Opened and Unlocked?


The Pilgrim representative of the Bible Standard Ministries who is confused about the imputed merit (see April 26 post), and has been named as being the next Executive Trustee, is also confused about our writings. He seems to think that Bro. Johnson was not explaining the truth, but in fact was hiding away information to be "opened and unlocked" at a later date. Here is a portion of a  discourse he gave recently, transcribed from the audio copy:

“1 Peter 4:18. Because really we're getting some consideration to ones that are found righteous by God. We've all studied and recognized that as the last 15 or 20 years have come along, we've began to find understanding that was written back as far as 1934 in PT articles and so on, that is explaining where we are today. Brother Ralph has been bringing some of these thoughts a little bit to the forward, and its been causing just a little bit of unrest because its, again, its a new thought in the minds. But in my research I've found most of these thoughts back in 1934. It's like many things in our writings until it was time for them to be opened and unlocked, they were secret even though they were there, we didn't understand them.”
