There is danger that the false sentiments expressed in the books that they have been reading will sometimes be interwoven by our ministers, teachers, and editors with their arguments, discourses, and publications, under the belief that they are the same in principle as the teachings of the Spirit of truth. The book Living Temple is an illustration of this work, the writer of which declared in its support that its teachings were the same as those found in the writings of Mrs. White. Again and again we shall be called to meet the influence of men who are studying sciences of satanic origin, through which Satan is working to make a nonentity of God and of Christ. {9T 68.1}

Der er fare for, at vore prædikanter, lærere og redaktører vil føre ind i deres argumenter i foredrag og skrifter falske opfattelser, som de har hentet ud af bøger, de har læst, i den mening, at de i det væsentlige stemmer overens med Guds Ånds lære. Bogen Living Temple er et eksempel herpå, idet forfatteren erklærede i sit forsvar for den, at dens lære var den samme som den, der forefindes i søster Whites skrifter. Atter og atter kommer vi til at kæmpe imod indflydelse af mænd, som gransker videnskaber af satanisk oprindelse og hvor igennem Satan virker for at tilintetgøre troen på Guds og Kristi tilværelse.
