ion destroys the doctrines of the =Deity= and the
=virgin birth= of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible makes Christ the Seed of the woman, not of the man, as all other
human beings are; it makes His conception to have been that of the Holy
Spirit; it declares His virgin birth in language that cannot be
misunderstood; it makes Him the Son of God, not the son of Joseph.
It also makes Him God tabernacling in the flesh; it makes Him the Second
Person of the Triune =God=; it declares in so many words that He =is= God.
But evolution cannot accept such a doctrine, and so the evolutionist
juggles the Scripture statements of His Deity and denies His virgin birth,
making Him a Jewish bastard, born out of wedlock, and stained forever with
the shame of His mother's immorality.
Dr. A. C. McGiffert says of Christ, that He is
no more divine than we are, or than nature is.
A magazine article on "The Cosmic Coming of the Christ" says:
First the little scum on the warm, stagnant water, then the
little colonies of cells, the organisms, the green moss and
lichen, the beauty of vegetation, the movement of shell fish,
sponges, jelly fish, worms, crabs, trilobites, centipedes,
insects, fish, frogs, lizards, dinosaurs, reptile birds,
birds, kangaroos, mastodons, deer, apes, primitive man, cave
man, man of the stone age, of earliest history, Abraham's
migration, the Exodus, the development of the Jewish
religious life and the climax in that purest of maidens, Mary
of Nazareth. The hour had come for the dawn of a new day, and
the light of that new day was the birth of Jesus. The eternal
purpose of the ages was now to be made clear, and the long,
long aeons of creation explained.
It is no wonder that after quoting these words the "Sunday School Times"
exclaims:
In other words, without moss we could not have had Mary;
without an ape we could not have had Abraham; and--shocking
blasphemy--without a centipede we could not have had Christ!
Praise God, we may turn from this to the words of God; "For
it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the
discernment of the discerning I will bring to naught."
And so here once more the consistent evolutionist is compelled to reject
the Bible by denying the doctrines of the Deity and the virgin birth of
Christ.

substitution=.
