Appendix L 445that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which aresanctified by faith.” Acts 26:18I will close with this powerful quotation on our need for understanding the Wordof God:"We see and feel the importance of each having an understanding of theScriptures. There may be those who will tell us of the things contained in theWord of God, but that will not meet the requirements. We must search theScriptures for ourselves. There are special points that we must understandpertaining to our own time. We are living in an age of error and heresy on everyhand. Christ has told us that 'there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,who shall show great signs and wonders: insomuch that, if it were possible, theyshall deceive the very elect.' Matt. 24:24. These teachers spoken of by Christ willcome in sheep's clothing, and will delude the people with their heresies, and thiswe shall see more and more as we draw nearer the end. Consequently it is of thegreatest necessity that we search the Scriptures for ourselves, and learn theircontents."Our text tells us that we have something sure, and that is the Scriptures that arerevealed to us, and this is the voice of God that is speaking to us. One may comeand say that he has truth, and such teachers will multiply, but we must not taketheir word in the matter. We must go directly to the Word. Feelings should not beour guide. The plain declaration of the Word is what is required. 'All Scripture isgiven by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, forcorrection, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect,thoroughly furnished unto all good works.' 2 Timothy 3:16-17."--Manuscript 43,1886.Praise God for His Word!In Christ’s love,Linda KirkStatement from Brian Kirk: Ernie, I’ve read the above letter, and havingwitnessed or been a participant of a large portion of the conversations, I agreewith its accuracy.
