Billy Sunday Predicts Modernist Preachers Will Go to Hell, Jan. 5, 1924

Billy Sunday Takes a Whack at the Modernists

Charlotte, Jan. 4—Denouncing Fosdick, Grant and other modernists, Mr. Sunday today declared: “No man has the right to preach false doctrines from the pulpits of the churches built by those who believe in the creed of Jesus Christ.

“We are getting away from the ministerial qualifications of olden times and the men who are being inducted into the churches are not leaders in things spiritual.

“It seems fashionable today to say, ‘I believe in the Bible, but not in the supernatural things in the book.’ Too many read the Bible with a blue pencil in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other. If you cut out of the word of God what you do not like, you are a crook, a black-hearted sinner, and you’ll go to hell despite your D.D.’s and your L.L.D.’s.
