Playing With the

Two-edged Sword

The only book in the Library of Congress that is so written that what the reader gets out of it is dependent upon his SPIRITUAL condition when he picks it up is the Holy Scriptures. Not one copy of any other “sacred scriptures” (see p. 13) exhibits that phenomenon. Mankind’s reaction to the Holy Bible is described in Jeremiah 38:1–6; Proverbs 13:13; John 8:40–48; and Acts 5:40 as hatred, resentment, and rejection. An exceptional reaction to the same Book is found to be exactly the opposite in 2 Kings 22:10–20; Isaiah 66:2; Acts 17:10–12, 34; and 1 Thessalonians 2:13.

Both reactions were predetermined by the condition of the listener or reader; they were not determined by the condition of the wording in the texts. This is easily proved by the fact that all cults and all heresies and all false teachings are “supported” by Scripture. Karl Marx bet his soul on Acts 2:44 and Acts 4:35. Seventh-day Adventists bet their souls on Matthew 5:19 and 1 John 2:3–4. Calvinists bet their souls on Romans 9:16 and Ephesians 1:4. Roman Catholics bet their souls on Matthew 16:18 and John 20:23. Jehovah’s Witnesses bet their souls on John 14:28 and Revelation 7:4–8.

The Book is not only a “life giver” (see John 6:63; 1 Pet. 1:24–25; Heb. 4:12–13) but a “death dealer” (Heb. 4:12; Hosea 6:5).

Anyone can USE it to prove anything. I have heard Jesuit priests cite Acts 12:17 to prove Peter was in Rome. I have heard Campbellites quote Mark 16:16 to prove you would go to Hell if a Campbellite minister didn’t baptize you. I have heard Moslems quoting John 16:13 and 14:26 to prove that a lying, epileptic, fornicating scumbucket was the Holy Ghost. I have watched Clinton put his hand on Galatians 3:28, at his inauguration, to prove uni-sex and equality of sexes. I have seen the Popes use Luke 2:14 (after altering the text) to prove that Christ gave up His millennial kingdom back in A.D. 33 and gave it to a bachelor priesthood of Gentiles, instead of the Son of David (Luke 1:31–33).

You can “prove” there is no eternal death; you can “prove” baptismal regeneration; you can “prove” universal salvation of the Devil and all the lost in eternity (Bullinger). I can “prove” it is “legit” to rob banks (Job 12:6), have a sex orgy in a church building (Amos 4:4), kill anyone you don’t like (Eccl. 3:3), hold dances (Eccl. 3:4), and tempt God (Mal. 3:14).

I could quote you verses to “prove” that God is all through with Israel forever, that neither Heaven nor Hell are literal, and that the “new birth” is nothing but a “new insight,” a “reformation,” “rethinking” something, or “seeing something in a different light.” Along with this I could quote you 100 verses in the New Testament that “prove” a Christian can become “unborn again” and lose his soul.

Now here is what YOU are supposed to believe and not supposed to believe, according to the Author of the Holy Bible.
