202the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTHof truth. To hold yourselves aloof from an investigation of truth is not theway to carry out the Saviour's injunction to "search the Scriptures." Is itdigging for hidden treasures to call the result's of some one's labor a massof rubbish, and make no critical examination to see whether or not thereare precious jewels of truth in the collection of thought which youcondemn? Will those who have almost everything to learn keepthemselves away from every meeting where there is an opportunity toinvestigate the messages that come to the people, simply because theyimagine the views held by the teachers of the truth may be out ofharmony with what they have conceived as truth? Thus it was that theJews 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, because there was in theman evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. No one ofthose who imagine that they know it all is too old or too intelligent tolearn from the humblest of the messengers of the living God.Manuscript Releases, Vol. 20, p. 245Many obtain a surface knowledge of truth or Bible doctrine, and thenstop, thinking they know it all. But do they know it all? No; no; God'sword is, Go forward, looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher ofyour faith.For additional details, see “Dreams confusing?” in chapter 7.No religious contacts?Ferrell says: (see Appendix K)“No religious contacts of any kind—Linda also learned that Ernie hasalmost no religious contacts, shares no literature, or does anything to helpand bless others where he is. He just stays to himself; has dreams; and,we will learn later, is either elated or worries.”For additional details, see sections “Researching about Ernie” and “Outreachendeavors” in chapter 7.We are not sure from where Elder Ferrell gathered his “elated or worries”scenario. However, being elated or worried reminds us of other prophets, aswell as every other human being that has lived on this planet.Unfulfilled predictions?Ferrell says: (see Appendix K)“Predictions that did not come true—Although not major ones, yetnone of these ever occurred. One concerned a person who would contactErnie. The angel said Linda would be one of five people who wouldverify when it happened.“But nothing ever happened. Mention is made later in her letter ofpredictions about Shawn Boonstra and Doug Batchelor, which also didnot occur.”FactErnie was not told how long it would take for these predictions to occur.Therefore the predictions have not yet failed.
