@@@^Those who have undertaken to interpret the Scriptures independently of Inspiration, a private exercise which is contrary to the injunction given in 2 Peter 1:20, 21, and those who have accepted such views, will, unless they now forsake their errors for the truth, one day find themselves the victims of the disastrous circumstances with which they have bound themselves, and will be terribly confounded as they hear the horrifying pronouncement: “I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied”; “depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.” Jer. 23:21; Matt. 7:23.
2 Thessalonians 115:3
@@@^The investigative judgment being in two sections (the first, devoted to the dead; the second, to the living) , the fact is evidenced that though the first, the second, and the third angel’s messages (Rev. 14:6-12) apply directly to the period of the judgment of the living, they must also, though indirectly, apply to the period of the judgment of the dead. In this relation only, except as a warning of coming events, have they been preached since 1844. When, therefore, the judgment of the living commences and the image of the beast is fully made up, then these messages are, with @9a @7loud cry, to be repeated as present truth concerning the living instead of the dead.@9 @7
2 Thessalonians 121:1
@@@^All mankind are therefore to be judged according to the measure of light which God has turned upon their way, and according to their desire to walk in the light. And those who unfortunately have failed to learn of him and to know the exact truth, will not be condemned for having believed an error while they were in the darkness, but “this is the condemnation,” says the Lord, “that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:19.
1 Timothy 2:1
@@@^That everyone who thirsteth for the truth may obtain it, this tract is mailed free of charge. It levies one exaction, the soul's obligation to itself to prove all things fast and hold fast that which is good. The only strings attached to this free proffer are the golden strands of Eden and the crimson cords of Calvary -- the ties that bind.
1 Timothy 6:4
@@@^Any explanation of a prophecy which adds to or takes from any part of relevant scripture in order to harmonize the interpretation, can only be false. When the Spirit of God interprets the Scriptures, He does not in any way need to alter any part of Them in order to make the explanation fit that which is being unfolded. When, moreover, the true interpretation of a prophecy is made, it always contains a lesson of present truth “adapted to the necessities of God’s people” (@9The Great Controversy,@7 p. 609) at the time the scripture is revealed. Knowing this, Satan is continually
1 Timothy 9:4
@@@^Their subscribing to such a practice, moreover, undermines faith in the Bible, for if the Revelator be wrong in one instance, then can he not be mistaken in other instances also? And if we cannot depend upon the book of The Revelation just as it reads, then how can we put confidence in any of the Bible? And if inspired prophets cannot declare the positive truth of what they see, then how can uninspired students of their writings declare it? So, those who learn “to give an answer to every man that asketh . . . a reason of the hope that is in” (1 Pet. 3:15) them, will have no trouble answering the question:@9 @7
1 Timothy 11:1
@@@^True, the seer of Patmos was an erring human being like ourselves, but the one who dictated His writings — the great and infallible I Am, Overseer and Proof Reader of the Scriptures — was there to see that John made a faithful record of what he saw, for the exact truth of the symbolism means our very life. Indeed, it is not possible that the Lord would jeopardize our salvation by displaying the symbolism so far removed from John’s sight that he could not accurately see and record it, and yet expect to save us by it.@9 @7
1 Timothy 11:2
@@@^If John failed to see correctly the symbols in the vision, as these supposed-to-be men of learning and experience speciously explain, then does it not imply that God is indifferent as to whether or not He reveals in a misleading way truth which is essential to our salvation? If not, and if John was wrong, why, then, did not God correct him? Was it impossible for Him here to correct His prophet?@9 @7
1 Timothy 15:2
@@@^Let the solemn truth never be forgotten, therefore, that never at any time has God’s church been led astray because of investigating new doctrines which knocked at her doors, pleading to be received. On the contrary she has many times been left in darkness because of indolence, indifference, and prejudice in investigating to find out whether or not the so-called “strange teachings” were from God. And sad to say, the same condition exists today.
1 Timothy 15:4
@@@^Now, as in times past, church leaders and ministers are crying out against every increase of light, and are keeping the people away from it. At the same time, they are feeding the flock with so much truth-coated error that the sheep are dying spiritually.
1 Timothy 15:5
@@@^“The food that is being prepared for the flock will cause spiritual consumption, decline, and death. When those who profess to believe present truth come to their senses, when they accept the Word of God just as it reads, when they do not try to wrest the Scriptures, they will bring from the treasurehouse of the heart things new and old, to strengthen themselves and those for whom they labor.” — @9Review and Herald@7, Vol. 78, No. 25, Tuesday, June 18, 1901. (See also @9Early Writings@7, p.62.)
1 Timothy 17:1
@@@^However, going beyond this modest intention of the author, the denomination omitted from the later editions of the book the word “thoughts,” the first word of the original title. And now some of the leading men try to make us believe that Sister White was shown that an angel was guiding Elder Smith’s hand while he was resetting the theories of uninspired men! Hence it is very evident that though large portions of the book impair the finality of the Scriptures, yet the book’s champions will have the errors at all costs — even at the expense of truth! Indeed, their thus exalting the fabrications of men, and stamping them as bearing the seal of Inspiration, while depreciating the precision of The Revelation, show that Satan is the one who has led them into this rationalizing.
1 Timothy 18:2
@@@^Our conduct as S.D.A.’s has all too precisely fulfilled the prophecy against the Laodiceans, thus indelibly labeling us as that people. Let us therefore confess our sins, and gladly accept the Father’s counsel: “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Rev. 3:17, 18. With his eyes thus anointed, one will then, as he searches for the truth, find that
1 Timothy 21:3
@@@^Contradicting this heaven-given view @9Thoughts on Daniel and The Revelation@7 applies the number “666” to the pope. From this we see that Elder Smith did not share in the same Inspiration which guided Sister White. Though as her follower he was influenced by her, yet his book shows that he was also influenced by the writings of uninspired authors. Containing doctrines from her writings as well as from theirs, the book, consequently, is an admixture of truth and error.
1 Timothy 24:2
@@@^“But beware of rejecting that which is truth. The great danger with our people has been that of depending upon men, and making flesh their arm. Those who have not been in the habit of searching the Bible for themselves, or weighing evidence, have confidence in the leading men and accept the decisions they make; and thus many will reject the very messages God sends to His people, if these leading brethren do not accept them.” — @9Testimonies to Ministers,@7 p.106.
1 Timothy 24:3
@@@^“You have no right to manage,” further says the Spirit of Truth, “unless you manage in God’s order. Are you under the control of God? Do you see your responsibility to Him? . . . That these men should stand in a sacred place to be as the voice of God to the people, as we once believed the General Conference to be, — that is past. What we want now is reorganization” (@9General Conference Bulletin 34th @7session, Vol. 4, Extra No. 1, April 3, 1901, p. 25, Cols. 1, 2) rather than time-wasting in asking the question:
1 Timothy 26:4
@@@^Only when this question is rightly answered will we have the key — the correct interpretation — to unlock this great symbolical treasure house of truth. In setting out upon this quest, let us begin, logically, at the beginning of John’s account of his vision of the trumpets.
1 Timothy 29:2
@@@^That a horse, as in the sixth trumpet, should have a tail of serpents, a lion’s head, and a mouth belching fire, smoke, and brimstone — how utterly and fantastically impossible! These unnatural and grotesque combinations therefore reveal that the truth of the seven trumpets is to be unlocked only by the key of symbolical interpretation, and that hence the Bible Itself must explain
1 Timothy 32:1
@@@^This basic truth that each period of destruction follows only after a corresponding period of sealing, is corroborated by the fact that the symbolical locusts, which came up at the sounding of the fifth trumpet, hurt only those men which had “not the seal of God in their foreheads.” All this shows not only that each trumpet follows its sealing period, but also that the nature of the trumpets reveals the punishment of those who failed to receive the seal in their particular periods.
1 Timothy 32:4
@@@^For example: Daniel’s vision of the four beasts was given to show in particular that the “little horn” (Dan. 7:8) of the fourth beast was to wear out the saints of the Most High (Dan. 7:25), and not especially to predict the development of the Babylonian, Medo-Persia, Grecian, and Roman empires. For these empires were already made known in the vision of the great image of chapter two which, in turn, is intended principally to show that the kingdoms of this world are to deteriorate and finally be broken by Christ’s kingdom, which is to rule the whole world. To help us, though, more readily to see the truth of these latter events the prophecy starts away back with Babylon then in its sweep forward embraces the rise and fall of the great historical kingdoms, and terminates with the setting up of Christ’s kingdom and with the end of this world (Dan. 2:44).
