Excerpt from Errors of Russellism: A Brief Examination of the Teachings of Pastor Charles T. Russell, as Set Forth in His "Studies in Scriptures"After reading the six volumes entitled Studies in the Scriptures, written by Pastor Chas. T. Russell of Brooklyn Tabernacle, New York City, the noted millennialist of the present day, and finding a num ber of fundamental errors relating to the doctrines of the gospel and involving the final destiny of thou sands of souls, I have decided to set these errors, in their true light, before the public.Brie¿y stated, Mr. Russell's Plan is as follows That we are now living in the closing up of the gos pel age, that during the gospel age the object of God's plan has been to select a few saints, whom Mr. Russell terms the church, the bride, the Lord's elect, members of the Lord's body, and of the high calling, that the call to these special favors closed A. D. 1881, that Christ has already returned to earth in his glorified and invisible body, that the kingdom has been set up in power, the dead saints have been resurrected, and the millennium has begun, that the times of the Gentiles, that is, Gentile dominion (present forms of government among the nations of the world), ends with 1914. The date he fixed for the Savior's second coming was 1874, and for the setting up of his millennial kingdom, 1878. The gospel age, according to his interpretation and application of Scripture, closes with a time of trouble, or day of vengeance, such as the world has never known. This period is to continue forty years, beginning A. D. 1874 and ending 1914.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
