Notes and Comments

The Eternal Sonship of Jesus Christ.—Some of our English readers have written us objecting to the statement in our review of J. C. Philpot’s “Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus,” that “Among the Strict Baptists those who deny the Eternal Sonship are represented by the ‘Earthen Vessel.'” We are assured by our correspondents that this is too sweeping a statement in regard to the denomination whose organ is the “Earthen Vessel,” and whose official designation is the Strict and Particular Baptist Denomination, as it is unfair to charge the whole denomination with this heresy. We accept these assurances, and we should be sorry to do injustice to those who hold this important and Scriptural doctrine in that denomination. At the same time, this heresy is so unscriptural and the expressions quoted by Mr Philpot from the “Earthen Vessel” so shocking that we feel that all who value Scriptural truth should give a very wide berth to any who hold it or are lukewarm about the Scriptural doctrine. All true Christians should be of one mind on this matter, and if others hold different views it should be made plain to them that this doctrine is too important in the estimation of God’s people to enter into the field of charitable consideration for the opinions of others.
