WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE: Many who were convinced that Jesus - TopicsExpress

WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE: Many who were convinced that Jesus was the Son of God were misled by the false reasoning of the priests and rabbis... The very words of prophecy were so perverted as to sanction error. Had the people in sincerity studied the word for themselves, they would not have been misled...{DA 458.2} God does not compel men to give up their unbelief. Before them are light and darkness, truth and error. It is for them to decide which they will accept. The human mind is endowed with power to discriminate between right and wrong. God designs that men shall not decide from impulse, but from weight of evidence, carefully comparing scripture with scripture. Had the Jews laid by their prejudice and compared written prophecy with the facts characterizing the life of Jesus, they would have perceived a beautiful harmony between the prophecies and their fulfillment in the life and ministry of the lowly Galilean. {DA 458.3} Many are deceived today in the same way as were the Jews. Religious teachers read the Bible in the light of their own understanding and traditions; and the people do not search the Scriptures for themselves, and judge for themselves as to what is truth; but they yield up their judgment, and commit their souls to their leaders. The preaching and teaching of His word is one of the means that God has ordained for diffusing light; but we must bring every mans teaching to the test of Scripture. Whoever will prayerfully study the Bible, desiring to know the truth, that he may obey it, will receive divine enlightenment. He will understand the Scriptures. If any man willeth to do His will, he shall know of the teaching. John 7:17, R. V. {DA 459.1} Those to whom the message of truth is spoken seldom ask, Is it true? but, By whom is it advocated? Multitudes estimate it by the numbers who accept it; and the question is still asked, Have any of the learned men or religious leaders believed? Men are no more favorable to real godliness now than in the days of Christ... {DA 459.5}
