'Test all things and keep what is good....'

Test all things and keep what is good.... I say this to those who are inclined to doubt, who don't possess the ability to make correct judgments and are apprehensive about accepting spiritual knowledge which is offered to them in an unusual way. Accept it with a completely open mind, and then ask Me for enlightenment of spirit and reflect on what you have received.... And, for the time being, ignore what seems unacceptable to you because you are at present unable to understand it, and enjoy what, after serious examination, is credible to you.... I don't expect you to have blind faith, I expect you to test the spiritual knowledge which is made accessible to you; you are meant to think about it, and it is better you reject what seems incomprehensible to you than accept everything unreservedly, for if you have not formed an opinion about such mental concepts they will not be of benefit to you.... But if you are serious and want the pure truth, then you will also clearly recognise the truth if My messengers offer you spiritual knowledge which has originated from Me. For this Word contains the strength to give life.... providing, however, that life is being aspired to.

Test all things and keep what is good.... Do these Words not contradict the imposition of believing something without thinking about it? After all, I Myself leave it up to you what to believe when I ask you to keep 'what is good'.... I leave it up to you because I don't demand blind faith from you humans. But why do you, who demand that 'thinking about religious doctrines' must be avoided, stop people from examining.... Are you not acting against My will? And are you also aware of the consequences such compulsion of faith will have on people? Time and again I emphasise freedom of will, time and again I bring the individual person's responsibility for his decision of will to the fore, time and again I caution against spiritual compulsion and explain to you what really matters in earthly life....

And the Scripture, too, provides you with the evidence with these Words 'Test all things and keep what is good....', which should make every person, who genuinely wants to fulfil My will, suspicious that they don't coincide with the ecclesiastical laws and make him think.... After all, whose Word, whose teachings, are more credible? And you cannot imply any other meaning to these My Words but that you should form an opinion about every religious dogma. You are supposed to form an opinion of it, regardless of who presents spiritual knowledge to you, for even the pure truth coming from Me, which is conveyed to you directly from above, may be scrutinised by you, and I will not condemn you if you think that you cannot accept everything without hesitation.... You should only always seek advice from Me and I will give you the understanding of what you need for the maturity of your souls.... And if you still have a low degree of maturity, you will not be able to understand everything, but you yourselves determine what you are prepared to accept.... Test all things and keep what is good.... For by doing so you prove the sincerity of your attitude and your desire for truth. But anyone who accepts something without checking it demonstrates his indifference, and he will never move within the truth either, because it is irrelevant to him. Yet this kind of attitude should never be promoted by a responsible person, people should be encouraged and not stopped to reflect on spiritual knowledge, for only then will it be beneficial and help the human being attain maturity of soul, since free will is being employed and its decision alone is important....

Amen

‘SVE PROVJERAVAJTE, I ŠTO JE DOBRO ZADRŽITE....’

Sve provjeravajte i što je dobro zadržite.... Ja kažem ovo onima koji su skloni sumnjati, koji ne posjeduju sposobnost pravilnih prosudbi i bojažljivi su prihvatiti duhovno znanje koje im je ponuđeno na neobičan način. Prihvatite ga sa potpuno otvorenim umom, i onda Me zapitajte za prosvjetljenje duha i reflektirajte na ono što ste primili.... I, za sada, zanemarite što vam izgleda neprihvatljivo budući ste trenutno to nesposobni razumjeti, i uživajte ono što vam, nakon ozbiljnog ispitivanja, izgleda vjerodostojno.... Ja od vas ne očekujem da imate slijepu vjeru, Ja od vas očekujem da testirate duhovno znanje koje vam je učinjeno dostupačnim; vi bi o njemu trebali razmišljati, i bolje je ako odbacite što vam izgleda nerazumljivo nego da sve prihvatite bezrezervno, jer ako niste formirali mišljenje o takvim mentalnim konceptima oni vam neće biti od koristi.... Ali ako ste ozbiljni i želite čistu istinu, onda ćete također jasno prepoznati istinu ako vam Moji glasnici ponude duhovno znanje koje je poteklo od Mene. Jer ova Riječ sadrži snagu da/koja daje život.... pod uvjetom, međutim, da je život ono za čim se stremi.

Sve proveravajte i što je dobro zadržite.... Zar ove Riječi nisu proturječne nametanju da se vjeruje u nešto bez da se o tome razmišlja? Naposlijetku, Ja Osobno Sam vam prepustio što ćete vjerovati kada Sam zatražio da ‘zadržite ono što je dobro’.... Ja to ostavljam vama budući ne zahtjevam slijepu vjeru od vas ljudi. Ali zašto vi, koji iziskujete da se ‘razmišljanje o religijskim doktrinama’ mora izbjegavati, priječite ljude od ispitivanja.... Zar ne djelujete protiv Moje volje? I da li ste također svjesni posljedica koje će takvo prisiljavanje vjere imati na ljude? Opet i iznova Ja naglašavam slobodu volje, opet i iznova Ja stavljam u prvi plan odgovornost koju svakom pojedinačnom čovjeku nosi njegova odluka volje, opet i iznova Ja upozoravam protiv duhovne prisile i objašnjavam vam što je doista važno u zemaljskom životu....

I Sveto Pismo vam, također, osigurava dokaz sa ovim Riječima ‘Sve provjeravajte i što je dobro zadržite....’, koje bi svakog čovjeka, koji u svoj ozbiljnosti/istinski hoće ispuniti Moju volju, trebale nagnati da posumnja kako se one ne slažu sa crkvenim zakonima te ga dobro zamisliti.... Naposlijetku, čija je Riječ, čija učenja, su više vjerodostojna? I vi ne možete implicirati/pripisati ni jedno drugo značenje ovim Mojim Riječima osim da vi trebate formirati mišljenje o svakoj religijskoj dogmi. Od vas se očekuje da o njoj formirate mišljenje, bez obzira tko vam predstavlja duhovno znanje, jer čak i čista istina koja dolazi od Mene, koja vam je prenešena/saopćena direktno odgore, može biti pomno ispitana s vaše strane, i Ja vas neću osuditi ako mislite kako ne možete prihvatiti sve bez oklijevanja.... Vi uvijek jedino trebate od Mene tražiti savjet i Ja ću vam dati razumijevanje onog što vam je potrebno za sazrijevanje vaših duša.... A ako i dalje imate nizak stupanj zrelosti, vi nećete biti u stanju sve razumjeti, ali vi sami odlučujete što ste spremni prihvatiti.... Sve provjeravajte i zadržite što je dobro.... Jer čineći tako vi dokazujete iskrenost vašeg stava i žudnje za istinom. Ali svatko tko prihvati nešto bez da to provjeri on demonstrira svoju ravnodušnost/nezainteresiranost, i on se isto tako nikada neće kretati unutar istine, jer ona mu je irelevantna/nevažna. Ipak ova vrsta stava se nikada ne smije podržavati od strane odgovorne osobe, ljudi trebaju biti ohrabreni a ne spriječeni reflektirati o duhovnom znanju, jer jedino onda će im ono biti od koristi i pomoći će ljudskom biću ostvariti zrelost duše, pošto je bila uposlena slobodna volja i njezina odluka je jedino što je važno.

AMEN
