9030 Warning about changing the Word of God....

August 23, 1965: Book 94

Time and again you resent the form of how My Word is conveyed to you from above.... This can be so easily explained by the fact that I avail Myself of a person's power of comprehension, but this should not be confused with general education, for only rarely can I find a person capable of receiving My Word as dictated because this requires the aptitude of instantly grasping incoming thoughts and transcribing them like dictation.... which, however, should not be confused with their own, intellectually contrived thoughts.... This could lead to the erroneous assumption that what the person tries to portray as spiritually received are his own mental concepts. The human being's intellect is inactive then but he hears within himself what the spirit of God tells him.... At no time ever will that which you receive as My Word be incomprehensible for you if you read it with the necessary open-mindedness, which requires understanding.... And a change is insofar inappropriate because you humans, too, constantly change your forms of expression, thus My Word shall remain as it has been received. For its content testifies to its divine origin, and depending on his receptivity the recipient will hear My Word, even when it is transmitted to earth through a spirit of light, for the latter cannot emit anything else but My Word.... And the more intimately the human being establishes his contact with Me the more clearly dictation will take place, but it will never be incorrect, for wherever a mistakes slips in due to disturbances the recipient will soon be made aware of it so that he can rectify it himself. For precisely the danger that My Word can easily become subject to such changes rests in the fact that people want to change it into a form which corresponds to their 'degree of education' which, however, is absolutely inappropriate because I know how to address every human being in order to be understood by him. And the meaning of My address can always be understood providing a certain degree of maturity has been achieved due to love, and this cannot be substituted by even the most comprehensible formulation. And you should always bear in mind that in view of the approaching end My Word is truly offered to you humans such that you can accept it as truth without doubt, because I know that only the truth signifies salvation for you humans and that I do everything in order to convey the truth to you but will also always warn you against implementing changes yourselves, even if this happens with the best of intentions....

Amen
