THE WORD OF GOD:

but Lazarus evil Now he is comforted,
and thou art tormented" (by the worm of
remorse and neverforgetting memory.
How the lost in Hades would love to forget
but they cannot for it is written:
"SON, REMEMBER.
On earth Lazarus wanted one cyuNpb of
bread; in Hades the rich man wanted one
drop of 70atey. He denied Lazarus the
crumb of bread; in Hades he failed to get
the drop of water. Yet the rich man was
not lost because of his treatment of beg
gars, but because of his treatment of
moses AND THE PROPHETS
THE WORD OF GOD.
"Son, remember" that death is not AN
INHALATION; that it does not end ALL
AS you fall in death you will rise in the
resurrection. Then you will begin Just as,
and where, you left off at death. And you
will be yourself = not something or some
body else.
If lost if ''rich man you will, at
THE GREAT WHITE THRONE
JUDGMENT, be asked two things:
what think We of Christ? Whose Son
is He?" (Matthew 22:42) and "Why did
you treat Moses and the prophets (the
word of Cod as you did when on the
earth? ?"
Matthe70 1923 Jesus positively de-
clares that the soul (spirit) lives on after
the body is dead:
Fear not them who kill the body, BUT
ARE NOT ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL
SO death does not always mean cessation
of being = nonexistence
If death aI7oays means extinction of be-
u1g, 7ohat became of Jesus the Christ at
His DEATH?
Here is your cold, steel-edged logic of
Russellism: He zgas extinct, ceased to
be-; annihdlated Therefore,
RUSSELLISM TEACHES THE AN
INHALATION OF OUR LORD JESUS
THE CHRIST.
1t is impossible for his defenders to escape
this conclusion. THUS they are taken in
the net which they have wickedly spread.
Russellism teaches the same relative 10
all believers. They will not admit it, but
it is true, nevertheless
Volume 3, Pages 234, 235: ''The first
apostles and all other dead Christians were
raised spirit-beings in 1873, and all who
have died since that date were also raised
spirit-beings."
According to their teaching, Pastor
RUSSELL himself is now spirit-being with
out body, it having been left behind to
be dissolved into gases. They further teach
that all members of the Bride of Christ
will be raised spirit-beings, without bodies
Now,
THE BIBLE ALPHABETICALLY SAYS
that every believers body will be raised, as
was his Lords,- changed, and made like
unto His body of Philippians 3 20,
21
ROMANS Sill - He Who raised up Christ
from the dead shall also quicken (make alvey
your MORTAL BODIES by His Spirit Who
dwelleth in you.
ROMANS 1923 We groan within our
selves, waiting for the adoption, namely, the
redemption of our body
There is a great prophetic passage in
Isaiah 26:10 Take this corrected transla-
ton:
Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies, shall
they arise?
I CORINTHIANS 15:s5,44- But some will
say, How are the dead christians = all the
persons Paul is writing to and about in this
great chapter) raised up? and with what
(kind of a. body do they come?
The body buried (sown) was a natural,
fleshly, 'blood-and-bone body. It = the
same body will be raised a spiritual,
bloodless body.
The natural body is first, and, being
planted there comes out of it, or from it,
by the Mighty Spirit of God dwelling in
us Christians, a spiritual, incorruptible, i'm
mortal body.
Russellsm says it is a spirit-being as
Stunning any body and fashion of clothes it
wishes after the resurrection.
The question, If death always means ex-
tinction of being, would not the supposed
bringing back of those gone on before be
new creation instead of resurrection?
is clearly answered by Russell himself in
these few words: "These spirit beings are
created over again..
Certainly! How else could they ever
return if they experienced cessation of be-
ing = were annihi1ated at death?
Then, the Christ this side the Cross is
not He Who lived before and was crucihed
thereon for that One experienced cessation
of being, 7Vas annihilated
Truly Russellism is huge delusion; and
how people can hug it to their hearts can
not understand It is Anti-C Christ, Anti
atonement, Amti-reSsurrectiom,A mti-christi-
onity, .4mti-church Of Christ, Anti-trinity,
| Anti-HoIy Spirit, Anti-e5eyythimg that God
) really teaches Yet multiplied thousands
are accepting it. People take to it, and to
NANNY Eddy's" system, like feas to
dog.
