One of the cleanest and most profitable religious discussions ever given by Baptist and church of Christ. D. N. Jackson is a very clever and scholarly debater. John W. Hedge representing the church of Christ, is a clean, logical contender for "the faith which was once delivered" unto the saints. The debate assumed the nature of an open, fair Bible study.
Despite the fact that Jackson writes the Sunday school literature for the Association Baptists and can boast of several academic degrees, his failure to sustain his positions was evident. His weakness was not due to the man, but his doctrine. Bro. Hedge is logical, refined, intellectual, modest; and the truth of God flowed through him in a forceful, clear manner. Both men are skilled debaters.
The first subject was on depravity. Jackson said that man was created in the intellectual, spiritual and moral image of God, and at the time of the tragic fall in Eden he lost that moral impress and has been by nature depraved ever since. Bro. Hedge asked Jackson to show how Christ get to "express image of the Father" (Heb.1:2), since he stood in line with Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, and born of a woman as David and the rest. Mr. Jackson said that God had prepared Christ a body (Heb. 10:5). Bro. Hedge showed that the context pointed out clearly that the "body" referred to the sacrificial offering of the body of Jesus upon the cross after the blood of bulls and goats was not longer esteemed by the Father, and the language had no reference to God's making Christ's body wholly impeccable. This seemed to baffle Mr. Jackson.
The last subject: that all saved people are members of the church - Jackson showed his defeat on this. Bro. Hedge said: "To be in Christ is to be in his body, the church; and since Jackson admits that no one is saved out of Christ, he (Jackson) concedes that none are saved out of the church of Christ. Mr. Jackson never noticed this argument.
