These lessons on Bible Doctrines are the result of sev­
eral years’, study and experience in the field and the class 
room, 
Since a number of teachers and students have asked for 
copies, it has been thought advisable to take off one hundred 
sets.
There are ninety-two lessons in all, many of which can 
easily be divided if the. teacher desires. Frequent review 
should be given.
The subjects are arranged somewhat after the order of 
their presentation in a series of Bible lectures. 
I would 
suggest that the practical subjects which are grouped at the 
last be interspersed among those of a more doctrinal nature.
Each student should be required to keep a note-book 
containing the answer to each question, and the thoughts 
gleaned from the class room. 
In addition to the regular 
reviews and period tests, it has been found profitable to 
haia each atu&ejit wnite A paper or give a ten minute talk 
on some topic already covered.
The underlined textss are to be memorized, and a stated 
number required as a part of each semester’s work.- Students 
should.be able to locate from memory chapters which deal with 
special topics; such as, Faith (Heb.- 11), Charity ( I Cor. 13) 
The Resurrection ( I Cor. 15), etc.

God. His sin consisted in transferring his affections from 
God to himself, so that he finally reached the conclusion 
that his judgment was superior to that of the Father. God 
knew the results of the steps he was taking and could have 
destroyed him at once, but other beings of the universe were

NOTE 1;
If the days of creation were long periods of time, the vegeta­
tion created on the third day would have died during the long per­
iod of darkness of the third day.

of years old before the close of the first Sabbath had those days 
been as long as now taught by science. The Scriptures say he lived 
930 years.
In the fourth commandment the word day, is used several times. 
It would not be according to the rules of grammar or good sense
to say that in one case is meant a day of twenty-four hours and
in another an indefinite period of time.

cates that the earth turned upon its axis as today.

Note 1: Infidel and heathen authors agree that man is in a fallen 
condition -that there is a better place beyond and that man should 
be better than he now is; but they hold out no hope of attaining 
that higher stage except by personal effort. That which they 
lack, the power to make us what we ought to be,- the Bible sup­
plies. 
The Bible not only gives a history of the past, but re­
veals the future. 
The moral standard set forth in the Word of 
God is much higher than that found in any other book.
Note 2: When God writes the biography of a man, it contains the 
good and the bad. Men often leave out the bad.

an effort has been made to change the day of worship from 
the seventh to the first day.

Lesson 16
The Scriptures teach that prior to the crucifixion more 
than one law was in existence. The law of ten commandments 
written on stone and handed to Moses on Sinai was and is the 
standard of life. That man might understand the sacredness of 
this law, and how to escape the penalty for breaking it, a system 
of sacrifices was instituted. 
The laws governing the offering 
of these sacrifices constitute what is known as the ceremonial 
law.
The laws governing Israel as a nation arc also found among 
the writings of Moses. 
The purpose Of this lesson is to show 
the character and duration of these laws.

THE TWO COVENANTS 
Lesson 18
It is contended by some that the law of ten commandments 
was the old covenant, and that it was abolished at the cross.
If so, there remains no standard of right since that time.

of Israel at Sinai. 
In this agreement they were to keep the 
commandments, and God was to make them a great nation.

9- 18,23; Eph. 2:1-3,11, 12.
2. Since all have sinned, what relation do they sustain to the 
law? I John 3:4; Rom. 3:19; Gal. 3:23.

to the law? Ps. 40:7,8; Isa. 42:17-21; John 15:10; Matt. 5: 
17-19.
8. Rather than abolish the broken law, what did the Father do? 
John 3:16; Rom. 8:3,4.
9. What relation does faith bear to the law? Rom, 5:51.
Note 1: 
All have sinned and are under the curse of the low 
which is death. 
All arc condemned to die.
Note 2: 
Christ died in man’s stead, and thus removed the 
curse or penalty of the law, setting him free from condemna­
tion, but not free to violate its precepts.
Note 3: 
The transgressor behind the bars, working out his 
penalty under condemnation of the law, is at the time under 
obligation to keep the law of the state.. If by chance he 
should be pardoned and get out,under grace he is still 
bound by the law of the state. So it is with one who has 
been pardoned and under grace. He is still under obligation 
to obey the law.

Note 1: 
In lesson two we learned that Satan lost, as a re­
sult of his selfish desire, his position next to Christ, but 
when Jesus died on the cross, He was forever shut out of 
Heaven and his work continued to this earth. During the thou­
sand years, he is bound in darkness and then destroyed after 
admitting that he has been wrong.
Christ, who was at the right hand of God, and the up­
holder of all things thought it not a thing to be grasped 
after, to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, 
ana took upon him the form pf a servant, and was made in the 
likeness of men; and being formed in fashion as a man, he 
humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death 
of the cross. 
"Wherefore God hath highly exhalted him, and 
given him a name which is above every name; that at the name 
of Jesus, every knee shall bow." He will be King of Kings and 
Lord of Lords through all eternity.
