The trend of all scholars within the
past forty years In particular has
been away from the Bible. Even
those few who still contend for the
Bible concede much to the Higher
Critics and merely strive to retain
hold upon certain shreds of truth.
The Bible is suffering at the hands of
Christendom. Or perhaps we would
better say. Christendom Is suffering
from letting loose its hold upon the
Bible. The Bible theory, that all the
sin and death manifest in the world
resulted from Adams disobedience, is
now generally denied Consequently
those who still preach forgiveness
Of sins and an escape from the penal
ty of sin are In the minority. And
those who admit that the death of
Jesus was necessary as sin-offering.
the Just for the unjust. are extremely
few.
Darwin's Evolution theory. that
man sprang from monkey parentage
and has been evoluting higher and
higher for thousands of years, finds
apparent support in the rapid growth
OF intelligence during the past fifty
years. But those who heed the Bible
find more satisfactory explanation
In Its teaching. that we are In the
dawning OF New Dispensation-the
God as the time in which all the fam
lilies OF the earth will be blessed.
The Blood of Atonement
The Bible theory of mans sin and
condemnation to death and Of re-
demption of Adams race from the
power of death by the blood Of Jesus
is one consistent narrative. Because
one man alone was the original sinner
and the sentence came by one. there
fore 1t was possible for Divine mercy
to arrange that by the sacrifice of the
Righteous One the Just for the unjust.

judicially freed from the death sen
