These false teachers tell us that our Lord's ''human nature had to be consecrated to death before
He could receive even the pledge of the divine nature," and that not until He had actually sacrificed the human nature, even unto death, did our
Lord Jesus become partaker of the divine nature,
and that since His resurrection He is vvhat He
never was before that is, "a god," and only in that
sense will they acknowledge Him as divine.
Then, according to this wic;.:ed system of teaching, there are three distinct and separate beings,
first this ''created being of the highest order,"
then the man Jesus Christ, and. last of all, when
this man had rlied, and forever ceased. to be, they
tell us of "a, god;" and this is the one they present
to us in the stead of the true Christ of God. Dear
reader, can you afford to let go the Christ our God
has given us, aud who has told out His love for us
in dying on Calvary's cross for our eternal redemption, for the one this wretched system presents1 Never, no, never.
. Onr third point is in connection with the Holy
Spirit. .And here J\iillennial Dawnism. is M false
as on these other points which we have been considering. Eut we need not wonder, for the entire
system is Satanic, and an effort to rob us of the
truth of the Godhead. They tell us that the Holy
Spirit is not a divine person. Let us see how scripture speaks of Him. In R.omans 8 He is spoken of
as making intercession for us with groanings
which cannot be uttered. We also have the
