The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1919-06-07
RUSSELL'S WORDS !:

Volume 5, Pages 346, 347) John rs,
1920. All that are in the graves shall hear
the voice Of the Son Of God calling them
to awake and come to full knozvledge of
God, and to full opportunity Of everlast-
ing Me). (Italics mine.)
The death-sleep is so absolutely period
will have no knowledge of the lapse of
time. "Sleep'' is only an accommodated
term; for really the dead are dead, utterly
destroyed. 50 Gods wisdom preserves their
identity, and has decreed through Christ
their awakening, their reorganization
(Italics mine)
This will indeed be their recreation (Ital-
les RusselFs)-a still greater manifestation
of Divine power than was their original
creation. 1t will be the recreation of fifty
billions instead of two persons. 1t will be
the reproduction of infinite varieties instead
of one. Only our God possesses such wis
dom and power; he is both able and willing
to perform it. Gtalics mine.)
Volume 5, Page 34o) Acts 2:31, 81.
Observe that the Apostle is not pressing his
argument as respecting the resurrection of
the body (of the Lord Jesus), but as re-
spects his resurrection of being, soul -
that his soul was not left in hades, sheol
Had Paul the popular theory of our day
respecting resurrection - ESPECIAL
NOTE: Thus the ignoramus Russell said
Paul spoke Acts 2:31, 32), the resurrec-
ton Of the same body would be calamity.
The Apostle taught the resurrection of the
soul, the sentient being = the recreation of
he bo1n, h1,t Il ,oJ of
the body
(Volume 5, Page 362) The Scriptures
prove the following facts:
The soul, being, of Our Lord went into
oblivion Ceased to exist)-to Sheol - at
death;
He was dead - utterly dead parts of
three days;
He arose, was brought out of oblivion,
to the Divine nature on the third day.
Thus our Lords being, or soul, zvas NOM
existent during the period of death. (Italics
mine.)
ESPECIAL NOTE: THUS RUS
SELLISM ANNIHILATES THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST, GODS SON. Oh, that
every reader of this could see how he taketh
a7vay my Lord! Yet millions swallow his
udl1HldDie, ul1Sllldl, llCl1lSll lcdCIlHlS tlltlS
joining him in "DENYING THE LORD
WHO BOUGHT THEM.")
Volume 5, Page 376)
LUKE 1928 In hell (hades, oblivion)
he lifted up his eyes, being in torments.
This is a parable The rich man who
went into oblivion and was tortured is the
Jewish nation. Israel has certainly gone
into oblivion among the nations
Volume 5, Page 37o) All who go into
hades, oblivion, shall also come forth from
Inconsistencies, from death, and be given
a chance for everlasting life.
Volume 5, Page $500 The dying con-
dition Of those now called the living, and
the oblivious, unconscious condition Of the
fully dead
Volume 5, Page 52o) Death is a period
of absolute mconsciouNeSs = more than
that, it is period of absolute non-eristence
(Italics mine
Volume 5, Page 347) The dead are
dead - utterly DESTROYED (Italics mine.)
Volume s, Page 711) In resurrection,
the wicked are raised up (recreated), but
not to judgment for past sins - to another
trial for everlasting life (Italics mine.)
Volume 6, Page 1907 Our Lord Jesus
changed his nature (that of the Archan-
gel MichaeD and became man, taking our
nature; he was begotten as a me7V creature
at the time of his baptism when thirty years
of age, and when he had sacrificed himself
as man he changed his nature again -
to the divine nature becoming the Son Of
God in his resurrection.
It was this ne7v creature, the Son Of God,
that was resurrected on the third day and
received body, as it pleased his Father.
So the Church is to be similarly raised tip
to the divine nature in the resurrection =
they having part in the first resurrection,
his resurrection.
ESPECIAL NOTE: SO the Jesus who
died is not the Jesus who rose. The proof
is certain: c. T. RUSSELL HAS ami
HILATED OUR ONE AND ONLY
LORD JESUS CHRIST. He who preach
eth ANOTHER JESUS is accursed. Gala
tians 1 :6-9)
Volume /, Page 14o)
All mankind must be delivered from
DEATH else the ransom does not avail for
all.
Volume 5, Page 443) The penalty for
sin was death, the cessation of BENG, going
into NON existence = and when that was
accomplished, the penalty was met The
crucifixion and the pierced side were for
other considerations.
ESPECIAL NOTE: Russell has said
that the crucifxion and pierced side were
not necessary! Had He died by any other
method, atonement would have been made
just the sameD
Volume 5, Page 400 That it was the
death of the man Christ Jesus that secured
