@@@^History shows on the one hand that those who are standing on the side of wrong are fearful of and even scornful toward any literature that claims to carry more light than what they already have. Only those who are wrong and who can give no answer to the advancing Truth, get angry with its advocates, refuse to look into it, and become exceedingly careful to destroy it because they do not wish to accept it, or permit anyone else to come in contact with it. While on the other hand, those who are on the side of right are never troubled by coming in contact with anything, even if it be error. And, whether or not they accept its teachings, they are conscience-free, not fearful, to pass the literature on to others for them to read for themselves if they wish, just as staunch Seventh-day Sabbath believers, themselves, are never fearful of coming in contact, or of having others come in contact, with the Sunday doctrine. Only those who are right are glad and “ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh [them] a reason of the hope that is in [them] with meekness and fear.” I Pet. 3:15.
Romans 7:5
@@@^The reading of @9Tract No. 7@7 brought conviction to me that the message is the truth and not error. My husband’s former interest in the symbolisms of the Old Testament riveted his attention to the message as he saw it unfolding their mysteries. @3A. R.
Romans 7:6
@@@^A certain believer kept on after me and would not let me alone. I thought he was crazy, but finally I decided to listen to his doctrine. Now I am about as crazy as he is over the Truth. The message is rich, and God is good to me to give me the promise of never dying. This certain believer and I were baptized into the S. D.A. church together, and now we hope to be in the kingdom together. @3J. C.
Romans 7:11
@@@^The Spirit of the S. D. A.’s in my home, when some @9Shepherd’s Rod@7 believers came into the house, convinced me that something was radically wrong. They refused to meet the @9Shepherd’s Rod@7 brethren. I was then aroused to see and hear both sides, and as a result I found that the @9Rod@7 has pure Bible truth that cannot be contradicted. @3P. S.
Romans 9:8
@@@^For sometime I have been thinking of writing you in regard to the tracts I have received from you. At first I did not understand them, and did not study them deeply as we had been warned against them. But when I received the tract, @9Hear Both Sides of the Controversy@7, I read it through, then went back to the other tracts and really studied them, and the Lord opened my eyes, and things are quite clear to me. I am an earnest seeker for Truth. I have so often wondered about Sister White’s statement that there would be a great reformatory movement among God’s people, a revival of primitive godliness. I long to see this revival among God’s people, for truly we are in a lukewarm condition. I long to have it in my own life, for things seem so different from when I first accepted this message sixteen years ago. Will be glad to receive more tracts, especially @9The Harvest@7. @3R. J. F.
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 10:12
@@@^I am not unmindful of the papal methods that often seem to underlie the opposition of our brethren who in their blindness either ignore or repudiate truth that has been discovered by others. I, too, have felt the weight of such opposition, but I have withstood their zeal, and still retain membership in a church which I myself helped to build up, and which I served during my active ministry, and when engaged in missionary work here and in Mexico, as well as while serving as general secretary of the———Religious Liberty Association. So if, you will send me the tracts you mention, and any other material, from which I may gauge your leadership, I shall be very glad to give them my attention. If I find your attitude Scriptural, I shall be glad to send you the addresses of others. @3J. B.
Romans 11:3
@@@^If you have light and truth for me, I want it. Just the other day a sister received a letter from a conference Bible worker in which she said, “The@9 Rod@7 doctrines contain so little error, that it is hard to detect it.” I wonder how much study she has put on it. It is difficult to think in an entirely different line from what we have been used to, but I am slowly seeing things differently.
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 15:6
@@@^Tracing the history of God’s church down through the ages, we find that if all had taken the same position as the questioner, the advancing Truth would never have reached the church. If God’s messengers in different periods had failed to agitate their messages in their own churches, how, then, would the various reformatory messages have reached His people? Is He not more interested in them than He is in the heathen? John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles, all sacrificed their lives in order to take their messages to their own church. Why, then, should not the @9Rod@7 believers do likewise?
Romans 16:2
@@@^Beware of being defrauded of means as has already unfortunately occurred with some brethren by certain ones masking as teachers of Present Truth. Before entrusting anything to unaccredited persons, correspond with this Office to ascertain their standing.
1 Corinthians 6:2
@@@^By following in this course, they have been led so far in perverting the gifts that their so-called gift of tongues is naught but gibberish, and is no more the Biblical gift than is Sunday the “sanctified” Sabbath day! Perverted also is the gift of governments, which is degenerated into an institution of prerogatives, formalities, goals, and the like, which, were they ever beneficial devices, are certainly, in their present low estate, nothing but agencies which in effect militate against the Truth, and neutralize the piety of the church. In this state of affairs, do the best of these professed Christians of today seem better than the worst of yesterday’s Jews? Wherefore, O church of God, “Awake, awake”! “Quench not the Spirit. @9Despise not prophesyings@7. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thess. 5:19, 21. “Loose thyself from the [man-wrought] bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.” Isa. 52:2.
1 Corinthians 10:1
@@@^Being composed of brass, the two mountains can never, in even the smallest part, be carried away by wind or flood. Matter not what betide them, they stand immovable. And as they are symbols of God’s holy church (as seen from the scripture: “Thus saith the Lord; . . . @9Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth@7; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the @9holy mountain@7” — Zech.8:3), they must therefore represent her at a time when she is able to withstand the storm — when she is a clean and fit place for the dwelling of His Holy Presence which, as the mountains denote, is to His saints a mighty fortress and “an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.” Isa.32:2. But “he that worketh deceit,” says the Lord “shall not dwell @9within My house@7: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in My sight.” Ps. 101:7.
1 Corinthians 12:2
@@@^Never has this symbolical prophecy been understood by any people; and never @9could it have been fulfilled and not been revealed@7 (for then would its truth have been @9unavailable to the people in the past@7 and but half efficacious to us now). Necessarily, then, its fulfillment is yet future, sometime in the latter part of the Christian era.
1 Corinthians 15:3
@@@^“Clad in complete armor of light and righteousness, she enters upon her final conflict. The dross, the worthless material, will be consumed, and the influence of the truth testifies to the world of its sanctifying, ennobling character.” — @9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 17.
1 Corinthians 17:1
@@@^Is there any comparison between the church described in The Acts and the one at the present time? Where is the power of the Holy Ghost in the church today? In the early church everyone was filled with It! Where do we read of the apostles’ ever trying to raise financial goals? But how often do we hear that many of those who are brought into the church today, go out. And how few of those who remain are really converted to the Truth. Why such woeful waste, such pitiful loss? And why so many tares choking up the wheat? Jesus says: “@9While men slept,@7 his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” Matt. 13:25. Why? — obviously because the watchmen on the walls of Zion are asleep. (See @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 235.)
1 Corinthians 19:1
@@@^“The Lord will work to purify His church. I tell you in truth, the Lord is about to turn and overturn in the institutions called by His name. Just how soon this refining process will begin, I can not say, but it will not be long deferred. He whose fan is in His hand will cleanse His temple of its moral defilement. He will thoroughly purge His floor.” — Testimonies to Ministers, page 373.
1 Corinthians 24:2
@@@^The truth having been solidly established that the early Christian church is symbolized by one of the “brass mountains,” and the church that closes the gospel work, by the other, then it follows as a logical sequence that the valley between, from which come the four chariots, must be symbolical of the period from the one church to the other. The next symbolism, then, to be considered is
