J. L. Hines vs Ben Bogard (Baptist)
September 5, 1929
Hodges, Alabama

(By Nello Rickard)

General church proposition. Bro. Hines gave an abundance of scripture from prophecy, and then gave scripture showing the fulfillment of that prophecy from which he proved the establishment of the church at Jerusalem; and Bogard admitted the church was established in Jerusalem and shook hands with bro. Hines on that.

Bro. Hines acted like a gentleman all through the debate. Bogard was very abusive. He called Hines a snake, a liar, a rascal, a brass monkey, and other very abusive terms. When he called bro. Hines a liar, he tried to prove it by one of his Baptist brethren, but the man was too honest and turned it on Bogard, and that came near ruining Bogard. Among other things, Bogard said: "Jesus was made the biggest sinner on earth." "I am safer than the angels of heaven; for they could and did sin and fall, but I cannot fall."

It was the best and most complete victory for the truth I have ever heard.
