the immortal soul, about heaven and hell, about the LAW OF GOD, about
the real history of GOD'S CHURCH--and of ancient Israel before it.
Christmas, New Year's, Easter--all these I had to UNlearn. It was a
SHATTERING EXPERIENCE! My mind was SWEPT CLEAN of false beliefs. My
mind was open to God's TRUTH.
YOU, dear Ministers and wives, did not have to go through what
God put me through. I learned TRUTH a doctrine at a time. Through
me it was handed to all of you "on a platter"--all together.
Now if you don't understand and believe that, I wonder what you
are doing in Christ's ministry.
The Living CHRIST put HIS TRUTH into God's Church through me.
You have of your own will been drawn into this Church by the
Living Christ--to HELP me in proclaiming this GOOD NEWS to the world.
IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK IN THE WORLD--ESPECIALLY AT THIS CRISIS
TIME JUS'I' BEFORE THE COMING
OF
CHRIST TO SET UP THE KINGDOM OF GOD!
It is far more important than being a captain in the army in time
of WAR! If you did not agree with the military regulations and orders,
and openly proclaimed your dissidence to those under you, you would
be court-martialed and probably shot! Yet disagreement and contrary
teaching of those under you in GOD'S CHURCH is, in God's eyes, FAR MORE
SERIOUS!
Now I am not, of course, going to order any firing squads, But
the LEAST you can do, if you cannot wholeheartedly accept and loyally
teach the truths Jesus Christ put into His Church through His chosen
Apo£tle, is to resign and LEAVE THE CHURCH!
God commands in His Word that we all "SPEAK THE SAME THING."
That "same thing" He put into His Church through His Apostle. If you
can't agree on any point, you may bring your disagreement privately
to your superior, or directly to me--but to teach disagreement to the
children of
GOD
is the height of disloyalty!
For a year now, God has been SETTING HIS CHURCH BACK ON HIS TRACK!
That action continues!
