MEDITATE ON THESE PRECIOUS PASSAGES:

spiritualism

I have seen the results of these fanciful views of God, in apostasy, spiritualism, and free-lovism. The free-love tendency of these teachings was so concealed that at first it was difficult to make plain its real character. Until the Lord presented it to me, I knew not what to call it, but I was instructed to call it unholy spiritual love.--Testimonies, vol. 8, pp. 291, 292. (1904)

Even in its present form, so far from being more worthy of toleration than formerly, it is really a more dangerous, because a more subtle deception.

While it formerly denounced Christ and the Bible*, it now professes to accept both.

But the Bible* is interpreted in a manner that is pleasing to the unrenewed heart, while its solemn and vital truths are made of no effect.*

Love is dwelt upon

as the chief attribute of God,

but it is degraded to a weak sentimentalism

making little distinction between good and evil.

God's justice, his denunciations of sin, the requirements of his holy law, are all kept out of sight.

The people are taught to regard the decalogue as a dead letter.

Pleasing, bewitching fables captivate the senses,

and lead men to reject the Bible*

as the foundation of their faith.

Christ is as verily denied as before; but Satan has so blinded the eyes of the people that the deception is not discerned.
