The U.S. and Britain in Prophecy
After reading the second installment of
"The United States and Britain in Proph–
ecy,"
l
can't help but wonder why you
cannot talk to our P resident, Mr. Carter;
also all congressmen. You have gone to
foreign countries and talked to dignitar–
ies, why not here?

The Plain Truth
is really an interest–
ing magazine again. "The United States
and Britain in Prophecy" is really fasci–
nating. Please keep up these informative
articles.

God and the Astronomers
Your article on "God and the Astrono–
mers" fails to appreciate, for obvious rea–
sons, that the matter of the universe must
have already existed; it was not created
by God. The Genesis account refers to
the earth and heaven, being the sky
above, as the entire universe. What you
have attempted todo is modernize the Bi–
ble and say that Genesis refers to all the
known universe. l f all matter is created,
then who created God? l f God had no
creator, then why should the universe
have one?

Your article "God and the Astrono–
mers" in the December
Plain Truth
did a
fine job explaining and disposing of the
"steady state," "oscillating universe, "
and "big bang" theories .

We found the picture on the front cover
of the current (September) issue of
The
Plain Truth
magazine in very poor taste
and incongruent with the total scope of
God 's Work. In fact , we found it quite
repulsive. l'm indeed aware of the "real
world" today and do realize the horrible

T
state of affairs men have caused. Nev·
ertheless, this issue of
The Plain Truth
is
not one which
I
would proudly display
with other Ambassador literature in our
living room before guests.

When
l
took the September issue of
The Plain Truth
from my mailbox and
saw the cover,
l
knew that it was going to
be an interesting issue.

enjoyed the arti–
cle "Holocaust in Cambodia" very much
and commend you for giving thousands of
readers all over the world this account of
what communism means. Thanks again
for work outstandingly done.

Comlng Soon: Too Good
To Be True?
There was a fabulous article titled "Com–
ing Soon" that set my thinking in the
right direction. In the back of my mind
l
always knew our King would come again,
but
1
never understood why or when.
Now
1
can truthfully say
l
will look for–
ward to that one certain day when He
will govern the world.
1
wish to thank all
of you who make it possible to under–
stand God's creation better. Keep up the
good work.

Personal- The Knowledge
Exploslon
So many thanks for the December issue
just received.
l
have just read Mr. Arm–
strong's "Personal" and
1
found it to be
most inspiring. I n fact, his account of
Mrs . Loma Armstrong's healing left me
with goose flesh- very thrilling!
1
love
the graphics on pages 36 and 37. Their
beauty was surprising and for personal
reasons the back cover cartoon is quite
attractive.
1
can hardly wait to examine
the rest of the magazine and to study the
Bible with its guidance.

S
J ust a few informal statements regard–
ing your article "The Knowledge Explo–
sion" (December 1978
Plain Truth) ,
in
which you state: "For evolution is the
atheists' attempt to explain the presenceof
a creation without a Creator." The theory
of evolution does not imply this at all.
It
only states that all forms of life have a
common ancestor.
lt
makes no attemptto
explain the origin of life.
I
find it very
compatible to believe in divine creation
and evolution at the same time, as they are
really talking about the same thing.

Orchlds from Our Readers

would like to congratulate those who
contribute their time and effort in such a
meaningful way to make possible the
publication of
The Plain Truth.
lndeed it
is truly a challenging magazine for both
Christians and non-Christians.

!'ve just started attending services at
the Saskatoon Church, and
·¡
am most
impressed by the people. The whole place
is just overflowing with joy. lncluded is a
tithe and offering to help others have the
oppor tunity to come in contact with the
Church as
l
have.
Mr. Gordon T.,
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
1
am a devout Roman Catholic and at
the same time a very happy recipient of
your publication,
The Plain Truth .
Every
issue is a unique experience for me.
lt
never fails to challenge either a theologi–
cal, sociological or economic concept that
1
have personally internalized. Every is–
sue then sends me to my own small li–
brary or to a period of meditation in
search of answers to the questions
The
Plain Truth
crea tes in my mind. We may
not always agree, but
I
appreciate the oc–
casion for keeping me a thinking person
in such vital a reas.
