This is a flagrant mis-statement of fact and truth. The law
Christ magnified was the Spiritual law (Rom. 7:14) of the TEN COMMAND­
MENTS. In this Christ MADE NO CHANGES WHATSOEVER -- BUT HE DID MAGNIFY
IT -- that is expanded the intended MEANING and INTENT of the Law.
This "STP" continues: "Christ Himself specifically abrogated
certain statements in the law, in relation to swearing and to marriage."
This is FALSE and is NOT Worldwide Church of God doctrine. Instead of
abrogating the STATUTE law as to swearing, Jesus STRENGTHENED IT, say­
ing, "Swear not at all." He DID NOT "specifically abrogate" God's
spiritual law regarding marriage, but straightened out a special ruling
Moses allowed carnal Israelites in the wilderness, "because of the
hardness of their hearts." It was this special allowance of MOSES -­
not the LAW OF GOD, spoken by His own voice to the entire Congregation
of Israel from Mt. Sinai -- that Christ referred to, setting it as
had God from the beginning. This unauthorized "STP" teaching is, in
this instance, an effort to follow the teachings of Protestant "higher
criticism" -- something full of errors and false teaching and NOT
accepted by this Church.
This is only an example of how the leaven of carnal "intellectual­
ism and "higher education" has been slyly, subtly, by Satan, introduced
into Ambassador College.
God Almighty brought me back from death, and has renewed my vital
powers to CAST OUT THIS SATANIC LEAVEN, and PUT AMBASSADOR COLLEGE
BACK ON THE TRACK ONCE AGAIN AS GOD'S COLLEGE!
Those of this world's "rationalism," and "higher education," look
on Jesus Christ as a back-woods ignorant simpleton, whose teachings
were FOOLISHNESS, and YOUR BIBLE SAYS SO! But it also says that their
erroneous "intellectualism" is FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD.
Jesus Christ, living HEAD of God's Church, used me as
His
instrument
in founding Ambassador College. It was UNIQUE in the world among educa­
tional institutions -- utterly unlike any other. It was GOD'S college!
But faculty members, educated and indoctrinated in the leaven of
secular "higher education," fought a desperate but losing battle with
me the first three years. They strove to make Ambassador a "rubber
stamp" of the colleges of Satan's world. I fought, bled and died in
this struggle to KEEP OUT this satanic leaven, and to make Ambassador
truly GOD'S college! And I SUCCEEDED -- with God's help!
But as the Work grew -- after we had reasonably well reached the
U.S., Canada, Britain, Western Europe, Australia and South Africa with
the true Gospel OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, the living CHRIST opened the
door to the Heads of State of many Gentile nations. Christ's Gospel
had been barred from entering those nations. Now, by winning favor
(which God gave me-in the eyes of kings, presidents, emperors and
prime ministers) at the very TOP of these nations, Christ OPENED THE ,,·i
i
DOOR to carry HIS GOSPEL MESSAGE for the first time into ·those populotli3
nations!
