It is a strange thing to me: how some preachers can preach and write on some subjects of the New Testament, sway from one side of the rostrum to the other, and vehemently affirm that "this is unquestionably true," (which no one denies or even doubts), yet if you ask them to affirm certain things which the Apostles taught, and were practiced in the Church of Christ down to recent times, they will snarl at you, call you any old name, and ask the church where you preach, or teach, to dismiss you as a dangerous man, just like the "Denoms" used to do.

It is strange how some preachers glory in some of the denominational practices, for which they cannot give one single proof-text from the New Testament, yet they are very popular among those whom they have lulled to sleep by their false doctrines and substitutions.

If you ask them to affirm these innovations and sustain them in debate, they treat your challenge with silent contempt. And yet they claim to be Christians, just waiting for their translation in a "chariot of fire." They will find a chariot of fire alright, but it will go in the opposite direction to what Elijah went.

Some "Big-lights" have insisted on a twentieth century religion. Well I suppose these "substitutions" introduced by some of "our preachers" are a fore-runner of that religion. Man made elders, local pastors, hired preachers, International Literature, sitting in prayer, individual cups, solo and quartet songs, etc., are a very good start towards a new religion, for not a whit of it is found in the Bible, yet all the "Big preachers endorse these things. They care nothing for what Jesus Christ, or God the Father says, their motto seems to be: "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you die."

Listen: "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you;.neither shall ye diminish aught from it; that ye may keep the commandment of the Lord your God, which I command you." Deut. 4:2. "Whatsoever thing I command you, observe and do it; thou shalt not add thereto nor diminish from it." Deut. 12:32. "Add thou not unto His word, lest He reprove thee and thou be found a liar." Prov. 30:6. "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." Gal. 1:18.

I also refer you who are preaching and practicing those things named above, or anything else, not fully sustained by the word of God, to remember that God is not mocked." You shall reap what you sow.

Jude says "they have gone in the way of Cain." Some examples please.

David put the Ark of God on a new cart to carry it to Jerusalem. What happened? 1 Chron. 18:7. Nadab and Abihu put "strange fire" into their cencers, what happened? Lev. 10. Read. Aaron substituted a gold calf for God as leader of Israel. What happened to him? Ex. 32:1-4; Num. 20:8-13; Saul, I Sam. 1 :22, 23; Go read and take warning.

Conclusion: "Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous generation, of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." Mark 8:38. "Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." Eccl. 12:13.

If any preacher who reads the above, will give me the scripture sustaining the practices named above, he will not only confer a great blessing upon me and many others, but he will save our souls. If he can’t then we will try our best to save his soul, for he is lost.
