Christ and Necessary Consequence
I speak of necessary consequences. I have now explained the assertion, I will next prove it by these arguments. First, from the example of Christ and his Apostles, Christ proved against the Sadduces the Resurrection of the dead, from the Pentateuch, which was the only Scripture acknowledged by them, as many think, though some others hold there is no warrant for thinking so, Mat. 22 31, 3. Luke 20. 37, 38. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, for he is not a God of the dead but of the living: for all live unto him.
