which_o if_o we_o grant_v than_o not_o only_o our_o ministry_n and_o baptism_n but_o the_o scripture_n also_o must_v be_v antichristian_a

too_o how_o will_v he_o help_v it_o if_o he_o say_v the_o scripture_n come_v forth_o from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o be_v receive_v so_o say_v i_o our_o ordination_n come_v from_o jesus_n christ_n
