Chapter 22 7,8. Prejudices Blind Eyes to Truth—The more closely the Scriptures are studied, the more clearly shall we understand the true character of our thoughts and actions. But thousands put the Bible on one side for the same reason that Ahab hated Micaiah. Because it prophesies evil against the sinner, they claim that they find objections and contradictions in God’s Word. While professing to be open to conviction, they allow prejudice to hold sway, and refuse to see the truth which that Word reveals (The Youth’s Instructor, June 10, 1897).{2BC 1036.1}

Kapitel 22

7,8. Fordomme forblinder øjnene for sandheden. - Jo mere skriften studeres, des klarer vil vi forstå vore tanker og handlingers sande karakter. Men tusindvis lægger Bibelen til side af samme grund som Akab hadede Mika. Fordi den profeterer ondt imod synderen, hævder de at finde forhindringer og selvmodsigelser i Guds ord. Medens de bekender at være åben over for domfældelsen, lader de fordomme tage magten, og nægte at se sandheden som Ordet åbenbarer (YI, 10. juni, 1897).
