MEDITATE ON THESE PRECIOUS PASSAGES:

Undermining the Faith

When Satan has undermined faith in The Bible*,

he directs men to other sources

for light and power.

Thus he insinuates himself.

Those who turn from the plain teaching of Scripture*

and the convicting power of God's Holy Spirit,

are inviting the control of demons.

Criticism and speculation concerning the Scriptures*

have opened the way for Spiritualism and Theosophy

--those modernized forms of ancient heathenism-

-to gain a foothold

even in the professed churches of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[A hard question----------Does this statement include Adventism?]

*The King James Version

Does that make you a little nervous or upset

when someone says

"King James Version"?

There are many beliefs

that the mind has no right to entertain.

In the days of Christ the rabbis put a forced, mystical construction upon many portions of Scripture. Because the plain teaching of God's Word condemned their practices, they tried to destroy its force.

The same thing is done today.

The Word of God* is made to appear mysterious and obscure in order to excuse transgression of His law.

Christ rebuked these practices in His day. He taught that the Word of God* was to be understood by all.

He pointed to the Scriptures as of unquestionable authority, and we should do the same. The Bible* is to be presented as the word of the infinite God, as the end of all controversy and the foundation of all faith.
