Does the Bible Teach a Second
Chance?"
The Bible is the only study we can
look to for all such questinos, and if we
will only read and study more as the
the days 60 by ourselves instead of look
ing to human theories and prejudlces,
which'nearlY all churches holds against
each other, we will not be condemning
and judging that which God forblds.
"As ye::.judge so shall We be judged"
Condemn not for so shall We be con-
demned." He that judgest doest the
the same things" Let US be wise and
read.
AS for. the second chance. we. from
Adam, have never had our first chance.
Adam was son of God, created by Him,
placed in the garden of Eden, then a
perfect earth, but by SHINING he fell
and that grand dominion was taken
from him. so he by the sweat of his
brow.had to earn his bread. The earth
brought forth it's briers, thorns, ETC.,
which was curse to man leading him
far..from God, bring him down to Hell,
which is the grave. Read Acts 1852,
Eccl. 9:5-10. We today, from Adam,
have. inherited these sins-they are born
in US. Nothing SHAT is born in the
flesh is clean" We die today by that
first Adam of SHINING" Not death
torment or death to He'll fire, nor death
to Heaven, but a punishment for sin
ming, we simply fall asleep, which the
Scripture plainly teaches. In Adam
we allsdie. In Christ we all shall be
made alive every man in his own order:
| Cor. 15:22-23. But the second Adam,
Jesus Christ, gave himself a ransom,
a price, for all to be testified in due
time" liTim. 2:5-6. So he says MAR
vel not at this for the hour is coming in
which all that are in their graves shall
hear His voice and shall come forth, the
good unto the resurrection of everlast-
ing life, the wicked unto the resurrec-
ton of damnation." John 5:28-29.
"Milennial Dawn Books" will de-
ceive no one if you will read them and
your Bible by them, for they are built
up stone by stone from the Bible We
are being deceived by our old modes Of
religion which the Apostle Paul tells us
about, I'm the last days perilous times
shall come, men shall become lovers of
themselves, boosters, proud, highmind-
ed, lovers of pleasure more than of
God. How true this is today.
Paul also says, Preach the word; re-
prove, rebuke, for the time will come
when they will not endure sound doc
trine, they shall then turn their ears
away from the truth and shall return
unto fable" Read 2 Tim and 4. The
'Millenial Dawn Books" teach as not
that we will be raised up as Adam was
before he fell bat simply says, ''if a
tree falls to the north or south, there it
shall be, " so if we fall a drunkard, thief,
g robber, so shall we be when we are
resurrected. The prophet Daniel says
many shall awake to shame and ever
lasting contempt. So the best we live
this life today the better off Wen be in
that Day. The more we learn of Gods
word and heed to it, just that far we
will be advanced IN the coming World
where in righteous shall dwell for ever
and ever. In that day which is the
Judgment, a thousand years as day,
the dead in.Christ shall rise first" also
I'VE that are in Christ which are yet
alive at His coming shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air." l Thess.
Abb, land they shall live and reign
with Christ a thousand years, these
righteous people called saints shall Judge
the world. " "Do We not know the
saints;shalljudge the world" Cor. 6:2.
This little flock is the kingdom, Luke
1872, $40, (which is to the Lambs
wife or his body which is composed of
many members. In Rev. Z, John saw
this flock of la, 900; also a great null
titude which no man could number of all
nations, tongues and people standing
before the throne, and the Lamb, clothed
in white robes. This class came out of
great tribulation washed themselves in
the blood of the Lamb. These two
classes being spirits it that day are to
