Those who advocate error will say, “The Lord saith,” “when the Lord hath not spoken.” They testify to falsehood, and not to truth. If those who have been proclaiming the message that the church is Babylon had used the money expended in publishing and circulating this error, in building up, instead of tearing down, they would have made it evident that they were the people whom God is leading. {TM 43.1}

De som støtter vildfarelse vil sige, »Så siger den Herre Herren!« uden at Herren har talet.« De vidner til falskheden og ikke til sandheden. Hvis dem som har forkyndt det budskab at menigheden er Babylon, har sat penge i offentliggørelse og sat denne fejltagelse i omløb, i at bygge op, i stedet for at rive ned, ville de have gjort det klart at de er folket som Gud leder.
