applied by the Lord to Himself and the Father (ch. 14:10.). If the branch abides in the vine really, the sap, which is the vine in its living power (comp. 1 Jno. 3:15.), abides in the branch. This vital participation in Christ manifests itself actively as a life of dependence and communion, in which Christ is the sustenance of the soul; and Christ dead for us, His flesh and His blood apart.

Q. 12.-Leviticus 7:26, 27?

A. The prohibition of eating blood is explained in chap. 17:10-12 to be because it is the practical life of all flesh, given on the altar in atonement. God was thus to be owned as the sole and sovereign Disposer of it, and as the One who had provided ill grace the forfeit incurred by man. The decision in Acts 15:29 shows that we are bound by the terms of the Noachian covenant. Spiritually, we do drink the blood; entering by faith into the value of the atonement.

Q. 13.-In John 3:8, have we how a man is born again, or what? A. First, that he is born by the sovereign power of God, uncontrollable as the wind; secondly, that there is evidence-fruit of the Spirit,-as of where the wind is. " So " is every one that is born of the Spirit-1:e., this is the way with him.

Q. 14.-In 1 Timothy 2:15, is the " salvation " here deliverance from death ?

A. " She shall be delivered in the hour of her trial:that which bears the stamp of judgment shall be an occasion of the mercy and succor of God." (Synopsis.)

15.-The anointing with oil in James 5:14 is certainly not medical treatment, but a type and sign of the presence and power of the Spirit to heal.
