This tore him up inside day and night. John was attempting to live for Christ in a perfect way. He even phoned up a police officer and told him he had lied about what he had told that officer about an accident he had been involved in, to make restitution for past sins. The officer just said, that was in the past and over. Just don't lie again. From the very first moment that John started attending the United church of Canada again, he began to become fearful of his personal salvation. John recalls that he felt completely condemned by God for compromising what he really believed, just to make his earthly father happy. He felt like he had denied Christ.

They contained copies of and quotations from many Old Testament books. When they were discovered about 50 years ago, Bible students were anxious to see if the text of Isaiah, for example, had changed in 2000 years.
