I learned that the Bible
is like a jigsaw puzzle--thousands of pieces that need putting together--and
the pieces will fit together in only one way. Then the picture becomes crystal clear
to the one willing to believe what God our Creator says.
This present book merely
puts the many pieces of the great puzzle together so they can be clearly
understood. As you read and reread this book, compare constantly with your
own Bible. See these truths with your own eyes in your own Bible. And open
your mind to God's leading you into his TRUTH as you do. It will make a lot of
sense as nothing ever did before.
Time may prove this
to be the most important book written in almost 1,900 years. Not because of literary excellence or flowery language of
scholarship that it has purposely avoided, but because of its plainness of
speech in clarifying the most important knowledge ever revealed from the
supreme source of understanding of that which has mystified all humans since
man first appeared on earth.
It is evident that Mr. Armstrong's followers simply picked up the cue from him. For it is Armstrong who said himself of his own book that it was indeed "the most important book written in almost 1,900 years"!
The Church was
infiltrated during the first century with another gospel. Many false teachings
and false churches under the name of "traditional Christianity"
arose. As God reveals in Revelation 12:9, the whole world has been deceived.
These basic truths have been kept a mystery. Even sincere and well-meaning
men among the clergy have received their teaching from other men as handed down
traditionally in these churches. They have assumed these false teachings
to be the true teachings of the Bible. Instead of putting the various
pieces of the jigsaw puzzle properly and sensibly together, it has become the
practice and custom to read an already-believed false teaching into each
particular scripture, taken out of its context. In other words to
interpret the scriptures to say what they have already been taught and come to
believe. The Bible needs no interpretation because it interprets itself.
This becomes clear when one sees the various scriptures of each subject
properly put together, and the Bible itself says, "here a little, and
there a little" (Isa. 28:10). Even the world of a professed traditional
Christianity has been deceived.
The implication one draws from the above is that Armstrong believed he had the true teachings of the Bible, that Armstrong believed that he had the true Church. He also believed that he put the various pieces of the jigsaw puzzle properly and sensibly together. That he did not engage in the practice and custom of reading an already-believed false teaching into scripture, nor take scripture out of its context. In other words, he believed he did not make the mistake made by "traditional Christianity"!
If Armstrong was correct then this might indeed prove to be the most important book written in 1,900 years, going by what Armstrong has said of his book, and his castigating of "traditional Christianity".
