@@@^My curiosity has been aroused enough to ask, Why are you separate from the original church? You accept the Testimonies, Sabbath, tithe, and live in obedience to God’s commands. This is what I do, and live daily for Him, but I would like to hear more of your teachings. I will read anything you have to offer. I have received light myself by study, and the Bible says: “Study to show thyself approved, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed.” I want to be a workman not ashamed.
Romans 9:12
@@@^I am writing this to tell you how thankful I am for the tracts you have been sending to me, for they came in answer to my prayer for more light on the subject I am now reading. Thanking you for the printed matter you have sent me, I ask God’s blessing on you and your work. @3S. R.
Romans 10:2
@@@^Here is another overwhelming proof of the truthfulness of this message: “These messages [the Three Angels’] were represented to me as an anchor to the people of God. Those who understand and receive them will be kept from being swept away by the many delusions of Satan.”—@9Early Writings@7, p. 256.
Romans 10:6
@@@^And as soon as I can I am going to send in to your movement any amounts of money which I can manage to help further your cause, because I truly do believe that your work is from God and there could not be anything which could please the Lord any more than that I should do everything and anything possible to assist in supporting your work and making it possible for more literature to be published and sent out to people who are desirous of knowing the real Truth.
Romans 10:9
@@@^I wish I had been acquainted with your people years before now, but since that wish can never be true, I am certainly going to take advantage of every moment that presents itself, to learn all that I can possibly crowd into my mind. The truths which are given by the @9Rod@7 are the most wonderful and marvelous things I have ever come into contact with, because for the first time I feel that I have met someone who really believes in the Word of God only, and really accepts the Bible as a single standard for their belief. @3K. D.
Romans 11:7
@@@^“With eager interest, with fervent prayer, come to the Word of God, that you may know what is truth, manifesting the same spirit as did Nathanael when he earnestly besought the Lord that he might know the truth. Light will come to every earnest seeker for truth, as it came to Nathanael. . . .
Romans 11:13
@@@^I entreat you all, therefore, by the living God, to depart from dictating terms to others, and from forcing your religious standards upon them. Do not encroach upon anyone’s religious rights or become angry with those who disagree with your belief, but rather join me in conforming to the following divine injunction:
Romans 11:14
@@@^“Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Romans 11:15
@@@^“Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. @9Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind@7.” Rom. 14:1-5. Our duty is not to force, but only to teach obedience to the Truth.
Romans 13:1
@@@^Clearly, then, the deadline idea is specious, and is designed to discourage those affected, causing those already in the message, to rationalize their way out because of the futility of staying in, and justifying others in not making the necessary effort to get into the net of salvation when the opportunity presents itself. Indeed, it even forces them to wait for their opportunity until it is forever gone! Says the Spirit of God: “Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.” Heb. 4:7.
Romans 13:7
@@@^Simply praying for one who is sick, without doing anything for him, can only mean, in the last analysis, that the suppliant is more righteous and pitiful than God, and is therefore trying to convince the Lord to do something for the sick, as though He did not want to.
Romans 13:8
@@@^When we pray for others, we are not acquainting God with anything with which He is not already infinitely better acquainted than are we. Therefore since He knows all about the matter, the reason we pray is not to convince Him that someone needs His help, but to ask His blessings upon what we may be able to do for the needy one. The Levite and the priest did not do anything for the wounded, and were condemned for their pitilessness, whereas the Samaritan did, and was commended for his humanitarianism. Whether, therefore, we pray for others or for ourselves, we are praying for the Lord’s blessings upon our feeble efforts.
Romans 13:11
@@@^Still further, even if the absolute names of the Trinity were known, their use would lead to irreverent address. For example, @9suppose @7the Father’s name is George; the Son’s, Thomas; and the Holy Ghost’s, William. Could any God-fearing human being even dare think of its being reverent to say, I now baptize you in the name of George, Thomas, and William! Let us therefore comply with the Lord’s command: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of be Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Matt. 28:19. (For further light on this subject, study our @9Tract No.@7 11.)
Romans 14:4
@@@^@9The Shepherd’s Rod@7, Vol. 2, through the study of the flood, draws the conclusion that the Lord will come on a Wednesday night, and @9Early Writings@7, p. 285, states that God will announce the day and hour of His return. But Christ says: “. . . of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Matt. 24:36.
Romans 15:3
@@@^Why does the Code say that no one is fit to teach the message, whereas Jesus commands: “Go ye therefore and teach all nations,” and “sow beside all waters”? Moreover, “if we confesss our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.” Why, then, can we not go and teach God’s Word?
Romans 15:4
@@@^The @9Code@7 does not intend to convey the idea that no one@9 ever@7 will be qualified to teach, for such a static condition, on the part of God’s people, would make them forever unfit to gather in the first and second fruits. Clearly, therefore, what the @9Code@7 did say, is merely that no one was at that time qualified. Our unfitness, however, rather than disheartening and causing us to sit idle, should, as the @9Code@7 intended, encourage us to prepare for service. We should, therefore, diligently study the message and faithfully comply with all its requirements, and while we are thus making ourselves ready, we can be helping others to do likewise.
Romans 15:7
@@@^“Against these men (Wycliffe, Huss, Luther, Tyndale, Baxter, Wesley), persecution raged with relentless fury; yet they ceased not to declare the truth. Different periods in the history of the church have each been marked by the development of some special truth, adapted to the necessities of God’s people at that time. Every new truth has made its way against hatred and opposition; those who were blessed with its light were tempted and tried.” The Lord gives a special truth for His people in an emergency. Who dares refuse publish it? He commands His servants to deliver the last invitation of mercy to His church. They cannot shirk this responsibility, except at the peril of their own souls. (See @9The Great Controversy@7, p. 609.)
Romans 16:1
@@@^At the conference meetings in Los Angeles in the spring of 1934, it was unanimously adopted that every Friday evening at the appointed hour (5 P.M. Pacific Standard Time; 6 P.M. Mountain Standard Time; 7 P.M. Central Standard Time; 8 P.M. Eastern Standard Time) believers everywhere in Present Truth join in seeking God in behalf of the message, believing that such a concerted voice will, in all truth, lay at Heaven’s altar “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man [which] availeth much
1 Corinthians 3:2
@@@^“ . . . for God will glorify His Word, that it may appear in a light in which we have @9never before@7 beheld it . . . Light will come to every earnest seeker for truth, as it came to Nathanael . . . There should be liberty given for a frank investigation of truth, that @9each@7 may know for himself what is the truth.
1 Corinthians 3:3
@@@^“ . . . if a message comes that you do not understand, take pains that you may hear the reasons the messenger may give, . . . for your position will not be shaken by coming in contact with error . . . No one of those who imagine that they know it all is too old or too intelligent to learn from the humblest of the messengers of the living God.” — @9Testimonies On Sabbath School Work@7, pp. 60-66.
