coming in visible glory so that they may stand face to face with Him
and get the very touch of His hands upon them in the vital
benediction for which they are longing.

These advanced teachers repudiate the Bible as the inspired,
infallible, inerrant Word of God,

The Pentateuch, the writings of Moses, is a bundle of folk lore,
Moses himself a fiction no more substantial than Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. The historic books of the Old Testament are unreliable and
therefore not history at all. The book of the prophet Isaiah instead
of one author has many, each in turn contradicting the other. The
book of Ezekiel from its incomprehensible wheels as they flash by
the banks of the river Chebar to the impossible temple and its
animal offerings with the ever-deepening river flowing out of it, is
as mystic as the amazing cherubim which the prophet seeks, but
apparently fails, to describe. The prophecies of Daniel were written
long after the events they pretend to foretell. From Genesis to
Malachi the Old Testament is in reality the mixed history of a
tribal people with a national god whose attributes and demands are
no more authentic and authoritative than those of the gods of Greece
and Rome.

The New Testament while a degree of advance on the Old by reason of
the progress of the times and the more cultivated environment of its
origin is not a whit more divinely inspired. The three Synoptic
Gospels are witnesses summoned to court where their success is the
contradiction and confusion of the story they attempt to tell. The
book of Acts is a combination pamphlet put together by the followers
of Peter and Paul as an attempt to compromise between the one who
was the Apostle to the Circumcision and the other who was the
Apostle to the Gentiles.

The epistles of Paul are filled with the pernicious influence of
apocalyptic, Jewish fictions and the crass concept the Apostle had
of the kingdom of Christ. Page after page is filled with proof that
he expected the Lord to come in his day and was sorely mistaken,
making that confession at the close of his writings and turning his
attention to death and the grave, no longer having expectation of
the Coming of the Lord as the daily hope of the Church.

It is these palpable errors of Paul, his honest, but undoubted
mistakes that are wholly responsible for that strange thing (so the
Post-millennialists think it) known as Pre-millennialism, a
