The Assessment
         You should know the following:
  1. Every religion counts its ministers as the true men of God, and regards any other minister who is not one of its members as fake. This is the general and prevalent attitude. Hence, the Catholics regard their reverend fathers only as the true ministers of God. The Anglicans respect their teachers and deacons more than non-Anglican ministers. Even among the Pentecostal churches, they are not likely to call a minister to the altar, if the minister is not one of their own pastors. The Buddhists insist that their monks as the only true ministers of God. The Moslems are more restrictive and even so violent, because they are ready to kill any minister who would try to teach them anything contrary to Islam. The pagans trust their priests only as being truthful and do claim to be the first to attain heaven, even before Christians. All these beliefs and practices are falsehood and misleading, because they are contrary to the will of God.
    Whom then does the Lord call His ministers? It is all those who are called and anointed by God in heaven and sent down to the world, whether such person are ordained or not. On earth, all the ministers segregate and discriminate according to their respective religions and churches. But in heaven, God regards all of them as one family, who are the pastors of His flock.

  2. A blunt knife never gives a sharp and deep cut.

  3. Majority are like the empty vessels, which makes the most noise. They are empty because they did not study Spiritual Science. They make the most noise because they are ignorant teachers and preachers, who appear bold and loud before the people, but misleading in teachings and concepts.

  4. They do not engage in thorough reading of their holy book. If they had done so, they would have discovered so many areas in which their religious beliefs and practices are wrong.

  5. They do not conduct confirmatory research on their beliefs and practices. Therefore, many end up believing and teaching the wrong things. That was why Jesus cautioned His disciples to beware of the leaven (false teachings) of the Pharisees (religious leaders).

Most of the ministers are just ordinary noise-makers.
Only their enthusiasm is counted unto them as righteousness.
In their teachings and preaching, majority are like children,
     who are busy reciting what they have crammed.
They are false leaders, teaching what they have not understood.
I say the Truth, so that those of them who are eanestly seeking for God,
     would humble themselves to learn Spiritual Science,
     for God is spirit.
