To the Editor of the NorTH-CHixa Dairy News."
Si—It has been said that the Bible is "an old fiddle upon which any tune may be played." To a certain extent this appears to be! true, but most, if not nearly all, of the divergencies of views regarding Scripture teaching arise from the habit of saying what "I think" a certain passage means, instead of asking "myself" what did those to whom it was written or spoken think it meant. The judgment of what they thought a certain text or passage meant must always be formed from their recorded reaction to the saying or the writing, either in conformity with it, or in opposition to it.
Now, to return to the question of the Primacy of the Apostle Peter, there any record in the Scriptures that subsequent to the famous, saying of Jesus about the "keys" the Apostle Peter claimed for himself, Jor his contempories claimed for. him, or gave to him, the supremacy others now claim for him? The answer is no, emphatically no, So that is that. would like to say to the writer of the letter in your issue of the 12th instant that he is wrong. The words in Scripture, "Kingdom of God," may mean God's rule in hearts of men, but the words.
kingdom of Heaven" do not. In Scripture, the words "Kingdom Heaven" refer to the kingdom over the nations of the earth to be set up (future) by Jesus, the Chri the Son of Man. The fact that "Kingdom of God" and the kingdom of Heaven" are co-relative has led to the assumption in many minds that the terms are synonymous, but it is not so.
