“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;
and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing
under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it
hath been already of old time, which was before us."
The new truths ministers and writers
are coming up with are, in reality, no more than unsubstantiated, unchallenged
statements. These pseudo-philosophers,
who camp on Mars Hill, "spend their
time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing." But
Paul's testimony was that he said no other things than those truths of old
spoken by the prophets.
Something may sound profound, but is
it of the prophets? It may appear learned, but is it of the Law? It may be a
new thought, but is it New Testament? Paul was not against dressing old truths
in new clothes, but there was no attire in his wardrobe to clothe what some
call "new truths."
If it's new, it's not true; and if
it's true, it's not new.
(H.A.
Ironside)
