1518 Spreading the pure truth.... false doctrines....

July 12, 1940: Book 24

It is of no value whatsoever to take care of spreading a doctrine which no longer corresponds to its original state. And therefore it is precisely those people who teach on earth who will have to be enlightened, for they are advocating a teaching which is no longer what it originally was. A certain amount of caution is indeed necessary so that not every teacher feels that he is in error, for anyone who lives in accordance with God's will can likewise distinguish truth from falsehood and he can teach correctly accordingly, even if he belongs to a community whose teaching already deviates from the pure teaching of Christ. His will to serve God in all humility protects him from erroneous teaching, for he stands in grace and the wisdom of God is shared with him insofar as he speaks for God. His words will always be blessed by the lord, they will also leave a deep impression on those who hear them, while teachings that are not God-ordained will only find favour where man's will for truth is not significant. There, delicious gifts can also be offered without being regocnized by people for what they are. However, the teaching forces should receive the pure truth, for it is up to them to instruct many people and it is necessary for them to be able to distinguish truth from untruth. And yet they can only be given information about it in this way, and they will still reject it if they are not seeking and strictly truth-loving servants of God. They have offered themselves to preach God's word to people, so God must protect His word from any distortion. And He will do so if the listener sincerely asks Him to stand in the truth and thus faithfully receives the word of God. God will give him the truth and a wealth of knowledge.... For it is His will to guide people into the truth, and thus He must carefully guard both the teacher and the listener against error, and therefore His word constantly reaches those who have the will to be proclaimers of the truth from God.... The lord reveals Himself to them in such a way that they regocnize the truth and then commit themselves to it.... that they teach those who are in error and thus spread the divine teaching purely and unadulterated....

Amen
