Chapter six - Vance Ferrell 217read and understand the Bible to please themselves. It is not that thedifficulty is in the Bible. Opposing politicians argue points of law in thestatute book, and take opposite views in their application and in theselaws.SummaryElder Ferrell leads his readers to think that all those who have accepted Ernie’sdreams no longer enjoy reading the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. Ernie hasnever stated that his dreams are more important than reading the Bible andSpirit of Prophecy. Some people who reject Ellen White use the sameargument by saying people read too much of the Spirit of Prophecy and neglectthe Bible.For additional details, see “Dreams took preeminence?” and “Dreams hadsupernatural pull” in chapter 7.ConclusionThe dreams repeatedly stress the importance of learning from God’s previouslyrevealed words. God’s Word never contradicts itself. His communication to manhas been progressive through time, in keeping with “present truth.” That truth isphrased differently because of different writers at different times or new detailsmay be added. However, that does not mean God’s laws or principles arealtered in any way.Can we not see that this world is in desperate need of direct communicationfrom God again? Can we not see that God’s last-day church is in a crisis withthe omega of apostasy that reveals we are in the very last days and, therefore,God is intervening? “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs29:18). Yes, the messenger is fallible, but the messages are not. That is whythey cannot be disproved, because they are from God. They are messages ofcomfort, encouragement and affirmation, instruction, rebuke, and love. Thedreams reinforce the core Seventh-day Adventist beliefs repeatedly (seeAppendix F, “Doctrines in Ernie Knoll’s Dreams”). The primary message is torepent and prepare for Christ’s imminent return. In addition, would a Christianwho truly loves Jesus not want to hear that message repeatedly? They aremessages for all who will look, listen, obey, and live--forever!God’s people are starving to be fed the “meat” of the Word, to be shown the“old paths.” The messages in our churches are being “watered down” and themembers are “coming in the front door and walking out the back door,” becausethey are beginning to see in God’s Church what they left behind in the world.“An enemy hath done this” (Matthew 13:28).Ernie’s ministry continues toreceive phone calls, emails, and letters from desperate people, searching fortruth and answers, because they are not getting it from their church or pastor.Even the young people are searching. Entertainment and amusement will notsave them!Appeal to Linda, Elder Ferrell and allPlease do not let the enemy—Satan and self—win in your case. God can onlyuse and save a people who are humbled and have repented of all their sins,present and past, even forgotten sins. Have you done this, before it is forevertoo late? We must be on our knees, searching our hearts as never before. Wemay think we are spiritually safe yet be completely deceived and lost.
