Page 34 of 1472 Corinthians 17:11
@@@^“The Lord does not,” furthermore says the Spirit of Truth, “now work to bring many souls into the truth, because of the church-members who have never been converted, and those who were once converted but who have backslidden. What influence would these unconsecrated members have on new converts? Would they not make of no effect the God-given message which His people are to bear?”—@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 6, p. 371.
2 Corinthians 18:15
@@@^As the Lord, moreover, has revealed advanced truth through the @9Rod@7, but none through the Reformed S. D. A.’s, obviously, then, were there to be any such union, they must necessarily correct their views and then join with us in accepting the message of the @9Rod@7, rather than our throwing overboard its jewels of truth and then joining with them.
2 Corinthians 21:12
@@@^In other words, any statements incidental to a subject that is still out of sight in the unrolling of the scroll are made only in terms of truth as it is seen, or as it is commonly understood, not in terms of truth not seen. And if the understanding of that be wrong, the writer cannot be responsible for that which he has necessarily borrowed.
Galatians 101:2
@@@^O Brother, Sister, have you the faith of Lot? “All these things happened unto them for ensamples: and . . . are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” 1 Cor. 10:11. O let us, then, follow in the footsteps of these great men of God, trusting His immutable Word, and acting upon it without the slightest hesitation! Follow not in the way of those who doubted, questioned, and criticized, and who, in fatal consequence, never arrived at the knowledge of the truth. Of such who lived at the time of the early Advent Movement, church history says: “Multitudes, trusting implicitly to their pastors, refused to listen to the warning; and others, though convinced of the truth, dared not confess it, lest they should be ‘put out of the synagogue.’
Galatians 105:4
@@@^“As the light and life of men was rejected by the ecclesiastical authorities in the days of Christ so it has been rejected in every succeeding generation. Again and again the history of Christ’s withdrawal from Judea has been repeated. When the Reformers preached the word of God, they had no thought of separating themselves from the established church; but the religious leaders would not tolerate the light, and those that bore it were forced to seek another class, who were longing for the truth. In our day few of the professed followers of the Reformers are actuated by their spirit. Few are listening for the voice of God, and ready to accept truth in whatever guise it may be presented. Often those who follow in the steps of the Reformers are forced to turn away from the churches they love, in order to declare the plain teachings of the Word of God. And many times those who are seeking for light are by the same teaching obliged to leave the church of their fathers, that they may render obedience.” — @9The Desire of Ages@7, p. 232, par. 2.
Ephesians 3:4
@@@^All these in variously acting out the part which provoked the condemnation written against the Laodiceans, thereby fulfilling the prophecy which they ought not fulfill, are preparing themselves to be spued out (Rev. 3:14-18). And if they continue in their self-satisfied attitude that they have all the truth, and so have need of nothing more, they will spurn every new claimant to truth and toss the message into the discard because it comes through an unexpected channel. Certainly, then, were this tract not the unfolding of prophecy, the fact is inevitable that when the unfoldment did come, they would treat it in like manner, and consequently toss away their salvation!
Ephesians 44:1
@@@^“As never before, we should pray not only that laborers may be sent forth into the great harvest-field, but that we may have a clear conception of truth, so that when the messengers of truth shall come, we may accept the message and respect the messenger.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 6, p. 420. Let us, therefore, sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself, and
Ephesians 45:2
@@@^This fatal mistake was repeated during the Reformation, also in the preaching of the First, Second, and Third Angels’ messages. Thus each one who accepted the advancing truth and became a member of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, did so only by making his own investigation and decision independently of priest or scribe or pharisee. And if that method of investigation was the only sane and safe one then, it is just as certainly so now when we understand God’s Word better than when we first believed! And though for your following obediently in the way God commands, the unfaithful watchmen of today “cast you out,” and remove your name from the church books, you should rejoice (Isa. 66:5, Luke 6:22 23), and gladly endure the trial of your faith knowing that it “worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Cor. 4:17); that, indeed, your accepting the truth and obeying it is the only thing that will forever insure your membership with the redeemed, in the church eternal, and that the only book that is worth-while having your name in is “The Lamb’s Book of Life.”
Ephesians 51:1
@@@^“Let no one come to the conclusion that there is no more truth to be revealed.” — @9Testimonies on Sabbath School Work@7, p. 53. No one is to make up his mind “that the whole truth has been unfolded, and that the Infinite One has no more light for His people.” — @9ld@7., p. 60.
Ephesians 51:4
@@@^“To hold yourselves aloof from an investigation of truth is @9not@7 the way to carry out the Saviour’s injunction to ‘search the Scriptures.’ Is it digging for hidden treasures to call the results of someone’s labor a mass of rubbish, and make no critical examination to see whether or not there are precious jewels of truth in the collection of thought which you condemn?... Thus it was that the Jews did in the days of Christ, and we are warned not to do as they did, and be led to choose darkness rather than light.... No one of those who imagine that they @9know it all@7 is too old or too intelligent to learn from the humblest of the messengers of the living God.” — @9ld.@7, pp. 65, 66.
Ephesians 52:1
@@@^“Precious light is to shine forth from the Word of God and let no one presume to dictate what shall or what shall not be brought before the people in the messages of enlightenment that He shall send, and so quench the Spirit of God. Whatever may be his position of authority, no one has a right to shut away the light from the people. When a message comes in the name of the Lord to His people, @9no one@7 may excuse himself from an investigation of its claims. No one can afford to stand back in an attitude of indifference and self-confidence, and say: ‘I know what is truth. I am satisfied with my position. I have set my stakes, and I will not be moved away from my position, whatever may come. I will not listen to the message of this messenger; for I know that it can not be truth.’ It was from pursuing this very course that the popular churches were left in partial darkness, and that is why the messages of heaven have not reached them.” — @9Testimonies on Sabbath School Work@7, p. 65.
Philippians 6:3
@@@^In considering the several scriptures bearing on this point and on the kindred points in question, we must base our conclusions solely on the weight of evidence, so that we may not only know all the truth, but also teach nothing but the truth — a twofold aim which can be achieved only by giving untrammeled consideration both to the writings of the prophets and to those of the Revelator. And since The Revelation is the unfolding of the prophecies, logic constrains us to proceed from prophecy to revelation. In the present connection, therefore, we attend first to the words of Jeremiah:
Philippians 58:1
@@@^The fact that the 144,000 are without guile in their mouths shows that, as servants of God, they have a message to proclaim, and that they are to be found blameless in their proclaiming of it: speaking the truth and nothing but the truth, they shall prosper wherever they go with the message, although they are sent with it
Philippians 74:4
@@@^“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.” 1 Tim. 1:4. “Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.” Tit. 1:14. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Tim. 4:3, 4.
Colossians 39:3
@@@^Going off on such tangents is due to shallow reading and to interpreting the words of others without digging deep enough to find the thought of the original authors. And the main reason that advocates of error stay in their errors is that most of them are determined at any cost to stand by their self-made theories! And that is their main trouble. But we hope and pray that these mistaken brethren will welcome the Truth as contained in the plain, pointed, unglossed, and fundamental facts set forth in these pages, and allow It to lodge in their hearts. Thus only may they be led to walk in the light and to find rest in Him Who is anxious to lead us into all Truth, and Who therefore, sends this
Colossians 40:3
@@@^A flood of religious literature varied and contradictory is coming to me, and I do not know what to make of it all, as one piece is endeavoring to indoctrinate me in one way, and another piece in the opposite way, and still other pieces in still other ways, with the result that should I try at the same time to go all the ways advocated or commanded, I would, so to speak, be running around myself. What hope is there to find one’s way through such a maze of doctrines? On one hand, I fear that if I study into it all, it may cause me to lose sight even of the truth which I now have; and on the other hand, I fear that if I do not study it, I may turn down some precious present truth, and thus lose eternity.
Colossians 46:2
@@@^The questions herein treated reveal that an unseen supernatural force working through human beings, is taking advantage of every possible opportunity to bring in distraction and confusion and to scatter the power of thought and concentration. They show that while one theorist is attempting to confuse one truth, another theorist is attempting to confuse another truth. So it is obvious that the enemy of God and men is determined one way or another to plunge the people into his deep pit. To avert this terrible tragedy, the reader is therefore warned to turn aside from the writings of uninspired men and to take heed only to those who are inspired and unceasingly to watch and study everything that comes in the name of the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 23:3
@@@^Clearly, then, the bowl in which the golden oil is stored, symbolizes the storehouse of Present Truth — the Word interpreted. The only “storehouse” that contains inspired comments on both Testaments is the books of the Spirit of Prophecy. They, therefore, are the “golden bowl.” The symbolism definitely points out that from them the ministers must get the light-producing truth with which to supply the church, so that it may brightly shine in this dark world, drawing to the light “all men” who hate the darkness.
1 Thessalonians 24:3
@@@^This symbolic unit, having demonstrated that the Bible can be rightly interpreted only by the Spirit that dictated It, shows that the church can be led into all Truth only by this Spirit-controlled method: through the interpreters (the two golden pipes), who alone are qualified and inabled to bring forth meat in due season (golden oil) from the Scriptures (olive trees) into the storehouse (golden bowl) of Present Truth; and in turn through the ministers (seven tubes), who alone are to pass on from the bowl the oil to the church (candlestick), that it might illumine with the light of life this dark and dying world of ours.
1 Thessalonians 32:2
@@@^Why stay hungry, my brethren, when there is such a boundless supply of soul-nourishing food at your very hand? If your appetite has not become too jaded, come, then, and feed on this fresh “butter and honey.” “Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.” Isa. 55:1. But if, perchance, you have lost your hunger and your taste for truth, call then upon our dispensing representatives. Their services are free of charge and without obligation, and guarantee sure and gratifying results. Do not be like those who still persist in boasting that they have all the truth, and have “need of nothing.” For the reason that God has sent and is still sending such a store of “meat in due season” is to demonstrate that instead of having “need of nothing,” they have need of everything, and that it is their abominations and spiritual destitution which have caused Him to leave
