t inherit the kingdom of God." In this catalogue of evil
works you will find the word "heresies." Upon examining other translations
you will find it rendered sects. See Emphatic Diaglott.

"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions
[schisms--margin] among you." 1 Cor. 1:10. "But there were false prophets
also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." 2 Pet. 2:1. In
the German version the words "damnable heresies" is rendered "destructive
sects." Paul sternly reproves the Corinthians and declares them carnal
because of a division that had been manifested among them. 1 Cor. 3:1-4;
also 1 Cor. 1:10-13.

Organization Of The Church Of God.

We will have to go to the dictionary to find a definition of the word
"organize," since the word is not found in the Bible. "To arrange in
parts; to form in due order; to furnish with organs," is the common
definition. While the term "organize" is not contained in the Scriptures,
yet the work of organizing God's church was performed, and his precious
truth tells us how, and by whom it was done. "For to one [individual] is
given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge
by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the
gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles;
to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits, to another divers
kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: but all these
worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally
as he will." 1 Cor. 12:8-11. Nothing need be plainer. It is the mission of
the Holy Spirit to impart unto or bestow upon each member of God's church
such qualifications as will make him a useful and effectual organ in this
holy structure.

What is necessary for the building and furnishing of the church of God is
not necessary in the formation and organization of a man-made
ecclesiasticism. For man to build what he is pleased to call a church he
does not have to furnish it with "a gift of faith," nor "a gift of
healing," nor of "working of miracles," nor of "prophecy," nor of
"discerning of spirits," nor of "diversities of tongues," nor of
"interpretation of tongues." Neither does he requir
