FALSE DOCTRINES AND DOGMAS

It is My Will that you should spread the truth abroad and expose false doctrines that have crept into My Word. This can only be done by confrontation with the pure truth. You must keep asking yourselves who can guarantee you the truth of what is submitted to you as My doctrine.

You cannot simply accept words of man as the truth well knowing that they may be influenced by My adversary who is always anxious to confuse mankind. If you really care about the truth and do not want to walk in error, you can ask Me for clarification and you are sure to receive it.

And the first thing I shall point out to you is that you possess a free will which must never be kept under pressure or coerced either by good or by evil influences, and that you will have to account for the way you have made use of this will.

Consequently, every doctrine, which as a dogma forced you to accept it, is against My Will. You are free to determine for yourselves what you want to believe, and nobody has a right to curtail your religious liberty.

Thus you are free to compare the various faiths with each other so as to find the one that suits you best.

I shall always speak to those who are searching for the pure truth. All the others are indifferent and do not care whether the pure truth is presented to them or not. They are satisfied with the doctrines which have been added by men to My Gospel, but which could be recognised as totally absurd if people would only care to investigate. By forcing men into obedience, eliminating any personal religious opinion, My adversary has made a tight noose, as nobody dares to have an opinion of his own believing it to be a great sin.

But it is essential to set the will of God first and, therefore, I draw your attention to the free will, which you will have to give up if you submit to the commandments of man.

Thus the 'working of the spirit' within man, the sole means of receiving pure truth, is unknown to you. You do not believe that I Myself will guide you into the truth, and you reject all the knowledge gained this way. But only this knowledge is the truth and it exposes many false doctrines.

However, as long as you submit to a commandment of Satan that you may not decide freely for a doctrine which you have recognised as true, as long as you cannot free yourselves from that which I never demand of you, you will be slaves - completely unfree!
For I shall not force anybody to accept the truth which he does not recognise as such, since I have given man a free will.

You often bring up the argument that men should be educated in one creed. But then you should keep to the two commandments, which I Myself taught men on earth. Teach them only the commandments of love and you are doing everything that is needed for men to attain maturity of their souls. Then it will soon show who has the earnest will to live in love, and he will also experience the working of My Spirit within him. He will be introduced to truth and gain knowledge about the idea and purpose of creation and of the life on earth and above all the reason and significance of the act of salvation by Jesus Christ without whom no man can win beatitude.

You, however, are not Christians that are alive and practising an imitation of Christ, Christians, whom I can consider members of My church that was founded by Me, are convinced of the power of the salvation work, otherwise you would be hearing the voice of My Spirit which can enlighten you about the many false doctrines in the world which I shall always fight.

Truth alone leads to Me, and only truth can win you beatitude. And, therefore, I shall keep conveying the truth to My representatives on earth ordering them to spread it abroad, for man has to walk in truth if he wants beatitude! (John 7:38)

AMEN
