Gordon Clark: Unnamed Letter to the Editor 2 (The Southern Presbyterian Journal)

1951. Unnamed Letter to Editor. The Southern Presbyterian Journal Vol. X, No. 1. Nov. 28

Sir:

In the issue of Oct. 31, an open letter from an unnamed correspondent states, "You appear to think Christianity to consist in the acceptance as true of certain facts... Saving faith is not the acceptance of facts, historical or theological."

By an interesting coincidence I then turned to study the Sunday School lesson for Nov. IL In the Adult Uniform Lessons Dr. Holmes Ralston writes on p. 60, "When God gives the Ten Commandments to Israel, they are prefaced with the statement: I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. If you will take a concordance and follow this expression through the Bible, you will find that it occurs constantly as a revelation from God."

Thank God that he reveals himself, not only in words, but also in facts, redemptive facts. "What God does the unnamed correspondent worship, if not the God who foreordained and executed the facts of the Bible?
