§2 A Group of Ellen G. White Statements Made in 1905, 1906, and 1907 Regarding Elder A. F. Ballenger’s Teachings
§3 我过了一点钟就睡不着了。我起来写出一些已经印在我心上的事。不久前我在我们有房间的那栋楼房的大厅里见到了巴伦杰长老。我在跟他说话的时候，心中活现出这个人就是我曾在异象中见到的那个人，他在一次集会上将某些题目带到与会者面前，并将一些经文曲解为不能被维持为真理的东西。他将大量经文罗列在一起，他对这些经文的断言和误用会蛊惑人心，因为他的应用是误导人的，与他声称证明他的立场是正确的主题根本没有关系。任何一个人都能这么做，且会效法他的榜样，去证明一个错误的立场：但这却是他自己的立场。我对他说：你就是主在萨拉曼卡在异象中显给我看的那个人，你与一批人站在一起，他们在极力主张要是在《哨兵》中略去安息日真理，那份期刊的销量就会大增。你是那个哭泣并承认了自己的错误的人，我们在那个清早的聚会上享有圣灵的能力。{MR760 2.1}[1]
§4 I am not able to sleep past one o’clock. I was aroused to write out some things that have been impressed on my mind. Not long ago I met Elder Ballenger in the hall of the building in which we have rooms. As I spoke to him, it came vividly to my mind that this was the man whom I had seen in an assembly bringing before those present certain subjects, and placing upon passages in the Word of God a construction that could not be maintained as truth. He was gathering together a mass of scriptures such as would confuse minds because of his assertions and his misapplication of these scriptures, for the application was misleading and had not the bearing upon the subject at all which he claimed justified his position. Anyone can do this, and will follow his example to testify to a false position: but it was his own. I said to him, You are the one whom the Lord presented before me in Salamanca, as standing with a party who were urging that if the Sabbath truth were left out of the?Sentinel, the circulation of that paper would be largely increased. You were the one that wept and confessed your mistakes, and we had the power of the Holy Spirit in that early morning meeting.?{MR760 2.1}[1]
§5 我已经病得很重，可是还设法向人们讲了话，主也大大加强了我。我不知道我的话。主确实藉着我讲了话。我上次讲完之后，我的痛苦如此剧烈，以致几乎难以忍受。{MR760 2.2}[2]
§6 I had been very sick, and yet had tried to speak to the people, and the Lord had strengthened me greatly. I had not knowledge of my words. The Lord spoke indeed through me. After I had given my last talk, my sufferings were so severe as to become almost unendurable.?{MR760 2.2}[2]
§7 一系列的约定要我从萨拉曼卡去巴特尔克里克。我似乎不可能履行这些约定。我去了我的房间屈膝祈祷。在房间被上帝的荣耀照亮，一些场景在我面前经过之前，我没能说出一句祈祷的话。我看到一次在巴特尔克里克一个房间里的集会，一个人站起来，举起《哨兵》，说：“安息日问题必须从这份期刊删去；于是销量就会大增，真理就会来到成千上万的人面前。”{MR760 2.3}[3]
§8 A list of appointments had been sent out for me to fill on my way from Salamanca to Battle Creek. It seemed impossible for me to fill these appointments. I went to my room and bowed in prayer. I had not been able to utter a word of prayer before the room was lighted up with the glory of God and scenes passed before me. I saw an assembly in a room in Battle Creek, and one standing up held up the?Sentinel?and said, “The Sabbath question must be cut out of this paper; then the circulation will be largely increased and the truth will come before thousands.”?{MR760 2.3}[3]
§9 有权威的一位上前来严肃地说：“你要卷起律法书，在我门徒中间封住训诲”（赛8:16）。然后明确、坚定、尖锐的督责就来了：“安息日的真理应该得到传扬。它是适合这些末后日子的真理。”祂非常严肃地重述了出埃及31:12-18中的话。{MR760 2.4}[4]
§10 One of authority came forward and said solemnly, “Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.” Then came the reproof, decided, firm, and cutting: “The Sabbath truth is to be proclaimed. It is the truth for these last days.” The words found in?Exodus 31:12-18?were repeated with great solemnity.?{MR760 2.4}[4]
§11 我现在不能重述与那次聚会有关的一切的事，但我知道没有采取曾预期采取的那些步骤。上帝的灵运行在那次聚会上。{MR760 2.5}[5]
§12 I cannot now repeat all the things connected with the meeting, but I know that the steps which had been anticipated were not taken. The working of the Spirit of God was in that meeting.?{MR760 2.5}[5]
§13 那天晚上对我来说极其严肃。我心中想起了我们自从1844年的定期过去之后一直在传扬的真理，那时信息临到我们，论到我们遵守七日的第一日所犯的错误。我们有圣经的证据和主的灵的见证表明我们当时是在遵守一个并不具有神圣不可侵犯性的日子，而且我们这么做就是在违背上帝的律法。从那时到现在我们一直传了这个信息；我严肃地问道：我们的人现在难道要从《哨兵》删掉安息日的信息，听从属世之人的建议和忠告，使《哨兵》不将这个最重要的真理传达给世界吗？{MR760 3.1}[6]
§14 That night was a most solemn one for me. There came to my mind the truth that we have been proclaiming since the passing of the time in 1844, when the message came to us regarding the mistake we were making in keeping the first day of the week. We had Bible evidence and the testimony of the Spirit of the Lord that we were keeping a day that bore no sanctity, and that in so doing we were transgressing the law of God. This message we have borne ever since; and I solemnly asked, Are our people now to cut out the Sabbath message from the?Sentinel?and heed the advice and counsel of worldly men, keeping the?Sentinel?from carrying this most important truth to the world??{MR760 3.1}[6]
§15 那天晚上我没怎么睡。第二天早上我们启程去了华盛顿。后来我病得很重，据认为撒拉和我最好返回巴特尔克里克，不参加我的旅程计划的聚会。{MR760 3.2}[7]
§16 I could not sleep much that night. The next morning we started for Washington. I was taken very ill, and it was thought best for Sara and me to return to Battle Creek and not attend the meetings that were laid out for me on my journey.?{MR760 3.2}[7]
§17 我到达巴特尔克里克的时候，得知我们主要的弟兄们在祷告中祈求主派我直接回到巴特尔克里克。当时在帐幕礼拜堂的不同房间正举行着聚会。一天早上我在天亮前就醒了。好像是一个声音对我说：去参加早上的聚会。我起身穿好衣服，步行穿过公路去聚会。当我进入房间的时候，弟兄们正在祈祷。我与其余的那些人一起祷告，非常恳切地祷告。主的灵在聚会中，我的心灵被深深打动。祷告时辰结束之后，我起身用上帝的灵和能力作一个明确的见证，叙述了我在萨拉曼卡的经历，告诉他们主已在夜间的异象中向我显明的事。{MR760 3.3}[8]
§18 When I arrived at Battle Creek, I learned that our leading brethren had asked the Lord in prayer to send me direct to Battle Creek. Meetings were being held in the various rooms of the Tabernacle. One morning I was awakened before daylight. It was as if a voice spoke to me, Attend the morning meeting. I arose and dressed, and walked across the road to the meeting. As I went into the room, the brethren were in prayer. I united my prayer with those of the rest, praying with great earnestness. The Spirit of the Lord was in the meeting and my soul was deeply stirred. After the season of prayer, I arose to speak and bore a decided testimony with the Spirit and power of God, relating my experience in Salamanca and telling them what the Lord had revealed to me in the vision of the night.?{MR760 3.3}[8]
§19 我作了明确的见证之后，巴伦杰弟兄站起来，完全心碎而哭泣，说：“我接受这个见证是来自主的。我昨天晚上参加了那次聚会，我站在错误的一边了。”{MR760 3.4}[9]
§20 After I had borne a decided testimony, Brother Ballenger arose, all brokenhearted and weeping, and said, “I receive this testimony as from the Lord. I was in that meeting last night, and?I was on the wrong side.”?{MR760 3.4}[9]
§21 令我惊讶的是得知我在萨拉曼卡得到的亮光竟然是这次聚会召开之前一段时间赐给我的。主为我预备了道路返回巴特尔克里克，并在清早的聚会上传达我的信息，正好在那晚的聚会之后。我曾蒙指示看见会采取一些步骤，让《哨兵》不再大胆讲论耶和华的真安息日的问题。这种情况使得人不可能有借口说：“有人告诉她了。”没有一个人有机会在那晚的聚会和我参加的清早的聚会之间去看我或对我讲话。{MR760 3.5}[10]
§22 What was my surprise to learn that the light I had in Salamanca was given me some time before this meeting was held. The Lord had prepared the way for me to return to Battle Creek and bear my message in the early morning meeting, directly after the evening meeting. I had been shown that steps would be taken to have the?Sentinel?no longer speak boldly upon the question of the true Sabbath of the Lord. The circumstances were such that on this occasion the excuse could not possibly be used, “Somebody has told?her.” No one had an opportunity to see me or speak with me between the evening meeting and the morning meeting that I attended.?{MR760 3.5}[10]
§23 我传达了主所赐给我的信息，一些人以忧伤痛悔的心认了罪。{MR760 4.1}[11]
§24 I bore the message that the Lord gave me, and some made confessions with broken hearts and contrite spirits.?{MR760 4.1}[11]
§25 而今我们的巴伦杰弟兄又在介绍上帝的道不能支持的理论。这会成为临到我们的人的一大弊害，对圣经断章取义，曲解经文去证实谬论，与上帝在过去的半个世纪一直在赐给我们的亮光和见证相抵触。我奉主的名宣布，最危险的异端正设法在我们这班人中间找到入口，巴伦杰长老是在糟蹋自己的灵魂。主已加给我力量，让我经过华盛顿的长途旅行到这次聚会作我的见证，证实圣经的真理和圣灵在确认圣经真理时的表现。这道是确定和坚定的，且会经得起考验。人的调查会被引进来，但耶和华活着，祂必使这些发明化为乌有。我们应当以不变的坚定断然传扬圣经的全备真理。在巴伦杰长老和那些与他结交之人正在介绍的对经文的解释中没有真理。经文是对的，但却被错误地用来维护谬论。我们切不可支持他的推理。他不是蒙上帝带领的。我们的工作是要卷起上帝所赐的证言，并在祂门徒中间封住训诲（赛8:16）。{MR760 4.2}[12]
§26 And now again our Brother Ballenger is presenting theories that cannot be substantiated by the Word of God. It will be one of the great evils that will come to our people to have the Scriptures taken out of their true place and so interpreted as to substantiate error that contradicts the light and the testimonies that God has been giving us for the past half century. I declare in the name of the Lord that the most dangerous heresies are seeking to find entrance among us as a people, and Elder Ballenger is making spoil of his own soul. The Lord has strengthened me to come the long journey to Washington to this meeting to bear my testimony in vindication of the truth of God’s Word and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in confirmation of Bible truth. The word is sure and steadfast, and will stand the test. Human investigations will be brought in, but the Lord lives and He will bring to naught these inventions. We are to proclaim the full truth of the Word of God with decision and unalterable firmness. There is not truth in the explanations of Scripture that Elder Ballenger and those associated with him are presenting. The words are right but misapplied to vindicate error. We must not give countenance to his reasoning. He is not led of God. Our work is to bind up the Testimonies God has given and seal the law among His disciples.?{MR760 4.2}[12]
§27 用在编造没有圣经支持的理论去维护这种谬论上的时间比浪费了还糟糕。我蒙指示要对巴伦杰长老说：你那些有大量美好的线且需要那么多解释的理论并不是真理，不应该被带给上帝的羊群。你和你的同事们在这次的聚会上原能领受的善，你们没有领受。上帝禁止你的行径——按你的方式将有福的经文分组，去证实谎言的建造。{MR760 4.3}[13]
§28 The time is worse than lost in spinning out theories that are not sustained in the Bible to vindicate such errors. I am instructed to say to Elder Ballenger, Your theories, which have multitudes of fine threads and need so many explanations, are not truth, and are not to be brought to the flock of God. The good that you and your associates might have received at this meeting, you have not received. God forbids your course of action—making the blessed Scriptures, by grouping them in your way, to testify to build up a falsehood.?{MR760 4.3}[13]
§29 让我们都坚持既定的圣所真理吧。那些如此短视以致会开始从事别的一些人一直在从事的提倡《活殿》中含有的观点的人，是在招魂术的邪恶经验中离开永生的上帝，那些经验不会给接受它们的人带来任何益处。他们是在离开真道，设法拆毁真理的根基。圣所问题的真理原是由一直在圣灵引导之下的人们提出的，已经对这些真理失去把握的人最好多祷告，少谈论。我奉主的名证实巴伦杰长老是被撒但的爪牙和招魂术不可见的领袖们引导的。那些有圣灵引导的人会厌恶这些引诱人的邪灵。（《文稿》1905年59号，“《哨兵》中的安息日真理，和巴伦杰长老的观点，”1905年5月20日）{MR760 4.4}[14]
§30 Let us all cling to the established truth of the sanctuary. Those who are so shortsighted that they will begin to do the work that some others have been doing in advocating the sentiments contained in?Living Temple, are departing from the living God in spiritualistic, satanic experiences that?will not do the souls who receive them any good. They are departing from the faith, seeking to tear down the foundation of truth. The men who have lost their hold on the truths of the sanctuary question as they have been presented by men who have been under the Holy Spirit’s guidance, had better pray more and talk less. I testify in the name of the Lord that Elder Ballenger is led by satanic agencies and spiritualistic, invisible leaders. Those who have the guidance of the Holy Spirit will turn away from these seducing spirits.—Manuscript 59, 1905. (“The Sabbath Truth in the Sentinel, and Elder Ballenger’s Views,” May 20, 1905.)?{MR760 4.4}[14]
§31 凡希望得到天国的人都必须效法主的榜样，祂舍命拯救背道的人类，赎回男男女女脱离永死。如果医疗布道工人们愿意在真理的平台上与那些在上帝的圣工中负责的人联合，他们就会高兴地受到欢迎。然而除了主已立好的平台，我们不能在别的平台上与他们联合。我们决不能在其它任何根基上与他们联合。根基已经立定，凡愿意采取立场站在这个平台上，全心全意与主的百姓联合的人，必欢喜快乐地受到欢迎。但我们不能与那些选择采取立场站在别的根基上的人联合。{MR760 5.1}[15]
§32 All who would gain heaven must follow the example of Him who gave His life to save an apostate race, to ransom men and women from eternal death. If the medical missionary workers will unite on the platform of truth with those who are carrying responsibilities in the cause of God, they will be gladly welcomed. But on no other platform than that which the Lord has laid can we unite with them. Never could we combine on any other basis. The foundation has been laid and all who will take their stand upon this platform, uniting wholeheartedly with the Lord’s people, will be made welcome with rejoicing. But we cannot unite with those who choose to take their stand upon another foundation.?{MR760 5.1}[15]
§33 他们还在继续这么做的时候，谈和睦是没有用的，因为和睦绝不能存在。上帝禁止这样。那些继续与主所交给我们的原则作战的人应当有明确的改变。真理就是真理，公义就是公义。对那些已经在原则上与真信徒分离，选择偏行己路的人，有话说：“你们要心意更新而变化。”应当有团结，但要在正确的根基上。上帝所赐的证言不能被取消，它们坚守着永生上帝的道。{MR760 5.2}[16]
§34 There is no use in talking of harmony while they continue to do this, for harmony could never exist. God forbids it. There is to be a decided change in those who have kept up their warfare against the principles delivered to us by the Lord. Truth is truth, and righteousness is righteousness. To those who have separated in principle from true believers, choosing their own course, the word is spoken, “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” There is to be unity, but it is to be on the right basis. The testimonies that God has given cannot be disannulled. They stand fast in conformity to the word of the living God.?{MR760 5.2}[16]
§35 那些在永恒真理的根基上联合起来的人会兴旺成功。然而在上帝的子民和那些选择遵循过去几年一些人一直在遵循的行动方针的人之间不能有任何联合。上帝要求一种不同的表现。{MR760 5.3}[17]
§36 Those who unite on the basis of eternal truth will be prospered. But there can be no union between God’s people and those who choose to follow the same course of action that some have been following during the past few years. The Lord demands a different showing.?{MR760 5.3}[17]
§37 一些人会离弃真道，听从引诱人的邪灵。我蒙指示看见这些邪灵行事的方式，我奉命要对那些正在离弃真道的人说，他们是在将属灵的欺骗付诸行动，这种属灵的欺骗是我们在我们经验的不同时期曾不得不对付过的。我们无法与那些怀有上帝仇敌的精神和情绪的人和睦。{MR760 6.1}[18]
§38 Some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits. I have been shown the way in which these spirits work, and I have been commissioned to say to those who are departing from the faith that they are acting out the same spiritual deception that we have had to meet at various times during our experience. We cannot harmonize with those who cherish the spirit and sentiments of the enemy of God.?{MR760 6.1}[18]
§39 人类发明的任何科学都无法找到上帝。在这个问题上沉默就是雄辩。那些企图研究人的科学、远离上帝的道的人，必受曾在伊甸园中使我们的始祖堕落的那一位教导。有多少人成了人类科学的牺牲品，转而成了骗子。这种人会有生灵的血在他们的衣服上。那些行出了对立与背道的人生观的人，必按照他们的行为受到判决。{MR760 6.2}[19]
§40 No science of human invention can find out God. On this subject silence is eloquence. Those who attempt to study human science apart from the Word of God will be taught by him who in the garden of Eden caused the fall of our first parents. Oh, how many there are who fall victims to human science and in their turn become deceivers. Such ones will have the blood of souls upon their garments. Upon those who have worked out the philosophy of antagonism and apostasy will be pronounced sentence according to their deeds.?{MR760 6.2}[19]
§41 基督取了人性，来到我们的世界要代表和确立真理。那些离开为主的赎民修筑的道路的人必倒在撒但骗人的推理之下。他成了他们的领袖，他们便在他的指导之下寻找科学难题和错误观点。我蒙指示要说，那些给仇敌欺骗的、含沙射影的观点留地步的人有祸了。他们不再是安全的领袖，他们也没有意识到自己在被领到何处。一个人拒绝承认自己的错误，反而设法靠自己的科学研究爬到天堂，没有比这更大的危险了。这样的人不是在蒙上帝带领，而是由撒但带领的，他正在用欺骗的理论毁灭他的灵魂。顽梗地拒绝看到亮光的人会陷入自己的诡辩中，且会丧失区分真理与谬论的能力。{MR760 6.3}[20]
§42 Christ took human nature upon Him, and came to our world to represent and establish the truth. Those who depart from the path cast up for the ransomed of the Lord will fall under the deceptive reasoning of Satan. He becomes their leader and under his direction they search for scientific problems and erroneous sentiments. I am instructed to say, Woe be to those who give place to the deceptive, insinuating sentiments of the enemy. They are no longer safe leaders and they do not realize where they are being led. There is no danger so great as for a man to refuse to confess his errors and to seek to climb to heaven through his study of science. Such a man is not being led of God, but by Satan, who is using deceptive theories to ruin his soul. He who stubbornly refuses to see the light will be given up to his own sophistry and will lose the power to distinguish between truth and error.?{MR760 6.3}[20]
§43 我蒙指示要向那些正在接受错误观点的人作一个见证，并将他们的危险清楚地告诉他们。但我们决不要与他们联系起来或与他们争论。真理就是真理，我们应当站在肯定的一边，介绍真理，拒绝被拉进辩论中。当基督受试探时，祂的武器是：“经上记着说。”祂拒绝与撒但争论。“魔鬼又带祂上了一座最高的山，将世上的万国与万国的荣华都指给祂看，对祂说：‘祢若俯伏拜我，我就把这一切都赐给祢’”（太4:8,9）。时候已到，基督要传达一个肯定的信息。祂说：“撒但，退去吧！因为经上记着说：当拜主你的上帝，单要事奉祂。于是，魔鬼离了耶稣，有天使来伺候祂”（太4:10,11）。{MR760 6.4}[21]
§44 I am instructed to bear a testimony to those who are entertaining erroneous sentiments and to tell them plainly of their danger. But we are in no case to link up with them or to argue with them. Truth is truth, and we are to stand on the affirmative side, presenting the truth and refusing to be drawn into controversy. When Christ was tempted, His weapon was, “It is written.” He refused to argue with Satan. “Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto Him, All these things will I?give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me” (Matthew 4:8, 9). The time had come for Christ to bear a positive message. “Get thee hence, Satan;” he said, “for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him” (Matthew 4:10).?{MR760 6.4}[21]
§45 我蒙指示要说，强烈的试探会临到每一个人，但我们要拒绝听从它们。当人们将上帝从思想中驱逐出去时，心灵的领域就被撒但占据了。他们便将自己笼罩在撒但造成的氛围里。{MR760 7.1}[22]
§46 I am instructed to say that strong temptations will come to everyone, but we are to refuse to listen to them. When men expel God from their thoughts, the realm of the mind is taken by Satan. They enshroud themselves in an atmosphere of Satan’s creating.?{MR760 7.1}[22]
§47 过去五十年来，形形色色的异端向我们袭来，要蒙蔽我们对圣经教导的理解——特别是关于基督在天上圣所中服务，以及《启示录》十四章天使所传有关末后日子的天上信息。在安息日复临信徒中间，曾有人倡导形形色色的信息，来取代那些通过虔诚研究而一点一点发掘出来的，并为上帝施行奇迹的能力所证实了的真理。那使我们进入目前状态的路标必须予以保守，也必定会得到保守，因为这是上帝藉着祂的圣言和圣灵的见证所指示的。祂号召我们用信心紧紧把握基于不容置疑之权威的基本原则。（《文稿》1905年44号，3月29日，“呼吁作忠心的管家”）{MR760 7.2}[23]
§48 For the past fifty years every phase of heresy has been brought to bear upon us, to becloud our minds regarding the teaching of the Word—especially concerning the ministration of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, and the message of heaven for these last days as given by the angels of the fourteenth chapter of Revelation. Messages of every order and kind have been urged upon Seventh-day Adventists, to take the place of the truth which, point by point, has been sought out by prayerful study and testified to by the miracle-working power of the Lord. But the waymarks which have made us what we are, are to be preserved, and they will be preserved, as God has signified through His Word and through the testimony of His Spirit. He calls upon us to hold firmly, with the grip of faith, to the fundamental principles that are based upon unquestionable authority.—Manuscript 44, 1905. (“An Appeal for Faithful Stewardship,” March 29, 1905).?{MR760 7.2}[23]
§49 我奉命向我们的人传达一个信息。奉主的名我奉命警告我们的传道人不要将错误的理论与上帝的真理混在一起。纯净的圣经真理要本着它的高贵和圣洁站出来。它不应按照人的智慧被分类和调整。传福音的人应当本着真理的简洁传讲真理；在上帝的赐福下，圣经于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的。“按着正意分解真理的道”（提后2:15）——这是对我们所有传道人的要求。可是许多传道人远远离开了基督的计划。他们贪图人的赞美，竭尽全力猎取和讲述奇闻逸事。主吩咐我忠告他们，要谦卑而虔诚地与主同行。{MR760 7.3}[24]
§50 I am bidden to bear a message to our people. In the name of the Lord I am bidden to warn our ministers not to mingle erroneous theories with the truth of God. Pure Bible truth is to stand forth in its nobility and sanctity. It is not to be classified and adjusted according to man’s wisdom. The ministers of the gospel are to present truth in its simplicity, through the blessing of God making the Scriptures profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. “Rightly dividing the word of truth”—this is the word that should be spoken of all our ministers. But far, far from this, many of our ministers have departed from Christ’s plans. The praise of men is coveted and they strain every faculty in an effort to hunt out and present wonderful things. The Lord bids me counsel them to walk humbly and prayerfully with Him.?{MR760 7.3}[24]
§51 我们的信息不需要巴伦杰弟兄正设法拉进网里的东西。他对某些经文的解说如此精细以致使它们失去了力量。要让我们的传道人满足于照基督所赐的接受这道。论到祂，经上记着说：“众人都喜欢听祂”（可12:37）。祂所介绍的真理对他们来说就像天上的粮。{MR760 8.1}[25]
§52 Our message does not need that which Brother Ballenger is trying to draw into the web. He draws out certain passages so fine that they lose their force. Let our ministers be content to take the Word as Christ has given it. Of Him it is written that the common people heard Him gladly. The truth that He presented was to them as the bread of heaven.?{MR760 8.1}[25]
§53 我要用清楚明白的语言对那些参加这次大会的人说：巴伦杰弟兄一直在让他的意念接受和相信似是而非的谬论。他一直在曲解和误用他已心中牢记的经文。他正在建造没有真理根基的理论。现在一个警告要临到他和百姓，因为上帝并没有创作他正在散布的信息。这个信息若是得到接受，就会渐渐破坏我们信仰的柱石。{MR760 8.2}[26]
§54 In clear, plain language I am to say to those in attendance at this conference that Brother Ballenger has been allowing his mind to receive and believe specious error. He has been misinterpreting and misapplying the Scriptures upon which he has fastened his mind. He is building up theories that are not founded in truth. A warning is now to come to him and to the people, for God has not indited the message that he is bearing. This message, if accepted, would undermine the pillars of our faith.?{MR760 8.2}[26]
§55 巴伦杰弟兄没有看出自己在做什么，就像凯洛格医生没有看出《活殿》一书含有一些极其危险的谬论，会被介绍给上帝的子民。最似是而非的谬论隐藏在这些理论和迷信里，若是得到接受，就会使上帝的子民处在一个谬论的迷宫里。那些珍爱这些理论的人是在沙土上建房子，及至狂风暴雨来到，房屋就会被一扫而空。{MR760 8.3}[27]
§56 Brother Ballenger does not discern what he is doing any more than Dr. Kellogg discerned that the book?Living Temple?contained some of the most dangerous errors that could be presented to the people of God. The most specious errors lie concealed in these theories and suppositions, which, if received, would leave the people of God in a labyrinth of error. Those who cherish these theories are building upon the sand, and when the storm and tempest shall come the structure will be swept away.?{MR760 8.3}[27]
§57 要研究基督在《马太福音》第七章中的话。这一整章都应该得到仔细考虑。它含有在这些末后的日子对上帝子民的警告。{MR760 8.4}[28]
§58 Study the words of Christ in the seventh chapter of Matthew. The whole chapter should be carefully considered. It contains warnings for God’s people in these last days.?{MR760 8.4}[28]
§59 “你们要防备假先知。他们到你们这里来，外面披着羊皮，里面却是残暴的狼。凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。荆棘上岂能摘葡萄呢？蒺藜里岂能摘无花果呢？这样，凡好树都结好果子，惟独坏树结坏果子。好树不能结坏果子；坏树不能结好果子。凡不结好果子的树就砍下来，丢在火里。所以，凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。凡称呼我‘主啊，主啊’的人不能都进天国；惟独遵行我天父旨意的人才能进去。当那日必有许多人对我说：‘主啊，主啊，我们不是奉祢的名传道，奉祢的名赶鬼，奉祢的名行许多异能吗？我就明明的告诉他们说：‘我从来不认识你们，你们这些作恶的人，离开我去吧！’所以，凡听见我这话就去行的，好比一个聪明人，把房子盖在磐石上；雨淋，水冲，风吹，撞着那房子，房子总不倒塌，因为根基立在磐石上。凡听见我这话不去行的，好比一个无知的人，把房子盖在沙土上；雨淋，水冲，风吹，撞着那房子，房子就倒塌了，并且倒塌得很大”（太7:15-27）。{MR760 8.5}[29]
§60 [Matthew 7:15-27?quoted.]?{MR760 8.5}[29]
§61 我们惟一的保障在于谨慎地行在上帝面前。危险的时期摆在我们前面。我们应当尽一切努力，以便站在上帝的忠告中而不是靠我们自己的智慧。要让圣经的简明道理本其真实的意义发出光来，并让它们按照它们的相对重要性深入人心。但愿我们只教导源出于天的真理。当我们教导在耶稣里的真理，不模糊、不妥协、不惧怕、也不忽视一切真理的大中心十字架时，新旧的事物就藉着圣灵的引导关联起来。圣洁地介绍适合这时候的信息，圣灵就会使之有效地拯救听众的灵魂。{MR760 8.6}[30]
§62 Our only safety is in walking circumspectly before God. Perilous times are before us. We are to make every effort to stand in the counsel of God and not in our own wisdom. Let the simple doctrines of the Word shine forth in their true bearing, and let them be urged home according to their relative importance. Let us teach only the truth of heavenly origin. Things new and old are connected through the Holy Spirit’s guidance when the truth is taught as it is in Jesus, without obscurity, without compromise, without fear, without losing sight of the cross as the great center of all truth. A sanctified presentation of the message for this time, the Holy Spirit will make effective unto the saving of the souls of the hearers.?{MR760 8.6}[30]
§63 你要当心，不要使福音神秘化。清楚明白的“耶和华如此说”斥责世俗物欲，消除困难，扩大悟性，回答这个问题：“我当怎样行才能承受永生？”上帝要求祂的传道人对于圣灵的恩典之工显出更大的智慧。祂希望他们在证道和祈祷中表明他们知道恩典的工作。我们神圣的榜样耶稣基督乃是耶和华我们的义。{MR760 8.7}[31]
§64 Take heed how you mystify the gospel. The plain “Thus saith the Lord” rebukes worldliness, dispels difficulties, enlarges the understanding, and?answers the question, “What must I do that I may inherit eternal life?” The Lord calls upon His ministers to reveal a greater intelligence regarding the Holy Spirit’s work of grace. He desires them to show in their sermons and in their prayers that they know the work of grace. Jesus Christ, our divine example, is the Lord our righteousness.?{MR760 8.7}[31]
§65 要是下定更强的决心，在人们中间不知道别的，只知道基督并祂钉十字架，原会使巴伦杰弟兄的工作因此有一种不同的性质。他若这么做，原不会花时间介绍那些被当作真理的学说，那些学说若是得到接受，就会渐渐破坏已经为时代而确立的强大真理。那声称自己的教导是纯正的，同时却在行事远离主的真理的人，已经到了需要回转的地步。{MR760 9.1}[32]
§66 A stronger determination to know nothing among men but Christ and Him crucified, would have given a different character to the work of Brother Ballenger on this ground. By this he would have been saved from spending his time in presenting as truth that which, if received, would undermine the mighty truths that have been established for ages. He who claims that his teachings are sound, while at the same time he is working away from the Lord’s truth, has come to the place where he needs to be converted.?{MR760 9.1}[32]
§67 有一个丰富又取之不尽的真理宝库是向凡存谦卑的心与上帝同行的人敞开的。那些心中装满上帝圣工之人的想法得到了清楚明白的表达，他们不缺乏多样化，因为总有一个丰富的珍宝柜在他们面前。那些追求独创的人会在努力得到某种新东西时忽视上帝柜中的瑰宝。{MR760 9.2}[33]
§68 A rich and inexhaustible storehouse of truth is open to all who walk humbly with God. The ideas of those whose hearts are fully in the work of God are clearly and plainly expressed, and they have no lack of variety, for there is ever before them a rich cabinet of jewels. Those who are striving for originality will overlook the precious jewels in God’s cabinet in an effort to get something new.?{MR760 9.2}[33]
§69 不要让任何人拆毁那造就我们今日状态的真理根基。虽然到处都有错谬的陷阱，上帝仍一步一步引领祂的子民前进。在明确的“耶和华如此说”奇妙地引领之下，饱经考验的真理建立起来了。若有人起来企图唆使信徒追随他们，就要用经过烈火考验的真理应对他们。{MR760 9.3}[34]
§70 Let not any man enter upon the work of tearing down the foundations of the truth that have made us what we are. God has led His people forward step by step though there were pitfalls of error on every side. Under the wonderful guidance of a plain, “Thus saith the Lord,” a truth has been established that has stood the test of trial. When men arise and attempt to draw away disciples after them, meet them with the truths that have been tried as by fire.?{MR760 9.3}[34]
§71 “你要写信给撒狄教会的使者，说：‘那有上帝的七灵和七星的，说：我知道你的行为，按名你是活的，其实是死的。你要警醒，坚固那剩下将要衰微的；因我见你的行为，在我上帝面前，没有一样是完全的。所以要回想你是怎样领受，怎样听见的；又要遵守，并要悔改。若不警醒，我必临到你那里，如同贼一样。我几时临到，你也决不能知道’”（启3:1-3）。{MR760 9.4}[35]
§72 [Revelation 3:1-3?quoted.]?{MR760 9.4}[35]
§73 那些企图移走古旧界标的人没有坚守岗位。他们忘了所聆听所领受的。那些设法引进新的理论，移除我们有关圣所及上帝和基督位格真理柱石的人，正在盲目行事。他们企图制造混乱，使上帝的子民无锚而漂流。{MR760 9.5}[36]
§74 Those who seek to remove the old landmarks are not holding fast; they are not remembering how they have received and heard. Those who try to bring in theories that would remove the pillars of our faith concerning the sanctuary or concerning the personality of God or of Christ, are working as blind men. They are seeking to bring in uncertainties and to set the people of God adrift without an anchor.?{MR760 9.5}[36]
§75 自称接受上帝所赐信息的人，应当具有敏锐清晰的属灵识别力，能区别真理和谬论。上帝的使者要说：“唤醒守望者吧”。如果人领会到所赐信息的精神，努力探索它的根源，以色列的主上帝就会保守他们不致误入歧途。{MR760 9.6}[37]
§76 Those who claim to be identified with the message that God has given us should have keen, clear spiritual perceptions, that they may distinguish truth from error. The word spoken by the messenger of God is “Wake up the?watchmen.” If men will discern the spirit of the messages given and strive to find out from what source they come, the Lord God of Israel will guard them from being led astray. But God is not to be trifled with.?{MR760 9.6}[37]
§77 我们从上天领受的信息是真实可信的。当有人努力提出与真理不符的新道理时，上帝的仆人要发出警告，清楚地指明，上帝的子民一旦接受这些新道理将会走向何方。已经接受现代真理亮光的人不应轻易受骗，轻易偏离真道而误入歧途。守望者们要时刻警醒，察觉一切似是而非的推论会造成的后果；因为会引进严重的错误误导上帝的子民。{MR760 10.1}[38]
§78 The messages that we have received from heaven are true and faithful. When one man strives to bring in new theories which are not the truth, the ministers of God should bear clear warning against these theories, pointing out where, if received, they would lead the people of God. Those who have received the light of present truth should not be easily deceived and readily led from the true path into strange paths. The watchmen are to be wide awake to discern the outcome of all specious reasoning, for serious errors will be brought in to lead the people of God astray.?{MR760 10.1}[38]
§79 如果接受巴伦杰弟兄提出的理论，就会使许多人离弃真道。他们就会对抗上帝的子民过去五十年来所坚持的真理。我奉命要奉主的名说，巴伦杰长老是在随从一种错误的亮光。他如今正在传扬的关于圣所崇祀的信息并不是主赐给他的。{MR760 10.2}[39]
§80 If the theories that Brother Ballenger presents were received, they would lead many to depart from the faith. They would counterwork the truths upon which the people of God have stood for the past fifty years. I am bidden to say in the name of the Lord that Elder Ballenger is following a false light. The Lord has not given him the message that he is bearing regarding the sanctuary service.?{MR760 10.2}[39]
§81 主我们的指导者对巴伦杰弟兄说：“你在藉着你对圣经的解释带来混乱和困惑。你以为你给出了新亮光，但你的亮光对于那些接受的人会变成黑暗。”{MR760 10.3}[40]
§82 Our Instructor spoke words to Brother Ballenger: “You are bringing in confusion and perplexity by your interpretation of the Scriptures. You think that you have been given new light, but your light will become darkness to those who receive it.?{MR760 10.3}[40]
§83 要行在基督的脚踪中，持定你已经领受的和听到的，抛弃任何一种意味着“我的主人必来得迟”（太24:48）的圣经解释。在你想不到的日子，人子就来了，那时你和那些被你搞糊涂的人将如何呢？你要原地止步，因为上帝并没有赐给你这个信息传给人。那些接受你有关圣所崇祀的圣经解释的人是在接受谬论，走在错误的道路上。仇敌会做那些渴望猎奇之人的思想工作，预备他们接受错误理论和错误的圣经解释。{MR760 10.4}[41]
§84 Walk in Christ’s footsteps and hold fast that which you have received and heard, and put away any exposition of Scripture which means, “My Lord delayeth His coming.” In such a day as ye think not the Son of man cometh, and then how will it be with you and those whose minds you have confused? Stop right where you are, for God has not given you this message to bear to the people. Those who receive your interpretation of Scripture regarding the sanctuary service are receiving error and following in false paths. The enemy will work the minds of those who are eager for something new, preparing them to receive false theories and false expositions of the Scripture.?{MR760 10.4}[41]
§85 上帝已经借着圣灵奠定了我们信仰的根基，如果有人出来挪移它的一根销钉或柱石，上帝的圣工中年迈的先驱者们就要直言相告，我们的杂志上也要重新刊登逝去的先贤们曾经发表的文章。要收集上帝赐予的神圣之光，祂就是这样一步一步地引导祂的子民走在真理的道路上。真理将经得起时间与试炼的考验。{MR760 10.5}[42]
§86 When men come in who would move one pin or pillar from the foundation which God has established by His Holy Spirit, let the aged men who were pioneers in our work speak plainly, and let those who are dead speak also by the reprinting of their articles in our periodicals. Gather up the rays of divine light that God has given as He has led His people on step by step in the way of truth. This truth will stand the test of time and trial.?{MR760 10.5}[42]
§87 基督被称作真帐幕的执事。祂是祂在地上的教会的元首。祂宣布：“天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了。所以，你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗。凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了”（太28:18-20）。祂是真帐幕的执事，祂在不断地发信息给祂的子民。纯正道理的丰富滋养必赐给所有真正的工人。基督的忠心使者们必在向人心讲真理的每一次证道中受上帝教导。基督确实是在真帐幕中作圣洁之事的执事，那帐幕是主所支的，不是人所支的。{MR760 11.1}[43]
§88 Christ is called the minister of the true tabernacle. He is the head of His church on earth. He declares, “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:18-20). He is the minister of the true tabernacle, and He is constantly sending messages to His people. The rich nutriment of sound doctrine will be given to all true laborers. Christ’s faithful ambassadors will be taught of God in every sermon that speaks truth to the heart. Christ is indeed the minister of holy things in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched and not man.?{MR760 11.1}[43]
§89 在传福音方面有一项大工要完成。上帝会从耕犁从葡萄园召人出来，差他们从事祂的服务，正如基督从渔夫们的日常职业呼召了他们一样。第一批门徒怎样顺从了基督的呼召，撇下他们的渔网，跟从了祂，今日从事卑微行业的人也会照样出去传扬适合这时候的信息。基督的这些忠心献身的工人不会追求最高地位，而会在舍己和牺牲的道路上跟从基督，他们会得人归于救主。{MR760 11.2}[44]
§90 There is a great work to be done in the proclamation of the gospel. God will call men from the plow and from the vineyard and will send them forth into His service, even as Christ called fishermen from their daily occupation. As the first disciples, in obedience to the call of Christ, left their nets and followed Him, so will men in humble walks of life go forth today with the message for this time. These devoted servants of Christ will not seek the highest seat, but will follow Christ in the path of self-denial and sacrifice, and they will win souls to the Saviour.?{MR760 11.2}[44]
§91 有千万人愿意为主做工，他们不像一些人那样，享有特权听到真理，可他们是上帝话语的忠心读者。他们因谦卑地把真光传给别人而蒙福。这样的人最好记日记。一旦上帝赐给他们有趣的经验，就把它记下来，如同撒母耳在以色列的军队战胜非利士人时所做的那样。他立起一块作为感谢的纪念碑，说：“到如今耶和华都帮助我们”（撒上7:12）。弟兄们，你们表达上帝慈爱和良善的纪念碑在哪里呢？要时常思念耶和华在你们帮助他人的努力中所给予你们的帮助。不要让你们的行为表显出丝毫自私的痕迹。上帝擦去你每一滴伤心的眼泪，消除你的每一恐惧，祂所表显的每一次怜悯，都要记在你的日记里。“你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何”（申33:25）。要甘心作处理大事的小人物。{MR760 11.3}[45]
§92 There are thousands of souls willing to work for the Master who have not had the privilege of hearing the truth as some have heard it, but they have been faithful readers of the Word of God, and they will be blessed in their humble efforts to impart light to others. Let such ones keep a diary and when the Lord gives them an interesting experience, let them write it down, as Samuel did when the armies of Israel won a victory over the Philistines. He set up a monument of thankfulness, saying, “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us” (1 Samuel 7:12). Brethren, where are the monuments by which you keep in view the love and goodness of God? Strive to keep fresh in your minds the help that the Lord has given you in your efforts to help others. Let not your actions show one trace of selfishness. Every tear that the Lord has helped you to wipe from sorrowful eyes, every fear that has been expelled, every mercy shown—trace a record of it in your diary. “As thy days, so shall thy strength be” (Deuteronomy 33:25). Be willing to be little men handling great subjects.?{MR760 11.3}[45]
§93 我有一个警告给那些以为自己已蒙主赐予工作，要以新亮光揭示圣经的人。这种工作意味着用人的解释取代上帝已经赐下的解释。天上的使者们就这样宣布巴伦杰弟兄开始从事的努力。{MR760 12.1}[46]
§94 I have a warning for those who suppose that they have been given the work of revealing Scripture in a new light. This work means substituting human interpretation for the interpretation that God has given. Thus did the heavenly messengers pronounce upon the effort into which Brother Ballenger has entered.?{MR760 12.1}[46]
§95 我的弟兄，你是在主面前，祂决不会完不成祂的工作，也决不会实现不了祂的话。不要散布你认为意味着很多的这个信息。在某种意义上，它确实意味着很多。它意味着根除对上帝的信心，使人成为没有信仰的人。要停止所有这种工作，因为它会导致许多人离弃曾一次交付圣徒的真道，去听从引诱人的邪灵。（《文稿》1905年62号，5月24日，“警告错误理论”）{MR760 12.2}[47]
§96 My brother, you are in the presence of Him who has never failed to accomplish His work or to fulfill His word. Bear not this message that you think means so much. In one way, it does mean much. It means the uprooting of faith in God and the making of infidels. Cease from all such work, for it will open the door for many to depart from the faith once delivered to the saints, and to give heed to seducing spirits.—Manuscript 62, 1905. (“A Warning Against False Theories,” May 24, 190.)?{MR760 12.2}[47]
§97 将来会有各种欺骗出现。我们要站稳立场。我们的建筑要有坚固的柱石。主所建立的工程上，一钉一卯也不可挪开。仇敌要带来许多虚假的理论，比如没有圣所的道理。这是会偏离真道的论点之一。除了主在过去五十年里赐给我们的真理之外，我们在哪里可以得到安全呢？{MR760 12.3}[48]
§98 In the future, deception of every kind is to arise, and we want solid ground for our feet. We want solid pillars for the building. Not one pin is to be removed from that which the Lord has established. The enemy will bring in false theories such as the doctrine that there is no sanctuary. This is one of the points on which there will be a departing from the faith. Where shall we find safety unless it be in the truths that the Lord has been giving for the last fifty years??{MR760 12.3}[48]
§99 我要告诉你们基督活着，为我们代求，拯救所有凭信心来到祂面前并顺从祂指示的人。但要记住，祂不希望你把精力化在批判自己的弟兄上。要关心自己灵魂的得救，做上帝差派你的工作。你会发现要做的工很多，不再有批评他人的念头了。要用语言的天赋帮助和造福他人。你如果从事上帝赐给你的工作，你就会明白藉圣灵而成圣的意义。{MR760 12.4}[49]
§100 I want to tell you that Christ lives. He makes intercession for us, and He will save every one who will come to Him in faith and obey His directions. But remember that He does not want you to give your energies to criticism of your brethren. Attend to the salvation of your own soul. Do the work God has given you. You will find so much to do that you will have no inclination to criticize someone else. Use the talent of speech to help and bless. If you do the work God has given you, you will understand what is meant by the sanctification of the Spirit.?{MR760 12.4}[49]
§101 不要以为撒但无所事事。不要以为他的军队消极被动。他和他的爪牙现今已进入阵地。我们要穿戴上帝全副的军装。穿戴完毕之后，就要刚强站立，与执政的，掌权的，和天空属灵气的恶魔争战。我们若穿戴天上的盔甲，就会发现仇敌的攻击无法战胜我们。上帝的使者必在我们周围保护我们。我有上帝的保证，十分可靠。我奉以色列主上帝的名，呼吁你们上来帮助耶和华，帮助耶和华攻击勇士。你们如果这样做，就会有一位大能的帮助者、一位个人的救主在你们身边。上帝的盾牌将护庇你们，祂将为你们开路，使你们永不为仇敌所制服。我在祈求救主为那些已经进入仇敌试探的人运用祂的能力。他们要站在全能者宽广的盾牌之下。我的弟兄们，我们有特权站在这个盾牌之下。（《评论与通讯》1905年5月25日，怀爱伦1905年5月16日在总会会议上的演讲。）{MR760 12.5}[50]
§102 Do not think that Satan is not doing anything. Do not think that his army is passive. He and his agencies are on the ground today. We are to put on the whole armor of God. Having done all, we are to stand, meeting principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places. And if we have on the heavenly armor, we shall find that the assaults of the enemy will not have power over us. Angels of God will be round about us to?protect us. I have the assurance of God that thus it will be. In the name of the Lord God of Israel I ask you to come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. If you do this, you will have on your side a strong helper, a personal Saviour. You will be covered with the shield of providence. God will make a way for you, so that you will never be overtaken by the enemy. I am praying that the power of the Saviour will be exerted in behalf of those who have entered into the temptations of the enemy. They are not standing under the broad shield of Omnipotence. My brethren, it is our privilege to stand under this shield.—The Review and Herald, May 25, 1905. (Address by E. G. White at the General Conference session May 16, 1905.)?{MR760 12.5}[50]
§103 我现在不会设法描绘我昨夜的经历。我睡着了，许多事被显给我看。我蒙赐予指示，别人还在睡觉的时候，我在夜间写了出来。我有许多要说的，要用笔和声音对我们的人说。{MR760 13.1}[51]
§104 I will not now try to describe the experience through which I passed during the night. I slept, and many things were represented to me. The instruction given me, I wrote out in the night season, while others were sleeping. I have much more to say which will be said to our people with pen and voice.?{MR760 13.1}[51]
§105 我们应当特别注意罪人的归正。现在是每一个人都试验自己的情况的时候。风尚是指望人的同情。需要有更强的道德力。上帝的子民应该过这样的生活：清楚地意识到他们有一位上帝，他们应当带着所有的麻烦去找祂，而不是去找人。“你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐与众人、也不斥责人的上帝，主就必赐给他。只要凭着信心求，一点不疑惑；因为那疑惑的人，就像海中的波浪，被风吹动翻腾。这样的人不要想从主那里得什么。心怀二意的人，在他一切所行的路上都没有定见”（雅1:5-8）。{MR760 13.2}[52]
§106 We are to give special attention to the conversion of sinners. Now is the time for every soul to test his own case. It is the prevailing custom to look to human agencies for sympathy. There is called for a much stronger element of moral power. God’s people are to live in the clear sense that they have a God to whom they are to go with all their troubles, but go not to human agencies. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:5-8).?{MR760 13.2}[52]
§107 我们需要谦卑地行在主面前。祂的真理应当得到证实和推崇。我们蒙警告各种异端会在这些末后的日子被引进到上帝的子民中间。一个异端在解释上帝的道上和背离主的设计与计划上导致许多异端。让我们在这次大会上的聚会成为调查和建造荒废之处的时间吧。“那些出于你的人必修造久已荒废之处；你要建立拆毁累代的根基。你必称为补破口的，和重修路径与人居住的。你若在安息日掉转（或作：谨慎）你的脚步，在我圣日不以操作为喜乐，称安息日为可喜乐的，称耶和华的圣日为可尊重的；而且尊敬这日，不办自己的私事，不随自己的私意，不说自己的私话，你就以耶和华为乐。耶和华要使你乘驾地的高处，又以你祖雅各的产业养育你。这是耶和华亲口说的”（赛58:12-14）。{MR760 13.3}[53]
§108 We need to walk humbly before the Lord. His truth is to be substantiated and magnified. We are warned that heresy of every kind will be brought in among the people of God in these last days. One heresy leads to many other heresies in the explanation of the Word of God and in departing from the Lord’s designs and plans. Let our meetings in this conference be times for the investigation and building up of the waste places. [Isaiah 58:12-14quoted.]?{MR760 13.3}[53]
§109 主希望我们在这个时候引进那些如今已死之人的见证，好为天上的事发言。圣灵已在这些末后的日子为我们赐下指示。我们要重述上帝赐给祂子民的见证，就是提出圣所真理之清晰概念的见证，和清楚说明基督与圣所真理的关系的见证。{MR760 14.1}[54]
§110 The Lord would have us at this time bring in the testimony written by those who are now dead, to speak in behalf of heavenly things. The Holy Spirit has given instruction for us in these last days. We are to repeat the testimonies that God has given His people, the testimonies that present clear conceptions of the truths of the sanctuary and that show the relation of Christ to the truths of the sanctuary so clearly brought to view.?{MR760 14.1}[54]
§111 我们若是主所指定的信使，就不可提出与上帝自从1844年以来藉着祂的仆人们赐下的信息相抵触的新想法新理论。在当时许多人用心灵和声音寻求主。上帝所兴起的人是殷勤查考圣经的人。而今日那些自称有亮光，却反驳上帝所命的曾在圣灵的引导之下工作的信使们的教导的人，那些创立新理论要移除我们信仰柱石的人，不是在遵行上帝的旨意，而是在引进他们自己发明的谬论，这些谬论若是得到接受，就会使教会割断真理的锚，使他们漂流到会接受任何可能出现的诡辩之处。这些谬论会与J.H.凯洛格医生在撒但的特别指导之下多年来一直在从事的谬论相似。{MR760 14.2}[55]
§112 If we are the Lord’s appointed messengers, we shall not spring up with new ideas and theories to contradict the message that God has given through His servants since 1844. At that time many sought the Lord with heart and soul and voice. The men whom God raised up were diligent searchers of the Scriptures. And those who today claim to have light, and who contradict the teaching of God’s ordained messengers who were working under the Holy Spirit’s guidance, those who get up new theories which remove the pillars of our faith, are not doing the will of God, but are bringing in fallacies of their own invention, which, if received, will cut the church away from the anchorage of truth and set them drifting, drifting, to where they will receive any sophistries that may arise. These will be similar to that which Dr. J. H. Kellogg, under Satan’s special guidance, has been working for years.?{MR760 14.2}[55]
§113 我们的工作是要提出我们信仰的有力缘由，我们过去和现在的立场，因为有些人从未在真理上坚固，会引进谬论，扯掉我们信仰的锚定。甚至区会会长们也会害怕行动，像一些人已经做的那样，命令人、指挥人、禁止人。他们将羊赶到禁路。上帝并没有差派人带来一个信息，使人离弃已作我们堡垒许多年的信仰。我们应当加强这信仰，而不是拆毁它的根基。{MR760 14.3}[56]
§114 Our work is to bring forth the strong reasons of our faith, our past and present position, because there are men who, never established in the truth, will bring in fallacies which would tear away the anchorage of our faith. Even presidents of conferences will fear to move, as some have done, dictating and commanding and forbidding. They drive the sheep away into forbidden paths. God sends no man with a message that leads souls to depart from the faith that has been our stronghold for so many years. We are to substantiate this faith rather than tear down the foundation upon which it rests.?{MR760 14.3}[56]
§115 犹太人中将有许多人归正，这些归正的人将协助为主预备道路，在沙漠地修直我们上帝的路。归正的犹太人要积极参加将来为迎接基督我们的君王而作的伟大准备。一个国度将要在一日之内诞生！如何成就呢？要藉着上帝所指定已经皈依真理的人。人们将会看到“先发苗，后长穗，再后穗上结成饱满的籽粒”（可4:28）。先知的预言将要应验。耶和华的日子将要忽然意外地来到，而人们却在沉睡。要阅读太10:16：“我差你们去，如同羊进入狼群；所以你们要灵巧像蛇，驯良像鸽子。”（《文稿》1905年75号，5月，“建造荒废之处。”）{MR760 14.4}[57]
§116 There will be many converted from among the Jews, and these converts will aid in preparing the way of the Lord and making straight in the desert a highway for our God. Converted Jews are to have an important part to act in the great preparations to be made in the future to receive Christ, our Prince. A nation shall be born in a day. How? By men whom God has appointed being converted to the truth. There will be seen, “First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear” (Mark 4:28). The predictions of prophecy will be fulfilled. The day of the Lord will come suddenly, unexpectedly, and men are asleep. Read?Matthew 10:16, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”?Manuscript 75, 1905. (“Building the Waste Places,” May, 1905.)?{MR760 14.4}[57]
§117 我三点钟就醒了，心中愉快感恩，因为我摆脱周身疼痛了。我的右手沉稳，我能给钢笔注满墨水，一滴也不溢出来。我感谢上帝，多年来这只手很少软弱。我能完全自在地上下楼梯，有些日子我上下楼十二次那么多。{MR760 15.1}[58]
§118 I awake at three o’clock. My heart goes forth in grateful thanksgiving that I am free from aches and pains. My right hand is calm and steady, and I can fill my fountain pen without spilling a drop of ink. I thank God that for many years this hand has seldom been weak. I can walk up and down stairs with perfect ease, and some days I go up and down as many as twelve times.?{MR760 15.1}[58]
§119 我尽心尽性想要做上帝任命我作祂信使工作。我渴望将我们在圣经中发现的我们信仰的证据给我们的人。现今有许多人提出奇怪的道理，给经文一个错误的意思。巴伦杰长老以为自己有新亮光，且有负担要将它传给人，但主已指示我，他已误用了圣经的经文，对经文作了错误的应用。上帝的道始终是真理，然而巴伦杰长老的道理若是得到接受，就会动摇我们对圣所问题的信心。巴伦杰长老已经藉着大量罗列经文使人们的心困惑了。这些经文是对的，但他却将它们放在了不属于它们的地方。{MR760 15.2}[59]
§120 I desire with heart and soul to do the work that God has given me as His messenger. I am anxious to give people the evidences of our faith as found in the Scriptures. There are many today who present strange doctrines, giving the Scriptures a wrong meaning. Elder Ballenger thinks that he has new light and is burdened to give it to the people, but the Lord has instructed me that he has misapplied texts of Scripture and given them a wrong application. The Word of God is always the truth, but the doctrines that Elder Ballenger advances, if received, would unsettle our faith in the sanctuary question. Already Elder Ballenger has mystified minds by his large array of texts. These texts are true, but he has placed them where they do not belong.?{MR760 15.2}[59]
§121 关于圣所问题的亮光是上帝的灵所赐的，而我们经历过1844年大失望的人能证实当时所赐关于圣所问题的亮光。巴伦杰长老需要休息一会儿，停止撒播会使我们的人走上错误轨道的稗子。我作为上帝的信使，要毫不犹豫地传达关于这个问题的信息。{MR760 15.3}[60]
§122 The light on the sanctuary question was given by the Spirit of God, and we who passed through the disappointment of 1844 can testify to the light that was then given on the sanctuary question. Elder Ballenger needs to rest awhile and cease to sow the tares which will lead our people on a false track. As the messenger of God, I am to bear no hesitating message on this subject.?{MR760 15.3}[60]
§123 巴伦杰长老没有看到他正设法造成的东西是什么。现在巴伦杰长老需要仔细研究基督来到拔摩岛赐给约翰的信息，因为这些警告的话告诉我们，人们会起来声称有新亮光，那些理论若是得到接受，就会破坏我们对已经受住半个世纪考验的真理的信心。我们需要研究和明白在《启示录》第三章中所赐的信息。{MR760 15.4}[61]
§124 Elder Ballenger does not see what he is trying to bring to pass. The message that Christ came to give to John on the Isle of Patmos needs now to be carefully studied by Elder Ballenger, for these words of warning tell us that men will arise claiming to have new light, whose theories, if received, would destroy our faith in the truths that have stood the test for half a century. We need to study and understand the message given in the third chapter of Revelation.?{MR760 15.4}[61]
§125 “你要写信给撒狄教会的使者，说：‘那有上帝的七灵和七星的，说：我知道你的行为，按名你是活的，其实是死的。你要警醒，坚固那剩下将要衰微（原文作死）的；因我见你的行为，在我上帝面前，没有一样是完全的。所以要回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的、又要遵守，并要悔改。若不警醒，我必临到你那里，如同贼一样。我几时临到，你也决不能知道”（启3:1-3）。{MR760 15.5}[62]
§126 [Revelation 3:1-3?quoted.]?{MR760 15.5}[62]
§127 这是一项要完成的工作。巴伦杰长老需要在上帝面前谦卑己心，拒绝接受圣经的新解释。我们曾不得不对付许多人，他们就带着这种解释过来，设法确立错误的理论，藉着他们的敏于谈论，藉着罗列他们所误用来迎合他们自己想法的大量经文来扰乱人心。{MR760 15.6}[63]
§128 This is a work to be done. There is need for Elder Ballenger to humble his soul before God and to refuse to receive new interpretations of the Scriptures. We have had to meet many men who have come with just such interpretations, seeking to establish false theories and unsettling the minds?of many by their readiness to talk, and by their great array of texts which they have misapplied to suit their own ideas.?{MR760 15.6}[63]
§129 在这尘世历史中，建造某种新的东西已经为时太晚了。我们在这工作早期的经验中曾不得不对付的错误理论驱使我们向主祈祷。主给了我——祂的信使——一个明确的信息，就是人们在错误地应用上帝的道。基督在下述话语中提到了这种危险：“你要警醒，坚固那剩下将要死的”（启3:2）。那教导错误理论的人，祸哉！祸哉！{MR760 16.1}[64]
§130 It is too late in this earth’s history to get up something new. The erroneous theories that we had to meet in our early experiences in this work drove us to the Lord in prayer. And the Lord gave me, His messenger, a decided message that men were placing a false application on the Word of God. Christ referred to this danger in the words, “Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, that are ready to die” (Revelation 3:2). Woe, woe to the man who teaches false theories.?{MR760 16.1}[64]
§131 我们得到警告不要听从那些正在获得一种错误经验之人的道理。我们整夜祈祷，圣灵便赐下信息，清晰明确。我们一路都不得不对付这种事。但我们并不听从他们。还有人介绍别的教义，否认我们过去一直提倡的真理。情况还会这样，直到这尘世历史结束。{MR760 16.2}[65]
§132 We were cautioned not to listen to the doctrines of men who were obtaining a false experience. We spent whole nights in prayer, and the Holy Spirit gave the message, clear and distinct. All along the way we have had to meet just such things. But we gave no heed to them. Other presentations were made in doctrines that denied the truth which in the past had been advocated. Thus it will be till the close of this earth’s history.?{MR760 16.2}[65]
§133 警告一路传下来：“所以要回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的、又要遵守，并要悔改”（启3:3）。悔改你突出表现自己是个有大光的。我蒙指示看到你以为的亮光会成为黑暗，将人带入异路。{MR760 16.3}[66]
§134 The warning comes down along the line, “Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and hold fast, and repent” (Revelation 3:3). Repent of the inclination to distinguish yourself as a man who has great light. Your supposed light is shown to me to be darkness which will lead into strange paths.?{MR760 16.3}[66]
§135 上帝的道蕴含真理，然而当这道被误用，加强谬论时，我们就必须毫不犹豫地对付这种危险。我们必须号召我们的人转离这种理论，不接受这些理论，而要回想他们是怎样领受、怎样听见的、又要遵守，并要悔改。我们号召他们保持属灵的眼力清晰，不要接受一些人提供的详细的多余的圣经解释，因为这些解释会渐渐破坏我们信仰的柱石。要尊重主的道，但不要尊重它的错误应用去证实谬论。{MR760 16.4}[67]
§136 The Word of God contains the truth, but when this Word is misapplied and made to strengthen error, we must meet this danger without hesitation. We must call upon our people to turn from such theories, to receive them not, to remember how they have received, and heard, and hold fast, and repent. We call upon them to keep their spiritual eyesight clear and to receive not the elaborate, uncalled-for explanations of the Scriptures offered by some, because these explanations would undermine the pillars of our faith. Reverence the Word, but not its misapplication to substantiate error.?{MR760 16.4}[67]
§137 主警告我们：所以要回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的、又要遵守，并要悔改”（启3:3）。这就是我传达给巴伦杰长老的信息。主对他说：我饶你一命以便你回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的。{MR760 16.5}[68]
§138 The warning is, “Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and hold fast, and repent” (Revelation 3:3). This is the message that I bear to Elder Ballenger. The Lord says to him, I have spared your life that you may remember how you have received and heard.?{MR760 16.5}[68]
§139 对我们经历过1844年大失望的人来说，似乎不可能会忘记所得的经验与知识，为要建立我们对真理的信心，这些真理是通过圣灵的帮助赐给我们的。对那些已经受住多年来一直临到的难堪考验的人，主说：“你们是我的见证。”凡已蒙启迪的人都要警醒并坚固那剩下的事、那些因错误理论而将要在属灵上死亡的人，那些错误理论是通过误用圣经引进来的。{MR760 16.6}[69]
§140 To us who passed through the disappointment of 1844, it seems impossible that we should ever forget the experience and the knowledge given us to?establish our faith in the truths given us through the ministration of the Holy Spirit. To those who have passed through the trying tests that have come all along the years, the Lord says, “Ye are My witnesses.” All who have been enlightened are to be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, those who are ready to die spiritually by reason of the false theories brought in through misapplication of the Scriptures.?{MR760 16.6}[69]
§141 有许多人没有完善基督徒品格：他们的生活没有藉着使人成圣的真理得以纯洁无玷污，他们会将他们的不完全带进教会，否认他们的信仰，捡起奇怪的理论，当作真理来提倡。{MR760 17.1}[70]
§142 There are many who have not perfected a Christian character: their lives have not been made pure and undefiled through the sanctification of the truth, and they will bring their imperfections into the church and deny their faith, picking up strange theories which they will advance as truth.?{MR760 17.1}[70]
§143 但愿人人都听从这个警告：“所以要回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的、又要遵守，并要悔改。若不警醒，我必临到你那里，如同贼一样。我几时临到，你也决不能知道”（启3:3）。撒但正在利用他一切的技术抢夺人类的灵魂。他的使者们与人混在一起，指教他们邪恶的奥秘。这些堕落的天使会拉拢门徒跟从他们，会与他们交谈，会提出尽可能错误的原则，诱导人进入欺骗之途。在全世界都会发现这些恶天使，他们介绍奇妙的事，那些事不久就会以更加明确的亮光出现。上帝号召祂的子民去了解敬虔的奥秘。耶稣基督是我们的倚靠，主号召祂的子民当心，不要随从一种会使他们丧失有用性的做法。{MR760 17.2}[71]
§144 Let all heed the warning, “Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee” (Revelation 3:3). Satan is using all his science in playing the game of life for human souls. His angels are mingling with men and instructing them in the mysteries of evil. These fallen angels will draw away disciples after them, will talk with men, and will set forth principles that are as false as can be, leading souls into paths of deception. These angels are to be found all over the world, presenting the wonderful things that will soon appear in a more decided light. God calls upon His people to gain an understanding of the mystery of godliness. Jesus Christ is our dependence, and the Lord calls upon His people to beware of following a course that would rob them of their usefulness.?{MR760 17.2}[71]
§145 在传扬真理时不应有炫耀。让俗人们大事炫耀地从事他们的大型聚会吧，然而不要让上帝的子民以为这是传福音或介绍真理的方式。外表的炫耀并不使真理有影响力。它并不加添工人们在上帝葡萄园中的有用性或成功。传道人和医疗布道士们，要忠于你们的呼召。不要为炫耀作出任何展示。你们在资金的支出上要显出基督的舍己。祂为我们撇下了祂的王袍和王冠，以人性披覆了祂的神性，来到这个世界作一个婴孩，作为人间的一个人在这里生活了三十年。祂过了穷人的一生，可是祂却是天国之君。祂宣布：“看哪，我来了！我的事在经卷上已经记载了。我的上帝啊，我乐意照祢的旨意行；祢的律法在我心里”（诗40:7-8）。先知以赛亚作见证说：“因有一婴孩为我们而生；有一子赐给我们。政权必担在祂的肩头上；祂名称为‘奇妙、策士、全能的上帝、永在的父、和平的君’”（赛9:6）。{MR760 17.3}[72]
§146 In the proclamation of the truth there is to be no display. Let worldlings carry on their large gatherings with their great display, but let not God’s people suppose that this is the way to preach the gospel or to present the truth. Outward display does not give influence to the truth. It does not add to the usefulness or the success of the workers in God’s vineyard. Ministers and medical missionaries, be true to your calling. Make no exhibitions for display. In your expenditure of means, let the self-denial of Christ be seen. In our behalf He laid aside His royal robe and kingly crown and clothed His divinity with humanity, coming to this world as a babe, and for thirty years living here as a man among men. He lived the life of a poor man, yet He was the Prince of heaven. “Lo, I come,” He declared, “in the volume of the book it is written of me; I delight to do Thy will, O My?God: yea, thy law is within my heart” (Psalm 40:7-8). The prophet Isaiah bears testimony, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).?{MR760 17.3}[72]
§147 蒙爱的门徒约翰作见证说：“太初有道，道与上帝同在，道就是上帝。这道太初与上帝同在。万物是藉着祂造的；凡被造的，没有一样不是藉着祂造的。生命在祂里头，这生命就是人的光。……道成了肉身，住在我们中间，充充满满的有恩典有真理。我们也见过祂的荣光，正是父独生子的荣光。约翰为祂作见证，喊着说：‘这就是我曾说：“那在我以后来的，反成了在我以前的，因他本来在我以前。”’从祂丰满的恩典里，我们都领受了，而且恩上加恩。……上帝所差来的就说上帝的话，因为上帝赐圣灵给祂是没有限量的。父爱子，已将万有交在祂手里。信子的人有永生；不信子的人不得见永生，上帝的震怒常在他身上”（约1:1-4,14-16;?3:34-36）。{MR760 18.1}[73]

§149 在这段经文中，说到上帝和基督是两个不同的位格，各自以祂们自己的个性行事。{MR760 18.2}[74]

§151 “律法本是藉着摩西传的；恩典和真理都是由耶稣基督来的”（约1:17）。“慈爱和诚实彼此相遇；公义和平安彼此相亲。诚实从地而生；公义从天而现。耶和华必将好处赐给我们；我们的地也要多出土产。公义要行在祂面前，叫祂的脚踪成为可走的路。”“从来没有人看见上帝，只有在父怀里的独生子将祂表明出来”（诗85:10-13；约1:18）。{MR760 18.3}[75]

§153 摩西恳求上帝，说：“‘求祢显出祢的荣耀给我看。’耶和华说：‘我要显我一切的恩慈，在你面前经过，宣告我的名。我要恩待谁就恩待谁；要怜悯谁就怜悯谁；’又说：‘你不能看见我的面，因为人见我的面不能存活。’耶和华说：‘看哪，在我这里有地方，你要站在磐石上。我的荣耀经过的时候，我必将你放在磐石穴中，用我的手遮掩你，等我过去，然后我要将我的手收回，你就得见我的背，却不得见我的面’”（出33:18-23）。（《文稿》1905年145号，10月31日，日记)?{MR760 18.4}[76]
§154 Moses, pleading with God, said: [Exodus 33:18-23?quoted.]—Manuscript 145, 1905. (Diary, October 31, 1905.)?{MR760 18.4}[76]
§155 要不是主的照管，我不愿再活一天。但这是我心中一个很确定的问题——我们是在人的控制之外的一个能力之下，我们可以倚赖那个能力。主对我们很好，我们若是愿意小心地行在祂面前，祂就会始终为我们彰显祂的能力。祂必将凡爱祂且顺从祂的人拯救到底。{MR760 18.5}[77]
§156 Did not the Lord have oversight, I should not care to live another day. But this is a question settled in my mind—that we are under a power which is beyond human control, and in that power we can trust. The Lord is good to us, and if we will walk carefully before Him He will ever reveal His power in our behalf. He will save to the uttermost all who love and obey Him.?{MR760 18.5}[77]
§157 我每天都渴望能尽双倍的本分。我一直在恳求主赐我力量和智慧，好再现在信仰和这信息的早期历史上坚定的见证人们的著作。1844年的定期过去之后，他们领受了亮光并且行在光中，而当自称拥有新亮光的人要带着他们关于圣经不同要点的惊人信息进来时，我们藉着圣灵的感动，拥有中肯的证言，断绝了A.F.巴伦杰长老一直致力于传讲的那种信息的影响。这个可怜的人一直在坚决地反对圣灵已证实的真理。当上帝的大能证明何为真理时，那真理就会永远立定。后来与上帝所赐亮光相反的种种臆测都不可接受。{MR760 18.6}[78]
§158 I long daily to be able to do double duty. I have been pleading with the Lord for strength and wisdom to reproduce the writings of the witnesses who were confirmed in the faith in the early history of the message. After the passing of the time in 1844, they received the light and walked in the light, and when the men claiming to have new light would come in with their wonderful messages regarding various points of Scripture, we had, through the moving of the Holy Spirit, testimonies right to the point, which cut off the influence of such messages as Elder A. F. Ballenger has been devoting his time to presenting. This poor man has been working decidedly against the truth that the Holy Spirit has confirmed. When the power of God testifies as to what is truth, that truth is to stand forever as the truth. No after-suppositions contrary to the light God has given are to be entertained.?{MR760 18.6}[78]
§159 将有人起来解释圣经，自以为是真理，其实不是真理。上帝已经赐给我们现代的真理，作为我们信仰的根基。祂亲自教导我们什么是真理。将会有接二连三的人起来，倡导与上帝藉圣灵的明证所赐下的亮光相矛盾的所谓新亮光。经历了现代真理奠定阶段的人中，还有一些健在。上帝惠赐他们长寿，可以反复重述真理直到他们生命的结束。他们的经历就如使徒约翰一样，见证到最后一刻。至于那些已经逝世的旗手，应该藉着重印他们的著作，让他们继续说话。我蒙指示，他们的声音要让人听到。要让他们为现代的真理继续作证。{MR760 19.1}[79]
§160 Men will arise with interpretations of Scripture which are to them truth, but which are not truth. The truth for this time, God has given us as a foundation for our faith. He Himself has taught us what is truth. One will arise, and still another with new light, which contradicts the light that God has given under the demonstration of His Holy Spirit. A few are still alive who passed through the experience gained in the establishment of this truth. God has graciously spared their lives to repeat and repeat, till the close of their lives, the experience through which they passed, even as did John the apostle till the very close of his life. And the standard-bearers who have fallen in death are to speak through the re-printing of their writings. I am instructed that thus their voices are to be heard. They are to bear their testimony as to what constitutes the truth for this time.?{MR760 19.1}[79]
§161 不要接受那些带来一道与我们信仰的特殊要点相矛盾的信息之人的话。他们收集了一大堆经文，堆砌为他们所倡导之学说的证据。在过去五十年里，一再有这样的事发生。圣经是上帝的话，应该得到尊重。但是滥用经文，从上帝在五十年里所奠定的根基上挪移柱石，乃是严重的错误。这样滥用圣经的人根本不明白圣灵的奇妙显现如何给过去赐予上帝子民的信息带来能力。{MR760 19.2}[80]
§162 We are not to receive the words of those who come with a message that contradicts the special points of our faith. They gather together a mass of Scripture and pile it as proof around their asserted theories. This has been done over and over again during the past fifty years. And while the Scriptures are God’s Word, and are to be respected, the application of them, if such application moves one pillar of the foundation that God has sustained these fifty years, is a great mistake. He who makes such an application knows not the wonderful demonstration of the Holy Spirit that gave power and force to the past messages that have come to the people of God.?{MR760 19.2}[80]
§163 巴伦杰长老的证据是不可靠的，若予接受，就会破坏上帝的子民对已使我们成了何等人的真理的信心。我们在这个问题上必须坚定；因为他试图藉圣经证明的那些要点并不合理。他的论点不能证明上帝的子民过去的经验是一个错误。我们拥有真理；我们受了上帝天使的指导。圣所问题的表述是在圣灵的指导之下做出的。关于他们所没有参与的我们信仰的特色，保持沉默便是每一个人的雄辩。{MR760 19.3}[81]
§164 Elder Ballenger’s proofs are not reliable. If received, they would destroy the faith of God’s people in the truth that has made us what we are. We must be decided on this subject, for the points that he is trying to prove by Scripture are not sound. They do not prove that the past experience of God’s people was a fallacy. We had the truth: we were directed by the angels of God. It was under the guidance of the Holy Spirit that the presentation of the sanctuary question was given. It is eloquence for everyone to keep silent in regard to the features of our faith in which they acted no part.?{MR760 19.3}[81]
§165 上帝决不自相矛盾。若是去强证并不真实的东西，圣经的证据就被误用了。会有一个接一个的人起来，引进自以为的大光，作出他们的主张。但我们支持古老的界标。“论到从起初原有的生命之道，就是我们所听见所看见，亲眼看过，亲手摸过的。（这生命已经显现出来，我们也看见过，现在又作见证，将原与父同在，且显现与我们那永远的生命，传给你们）。我们将所看见，所听见的，传给你们，使你们与我们相交。我们乃是与父并祂儿子耶稣基督相交的。我们将这些话写给你们，使你们（有古卷作我们）的喜乐充足。上帝就是光，在祂毫无黑暗。这是我们从主所听见，又报给你们的信息。我们若说是与上帝相交，却仍在黑暗里行，就是说谎话，不行真理了。我们若在光明中行，如同上帝在光明中，就彼此相交，祂儿子耶稣的血也洗净我们一切的罪。我们若说自己无罪，便是自欺，真理不在我们心里了。我们若认自己的罪，上帝是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义。我们若说自己没有犯过罪，便是以上帝为说谎的。祂的道也不在我们心里了”（约壹1:1-10）。{MR760 19.4}[82]
§166 God never contradicts Himself. Scripture proofs are misapplied if forced to testify to that which is not true. Another and still another will arise and bring in supposedly great light, and make their assertions. But we stand by the old landmarks. [1 John 1:1-10?quoted.]?{MR760 19.4}[82]
§167 我蒙指示要说，我们可以将这些话用于当代，因为时候已到，必须直指罪名。我们的工作因没有悔改归正的人、寻求自己荣耀的人而受了阻碍。他们希望人们认为他们是新理论的发明家，他们提出那些理论，声称是真理。但是这些理论若被接受，就会使人拒绝过去五十年来上帝一直在赐给祂子民的真理，祂已藉圣灵的明证坚固了这真理。{MR760 20.1}[83]
§168 I am instructed to say that these words we may use as appropriate for this time, for the time has come when sin must be called by its right name. We are hindered in our work by men who are not converted, who seek their own glory. They wish to be thought originators of new theories, which they present, claiming that they are truth. But if these theories are received, they will lead to a denial of the truth that for the past fifty years God has been giving to His people, substantiating it by the demonstration of the Holy Spirit.?{MR760 20.1}[83]
§169 但愿人人都当心他们工作的性质。他们最好为了自己灵魂的缘故也为了别人灵魂的缘故站好队。“我们若在光明中行，如同上帝在光明中，就彼此相交，祂儿子耶稣的血也洗净我们一切的罪”（约壹1:7）。开始踏上一个新的轨道，用圣经证实错误理论，使人心陷入混乱，远离应当不可磨灭地印在上帝子民心上以便他们持定信心的真理，不会增加任何一个人的信誉。（《信函》1905年第329号，12月11日，致J.A.伯登）{MR760 20.2}[84]
§170 Let all men beware what is the character of their work. They would better be falling into line for their own souls’ sake and for the sake of the souls of others. “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). It is nothing to the credit of any man to start on a new track, using Scripture to substantiate theories of error, leading minds into confusion, away from the truths that are to be indelibly impressed on the minds of God’s people, that they may hold fast to the faith.—Letter 329, 1905. (To J. A. Burden, December 11, 1905.)?{MR760 20.2}[84]
§171 仇敌从来没有像现在这么狡猾地作工，我们需要认识到我们现在应当充分预备好对付可能出现的无论怎样的背道。上帝的道宣布有些人会离弃真道，听从引诱人的邪灵和鬼魔的道理。{MR760 20.3}[85]
§172 Never was there a time when the enemy worked with such subtlety as at the present, and we need to realize that we are now to be fully prepared to meet whatever may come in the way of apostasy. The Word of God declares that some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.?{MR760 20.3}[85]
§173 我很感谢主赐给我健康和力量。我们必须在主里保持勇气。我在祈求主的百姓现在就要有特别的能力，不会思想或谈论灰心的事。我们需要加强对我们以往在上帝的圣工中享有的经验的信任。我们需要多多祈祷，并向别人说鼓励的话。{MR760 20.4}[86]
§174 I have much to be thankful for in the health and strength that the Lord gives me. We must keep up our courage in the Lord. I am praying that the Lord’s people shall have special power just now and that they will not think or talk discouragement. We need to strengthen our belief in the past experience that we have had in the cause of God. We need to pray much and speak words of encouragement to others.?{MR760 20.4}[86]
§175 我们必须不断地将《启示录》头三章中含有的指示摆在我们的人面前。上帝说：“你要警醒，坚固那剩下将要死的；因我见你的行为，在我上帝面前，没有一样是完全的。所以要回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的、又要遵守，并要悔改。若不警醒，我必临到你那里，如同贼一样。我几时临到，你也决不能知道”（启3:2,3）。{MR760 20.5}[87]
§176 We must keep constantly before our people the instruction contained in the first three chapters of Revelation. God says, “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not?watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee” (Revelation 3:2, 3).?{MR760 20.5}[87]
§177 撒但会利用他最好的计划诱导人引进一些新理论，一些稀奇怪异的想法。这些人会设法证实错误的道理，他们会断章取义误用经文以便使他们的道理看起来像真理。巴伦杰长老所提倡的理论除掉圣所真理，正是仇敌会引进来作为极重要内容的那种东西，要动摇我们离开我们信仰的根基。但我们必须听从这话：“所以要回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的、又要遵守”（启3:3）。当有人做出努力要动摇我们对以往经验的信心并使我们随波逐流时，但愿我们持定我们已经领受的真理。{MR760 21.1}[88]
§178 Satan will use his best plans to lead souls to bring in some new theories, some strange, fanciful ideas. These souls will try to substantiate false doctrines, and they will take texts of Scripture and misapply them in order to make their doctrines appear as truth. The theories that Elder Ballenger advocated, which remove the sanctuary truth, are just such as the enemy would bring in as matters of the utmost importance, to shake us from our foundation of faith. But we must heed the word, “Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast.” When efforts are made to unsettle our faith in our past experience and to send us adrift, let us hold fast to the truth that we have received.?{MR760 21.1}[88]
§179 昨夜我得到指示，正如你在阅读随函副本时会看到的。赐下了警告，要持定以往的经验。“弟兄们，从前我到你们那里去，并没有用高言大智对你们宣传上帝的奥秘。因为我曾定了主意，在你们中间不知道别的，只知道耶稣基督并祂钉十字架。我在你们那里，又软弱又惧怕，又甚战兢。我说的话、讲的道，不是用智慧委婉的言语，乃是用圣灵和大能的明证，叫你们的信不在乎人的智慧，只在乎上帝的大能”（林前2:1-5）。{MR760 21.2}[89]
§180 Last night I received instruction, as you will see when you read the enclosed copies. The warning is given, Hold fast to the past experience. [1 Corinthians 2:1-5?quoted.]?{MR760 21.2}[89]
§181 这是上帝的大能！这才是会经受住磨难考验的，制服反对，消融科学推理，使男男女女赏识已保守我们在稳固根基上的真理。{MR760 21.3}[90]
§182 The power of God! It is this that will bear the test of trial, breaking down opposition, melting away scientific reasoning, and bringing men and women to an appreciation of the truth that has kept us where we are, on a solid foundation.?{MR760 21.3}[90]
§183 愿主大大赐福你们并保守你们在信仰上纯正。（《信函》1906年40号，1月23日，致休斯弟兄和姐妹）{MR760 21.4}[91]
§184 May the Lord bless you largely, and keep you sound in the faith.—Letter 40, 1906. (To Brother and Sister Hughes, January 23, 1906.)?{MR760 21.4}[91]
§185 我很高兴主的福气伴随着你们在圣迭哥的操劳。我会很高兴收到你的信，得知你工作的一些详情。慕道兴趣依然很好吗？就在像圣迭哥这样的地方工作需要完成。我感到很遗憾，因为我看到时间在流逝，成就的却那么少。我对你一直在洛杉矶和圣迭哥做的工作深感兴趣。我很高兴，听说在圣迭哥已经有人接受了真理。{MR760 21.5}[92]
§186 I am much pleased that the blessing of the Lord has accompanied your labors in San Diego. I should be much pleased to get a letter from you giving some particulars of your work. Is the interest still good? It is in just such places as San Diego that work needs to be done. I have felt so sorry, as I have seen time passing, that so little is being accomplished. I am deeply interested in the work you have been doing in Los Angeles and in San Diego. I rejoice to learn that in San Diego souls have accepted the truth.?{MR760 21.5}[92]
§187 我应该非常高兴访问圣迭哥和洛马林达，然而眼下我若离开我的工人们，就会很难完成我想要去做的工作。有大量未发表的材料论到我们在信息中的早期经验应当重新发表。所赐给我的指示是，主的话不应该失传，而应始终牢记，因为我们不断处在心灵中失去真理却将真理以外的东西、会导致混乱的东西收集起来的危险。{MR760 21.6}[93]
§188 I should be very much pleased to visit San Diego and Loma Linda, but it would be very difficult for me to leave my workers just now and still accomplish the work that I desire to do. There is a large pile of unpublished matter relating to our early experience in the message that should be?re-published. The instruction given me is that the words of the Lord should not be lost, but should be ever kept in mind, because we are constantly in danger of losing the truth out of the soul and gathering up things that are out of the line of truth, things that will lead to confusion.?{MR760 21.6}[93]
§189 1844年的时期过去之后所赐给我们的真理，与主垂听我们迫切的祈祷而赐给我们这些真理的时候一样，是确定而不可改变的。主所赐给我的异象是如此显著，以致我们知道所领受的就是真理。这有圣灵为证。亮光，从上帝而来的宝贵亮光，确立了我们今日所持守信仰的要点。要一直将这些真理存记在心。我们必须从不冷不热的温吞吞的状况醒来。我们需要更多的信心，更加恳切地倚赖上帝。我们不可满足于原地踏步。我们必须逐步前进，从亮光到更大的亮光。{MR760 22.1}[94]
§190 The truths given us after the passing of the time in 1844 are just as certain and unchangeable as when the Lord gave them to us in answer to our urgent prayers. The visions that the Lord has given me are so remarkable that we know that what we have accepted is the truth. This was demonstrated by the Holy Spirit. Light, precious light from God, established the main points of our faith as we hold them today. And these truths are to be kept before the mind. We must arouse from the position of lukewarmness, from being neither cold nor hot. We need increased faith and more earnest trust in God. We must not be satisfied to remain where we are. We must advance step by step, from light to greater light.?{MR760 22.1}[94]
§191 我们如果饥渴慕义，主就一定会为我们成就大事。我们是耶稣基督买来的产业，决不可丧失献身与忠诚。我们正与错误和谬论作战，必须将这些错误和谬论从那些还没有遵行所得真光的人心中清除。圣经的真理是我们唯一的保障。我明白和知道我们应当在早期所赐真理亮光的信仰上扎根。那时异端邪说纷至沓来；传道人和医师们提出了许多新的道理。我们就多多祷告查经，圣灵便将真理引到我们的心内。有时我们整夜切心查经，恳求上帝的指引。许多虔诚的男女专为此事而聚集。上帝的能力降在我身上，我就能清楚地界定什么是真理什么是谬论。{MR760 22.2}[95]
§192 The Lord will certainly do great things for us if we will hunger and thirst after righteousness. We are the purchased property of Jesus Christ. We must not lose our devotion, our consecration. We are in conflict with the errors and delusions that have to be swept away from the minds of those who have not acted upon the light they already have. Bible truth is our only safety. I know and understand that we are to be established in the faith, in the light of the truth given us in our early experience. At that time one error after another pressed in upon us, and ministers and doctors brought in new doctrines. We would search the Scriptures with much prayer and the Holy Spirit would bring the truth to our minds. Sometimes whole nights would be devoted to searching the Scriptures and earnestly asking God for guidance. Companies of earnest, devoted men and women assembled for this purpose. The power of God would come upon me and I was enabled clearly to define what is truth and what is error.?{MR760 22.2}[95]
§193 我们信仰的各点既然这样建立，我们的脚就站在坚固的根基上了。我们在圣灵的指示之下，一点一点的领受真理。我被提进异象中，就得到解释。我见到天上的事和圣所的说明，这样，我们就处在有清楚明白的光所照耀的地位上了。{MR760 22.3}[96]
§194 As the points of our faith were thus established, our feet were placed upon a solid foundation. We accepted the truth point by point under the demonstration of the Holy Spirit. I would be taken off in vision and explanations would be given me. I was given illustrations of heavenly things and of the sanctuary, so that we were placed where light was shining on us in clear, distinct rays.?{MR760 22.3}[96]
§195 我著作中的所有真理都是不朽的。上帝从来没有否定祂的话语。人可能会提出一个又一个策略，仇敌会设法引诱人离开真理，但是凡相信上帝藉着怀姊妹说话，将信息赐给她的人，都会免受将在这些末后日子出现的许多诱惑的伤害。{MR760 23.1}[97]
§196 All these truths are immortalized in my writings. The Lord never denies His Word. Men may get up scheme after scheme, and the enemy will seek to seduce souls from the truth, but all who believe that the Lord has spoken through Sister White, and has given her a message, will be safe from the many delusions that will come in in these last days.?{MR760 23.1}[97]
§197 我知道圣所的道理是根据公义与真理的，正如我们多年来所信守的一般。但仇敌却引诱人心转入岔路。当明白真理的人正全神搜集经文来助长那无真理根基的的异端之时，仇敌就喜欢了。那样引用经文乃是误用。因为圣经本是赐下来加强真理，而不是支持异端的。{MR760 23.2}[98]
§198 I know that the sanctuary question stands in righteousness and truth just as we have held it for so many years. It is the enemy that leads minds off on sidetracks. He is pleased when those who know the truth become engrossed in collecting Scriptures to pile up around erroneous theories, which have no foundation in truth. The Scriptures thus used are misapplied; they were not given to substantiate error, but to strengthen truth.?{MR760 23.2}[98]
§199 所以你就看到我们不能同意A.F.巴伦杰弟兄所采取的立场，因为没有谎言是出于真理的。他的证据不得其所，尽管他可能会诱导人们相信他关于圣所的理论，但这并不证明他的理论是对的。我们半个世纪以来有一个清楚明确的见证要作。我的著作中所采取的立场是真理。圣灵向我们显明了这真理，我们知道巴伦杰弟兄的立场并不符合上帝的道。他的理论是一种欺人的理论，他误用圣经。我们不得不一再对付他一直在介绍的那种理论。{MR760 23.3}[99]
§200 So you see that it is impossible for us to have any agreement with the positions taken by Brother A. F. Ballenger, for no lie is of the truth. His proofs do not belong where he places them, and although he may lead minds to believe his theory in regard to the sanctuary, this is no evidence that his theory is true. We have had a plain and decided testimony to bear for half a century. The positions taken in my books are truth. The truth was revealed to us by the Holy Spirit, and we know that Brother Ballenger’s position is not according to the Word of God. This theory is a deceiving theory and he misapplies Scriptures. Theories of the kind that he has been presenting, we have had to meet again and again.?{MR760 23.3}[99]
§201 我很感恩，我的书籍中含有的指示确立了现代真理。这些书是在圣灵的明证之下写的。我用心灵和声音赞美主，我祈求祂带领那些愿意被带领的人进入一切的真理。我赞美祂，因为祂如此奇妙地保留了我的性命直到此时，好传达我已传达了半个世纪的有关我们信仰要点的同样的信息。{MR760 23.4}[100]
§202 I am thankful that the instruction contained in my books establishes present truth for this time. These books were written under the demonstration of the Holy Spirit. I praise the Lord with heart and soul and voice, and I pray that He will lead into all truth those who will be led. I praise Him that He has so wonderfully spared my life up to this time, to bear the same message upon the important points of our faith that I have borne for half a century.?{MR760 23.4}[100]
§203 我的健康状况良好，我的头脑很清晰。为此我赞美主。我通常从早上两三点钟一直写到晚上六七点钟。起床后我用海绵擦浴，穿衣，然后生火。我通常全天写作。耶和华本为善，当受大赞美。“我的心哪，你要称颂耶和华！凡在我里面的，也要称颂祂的圣名”（诗103:1）！（《信函》1906年50号，致W.W.辛普森，1906年1月30日）{MR760 23.5}[101]
§204 My health is good and my mind clear. For this I praise the Lord. Generally I write from two or three o’clock in the morning until six or seven at night. On rising I take a sponge bath, dress, and then build my fire. Usually I write all day. The Lord is good and greatly to be praised. “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name” (Psalm 103:1).—Letter 50, 1906. (To W. W. Simpson, January 30, 1906.)?{MR760 23.5}[101]
§205 我蒙指示，我们不要参与各地不久将传来的有关招魂术表现的任何争辩。此外，我要指示负责期刊的人不要在《评论与通迅》、《时兆》或任何其它安息日复临信徒的期刊栏目上发表试图解释这些诡辩学说的文章。我们无论何时讨论敌人的诡辩学说，都处在危险之中。发表涉及这些诡辩学说的文章乃诱捕人心的一张网罗。不要去理睬这些学说，并且警告大家不要去读。你们的解释将没有什么效果。不要理睬这些学说。不要设法揭露其矛盾或谬误。不要理它们。{MR760 24.1}[102]
§206 I am instructed that we are not to enter into any controversy over the spiritualistic representations that are fast coming in from every quarter. Further than this, I am to give those in charge of our papers instruction not to publish in the columns of the?Review and Herald, the?Signs of the Times, or any other papers published by Seventh-day Adventists, articles attempting to explain these sophistries. We are in danger whenever we discuss the sophistries of the enemy. The publication of articles dealing with these sophistries is a snare for souls. Let these theories alone and warn all not to read them. Your explanations will amount to nothing. Let the theories alone. Do not try to show the inconsistency or fallacy of them. Let them alone.?{MR760 24.1}[102]
§207 不要在讲道中或期刊文章中讲论这些学说从而宣扬罪恶。主说，不要对它们进行解释。要清楚而明确地正面宣扬真理。你们担不起研究或驳斥这些虚假的学说的责任，圣经吩咐要传扬真理。在讨论这些谬论的事上，已经浪费了许多时间。我们发表期刊的目的不是为了处理这种问题。我们的期刊应当充满论述圣经主题的文章，充满实用性的真理，写作风格如此简明以致孩童和平民都不会误解。{MR760 24.2}[103]
§208 Do not perpetuate evil by talking of these theories in sermons or by publishing in our papers articles regarding them. The Lord says, Let them be unexplained. Present the affirmative of truth plainly, clearly, and decidedly. You cannot afford to study or combat these false theories. Present the truth, It is written. The time spent in dealing with these fallacies is so much time lost. Our papers are not published for the purpose of dealing with such subjects. Articles on Bible subjects, full of practical truth, and written in so simple a style that the children and the common people cannot misunderstand them, are to fill our papers.?{MR760 24.2}[103]
§209 论述这些问题的文章中所引用的作者们很喜欢将他们的观点这样介绍给我们的人。然而这是在撒播稗子。我们的传道人并没有蒙赐予讨论这些招魂术题目的工作。他们应当严格持守圣经真理，“经上记着说。”他们应当介绍我们信仰的缘由，决不要复制会不断出现的诱人异端。不要花时间研究这些诱人的理论。仇敌就站在那些宣扬他观点的人近旁。{MR760 24.3}[104]
§210 The writers who are quoted in articles discussing these subjects are much pleased to have their views thus introduced to our people. But this is sowing tares. Our ministers are not given the work of discussing these subjects of spiritualistic science. They are to keep strictly to Bible truth, It is written. They are to present the reasons of our faith, and never reproduce the seductive heresies that will continually appear. No time or study is to be given to these seducing theories. The enemy stands close beside those who proclaim his sentiments.?{MR760 24.3}[104]
§211 要让圣经真理在我们的期刊上得到介绍。要说明我们信仰的缘由。要用最愉快、有希望、令人鼓舞的文章劝人默默查考圣经。要敦促我们的人对上帝的道熟悉起来。在他们的学习中，我们各学校的学生们应该牢记部分圣言。时候将到，许多人将被剥夺书本的圣言。但是如果将这圣言印在我们的记忆中，是没有人能夺去的；它还是一个法宝，将对付最恶劣形式的错谬和罪恶。{MR760 24.4}[105]
§212 Let Bible truth be presented in our papers. Give the reasons of our faith. In the most cheerful, hopeful, encouraging articles recommend the diligent searching of the Scriptures. Urge our people to become familiar with the Word of God. In their study, the students in our schools should commit to memory portions of the Word. The time will come when many will be deprived of the written Word. But if this Word is printed in the memory, no one can take it from us. It is a talisman that will meet the worst forms of error and evil.?{MR760 24.4}[105]
§213 邪恶的道理会因诱人谬论的发表而得到累积。使这些谬论成为讲道的题目，会使一些思想进入许多人心里，要是不将这些谬论摆在他们面前，他们原本决不会有那些思想。要教导青年远避涉及这种题目的出版物。不要印刷一篇论述这种题目的文章；因为你们讨论这些东西必定遭受损失。这样就撒下了种子，会生长并结出稗子。{MR760 25.1}[106]
§214 Evil doctrines will be accumulated by the publication of seductive fallacies. To make these fallacies the subject of discourse is to put into the minds of many thoughts that would never have been there had not these errors been brought out before them. Let the youth be taught to shun publications dealing with this subject. Do not print one article with it, for you cannot without loss enter into these things. Thus seed is sown that will spring up and bring forth tares.?{MR760 25.1}[106]
§215 我们所需要的是真理，现代真理。要让真理在其不可测的优越中、在使真信仰与众不同的所有尊严和纯正中发出光来。熟悉上帝的道会加给我们力量抵抗邪恶。要高举髑髅地的十字架。这会斥责外邦哲学和异教的偶像崇拜。要将髑髅地的十字架举得高而又高，作为基督教已鉴定的现实。要让我们所有的工作、我们每一项事业，都宣扬福音的神圣原则。{MR760 25.2}[107]
§216 What we need is truth, present truth. Let the truth shine forth in its unmeasured superiority, in all the dignity and purity that distinguishes true religion. An acquaintance with the Word of God will strengthen us to resist evil. Hold up the cross of Calvary. This will rebuke heathen philosophy and pagan idolatry. Lift up the cross of Calvary higher and still higher as the identified reality of Christianity. Let all our works, our every enterprise, show forth the sacred principles of the gospel.?{MR760 25.2}[107]
§217 要用短篇文章介绍圣经真理，使之非常有趣。“你们查考圣经（或作：应当查考圣经），因你们以为内中有永生”（约5:39）。我有时觉得这节经文措词奇怪，但现在完全清楚了。要思量你所读的；因为在圣经中“你们以为内中有永生；给我作见证的就是这经”（同上）。{MR760 25.3}[108]
§218 Bible truth is to be presented in short articles made intensely interesting. “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life” (John 5:39). I have sometimes thought that text strangely worded, but it is all clear now. Think on what you read, for in the Scriptures “ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” Ibid. .?{MR760 25.3}[108]
§219 我们现在应当为来生下殷勤的工夫。主只会再容忍充斥世界的严重罪恶一点点时间了。结局会多么突然地来到啊，令世界在他们不断增多的罪孽中惊讶。{MR760 25.4}[109]
§220 We are now to make diligent work for eternity. Only for a very short time longer will the Lord bear with the gross wickedness that fills the world. Oh how suddenly will the end come, surprising the world in their increasing iniquity.?{MR760 25.4}[109]
§221 我不得不对我们在巴特尔克里克的人说，一个我一直关心的人已经撒下了不信的种子。我已祈愿他完全改变，在基督耶稣里成为一个新造的人。我已看到他一直在别的国家撒播的种子，他的心定意从事这种工作。有人给我来信，说明工作正因某某的影响而变得艰难，传道人们在大挫折之下作工，因为谣言已经流传。这会迫使我做出一切可能的努力去阻止他俘虏容易受骗的可怜人。{MR760 25.5}[110]
§222 I have to say to our people in Battle Creek, The seeds of unbelief have been sown by one in whom I have always had an intense interest. I have prayed that he shall be entirely changed and made a new man in Christ Jesus. I have seen the seeds he has been sowing in other countries, and his heart is set to do this work. Letters come to me that the work is being made hard because of the influence of _____, and the ministers are working under great discouragement because of the reports that have been circulated. This will compel me to make every effort possible to prevent him from taking captive poor souls that are easily deceived.?{MR760 25.5}[110]
§223 在夜间时分我蒙指示，因为那个已在巴特尔克里克建立的大疗养院，问题会现出，将不得不从现在开始予以更加果断地对付。我岂能保持沉默，让我们的人遭受在那里从事医疗工作的领导人们所发挥的影响呢？不能！那些接受一些人所持有的理论的人肯定会被带入歧途。某某医生和他的同事们已经患上了一种招魂术观点的病，他们若不改变，就必在不远的将来被影响到与圣经所说会在这些末后的日子见到的那种行奇事的能力一致。“必有人离弃真道，听从那引诱人的邪灵和鬼魔的道理”（提前4:1）。那些一直在用《活殿》一书中看似卓越实则是招魂术的理论喂养自己心智的人，处在极其险恶的境地。{MR760 25.6}[111]
§224 In the night season I am instructed that issues will arise that will have to be met from now on more decidedly because of the large sanitarium that has been erected in Battle Creek. Can I hold my peace and allow our?people to be exposed to the influences exerted by the leading men in the medical work there? No, no! Those who accept the theories held by some will surely be led astray. Dr._____ and his associates are already diseased with a species of spiritualistic sentiments, and unless they change they will in the near future be swayed into accord with the wonderful miracle-working power that the Word of God has said will be seen in these last days. “Some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1). Those who have been feeding their minds on the supposedly excellent but spiritualistic theories of?Living Temple?are in a very dangerous place.?{MR760 25.6}[111]
§225 过去五十年来我一直在领受关于天上事物的信息。然而所赐给我的指示现在却被别人用来辩护和认可《活殿》中具有误导人性质的理论。愿主教导我如何对付这种事。如有必要，我会指斥所有这种工作是直接来自撒但的，要使上帝所赐给我的话为谎言作证。{MR760 26.1}[112]
§226 For the past fifty years I have been receiving intelligence regarding heavenly things. But the instruction given me has now been used by others to justify and endorse theories in?Living Temple?that are of a character to mislead. May the Lord teach me how to meet such things. If necessary I can charge all such work as coming directly from Satan to make the words God has given me testify to a lie.?{MR760 26.1}[112]
§227 那什维尔，7月4日。我们读了坦尼长老在《医疗布道士》上所写关于圣所问题的文章，感到很难过。仇敌已经胜过了一位传道人。这位传道人若能避开撒但目前对巴特尔克里克所施加的诱人影响，就还可以站在有利的地位上。{MR760 26.2}[113]
§228 Nashville, July 4—We are very sorry to read the article written by Elder Tenney in the?Medical Missionary?on the sanctuary question. The enemy has obtained the victory over one minister. If this minister had remained away from the seducing influences that Satan is exerting at the present time in Battle Creek, he might yet be standing on vantage ground.?{MR760 26.2}[113]
§229 我们很遗憾地看到大批信徒聚集到巴特尔克里克的后果。那些一贯相信已使我们成为安息日复临信徒的基本真理的传道人；那些曾来到巴特尔克里克教导并高举圣经真理的传道人，到了年老白发苍苍的时候，却转离圣经的伟大真理，接受不信的观点。这意味着下一步就会否认有位格的上帝，拆毁圣经中明白启示的信仰的壁垒。圣所问题是我们信仰的基础。{MR760 26.3}[114]
§230 We are very sorry to see the result of gathering a large number to Battle Creek. Ministers who have been believers in the foundation truths that have made us what we are—Seventh-day Adventists; ministers who went to Battle Creek to teach and strengthen the truths of the Bible, are now, when old and gray-headed, turning from the grand truths of the Bible and accepting infidel sentiments. This means that the next step will be a denial of a personal God, pulling down the bulwarks of the faith that is plainly revealed in the Scriptures. The sanctuary question is the foundation of our faith.?{MR760 26.3}[114]
§231 圣经警告说：“必有人离弃真道，听从那引诱人的邪灵和鬼魔的道理”（提前4:1）。我们现在再说：父母们哪，要使你们的孩子远离巴特尔克里克。我们的一些医疗布道工人正在变得受背信影响。似是而非的异端一直在把握人心，它的线已经交织在图案中。谁要为此事负责呢？给青年男女的教育在他们心中留下了一种引诱人的影响。一位父亲写道他送到巴特尔克里克的两个孩子，一个现在是个无信仰的人，另一个已经放弃了真理。{MR760 26.4}[115]
§232 The warning is given in the Word, “Some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1). We now repeat, Parents, keep your children away from Battle Creek. Some of our medical missionary workers are becoming leavened with infidelity. Specious heresy has been taking hold of minds and its threads have been woven?into the pattern of the figure. Who is responsible for giving young men and women an education that has left a seducing influence upon their minds? One father writes that of his two children who were sent to Battle Creek, one is now an infidel and the other has given up the truth.?{MR760 26.4}[115]
§233 一直有不同的人写给我这种信。主已给我警告要传给父母们，你们的孩子若在巴特尔克里克，就要立即叫他们离开。撒但已带着大能力下来，要用各样出于不义的诡诈行事。（《文稿》1906年20号，〈务要传道〉，2月7日）{MR760 27.1}[116]
§234 Letters such as this have been coming from different ones. The warning is given me to give to parents, If your children are in Battle Creek, call them away without delay. Satan has come down with great power to work with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.—Manuscript 20, 1906. (“Preach the Word,” February 7, 1906.)?{MR760 27.1}[116]
§235 我有话要对你和其他在巴特尔克里克的人说。我要逐步调查事实，正如我蒙圣灵引导一样。我蒙指示看到在巴特尔克里克有一些人正在被彼此联系互相支持的人所欺骗。我能提到一些个人的名字，但这可能不必要。{MR760 27.2}[117]
§236 I have words to speak to you and to others in Battle Creek. I shall go over the ground step by step, just as I am led by the Holy Spirit. It is presented to me that there are some in Battle Creek who are being deceived by men linked together to support one another. I could name individuals, but this may not be necessary.?{MR760 27.2}[117]
§237 我收到了你最近的信。你写得像一个诚实人，我相信你是真诚的，但你是一个大大受骗的人。在过去，我非常关心你的福利。我视你为一个敬上帝并持守祂诫命的人。然而当你最近这次离开澳大利亚，来到巴特尔克里克，并将你的利益与疗养院的医生们联合在一起的时候，你犯了一个严重的错误。你在这件事上随从了自己的冲动而不是行在上帝的旨意中。{MR760 27.3}[118]
§238 Your recent letter was received. You write like an honest man, and I believe you to be sincere, but you are a man greatly deceived. In the past, I have had a great interest in your welfare. I have regarded you as a man who feared God and kept His commandments. But when you left Australia and came to Battle Creek this last time, and linked your interests with the physicians at the Sanitarium, you made a grave mistake. You followed your own impulses in this matter instead of moving in the counsel of God.?{MR760 27.3}[118]
§239 我们生活的这个历史时期是人们必须寻求上帝的旨意而不是被对基督没有真实信心的人们诱导离开自己的职责岗位和远离真理的时候。谁也不要认为随从人的冲动是安全的。坦尼弟兄，你已被拉走离开了真理，远过于你所知道的，你与在巴特尔克里克的人们联络已经对你造成大害。你以往经验的光在熄灭。{MR760 27.4}[119]
§240 We are living in an age of this earth’s history when men must seek counsel of God and not be led away from their posts of duty, and away from the truth, by men who have not a real faith in Christ. Let no one regard it safe to follow human impulse. Brother Tenney, you have been drawn away from the truth more than you have known, and your connection with men in Battle Creek has been to your great injury. The light of your past experience is going out.?{MR760 27.4}[119]
§241 读了你在《医疗布道》上所发表的一些文章，尤其是关于圣所问题的文章，我既惊讶又难过。这些文章表明你已经偏离了真道。你扰乱了我们信徒的思想。正确理解天上圣所的工作是我们信仰的基础。{MR760 27.5}[120]
§242 I have been surprised and made sad to read some of your articles in the?Medical Missionary, and especially those on the sanctuary question. These articles show that you have been departing from the faith. You have helped in confusing the understanding of our people. The correct understanding of the ministration in the heavenly sanctuary is the foundation of our faith.?{MR760 27.5}[120]
§243 你若能避开撒但目前对巴特尔克里克所施加的影响，就可能站在有利的地位上。{MR760 28.1}[121]
§244 If you had remained away from the seducing influences that Satan is exerting at the present time in Battle Creek, you might yet be standing on vantage ground.?{MR760 28.1}[121]
§245 我们很遗憾地看到大批信徒聚集到巴特尔克里克的后果。那些一贯相信已使我们成为安息日复临信徒的基本真理的传道人；那些曾来到巴特尔克里克教导并高举圣经真理的传道人，到了年老白发苍苍的时候，却转离圣经的伟大真理，接受不信的观点。这意味着下一步就会否认一位有位格的上帝，拆毁圣经中明白启示的信仰的壁垒。圣经警告说：“必有人离弃真道，听从那引诱人的邪灵和鬼魔的道理”（提前4:1）。{MR760 28.2}[122]
§246 We are very sorry to see the result of gathering a large number to Battle Creek. Ministers who have been believers in the foundation truths that have made us what we are—Seventh-day Adventists—ministers who went to Battle Creek to teach and uphold the truth of the Bible, are now, when old and grey-headed, turning from the grand truths of the Bible and accepting infidel sentiments. This means that the next step will be a denial of a personal God, pulling down the bulwarks of the faith that is plainly revealed in the Scriptures. In the Word is given the warning, “Some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 1:4).?{MR760 28.2}[122]
§247 我必须再次对我们的人说：要使你们的孩子远离巴特尔克里克。我们的一些医疗布道工人正在变得受背信影响。似是而非的异端一直在把握人心，它的线已经交织在图案中。谁要为此事负责呢？给青年男女的教育在他们心中留下了一种引诱人的影响。一位父亲写道他送到巴特尔克里克的两个孩子，一个现在是个无信仰的人，另一个已经放弃了对复临信息的信仰。{MR760 28.3}[123]
§248 I must again say to our people, Keep your children away from Battle Creek. Some of our medical missionary workers are becoming leavened with infidelity. Specious heresy has been taking hold of minds and its threads have been woven into the pattern of the figure. Who is responsible for giving young men and young women an education that has left an evil influence upon their minds? One father writes that of his two children who were sent to Battle Creek, one is now an infidel and the other has given up his faith in the Advent message.?{MR760 28.3}[123]
§249 那些没有行在本会信息之光中的人，可能收集我著作中恰好讨他们喜欢并与他们人意的判断一致的言论，藉着将这些言论脱离上下文并将之放在他们人意的推理旁边，使我的著作看起来支持它们所谴责的东西。我嘱咐你不要做这种工作。这样利用我的著作，同时拒绝我所传达要纠正错误的信息，乃是误导人，前后矛盾的。{MR760 28.4}[124]
§250 Those who are not walking in the light of the message may gather up statements from my writings that happen to please them, and that agree with their human judgment, and by separating these statements from their connection and placing them beside human reasonings, make it appear that my writings uphold that which they condemn. I charge you not to do this work. To use my writings thus, and at the same time reject the message which I bear to correct errors, is misleading and inconsistent.?{MR760 28.4}[124]
§251 我感谢主，惟一的真神上帝还活着。耶稣基督亲自取了人性，为要使人类藉着信心可以与上帝的性情有分，从而脱离世上从情欲而来的败坏。{MR760 28.5}[125]
§252 I thank the Lord that the only true and living God still lives. Jesus Christ took humanity upon Himself to make it possible for human beings, through faith, to be partakers of the divine nature and thus escape the corruption that is in the world through lust.?{MR760 28.5}[125]
§253 结局很近了，它会出人意外地来到，好像夜间的贼一样，我们若不警醒，就必被发现没有准备好，我们的灯要熄灭了，没有准备好迎接新郎。（《信函》1906年208号，致G.C.坦尼，6月29日)?{MR760 28.6}[126]
§254 The end is so near that it will come unexpectedly, as a thief in the night, and if we do not watch, we shall be found unready, with our lamps going out, unprepared to meet the Bridegroom.—Letter 208, 1906. (To G. C. Tenney, June 29, 1906.)?{MR760 28.6}[126]
§255 在夜间的异象中，我似乎非常恳切地在一群人面前讲话。我心头有一个重担。我正向那群人讲先知以西结的信息，论到主的守望者的义务。“耶和华的话临到我说：人子啊，你要告诉本国的子民说：我使刀剑临到哪一国，那一国的民从他们中间选立一人为守望的。他见刀剑临到那地，若吹角警戒众民，凡听见角声不受警戒的，刀剑若来除灭了他，他的血就必归到自己的头上。他听见角声，不受警戒，他的罪必归到自己的身上；他若受警戒，便是救了自己的性命。倘若守望的人见刀剑临到，不吹角，以致民不受警戒，刀剑来杀了他们中间的一个人，他虽然死在罪孽之中，我却要向守望的人讨他丧命的血。人子啊，我照样立你作以色列家守望的人。所以你要听我口中的话，替我警戒他们。我对恶人说：‘恶人哪，你必要死！’你以西结若不开口警戒恶人，使他离开所行的道，这恶人必死在罪孽之中，我却要向你讨他丧命的血。倘若你警戒恶人转离所行的道，他仍不转离，他必死在罪孽之中，你却救自己脱离了罪。人子啊，你要对以色列家说：‘你们常说：我们的过犯罪恶在我们身上，我们必因此消灭，怎能存活呢？’你对他们说，主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓，我断不喜悦恶人死亡，惟喜悦恶人转离所行的道而活。以色列家啊，你们转回，转回吧！离开恶道，何必死亡呢”（结33:1-11）？{MR760 29.1}[127]
§256 In visions of the night I seemed to be speaking with great earnestness before an assembly of people. A heavy burden was upon my soul. I was presenting before those gathered together the message of the prophet Ezekiel regarding the duties of the Lord’s watchmen. [Ezekiel 33:1-11?quoted]?{MR760 29.1}[127]
§257 当有消息传来，耶路撒冷被侵略被包围时，先知曾奉上帝的命令停止向犹太人说预言。在《以西结书》第二十四章中记录着所赐给他的话，刑罚要临到一切拒绝耶和华话语的人。百姓要从耶路撒冷被除掉，并受死亡和被掳的刑罚。不会抽签决定谁将得救谁被毁灭。“主耶和华如此说：祸哉！这流人血的城，就是长锈的锅。其中的锈未曾除掉，须要将肉块从其中一一取出来，不必为它拈阄。城中所流的血倒在净光的磐石上，不倒在地上，用土掩盖。……所以主耶和华如此说：祸哉！这流人血的城，我也必大堆火柴，添上木柴，使火着旺，将肉煮烂，把汤熬浓，使骨头烤焦；……这锅劳碌疲乏，所长的大锈仍未除掉；这锈就是用火也不能除掉。在你污秽中有淫行，我洁净你，你却不洁净。你的污秽再不能洁净，直等我向你发的忿怒止息。我耶和华说过的必定成就，必照话而行，必不返回，必不顾惜，也不后悔。人必照你的举动行为审判你。这是主耶和华说的。耶和华的话又临到我说：人子啊，我要将你眼目所喜爱的忽然取去，你却不可悲哀哭泣，也不可流泪，只可叹息，不可出声，不可办理丧事；头上仍勒裹头巾，脚上仍穿鞋，不可蒙着嘴唇，也不可吃吊丧的食物。于是我将这事早晨告诉百姓，晚上我的妻就死了。次日早晨我便遵命而行。百姓问我说：你这样行与我们有什么关系，你不告诉我们吗？我回答他们：耶和华的话临到我说：‘你告诉以色列家，主耶和华如此说：我必使我的圣所，就是你们势力所夸耀、眼里所喜爱、心中所爱惜的被亵渎，并且你们所遗留的儿女必倒在刀下。那时，你们必行我仆人所行的，不蒙着嘴唇，也不吃吊丧的食物。你们仍要头上勒裹头巾，脚上穿鞋；不可悲哀哭泣。你们必因自己的罪孽相对叹息，渐渐消灭。以西结必这样为你们作预兆；凡他所行的，你们也必照样行。那事来到，你们就知道我是主耶和华’”（结24:6,7,9,10,12-24）。{MR760 29.2}[128]
§258 The prophet had by the command of God ceased from prophesying to the Jews just at the time when the news came that Jerusalem was invaded and siege laid to her. In the twenty-fourth chapter Ezekiel records the representation that was given to him of the punishment that would come upon all who would refuse the word of the Lord. The people were removed from Jerusalem and punished by death and captivity. No lot was to fall upon it to determine who should be saved and who destroyed. [Ezekiel 24:6, 7, 9, 10, 12-24?quoted.]?{MR760 29.2}[128]
§259 我奉命将这些话摆在虽有亮光和证据，行事却直接违背亮光的人面前。主必要刑罚那些不愿接受祂的劝诫和警告如所犯的错误一样明显的人。那些设法掩盖自己的错误同时却秘密行事敌对上帝旨意之人的目的会充分显露。真理将得到维护。上帝将显明祂是上帝。{MR760 29.3}[129]
§260 I am instructed to present these words before those who have had light and evidence, but who have walked directly contrary to the light. The Lord will make the punishment of those who will not receive His admonitions and warnings as broad as the wrong has been. The purposes of those who have tried to cover their wrong while they have secretly worked against the purposes of God will be fully revealed. Truth will be vindicated. God will make manifest that He is God.?{MR760 29.3}[129]
§261 有一种邪恶的精神正在教会中运行，争取每一个机会要使上帝的律法无效。虽然主可能不会将那些叛乱已久的人惩罚致死，但亮光却决不会再以这种令人信服的能力照在顽梗反对真理的人身上了。关于何为真理何为谬论，已有充足的证据赐给每一个人。但有些人身上的罪恶的欺骗势力却很强大，以致他们不愿接受证据并藉悔改作出回应。{MR760 29.4}[130]
§262 There is a spirit of wickedness at work in the church that is striving at every opportunity to make void the law of God. While the Lord may not punish unto death those who have carried their rebellion to great lengths, the light will never again shine with such convincing power upon the stubborn opposers of truth. Sufficient evidence is given to every soul regarding what is truth and what is error. But the deceptive power of evil upon some is so great that they will not receive the evidence and respond to it by repentance.?{MR760 29.4}[130]
§263 长期持续反抗真理会使最容易受感动的心变得刚硬。那些拒绝真理圣灵的人，置身于一种反对上帝的话语和作为的精神控制之下。他们可能暂时继续教导真理的一些方面，但他们不肯接受上帝所赐的全部亮光，这不久就会使他们处于做假守望者之工的地步。{MR760 29.5}[131]
§264 A long-continued resistance of truth will harden the most impressionable heart. Those who reject the Spirit of truth place themselves under the control of a spirit that is opposed to the word and work of God. For a time they may continue to teach some phases of the truth, but their refusal to accept all the light God sends will after a time place them where they will do the work of a false watchman.?{MR760 29.5}[131]
§265 现代真理圣工的利益要求那些自称站在主一边的人竭尽全力维护复临信息，这是所临到世界最重要的信息。那些作现代真理代表的人如今把光阴和精力花在企图回答怀疑者提出的问题上，就会不明智地使用自己的光阴。这不会消除怀疑。我们工作的主旨现在并不是要为那些虽然有丰富的亮光和证据，却仍站在不信一边的人效劳。上帝吩咐我们要把光阴和力量花在向人们传讲信息的工作上，这些信息曾在1843和1844年激动人心。{MR760 30.1}[132]
§266 The interests of the cause of present truth demand that those who profess to stand on the Lord’s side shall bring into exercise all their powers to vindicate the advent message, the most important message that will ever come to the world. For those who stand as representatives of present truth to use time and energy now in attempting to answer the questions of the doubting ones, will be an unwise use of their time. It will not remove the doubts. The burden of our work now is not to labor for those who, although they have had abundant light and evidence, still continue on the unbelieving side. God bids us give our time and strength to the work of preaching to the people the messages that stirred men and women in 1843 and 1844.?{MR760 30.1}[132]
§267 我们现在要不断地作工，把真理摆在犹太人和外邦人面前。我们不要再三去同一个地方坚固那些决不应怀疑第三位天使信息之人的信心，而要努力把真理传给那些从未听过的人。上帝号召我们把真理传达给所有的人。这真理使我们成为安息日复临信徒。{MR760 30.2}[133]
§268 We are now to labor unceasingly to get the truth before Jew and Gentile. Instead of going over and over the same ground to establish the faith of those who should never have accepted a doubt regarding the third angel’s message, let our efforts be given to making known the truth to those who have never heard it. God calls upon us to make known to all men the truths that have made us what we are—Seventh-day Adventists.?{MR760 30.2}[133]
§269 上帝今日正向祂的子民讲话，正如祂曾藉着摩西向以色列人讲话一样，说：“谁属耶和华”（见出32:26）？我的弟兄们，要站在主吩咐你的地方。离开那些虽有亮光再三赐给他们，却仍站在对立面的人。你们不要把宝贵的光阴花在向他们反复讲述他们已经知道的事上，从而丧失带着现代真理信息进入新园地的机会。要开始从事已经赐给我们的工作。要以上帝的道为你们的信息，站在真理的平台上，传扬基督很快就要降临。真理，永恒的真理，必得胜。{MR760 30.3}[134]
§270 God is speaking to His people today as he spoke to Israel through Moses, saying, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” My brethren, take your position where God bids you. Leave alone those who, after light has been repeatedly given them, have taken a stand on the opposite side. You are not to spend precious time in repeating to them what they already know and thus lose your opportunities of entering new fields with the message of present truth. Take up the work which has been given us. With the Word of God as your message, stand on the platform of truth and proclaim the soon coming of Christ. Truth, eternal truth, will prevail.?{MR760 30.3}[134]
§271 现代真理的不同要点已遭质疑和反对达五十多年了。不是真理的新理论已被人当作真理提出来，上帝的灵也已证明其错误。我们提出了信仰的大柱石，圣灵也为它们作见证，尤其是有关圣所的真理。圣灵一再用显著的方式认可了这个道理的传讲。但今日和过去一样，有些人受诱导去发明新的理论，否认上帝圣灵所认可的真理。{MR760 30.4}[135]
§272 For more than half a century the different points of present truth have been questioned and opposed. New theories have been advanced as truth, which were not truth, and the Spirit of God revealed their error. As the great pillars of our faith have been presented, the Holy Spirit has borne witness to them, and especially is this so regarding the truths of the sanctuary question. Over and over again the Holy Spirit has in a marked manner endorsed the preaching of this doctrine. But today, as in the past, some will be led to form new theories and to deny the truths upon which the Spirit of God has placed His approval.?{MR760 30.4}[135]
§273 任何人设法提倡的理论若会使我们离开所赐给我们关于天上圣所服务的亮光，就不可接受他为教师。真正理解圣所问题对我们这班人意味非常。我们就那个问题恳切地寻求主时，亮光就来到了。我在异象中蒙指示看到天上的圣所和圣所的服务，结果我有许多天无法把它讲出来。{MR760 31.1}[136]
§274 Any man who seeks to present theories which would lead us from the light that has come to us on the ministration in the heavenly sanctuary should not be accepted as a teacher. A true understanding of the sanctuary question means much to us as a people. When we were earnestly seeking the Lord for light on that question, light came. In vision I was given such a view of the heavenly sanctuary and the ministration connection with the Holy Place, that for many days I could not speak of it.?{MR760 31.1}[136]
§275 我从上帝所赐给我的亮光得知，过去一直赐下的信息会有一番复兴，因为人们会设法引进新理论，努力证明这些理论是符合圣经的，然而它们却是谬论，若是允许它们有一席之地，就会破坏人们对真理的信心。我们不要接受这些推测，把它们当作真理。不行。我们务必不可从真理的平台除掉我们已经确立的东西。{MR760 31.2}[137]
§276 I know from the light that God has given me that there should be a revival of the messages that have been given in the past, because men will seek to bring in new theories and will try to prove that these theories are Scriptural, whereas they are error which if allowed a place will undermine faith in the truth. We are not to accept these suppositions and pass them along as truth. No, no. We must not move from the platform of truth on which we have been established.?{MR760 31.2}[137]
§277 总是有些人会追求某种新东西，曲解上帝的道，使之支持他们的想法和理论。弟兄们，让我们接受上帝所赐给我们的，圣灵已经教导我们是真理的东西，并且相信之，离开祂的灵所不认可的那些理论吧。（《文稿》1907年125号，〈以西结异象的教训〉，7月4日）[138]
§278 There will always be those who are seeking for something new and who stretch and strain the Word of God to make it support their ideas and theories. Let us, brethren, take the things that God has given us, and which His Spirit has taught us is truth, and believe them, leaving alone those theories which His Spirit has not endorsed.—Manuscript 125, 1907. (“Lessons from the Visions of Ezekiel,” July 4, 1907.)[138]
