A Work of Deception . It will be found that those who bear false messages will not have a high sense of honor and integrity. They will deceive the people, and mix up with their error the Testimonies of Sister White, and use her name to give influence to their work. They make such selections from the Testimonies as they think they can twist to support their positions, and place them in a setting of falsehood, so that their error may have weight and be accepted by the people. They misinterpret and misapply that which God has given to the church to warn, counsel, reprove, comfort, and encourage those who shall make up the remnant people of God. Those who receive the Testimonies as the message of God will be helped and blessed thereby; but those who take them in parts, simply to support some theory or idea of their own, to vindicate themselves in a course of error, will not be blessed and benefited by what they teach. To claim that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is Babylon, is to make the same claim as does Satan, who is an accuser of the brethren, who accuses them before God night and day. By this misusing of the Testimonies, souls are placed in perplexity, because they cannot understand the relation of the Testimonies to such a position as is taken by those in error; for God intended that the Testimonies should always have a setting in the framework of truth. {TM 42.1}

Et bedraget arbejde
Det vil blive således at dem som bærer de falske budskaber ikke vil have en høj sans for ærlighed og retskaffenhed. De vil bedrage folket, og blande op med deres fejltagelser af testimonies - Søster Whites vidnesbyrd, og bruge hendes navn for at få indflydelse i deres arbejde. De laver sådanne udpluk fra Testimonies så de tror at de kan fordreje for at understøtte deres synspunkter, og sætte dem i falskhedens ramme, så at deres fejltagelse må have vægt og blive modtaget af folket. De mistyder og misbruger det som Gud har givet menigheden som advarsel, at give råd, irettesætte, trøste, og opmuntre dem som skal udgøre Guds levning. De som modtager Testimonies som et budskab fra Gud vil blive hjulpet og velsignet derefter; men de som udtager dele fra dem, simpelthen for at understøtte nogle af deres egne teorier og ideer, for at forsvare dem selv på grund af fejltagelse, vil ikke blive velsignet og få gavn af det de lærer. At påberåbe sig at syvende-dags Adventist menigheden er Babylon, er at gøre den samme påberåbelse som Satan gør, som anklager for brødrene og anklager dem for Gud nat og dag. Ved dette misbrug af (43) Testimonies, er sjæle sat i rådvildhed, fordi de kan ikke se sammenhængen mellem Testimonies og så det standpunkt som er taget af de fejlene; for Gud har tiltænkt at Testimonies altid skal have en ramme i sandhedens struktur.
