Why does Les say the woman's book is deceptive?
The woman's book is deceptive because it appears thick and substantial, yet its actual content is very small; the remainder is mostly bibliography and filler. It also denies the virgin birth and dismisses the crucifixion as fiction, making the whole work a farce from start to finish.
Les explains that the woman's book is deceptive because it looks very thick, but in reality its basic content is very small, and the rest is just bibliography and what have you. He calls the whole thing a farce from start to finish. He also points out that she poo-poos the whole idea of the virgin birth, claiming that in reality Joseph was the father of Jesus. She says the story that he died on the cross is fiction for the babes, and his post-Easter appearances were the real flesh and blood Jesus holding an audience with his ministers. The writer of the article says we were meant to understand the text in this way when it is properly interpreted according to theory. Les connects this to false teachers and spiritual wickedness in high places, and cites Romans chapter 1 where Paul writes, "Thinking themselves wise, they became as fools." He notes that people are beginning to feel a belligerent antagonism against their faith.
