Who would nourish those who should take their stand to obey all of God’s commandments? Who would be nursing fathers and nursing mothers to those who need help and strength? Do these brethren know what they are doing? They are standing directly in the way of sinners. They are blocking up the way by their own wrong course. The blood of souls will be on their garments unless they repent and entirely change their course. Do these disaffected ones think that they are right and the body of Sabbathkeepers deluded? By their fruits ye shall know them.” Whom is God blessing? Whom is He leading? Who are at work for Him? Who are doing good in laboring to get the truth before other minds? Do these men think that the body will come to them and give up their experience and views to follow the judgment of these unconsecrated ones? or will they come into harmony with the body? {4T 238.2}

Hvem vil give dem næring, som bør stille sig (239) lydig mod alle Guds bud? Hvem vil opfostre fædre og mødre til dem, som behøver hjælp og styrke? Ved disse brødre hvad de gør? De står direkte på syndernes vej. De blokerer vejen ved deres egen forkerte opførsel. Sjæles blod vil være på deres klæder, hvis de ikke angrer og ændrer deres kurs fuldstændigt. Tror disse misfornøjede personer at de gør det rigtige og at sabbatsholdernes legeme er blevet vildledt? »På deres frugter skal I kende dem.« Hvem velsigner Gud? Hvem leder ham? Hvem arbejder for ham? Hvem gør godt i arbejdet for sandhedsudbredelsen til andre? Tror disse mænd at legemet vil komme til dem og opgive deres erfaring og synspunkter, for at følge disse uhelligede menneskers vurderinger? eller vil de komme i harmoni med legemet?
