I want to frankly tell you: If there a choice between your reading the Bible, I want to tell you that you had better read what God said today in preference to what He said 2,000 or 4,000 years ago! (Old Bottles! - ML 242:42)
May God deliver you from old worn out Bible studies ... and old endless Scripture memorisation ...if it means you haven’t got time to listen to what God has to say now! (Old Bottles! - ML 242:49)
Most of our kids don’t know the old Bible doctrines that well. They don’t know that much about the Bible. So they just take what I saw without question, they don’t even know any Bible verses to use against the Letters because they don’t know the Bible that well. They just trust me and trust the Lord, and love me and take my word for it. But some of these people have had their reservations and their doubts ... especially those of strong churchy Biblical backgrounds. Therefore some of the things that I have said are going to raise questions in their minds and I’m sure the Devil is going to supply them with lots of Scriptures and say, ‘Well now, but the Bible says so and so.’ (Grace vs. Law - ML 635:55,56)
A lot of things that Paul said were right for his time and his day, but they don’t necessarily bind us today. If God has spoken at all and shown me these things at all, it is His Words for today and it supersedes anything else that has ever been given, if it is different. (Grace vs. Law - ML 635:70)
