Robert Kuhn, Ph.D., and perhaps one or two others, scholars, of
this world's higher education, wanted God's doctrines put in the
form and order of modern scholarship.
I have said before--and quoted U.S. Senator Hayakawa, former
university professor and president--that this modern academic scholar
ship does INTIMIDATE students on the college level, and those starting
in graduate work at a university.
But did it ever occur to us that the greatest author, educator and
revealer of knowledge of all--the real author of the world's greatest
seller--and least understook Book, the Holy Bible, did not organize
and systematize His revelation and dissemination of TRUTH in this
"scholarly" manner!
Up to a certain point--the history of ancient Israel, the
historical account is largely in orderly sequence--but God's most
important revelation of HIS TRUTH--HIS DOCTRINES AND BELIEFS--which
He wanted to be those of His Church, are here. a little, and there a
little. They are not in orderly sequence, not in what "scholars"
in the world's universities would consider a "Systematic Theology
Project".
Well WHAT then? Are we to conclude that God is ignorant, unlearned,
unscholarly--and inferior to self-exalted scholars of our day?
·I think not.
Fellow ministers, we are not OF this world! We do not·--must not-
operate by its standards. God has�alled us OUT from the world, to be
SEPARATE--His people, doing things His way.
So I say to you that the new book, The Incredible HUMAN POTENTIAL,
is a portion of what the "STP" was supposed to be--an EXPOSITION OF
THE doctrines, beliefs, practices and traditions of the Worldwide
Church of God!
It is presented, NOT in the academic system of "higher criticism".
Neither is God's Book, supreme over all, It is not an academically
systematized order. But it is written in a style which we hope
the reading public will find interesting, revealing, eye-opening,
containing Christ's Message in an easy-to-read manner that does not
require a Ph.D. to decipher. It is written as God has revealed to
me He wants it written. And it covers a multitude of vital truths
that have been totally glossed over by organized "Christianity",
truths that neither science nor education nor organized religion can
answer--the MOST IMPORTANT TRUTHS in life.
And so, as I know Jesus Christ would have me dG, I make the
reading, AND CAREFUL STUDY of this book AN ASSIGNMENT.
Please do not just read it. STUDY IT! Read it again and again.
Preach sermons from it!
This book will be on the market in book stores, I am now informed,
by April. Also an up-dated edition, hard cover, of The World
T O M OR R O w--Wha� it Will be Like.
