Denying the son of God.
Billy Sunday has joined other evdn=eI-
lists and preachers in the slandcr0us mis-
statement that Pastor Russell denies that
Jesus is the Son Of God BY sUch false
statements. said the Pastor. they seek TO
prejudice people against my Bible ex-
positions Yet how foolish il is for them
to make such deliberate misstdtements
for eventually their falsehOOds will be
found out, People who learn Of their
gross Misrepresentation realize that only
desperation. attempting to support a
weak cause. could lead men processing
TO be ministers of the Truth to thus do
it violence.
Really. it is 7 who believe that Jesus
is the Son Of God. while the great ma
jOrity of preachers and cvangelists IL"
not clearly so teach. They confuse their
argument and bewIIdcr their hearers by
telling in one breath that Jesus i Je-
hOvah God. who sent His Son into the
world to die. and in tho next breath that
He is the Son who sent Himself as God.
According to them. when Jesus prayed
to the Father il was Il mOckery: for He
was the Father-'Oue in person" When
He said. Tine Father is greater than L.
He misreprescnted the facts, according
to these preachers. evaugelists and creed
makers. He spoke of the Cup which IN"
Father had poured for Him: He said that
lie could do nothing of Himself. He
prayed. My God. Ny God Why hast
Thou forsaken Me-" and said To Mary.

Scriptural testimony. Our misleading
came during tine twelve centuries when
the Bible was ignored, because it WIS be

The Bible tells of Jesus present Glori-
rus station. ''partaker of the Divine ma
ure.'' But many ignore this, and claim
hat Jesus is man in Heaven. complete

The Bible explains how Jesus could be

ellis us plainly that Jesus had a human
mother. but that His life came not from
