This debate at Sardis, Tennessee, November 25-28.
Debated general church proposition. The discussion was well attended throughout, and the people listed with rapt attention to both speakers. Nothing unkind was said by either speaker. The moderator only kept time.
One note of interest was Lowery's introduction on II Samuel 7:12-13 as the time when the kingdom was set up. In substance it was this: (1) Christ, David's seed, would build a house. (2) He would build while David was asleep in the grave. (3) In Matthew 27:52 David was raised from the dead. (4) This was before Pentecost. (5) Therefore, the church was established before Pentecost. In reply, Bro. Douthitt introduced Acts 2:29-34, "For David ascended not into the heavens." But in spite of the apostles declaration, Lowery contended to the contrary,, which only demonstrates how far some men will go to sustain a false theory.
A number of other things were introduced that were just as astounding to Bible readers as the above; however, they were handled aright and mightily refuted. The church was highly pleased with the work done by Bro. Douthitt. Coleman Overby kept time.
