FIGHT AGAINST ERROR
You will have to fight hard against error which has already
saturated the world, and it could not be any different since God's adversary
is ruling and influencing men's intellect in accordance with their own
will.
Satan can influence them because their thinking has already turned away
from God and he will keep doing it to spread darkness among men in an
endeavor to extinguish the light of truth. It would be quite easy to live
within truth if people would only allow God Himself to teach them if He
were admitted to all of them. Then there would also be unity in men's
thinking. But as things stand there is great confusion and people are
not aware of the purpose of their life on earth: the maturing of the soul.
All concepts have got confused! There are only few whom God Himself can
offer the truth enlighten their thinking so that they know the purpose
of life on earth. These, however, are unable to get their message through
and enlighten their fellowmen by offering them the pure truth out of God
and exposing the many errors that darken their spirit.
Even in those circles where men want to serve God, the adversary is active
through people in whom there are still traits similar to his own nature.
All these also strive for truth, but do not turn to God directly, but
seek to obtain it in a roundabout way. They associate with beings in the
universe that also still belong to the adversary and guide men in the
wrong direction.
As long as God Himself does not convey truth to the earth -which can also
be done through beings of light possessing the knowledge and accepted
by God - men cannot be offered pure truth and time and again will have
to come to terms with false doctrines. Darkness struggles against the
light, and with the low spiritual level among men darkness will triumph
and the end will be rebanning into matter!
But while God Himself is still speaking to men, He delegates the recipients
of His messages to be active in the spreading of the truth and take His
Word to all who accept it.
You need not be afraid if you meet with hostility, for He Himself is with
you and will guide you to convey the light to all those who are in great
need of it and desire to move in pure truth.
You, who are being taught by God -either directly or through His messengers
- are fully aware of the fact that the doctrine is spoilt and no longer
conforms to the words of Jesus Christ. It has been explained to you why
erroneous thinking has crept in.
Now you are also meant to pass on the pure doctrine as given to you, and
truth is going to force its way. Whoever receives it must also spread
it and do everything possible to expose error as the work of god's adversary.
You will be helped in every way, for since it is His will. He will direct
your thoughts in such a way that everyone is given that which he needs
for the benefit of his soul.
Error does not lead to Him, and even if people are good and do not sin
consciously, if their thinking is wrong they will not gain beatitude in
the beyond until they have recognized the pure truth and freed themselves
from error and falsehood. For God Himself is 'eternal truth' and only
to be found through truth Error and falsehood can never ever lead a person
to the goal -the union with Him, the glorious everlasting life.
