Deaix Fi;ikm, Thy acceptable letterof the 1st month last, came duly to hand, but my religious engagements, and other necessary concerns have prevented my giving it that attention that its contents seem to demand. Thou
queries alter my views of the fufit ring of
Jcu- ('bust, the Son ol God, and what was the oljoct of the fdiodding of his blood oa the rros- and what benefits resulted to mankind by the shedding of this blood, &c. I shall answer in a very simple way, as I consider the whole subiect to he a very simple one, as all truth is pimple when we free ourselves from the improper bias of tradition and education, which rests as a burthensome stone on f lie mind i of most ol
the children of men, and which very much ' -x-h lean t
mars the unity and harmony oi society. 1st. I by what means did Jesus suffer." The answ er is plain, by the hands of wicked nun, and because his works were righteousand thcirswere wicked. Query. Did God send him into the world purposely to suffer death by the hands of wicked men? Fv no means; but to live a rightecus and godly hfe, (which was the design ami end
that, like as Ghri-t was r.ii--.' i up from the
dead (outwardly.) by the gl ny ol llu hither, even so we,"1 having bv the spiritual baptism witnessed a death of sin, shall know a being raised up spn itua'.Iy and walk in new ness of life . Fut the primitive Christian church having soon after the apostles1 days, turned away fro in their true and only sufficient guide, the spirit of truth, that Jesus commanded his disciples to w ait for, and not attempt to do any thing until they had received it, but assured them that when they had received it, it would be a complete
and putlieient rule, nilhout the a.tuition of
any vtner tht:, as it would lead them and
guide them in all truth. And to its suffi
ciency, John, the belovec apostle, bore this noble and exalted testimony, in full accordance with his Divine Master, in this em
phatic language to Ins fellow believers:
c. have an unction iro:n the Holy One, and need not that anv mini teach ou, but as this same anointing tein helh von, which is truth, e.r.d is no lio.': Fat the hi licver.-i, by too much looking to their e ld traditions, soon lost sight d or neglected fully to attend, ns they ought t have done, to their inwatd guide, turned their attention outwaul to the !t!!rr, who li c'...",.

condemned to eternal punishment for one mis-step of our first parents; for they appear to have been guilty of but one failure, and that it appears they made satisfaction for at the time, of their first arraignment by their benevolent creator, manifesting sorrow and repentance: which seems to be fairly implied by the sequel of the interview between them ; for it is said he clothed them with coats of skin, to hide
their nakedness, which is an emblem of du
rable clothing, and as their iiakedr.ess sjas not an outward one, but a nakedness of sjul.
not being able to conceal their sin from the
All-penetrating Eye of Divine Justice, so when he had brought them, through con
viction, to see their error and to repent of
it, he was reconciled to them, and clothed
them again w ith his Holy Spirit.
And inasmuch as those idle promulgators
of original sin, believe they were made
sinners without their consent or knowledge, which according to the nature and reason of things, every rational mind must see is impossible ; so likewise they are idle and ignorant enough to believe they are made righteous without their consent or knowledge, by the righteousness of one who lived in the earth near two thousand years before they had an existence, and this by the cruel hands of wicked men slaying an innocent and righteous one; and these are bold and daring enough to lay this cruel and unhclv act in the charge of Divine Ju-tice, as having purposely ordained it to be so: But what an outrage it is against every righteous law of God and man, as the Scriptures abundantly testify. See Exodus, c. 23, v. 7. -Keep thee far from a false matter, and the innocent and righteous slay thou not, for I will not justi
fy the wicked. Deuteronomy c. 2. v.
5. Cursed be be that takcth rev. aid to
slay an innocent person11 and much might
ie produced to show the wickedness and ibsurdity of the doctrine, that would ac
cuse the perfectly just, allwise, and merciful Jehovah, of so barbarous and crue l an
act, as that of slaying bis innocent and
tighteuus son, to atone for the sins and ini
quities of the ungodly.
Surely, is it possible, that any rational
beinc that has any right sense of justice
or metcv, that would he willing to acre' t

he not lather go loi wain and other hiruselt wholly up to sufTei all the penalties due to his crimes, rather than the innocent should suffer? Nav was he so hardy as to ac knowledge a w illingness to be saved thro such a medium, would it not prove that he. stood in direct opposition to every principle of justice and honesty, of mercy and love, and shew himself to be a poor selfish creature, and unworthy of notice!!! Having given thee a sketch of my views on the subject of thy Queries, how far thou may consider them correct. I must leav e to thy judgment and consideration; and may now recommend thee to shake off all traditional views that thou hast imbibed from external evidences, ant! turn thy mind to the light within, as thy only true teach
