Dr. A. Paul Bagby preached on
"The Closed Gate of Eden" at the
eleven o'clock worship service.
The Bible is not to fulfill a
scientific or historical purpose.
The purpose of the Book is to
?how the human race its condi-:
tion and relationship with the
divine. Not bow we happen to be'
buti how we stand in God's eyes.
The Bible was written not to.
satisfy the mental appetites of
man but to satisfy soul desires.;
The literalist would make God
mind ratbet than Spirit', informer1
rather than Savior.
Eden is not a locality but a
condition with sin as the boun
dary. Earth had no hurt. There i
was perfect harmony. There in
the garden was the tree of Know
ledge of good and evil. Life was
(tinless. Sin was entered into by
Adam and Eve, sin's boundary
crossed and Eden's gate closed.
Four things summarize the
condition of man since the clos
ing of Eden's gate: (1) Man must
?tay in a place of toil (2) a place
of sorrow (3) a place where sin
is raging (4) a place of death.
At the evening worship hour
Dr. Bagby preached on "The
Open Gate of Heaven."
Morning worship at eleven
o'clock with thte pastor preaching
on "Secret and Presumptuous
Sin?." Evening ^vprshipj at seven
