1369 Thess. 2, 13.... change of the last sentence.... talk about it....

April 3, 1940: Book 23

Only the inner connection with the heavenly father will introduce you to the truth and the knowledge of divine wisdom. Once this connection has been established, only the same truth can ever be conveyed to people, for the working of the spirit is not different but must always result in the pure truth. Thus all those who submit themselves to the lord God must also be of the same spirit, for the spirit from God guides them towards the truth and also gives them all the same realization of it. Consequently, anyone who endeavours to enter into union with the giver of truth must also be instructed in it, and therefore people will also agree in their views who have turned to God Himself with complete devotion in order not to go astray. Yet often the human intellect alone tries to explain the word which God sent to people through visible signs of His working. The representatives of the divine teaching then choose a form of expression that is more familiar to them and also have no intention of wanting to reshape the word, yet the meaning of it can become different if they were not likewise enlightened by the spirit of God. What a person does purely intellectually will rarely be free from error. But to have asked for God's assistance and help secures all endeavours and is also the fullest guarantee for proper success. So the improvements (not false) need not be false doctrines, even though they obscure the meaning; man need not be led into error by them, only he lacks the understanding of that process which is extremely significant for life on earth.... for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and its visible work.... The work of the Holy Spirit is regocnized far too little, and this is also the reason for the changed word, which arose from ignorance of this most significant process, without, however, being a false doctrine. The lord protects His word so that it will not be distorted, and He also gives every sincere affirmer the fullest knowledge and clarification so that what is right will not remain hidden, and He therefore also brings together those for whom the divine will is above all else so that they may enjoy the blessings of the divine word and the father's will will be revealed to them. For he will grasp the word of God in its deepest wisdom who strives to fulfil the will of God and thus does not withdraw from the working of the divine spirit. The spirit from God guides him into the purest truth and also allows him to regocnize every error, for God, as the truth Himself, always wants to separate the lie from the truth and make the pure, unadulterated word accessible to people on earth, therefore He allows people to receive it again and protects it from every error....

Amen
