that was true!
But God was calling me to a VERY SPECIAL COMMISSION. In many
ways He had prepared me in certain experiences--most UNUSUAL
experiences--in early life from age 16 for my future calling.
In other words, God brought me to a WILLINGNESS to completely
OPEN MY MIND to His revelation of TRUTH--even though it was often
truth I did not like to receive.
I know of NO OTHER who has ever become founder of a religion,
or a religious leader of ANY KIND, who ever came INTO THE TRUTH
in the way God BROUGHT ME INTO IT.
Always, it seems, men start out in religious or Bible study,
with SO MANY PREVIOUS FALSE BELIEFS, that what new knowledge they
do learn is all MIXED UP WITH SO MUCH previously believed ERRONEOUS
teachings, they never do come to receive GOD'S TRUTH pure and
simple, just AS IT IS!
At a luncheon today, I was saying that the MOST IGNORANT
people in the world today are the HIGHEST EDUCATED! That is true
BECAUSE this world's education--especially its higher education in
the great universities--is almost altogether BASED on the FALSE
PREMISE of the EVOLUTIONARY THEORY. They have been "educated" by
being TAUGHT things that are UNTRUE--opposite to, or anthithesis
of, TRUTH. Children are started out, aside from the three "R's,"
being TAUGHT things that are either direct lies, theories, or false
propaganda. They are graded on how closely they recite or write in
tests, what has been given them.
One example: A grandson of mine was once asked by his teacher
(he was in grade school), "Who discovered America?" "The Indians,"
he answered. "You are WRONG, Larry," said the teacher. "Don't
you know that COLUMBUS discovered America?" "But the Indians were
already here long before Columbus came," answered my grandson. He
was given a failing grade for that correct answer.
Our system of education is one of memorizing. Children and
older students are expected to MEMORIZE what is taught, whether
true or false. German children are taught one thing about World
Wars I and II, but British and American children have altogether
DIFFERENT history books from which they are taught.
I commented at lunch today that the hardest ones to educate
in the millennium when the KINGDOM OF GOD rules the earth will be
the college professors and the vain scholarly minds of the "highly
educated." It is FAR more difficult to UNlearn error than to
LEARN a truth never heard before. In the millennium we shall have
to have schools of UNlearning, to clear minds of fables, before we
can BEGIN to teach TRUTH!
But God brought me through a process that ERASED former
misknowledge--and, as it were, gave me a clear start from
"scratch."
I wonder if you realize that every TRUTH of GOD, accepted as
