EXAMINATION OF AN OLD TRUSTED WORK By Steve Van Nattan * * * Daily
Light on the Daily Path: By
Samuel Bagster & Sons
This work is a classic daily devotional. It has gone right around the world, especially throughout the British Commonwealth. It is also found in all Christian bookstores in the USA and Canada. Daily Light is so popular for one main reason-- It is the Word of God-- KJV only, with no commentary. This has made it seem safe over the years. One would never suspect that the Word of God could be arranged in some way which would teach heresy. The daily readings are made up of an average of six Bible texts arranged in order to build a theme for each day. Many of the selections are orderly and one cannot find fault with them. But, for some time now I have been getting angry at the selection process used to group Bible texts together as if they taught one theme. What is done in the Daily Light is absolutely based on Reformed theology. Perhaps what is most grievous is what is missing, or NOT taught. And, as you will see, there are some plain dumb selections made. But, let me show you several daily selections which are in great error, that is, as to the grouping of the texts. The following readings are only a few of the pages that have problems. Others could well be found I am sure. _________________________ * * * Editor: The theme here is meant to encourage us when some saint dies. The deadly thing here thought is that the Rapture texts are not complete, and they are relegated, via the Old Testament, into generality. The Jew went to the bosom of Abraham, so the Church Age believer just goes somewhere until everything ends, and God will somehow not forget him. NO hope of the Rapture appearance of Jesus is given. This is deficient at best and misleading. _________________________
Editor: Here is the Covenant Theology of the Reformed Movement in a classic trick to lead you into error. We believe that the covenants to Israel, while set aside during the Church Age, are to be fulfilled to Israel, or else God is a liar. Reformed theologians believe that Israel was trashed by God, and the Church receives all the unfinished covenants of Israel. Nutty as a fruitcake. Even at this moment, agnostic Jews have the Promised Land back, though in unbelief. After the Great Tribulation, the Jews who believe in Christ and are preserved will receive the Promised Land. The Church will NOT receive these physical Covenanted lands. So, the leading text sets the question up? The implication is that one can lose a covenant, that is after we read the following texts. The text from Psalms reinforces the teaching that Covenants can be lost. The Colossians text then sets the context as the "corruptible" crown of real estate promised to Israel by God, and the "incorruptible" as the spiritual fulfillment of the Covenant to the Church. The Matthew text then picks up Messianic teaching TO THE JEWS by Jesus before the transition to the crucifixion days much later. The Covenanted people are now in line to lose their promises, as was taught above. This theme is reinforced for a couple of verses more. The Proverbs text is grabbed next and used to again give the reward of the Old Testament promise to the Church. The last two texts used then turns the Covenants of God to Israel into the reward of the hope of eternal life in heaven where the saints are rewarded. Good-bye promises to Israel. You need to understand that British theologians have ALWAYS spiritualized everything. They can take any warm fuzzie notion and give it what seems like rock hard proof texting. How? They are masters of twisting the Word of God around to make it defend their errors and presuppositions.
