@@@^Then will the influence of the truth “testify” to the world of its sanctifying, ennobling character. (“Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 18.) Then the church will appear “fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners,” going forth “into all the world, conquering and to conquer.”—“Prophets and Kings,” p. 725.
Matthew 10:2
@@@^In this observation, Brother J, I believe you have stated the true cause of your trouble. But had I gathered from all Present Truth believers their ideas concerning the interpretations of any Bible subject found in the writings of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” I would have about as many ideas as there are individuals. And what would appear reasonable to one, would appear wholly unreasonable to another. Yet you recommend such a procedure to bring unity! Furthermore, had I gathered my information from men, and then written the books and tracts, would you then accept as inspired from God that which they contain?
Matthew 12:6
@@@^I know where “the judgment of the dead” applies, but had I stated the whole truth, it would not have pleased you at all. However, since you have raised the question, I must tell it now. The judgment of the dead, as referred to in “Early Writings,” applies to as many judgments of the dead as there are, for the statement does not specify any particular judgment, or distinguish one from another. Therefore, it first applies from 1844 to the time of the judgment of the “living,” and second, during the millennium, for there is a judgment of the “dead” in both periods.
Matthew 13:1
@@@^After you critically studied, and accepted “The Shepherd’s Rod” as a message from God to you, had you then just as critically examined your standing on God’s side, and continued studying the publications with the intention of finding more truth rather than of seeing how much you might contradict, you would not have arrived at the place where even the simple points must again be explained to you.
Matthew 14:1
@@@^Anyone who would interpret Ezekiel 37:16-28 to mean that the gathering together of the tribes of Israel and the joining of them in one kingdom, as revealed in these verses, is the resurrection of the dead, as you think, must have lost nearly all his spiritual discernment. Did not the Lord, in these verses, say to Ezekiel: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen,” not from their graves? Ezek. 37:21. Is He to multiply the dead instead of the living? Or shall the heathen, after the resurrection “know that . . . the Lord” has sanctified Israel? (Ezek. 37:26, 28.) You are accusing me of not having authority to interpret this chapter as it is found in our Tract No. 8, yet at the same time, your interpretation does not carry the authority, nor even good logic. This proves to me that you are trying your best to run away from the truth, without respect to yourself, to God, or to man..
Matthew 14:2
@@@^In your letter, you have quoted pages of references in an endeavor to make yourself believe by cumulative implications that Christ will have no literal kingdom before the close of probation, but you deny the statements which plainly say that He will have a literal kingdom! Why do you, in an endeavor to run away from the truth, resort to words which seem to imply the contrary? Why base your opinion on passages which you do not understand, in preference to the following citations which do not imply, but definitely say:
Mark 2:1
@@@^Believing that all Present Truth believers would joyfully welcome from Mt. Carmel a report of the progress that she is making, we are therefore, in this issue, bringing to Code readers a composite view of several of the buildings and projects, with some of the scenery.
Mark 8:1
@@@^And now our readers may imagine that they are sitting down in this office building with us, while they are studying the remaining pages of this Code, and while we are writing a few words of encouragement to the troubled ones, answering doctrinal questions @8@^[@9Picture of building No. 8@7]@8@0for souls hungering for truth, wrapping literature for mailing to those who want to investigate the message for themselves, and to those who wish to pass it on to others; perhaps preparing material for the next issue of the Code, and a manuscript for a tract, and attending to almost countless other matters which demand attention during the day.
Mark 8:2
@@@^Having viewed Mt. Carmel’s improvements, we feel sure that Present Truth believers will also greatly appreciate a financial report. We are therefore setting forth the following comparative tithe and offering report, also a Balance Sheet for the years 1930, 1935, 1936, and 1939. @8@2REPORT OF TITHE AND OFFERINGS RECEIPTS
Mark 9:1
@@@^That the assets, both fixed and current, exceed by several thousands of dollars the amount received from Present Truth believers since the Message began to come in January, 1929, may be seen from both the foregoing Balance sheet and the tithe and offering report.
Mark 10:2
@@@^Nevertheless, the Balance Sheet shows that while the brethren in the field have faithfully supported the work of spreading the message, Mt. Carmel has, by her strict economy and by the hard work of her faithful crew, been doing fully as much. For the sixty-five thousand dollars which the brethren have given, Mt. Carmel’s personnel and her field workers present, in addition to a large number of Present Truth believers, an institution the net worth of which is over seventy-one thousand dollars.
Mark 10:5
@@@^And now as the institution is equipped to care for the Gospel work, we are asking all Present Truth believers to engage themselves heart and soul with us in the spreading of the message, and to scatter our literature far and wide until it shall have reached every member in the denomination. Then 144,000 strong, shall we stand with the Lamb on Mt. Zion
Mark 12:2
@@@^These examples teach that every individual should determine to know and to practice the truth without the influence of another if he wishes to escape the enemy’s webs that invisibly line the path of his feet. Know your own case if you want to win the crown of eternal life, which is your most precious jewel, and which is the one that you are in the greatest danger of having stolen away by the enemy of your soul.
Mark 14:2
@@@^I came into the Adventist truth in 1929, and was engaged in colporteur work in Hawaii when this wonderful message came to me. For some unknown reason, I had never heard of it until a dear sister in Honolulu brought it to me on a Sabbath afternoon in July, 1939, when I heard a voice say to me, This is the True Witness to the Laodiceans. Great was my surprise to learn that we had had a reform message in our church for ten years. I believe the Lord brought me into contact with “The Shepherd’s Rod” because I had been praying that He would send a message to purify me and the church. In six weeks time after I had begun to study “The Shepherd’s Rod” I was sailing for Mt. Carmel.
Mark 14:4
@@@^Though in my work, God has many times spoken to me, saying, Go here or go there, He has never spoken more plainly than when He said, This is the truth, Walk ye in it. Inexpressibly happy as I am that I obeyed, my great concern and hope now is that my example may be such as to encourage all who have heard His Voice saying, “This is the way walk ye in it” quickly to follow Him and that I may be a channel of light to those who are yet in darkness concerning the call of the hour.
Mark 15:9
@@@^“Our doctrines may be correct; we may hate false doctrine; and may not receive those who are not true to principle; we may labor with untiring energy; but even this is not sufficient. . . . A belief in the theory of the truth is not enough; to present this theory to unbelievers does not constitute you a witness for Christ.”—“Review and Herald,” Feb. 3, 1891; “Christ Our Righteousness,” pp. 98, 99.
Mark 16:1
@@@^This little paper is dedicated to the mission of conveying, to Present Truth believers, edifying news items and reformatory activities, and of answering questions on the sealing message of the 144,000 (Rev. 7:1-8) and the great multitude (Rev. 7:9); on the prophecies of Isaiah, Zechariah, Zephaniah, Micah, Hosea, Joel, Daniel, the Revelation, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, etc., but especially on the first eight books above mentioned; on Christ’s parables, on types and symbols, also on the writings of Mrs. E. G. White.
Mark 16:2
@@@^However, this monthly visitor promises to answer questions, on such passages of Scripture only as have been divinely revealed and authoritatively proclaimed—bearing the positive mark of truth. Therefore, it will either give a correct answer to the questions, or else confess its ignorance by saying, “I do not know.”
Luke 8:2
@@@^The very fact that when the pagans accepted Christianity, the Spirit of Truth “elevated to the Christian sense” these misused titles of the Deity, He demonstrated thereby that God created nothing in vain, and that there are no other gods before Him. Now therefore those titles, instead of becoming anathema to us, should have a better standing than before, as the Prodigal had after his return to his father’s house.
Luke 12:1
@@@^All present truth believers should now see the necessity of shunning every wind of doctrine regardless how plausible or reasonable it might appear to be. Remember the words: “Behold, those that go toward the north country have quieted My Spirit in the north country.” (See p. 27 of Tract No. 2, @9The Warning Paradox@7, — Zech. 6:1-8.) Get your doctrine, Brother, Sister, only from the golden bowl (see @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7, Vol. 2), and be not like the waves of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed — be not carried about by the many winds of doctrine that are blowing wildly from every direction to cause you to lose your way to the everlasting kingdom.
