| Summary: | The issue between a sane and fanatical use of the Scripture grows daily more pronounced and less merely theological. Prophetic conferences are being held all over the nation to set forth the signs of the coming of Christ and the end of the world. In some of its forms this teaching cuts the nerve of patriotism and prevents its followers from heartily supporting the government. For instance, one pastor of a Baptist church is reported to have never prayed for victory for the American troops. But the danger to the church is not limited to any one particular sect or group. All over the country this teaching is threatening the health of our churches. Fundamentally it rests upon a use of the Scripture, and is now flourishing among those who refuse to accept the facts furnished by a historical approach to the Scripture. |
