ing and dying on the cross, or the error of Sabellius, that His suffering and dying was only an appearance, not a fact. They think that Christ must have been in the very nature of the case a different person, and they have founded their doctrine of salvation wholly upon the condition that Christ and the Father, although related as Father and Son, are unequivocally two different beings.
It may not be so difficult as they fancy to show that while Jesus is "King of kings and Lord of lords," thus the only God of heaven and earth, in whom all power in heaven and earth inheres because he is this only God, in whom "dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily," yet he was, after all, in his earth life, perfect man with a reasonable soul, and not distinct from the Father as from another person or identity.
Even they must realize the great confusion which exists in their thought concerning the person of Christ. They sing—
"All hail the power of Jesus' name;
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all."
