【按着正意分解真理的道】
§6
圣经是完全正确的，但是人们因误用圣经而得出了错误的结论。我们是在参加一场大战，在接近最后的决战时，这场战争会变得越来越紧张剧烈。我们有一位警觉的仇敌，不断影响没有亲身经验上帝过去五十年对祂子民教导之人的思想。有些人会把适用于他们时代的真理，放到将来。在预言序列中的一些事件虽已在过去应验了，却被他们说成将来才会应验，因而，有些人的信心就被这些理论破坏了。（《文稿》1896年第31号，第3页，《关于约翰.贝尔弟兄所持预言观点的证言》1896年11月8日）{1MR 195.2}[2]
§7
【To Rightly Divide the Word of Truth】
§8
The Scripture is all true, but by misapplying the Scripture men arrive at wrong conclusions. We are engaged in a mighty conflict, and it will become more close and determined, as we near the final struggle. We have a sleepless adversary, and he is constantly at work upon human minds, who have not had a personal experience in the teachings of the people of God for the last fifty years. Some will take the truth applicable to their time, and place it in the future. Events in the train of prophecy that had their fulfillment away in the past are made future, and thus by these theories the faith of some is undermined. Ms 31, 1896, p. 3. (Testimony Concerning the Views of Prophecy Held by Brother John Bell, November 8, 1896.){1MR 195.2}[2]

【救赎的计划】
§10
上帝希望救赎计划如晚雨临到祂的子民：因为他们正在迅速失去自己与上帝的联系。他们是在倚靠人，荣耀人，且他们的力量与他们所靠赖的力量相当。一些事情一直展现在我面前，不久就要应验。我们要比现在知道的更多。我们要理解上帝深奥的事。有些主题值得仔细思考，不可走马观花。天使也愿意详细察看那向查考上帝的圣言，以痛悔之心祈求智慧，并祈求唯祂能赐更加长阔高深知识之人启示的真理。关于福音，那些被称为伟人的人已写下了成百上千的评注。当我们接近地球历史的最后几幕时，还有更奇妙的见证要作。我们需要以谦卑痛悔的心研究圣经。凡愿意将自己的能力投入到研究上帝的圣言，尤其是有关这些末日预言的人，会得到报赏发现重要的真理。（《文稿》，1899年第75号，第4，5页，无标题文稿，1899年5月11日）{1MR 195.3}[3]
§11
【The Plan of Redemption】
§12
God designs that the plan of redemption shall come to His people as the latter rain: for they are fast losing their connection with God. They are trusting in man, and glorifying man, and their strength is proportionate to the strength of their dependence. Some matters have been opened before me which will be fulfilled ere long. We are to know more than we do at the present time. We are to comprehend the deep things of God. There are themes to be dwelt upon which are worthy of more than a passing notice. Angels have desired to look into the truths which are revealed to the people who are searching Gods Word and with contrite hearts praying for wisdom, for greater lengths and breadths and heights of that knowledge which God alone can give.Hundreds of commentaries have been written upon the gospel by men who are called great, and as we near the closing scenes of this earths history still more wonderful representations will be made. We need to study the Scriptures with humble, contrite hearts. Those who will devote their powers to the study of Gods Word, and especially the prophecies referring to these last days, will be rewarded by the discovery of important truths. Ms 75, 1899, pp. 4, 5. (Untitled Manuscript, May 11, 1899.){1MR 195.3}[3]

你询问我是否会接受你的十分之一，并把它用在上帝事业中最需要的地方。作为答复，我要说，我不会拒绝这么做，但同时我会告诉你还有一个更好的方式。{1MR 196.2}[5]
§16
You ask if I will accept tithe from you and use it in the cause of God where most needed. In reply, I will say that I shall not refuse to do this, but at the same time I will tell you that there is a better way.{1MR 196.2}[5]
§17
信任你所居住之地区会的传道人和你敬拜之处的教会职员要更好。要亲近你的弟兄们。应当存真诚的心，热切地爱他们，并鼓励他们因为敬畏上帝而担负起他们的责任。“总要在言语、行为、爱心、信心、清洁上，都作信徒的榜样”（提前4:12）。（《信函》1911年第96号，第1页，致J.J.格拉韦尔夫人，1911年12月29日）[6]
§18
It is better to put confidence in the ministers of the conference where you live, and in the officers of the church where you worship. Draw nigh to your brethren. Love them with a true heart fervently, and encourage them to bear their responsibilities in the fear of God. Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity (1 Timothy 4:12). Letter 96, 1911, p. 1. (To Mrs. J. J. Gravelle, December 29, 1911.)[6]
