Arnold Murray

Murray preaches a chapter by chapter, verse by verse approach to teaching the Bible, and routinely excoriates "false preachers" who he claims know little of the Bible's wisdom.

Murray rarely comments on current events. His daily program consists of one hour Bible study, and one additional hour of questions via mail. He declines to answer questions about particular denominations within Christianity, and other religions, saying "lets just stick to studying God's word." Murray does however object to several conventions within various aspects of mainstream Christianity, such as the use of the term "reverend", which he says no one is entitled to.

Murray comes under considerable scrutiny for his views, which he terms right-wing. He is admired by the white-supremacist Christian Identity movement. He claims to disagree with racist views, and uses the terms "tribes" as a euphemism for "races". When he refers to a "tribe of Cain", for example, his wording is ambiguous as to whether he means 'murderers all belong to Cain's tribe', or 'such a tribe, decended from Cain, is predispositioned to murder.'
