to speak to, and instruct our
MINOS?
What does STUDY mean? Do we
"STUDY" with our MINOS--or our
hearts? We find this INSTRUCTION
and TEACHING: "STUDY lO shew
thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth" ( 11 Timothy 2:15).
That is a COMMAND! One can
STUDY, and
rightly
divide the
Word of God
only with
his
MINO!
God teaches- yes, COMMANDS!
- that the Scriptures are to be
STUDIED-with the MINO. Üther–
wise, how could we know God's
WILL for us? So we find
this
com–
mand: "Wherefore be ye not
unwise, but UNDERSTANDING what
the will of the Lord is" (Ephesians
5: 17).
What a tragedy that so much of
this worJd is DECEIVED.
MILLIONS have been deceived
intó a FALSE "salvation," inoculated
with the spiritual poison that "sal–
vation" and the "Gospel" are con–
cerned only with a sanctimonious
mental anesthetic, shutting up the
MINO to God's real TRUTH, accept–
ing the counterfeit of a sentimental
"feeling" of piety.
And other MILLIONS have been
conversely deceived into supposing
that this ethereal, impractical, irra–
tional superstition of these profess–
ing but deceived "Christians" con–
stitutes the teaching of the Bible.
So
these
millions, in vanity wanting
to be considered rational, and edu–
cated-regarding themselves as
thinkers-throw
away the Bible
without so much as an examination
of its contents.
BOTH these "pious" sentimental–
ists and these "intellectuals" are
DECEIVEO! Going off in opposite
directions, to the opposite extremes
from the TRUTH, they are both
headed for the same ultimate desti–
nation, unless there can be a mind–
opening!
The Bible is the very SOURCE
of TRUE RATIONALISM, of baSÍC
TRUTH. Also it is the very
SOURCE of the only TRUE Gospel
and genuine SALVATJON. Surely it

highly improbable molecules.
Therefore, the odds against any
organism coming into existence by
pure chance are unbelievably fan–
tastic! Fact two means that natural
selection cannot make an organism
more probable, since natural selec–
tion requires the preexistence of an
organism. And fact three leads to
the conclusion that mutations can–
not account for the arrival of new
kinds of organisms.
Are the myriad forms that exist
today the result of the un–
fathomably improbable, blind
chance occurrence of highly com–
plex molecules, followed by even
more blind chance combinations of
the molecules. No. Does natural
selection provide the answer? No.
Do mutations explain how evolu–
tion occurs? No.
The conclusion is inescapable. This
temporary chemical existence we call
life was planned. Physical life was
designed. Physical life was
created!

it cannot be proven. And, among
the different religions, there are
as many concepts of God as
there are sects. Yet no quesllon

"Does God exist?"
