in the past, some will be led to form new theories and to deny the truths
upon which the Spirit of God has placed His approval.—

False Theories Regarding the Sanctuary—In the future, decep-
tion of every kind is to arise, and we want solid ground for our feet.
We want solid pillars for the building. Not one pin is to be removed
from that which the Lord has established. The enemy will bring in
false theories, such as the doctrine that there is no sanctuary. This is
one of the points on which there will be a departing from the faith.
Where shall we find safety unless it be in the truths that the Lord has
been giving for the last fifty years?—

Contest Over Distinguishing Truth—The time is near when the
deceptive powers of satanic agencies will be fully developed. On one
side is Christ, who has been given all power in heaven and earth. On
the other side is Satan, continually exercising his power to allure, to
[225]
deceive with strong, spiritualistic sophistries, to remove God out of
the places that He should occupy in the minds of men.
Satan is striving continually to bring in fanciful suppositions in
regard to the sanctuary, degrading the wonderful representations of
God and the ministry of Christ for our salvation into something that
suits the carnal mind. He removes its presiding power from the hearts
of believers, and supplies its place with fantastic theories invented to
make void the truths of the atonement, and destroy our confidence
in the doctrines which we have held sacred since the third angel’s
message was first given. Thus he would rob us of our faith in the very
message that has made us a separate people, and has given character
and power to our work.—Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 7, p. 17.
