QUESTIONS Propounded by the Natural Man BY WAY OF REASONING And answered by the Spiritual Man But the Natural Man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him neither can he know them It is written for the use of them that halteth that they may be gathered In which reason Babylon is fanned and her Land emptied for so it is written Whereunto is added a few lines for the Rulers of the Land in love to their souls Jer. 51.1 2. Thus saith the Lord Behold I will raise up against Babylon and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me a destroying VVinde and will send unto Babylon Fanners that shall fan her and shall empty her Lands for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about Natural Man Quest WAS not Adam the first man that was created of the earth and had not he Dominion over all things that was created of the earth and was not he the son of God and did not he beget sons and is there any son born which was not by him or his sons begotten Answ He was the first man that was created and had dominion ove all things that was created of the earth Gen. 1.30 Luk. 4.38 and was the son of God and did beget sons but the first born of every creature was not by him nor his sons begotten for he was not born of the will of man but of God and was before all things that are made for by him was all things created that are in Heaven and that are in Earth Joh. 1.13 Col. 1 16. Q. How can this thing be can there be a Son before there be a Father and was not Adam the Father of all the sons of men and was not he the Son of God as it is written had God any other son before him if so who was his Mother for the sons of Adam had Eve to their Mother Gen. 3.20 A. As Adam was formed of the dust and Eve of him and as from them came sons of the same nature Psal 22.30 1 Cor. 15.47 their descent not counted from them Heb. 7.6 even so the second man and his generation is from Heaven Heavenly and their Mother is New Jerusalem which is above and ber children are partakers of the Divine Nature Gal. 4.26 2 Pet. 1.4 Quest How of Divine Nature What Nature is that I cannot tell what thou saist but the nature whereof we are and from whence it springs I knoweth for it 's of the earth but what is the Divine Nature and from whence is it and what is its root Ans God is the Root and from him it springs and we are his off-spring Acts 17.28 as thou art the off-spring of Adam the first man Isa 11.10 Rev. 22.16 Job 21.8 Q. How art thou the off-spring of God and a partaker of the Divine Nature Why then thou art God A. Nay not so for that which depends upon another is not God but changed and joyned to the Lord the one Spirit 1 Cor. 6 17. Q. But how camest thou to be partaker of the Divine Nature Ioh. 6.57 thou was one in nature with us A. Ye we were and by it children of wrath even as others Eph. 2.3 Q. But how camest thou to be partaker of the Divine Nature can any be partaker of it in this world A. Yea if they believe in the Light and obey it for in it is it reserved Q. This is that we cannot believe in Ioh. 14.17 because we see it not A. I came to be partaker of the Divine Nature which thou canst not whilest thou art in the unbelief by the free grace of God through Jesus Christ Q. Why I hope to be saved by Jesus Christ after death although we are sinners whilest we are here in this world for he dyed for our sins and was raised again for our Justification and we believing this shall have his righteousness imputed unto us for we believe on him who justifieth the ungodly Rom. 4.5 A. The flesh justifieth not nor saveth but the life and that he justifieth the ungodly Joh. 6 63. Rom. 5.10 Prov. 17.15 is true but that he justifieth them in ungodliness is false for that is an abomination to the Lord. Q. We have been caught so and we know no other way for to be justified but what saist thou is the way by which God justifieth the ungodly A. By the obedience of Christ Jesus the Just who suffered for us Phil. 2.8 1 Pet. 3.18 Heb. 10.20 1 Pet. 3.18 Heb. 2.14 1 Ioh. 3. ●8 and consecrated a new and living way through the vail that is to say his flesh in which he suffered death and being put to death in the flesh but quickned by the spirit that he might destroy him that had the power ●o death that is the Devil and for this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the Devil and deliver them who through fear of death were all their life time subject to bondage Heb. 2.15 Q. But did not he destroy all the works of the devil when he suffered without the Gates of Jerusalem A. Nay Q. What did he do them A. Consecrate a new and living way for us that as he suffered in the flesh for us we should arm our selves with the same mind Heb. 10.20 1 Pet. 4.1 1 Cor. 1.18 Gal. 6.14 1 Ioh. 3.8 1 Tim. 5.9 1 Joh. 5.4 Heb. 12.2 Rom. 4.3.5.1 humbling our selves to the cross which is the Power by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world through which the Son of God destroyeth the works of the Devil and so the mystery of Faith comes to be held in a pure conscience which gives us the victory over the world and so Christ is the author and finisher of our Faith which is counted unto us for righteousness and thus we are justified not in sin but in righteousness Q. What in this world A. Yea we are and he was so in this world 1 Joh. 4.17 Heb. 12.23 Joh. 1.1.8 Q. We cannot believe that A. What dost thou believe then Q. This we believe That we are righteous in him although in our selves we are sinners and are under condemnation A. Thy Faith is against the Scriptures Q. How so A. The Scripture saith There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus and if any be in Christ he is a new Creature but thy Faith is Rom. 8.1 2 Cor. 5.17 that thou art righteous in Christ and that thou saist Thou art under condemnation so thy faith is against Scripture and knowledge both Q. Why this is that we have been taught to believe and I judge our Teachers do know what they do teach and in it I have peace oft times A In thee is fulfilled the Scripture which saith VVhen a strong man armed keepeth his Pallace his goods are in peace Q.
