After Mr. Canright as a Baptist began to wage relentless warfare against the moral law of God, he resorted to the very arguments against it which he had so completely demolished in his former publications. Let us note a few of them:
14528 In Defense of the Faith, p. 47.3 (William Henry Branson)
… his argument would lead to just this conclusion; for, says Paul, “where no law is, there is no transgression.” Romans 4:15. And again, “Sin is not imputed where there …

Farther on in this same work Mr. Canright pointed out the utter fallacy of his later argument that nine of the commandments which had been abolished were restored in the New Testament. On this point, speaking still as an Adventist, he said:
14531 In Defense of the Faith, p. 52.4 (William Henry Branson)
… every argument framed against the Sabbath comes with equal force against the other commandments.
14532 In Defense of the Faith, p. 55.1 (William Henry Branson)
How utterly astonishing it is to find this same man only a few years later setting forth the very arguments which he himself had so completely overthrown.
14533 In Defense of the Faith, p. 56.3 (William Henry Branson)
Surely this is a strange argument! Think of it! The only thing that deterred God from writing all the ceremonies, rites, ordinances, etc., pertaining to the sacrificial service, was the size of the load it would have made to carry!

In a further effort to establish his no-law doctrine Mr. Canright the Baptist tries to find an argument for his theory in Paul’s statement, “You are not under the law, but under grace.” Romans 6:14. On this he says:
14535 In Defense of the Faith, p. 58.4 (William Henry Branson)

When Mr. Canright renounced Adventism he boldly declared that the law of God was dead. His argument for this is based on the following statement by the apostle Paul:
14539 In Defense of the Faith, p. 64.6 (William Henry Branson)
… this argument that the law is dead, is evidenced by a former extended statement published by him concerning the true meaning of this text. Let us note how, in …

Now we will again permit Mr. Canright to reply to his own arguments. While he was still an advocate of the binding claims of the Ten Commandments, he wrote an excellent treatise on this subject, from which we take the following paragraphs:
