Chapter 10 1 (Ch. 16:12, 13). Strange Fire Offered Today—God has not changed. He is as particular and exact in His requirements now as He was in the days of Moses. But in the sanctuaries of worship in our day, with the songs of praise, the prayers, and the teaching from the pulpit, there is not merely strange fire, but positive defilement. Instead of truths being preached with holy unction from God, it is sometimes spoken under the influence of tobacco and brandy. Strange fire indeed! Bible truth and Bible holiness are presented to the people, and prayers are offered to God, mingled with the stench of tobacco! Such incense is most acceptable to Satan! A terrible deception is this! What an offence in the sight of God! What an insult to Him who is holy, dwelling in light unapproachable!{1BC 1111.2}

kapitel 10

1 (kp. 16,12. 13). Fremmed ild ofres i dag.--Gud har ikke forandret sig. Han er lige så bestemt og nøjeregnende i Sine krav nu, som Han var i Moses' dage. Men i tilbedelseshelligdommene i vor tid, med lovprisningssange, bønner og undervisning fra talerstolen, var der ikke blot en fremmed ild, men en direkte besmittelse. I stedet for at forkynde sandheder med hellig salvelse fra Gud, siges det det nogle gange under indflydelse af tobak og brændevin. I virkeligheden fremmed ild! Bibelsandhed og bibelhellighed bringes frem til folk, og bønner sendes til Gud, blandet med tobakos! En sådan røgelse er mere antagelig for Satan! Dette er et frygteligt bedrag! Hvilken fornærmelse i Guds øjne! Hvilken forhånelse mod Ham som er hellig, og bor i utilnærmeligt lys.
