42the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTHRodríguez casts doubtRodríguez says: (see Appendix E)“He was a local church elder and supposedly has identified himself asan ordained pastor.”FactErnie Knoll has never claimed to be an ordained pastor of the Seventh-dayAdventist Church. Therefore, what Elder Rodríguez stated is untrue. God,however, sees it differently. Following are two excerpts from Ernie’s dreams.The Work Now Begins, December 14, 2007As for me not having a broad understanding of the Bible and Spirit ofProphecy, the Herald says that I have a broader understanding than Imight know and that because I am not ordained of man does not mean Iam not ordained of God.In His Time, July 12, 2008Jesus turns to me and says, “Man ordains man to serve on My behalfbut I have called you personally to serve on My behalf.There is a psychological technique frequently used by attorneys to get a jury tomake a decision favorable to their client when hard evidence doesn’t supporttheir viewpoint.

This spiritwill not always be manifested in an open defiance of the messages thatGod sends, but a settled unbelief is expressed in many ways. Every falsestatement that is made feeds and strengthens this unbelief, and throughthis means many souls will be balanced in the wrong direction.Our High Calling, p. 359Our gracious Redeemer looked down the stream of time, and beheldthe perils that would in the last days surround His chosen. . . .
