WARNS PEOPLE AGAINST
ALLEGED FALSE TEACHERS

Editor Pensacola Journal:
I know but very little about Pas
tor Russell, and his followers. think
they cali themselves .Millenial dawn
lists" The "Millenial Dawn part
is all right. That is, there will be
a Millenial Dawn of a thousand years
after the great tribulation has pass
ed, in which Christ will reign over
the Jews a thousand years, but when
people plainly dispute the word of God
by saying there is no Eternal He'll,
am reminded of the words Of Christ
himself, in Mark 1922, where He says
that false Christ and false prophets
shall arise and seduce, If it were pos
sible, even the elect.
It's strange that the Christians Of
Pensacola will lie still, and let the
devil run roughsfnod over them with
such pernicious doctrines as these. II
seems they would rise up and defend
the truth for their children's sake, II
nothing else.
People who know anything about
the Bible at all, knows that 1t teaches
that there is an eternal hell. If there
isn't then, it must have been an over
sight in the Creator. for there ought
to be an eternal separation between
the righteous and the wicked.
Jesus says In Matthew 25:46, "And
these shall go away into everlasting
punishment: but the righteous in TO
life eternal" We see here that the
punishment is everlasting. and the life
is eternal. putting both without end.
And again Jesus says in Mark 9:4S.
'And If thy hand offend thee. cut IL
off; ii is better for thee to enter into
life. manned, than having two hands
to go into hell. in the nre that never
n
dieth not and the fire is not quenched.'
this chapter Notice: "The fire that
never shall be quenched."
Now these are plain words, and II
Jesus didn't mean what He said here.
then He didn't mean anything He said
anywhere. And whenever you find q
religious teacher that will set these
and other Scriptures on eternal pun
ishment aside; all you have to do is
to raise the sheep skin, and you win
certainly find the wolf crouched be-
meath.
The devil has his preachers out. and
they are very busy in these last days;
and he wouldn't have any better doc
trine preached than mo Hellisrn." And
warn the people against 1t.
OF course, they have so much truth
mixed in with their doctrine, that it's
hard for a person who knows not the
Bible to detect the false. And then 1t
just suits some people who don't in
tend to live for the One who made
them, to believe that doctrine.
Jesus came from heaven to earth to
save people. To save them from what?
Sin and hell. And He only proposes to
save through the bitter throes of re-
pentance. and turning away from all
known sin. And when the DEVILS hu-
man followers fail to do this. they will
go to the same hell that God prepared
for the devil and his angels.
The rich mans despair was so great
that he didn't ask for deliverance from
hell. but only asked for a drop OF
water.
Abraham told him there was no way
OF passing between hell and heaven,
by which 1t might be granted: and that
he had his good things in this life.
Jesus has prepared a way from earth
to heaven. and it is so plain that a
'swayfaring man, tho a fool need not
err therein" But I have never found
any but false teachers, and thieves
and robbers" trying to find a way from
hell to heaven.
