Trust No One! — 4 Comments

  1. I appreciate the thoughts expressed in this post. It is knowing the Father and his Son and having a living connection with them through their Spirit that is life. Knowing about God from second-hand sources is nothing more than religious fiction.

  2. How many sit at the table and let another eat for them? Yet many church members do not study the Bible for themselves.

    I have sat and listened to sermons that could only be classified as heresy by learned men. Scripture has been twisted to mean something that God never intended. I don't know how many accepted those ideas, but the Bible did not support them.

    Though such examples are (hopefully)rare, they exist, and if not diligent to know God's will for ourselves, deception is knocking on our door, and many have been subverted by "trusted" speakers who came with endorsements. Yet Jesus Himself has warned us to "Take heed that no man deceive you". He added that "many will come in My name...and deceive many"(see also Jer 17:5). Ellen also has warned that many will stand in our pulpits teaching falsehood. She also wrote that it was by this means(heresy from within) that God would "arouse His people...separating the chaff from the wheat".

    Well said: "trust no one!".

  3. As one who attended Adventist schools from elementary school to college, I find this piece very fascinating. Many of us who went through our educational system where the Bible is part of the curriculum are so sure we know every scripture that we often do not cross-check Bible facts and that is a costly mistake. I have discovered that many of the concepts I memorized in school for grades have a much different meaning when I approach them in a prayerful humble spirit. As Adventists, our stance should be to search the scriptures until we can personalize and internalize its teachings and put those teachings into practice.
