ANDREW DAVID URSHAN'S VIEW OF THE INCARNATION

A PERSIAN EVANGELIST

Reverend Andrew D. Urshan was born on May 17, 1884 in Persia, in a village called Adabjaloo. This village lay approximately four hundred miles northwest of Mt. Ararat, where Noah's ark rested. Andrew was converted in his homeland in 1900.  

In 1902 he came to the United States, landing in Yonkers, New York. He began preaching the gospel in 1904 and remained faithful to his calling until his death sixty-three years later. In 1906, in Chicago, he witnessed a new touch of God's sanctifying grace and a fresh divine anointing that set him on fire to win lost souls. He immediately began personal work among his fellow Assyrian people, with marked success.

ANDREW DAVID URSHAN'S TEACHINGS REGARDING THE INCARNATION

The teachings of UPCI Bible Schools including the UPCPI Bible Schools adheres the teachings that it was the LOGOS that incarnated or the LOGOS became flesh, contrary to the erroneous teachings GOD became flesh as explained clearly quoting Andrew Urshan’s writings.

 - “Our Lord before He came in the flesh, He eternally existed as “God-and-Word,” notice: He was not only the Word of God, (Logos) but also the very God, just as His beloved apostle said, “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.”  Here our Lord is declared to be both God and the Word.  The reader must also notice that God did not become flesh and God was manifested in the flesh.  So to say “God incarnate” is not right for God can not be begotten, nor can He be born of a woman, but to say the Word incarnate and God was the personified Word reconciling the world unto himself in His glorious and omnipresent Being, is scriptural teaching.”   - Andrew David Urshan
