subtle. She rejects Paul's words and then writes messages which are equal with inspiration ... . She gets her
visions and revelations from the same place all the other false teachers get theirs ...
Thirdly. She mangles the parts of Scripture she does use until they suit her purpose. I could give you enough
examples of her twisting Scripture to fill a dozen letters, but I must content myself with one or two. Here is one
she uses over and over again - Matt. 10:7,8. In the first place the passage has absolutely nothing to do with the
preaching of this age. It has to do with the preaching of the kingdom when Jesus was here and is predictive of
the preaching of the kingdom during the great tribulation immediately before He comes again. To force Matt. 10
into this age is to disobey 2 Tim. 2:15 - "Rightly dividing the Word of Truth". Since she has decided to tear this
passage out of a Jewish age and compel us to live under it, she has to doctor it up to suit herself. Here is the way
she always quoted it - (vs. 8):
"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye have received, freely give".
Now get down your Bible and see what she did to the verse. She left out, "raise the dead". She had an
exceedingly good reason for leaving it out. She not only leaves those words out when she is preaching, but they
are left out of the passage when she quotes it in her printed literature. I charge her with handling the Word of
God deceitfully and consequently leading thousands astray.
But someone says, "You could not expect her to raise the dead". To which I must respond, "I beg your
pardon. If that passage means this age, as she claims it does, then she has GOT to raise the dead, or the Bible is
false! ... ".
There is another passage which she uses almost constantly. It is Mark 16:17,18. She juggles this Scripture in
the very same way she does the Matthew passage. She always reads it thus :
"These signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name they shall cast out demons, they shall speak with
new tongues, they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover".
Get your Bible again, and see how she tricked her audiences. She deliberately cuts out the words:
"They shall take up serpents and if they shall drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them ... ".
The result of this wicked teaching is grievous. Cases are on record where young men and women remained all
night in the meeting-house piled upon the floor. Many are the cases of terrible immorality and broken homes ... .
Other cases are on record of insanity and death resulting from receiving "the Baptism of the Holy Spirit".
Suffice it to say the horrid unscriptural thing which this woman teaches poor, earnest, deluded Christians to seek
is the incoming of demons and NOT the baptism of the Holy Spirit'.
Here is the testimony of Dr. W.P. White, of the Extension Department of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago:
`Two Pastors of Eugene, Oregon, listened to Price tell of the great miracles wrought by Mrs. McPherson. Then
he said, "You do not have to go to Los Angeles to see a miracle wrought. There is a man who lives five and a
half miles north of this place, who, when he came on to the platform for healing at Albany, had a frightful
cancer. The smell was almost unbearable. His face was so eaten away by cancer that you could see his teeth. I
PRAYED OVER HIM AND HE WAS HEALED. There is now only a little red spot left where the cancer was, and that is
fast disappearing. If you want to see for yourself, go and see". The two Pastors took Price at his word and drove
out to the man's home. His wife came to the door, and when she heard of their mission said, "YES, HALLELUJAH,
MY HUSBAND IS HEALED". When they went into the house the smell was terrible. The husband came from
another room with a bath-towel on his shoulders on which the cancer had been running. His face was consumed
so that you could not only see his teeth, but also his jaw bone. Using one side of his mouth he cried, "YES,
HALLELUJAH, PRICE PRAYED FOR ME AND I AM HEALED!" The poor man had been so hypnotised that he believed
that he was healed when he was dying with cancer!'
The writer gives another case of a supposed cure of blindness, and concludes by saying:
`I can get a hundred such testimonials from godly people in every town where Mrs. McPherson or Price has
been'.
