things and the result is not a larger God, a larger Man, a larger Heaven, a larger Bible, but a larger vision of these.

Questions have been asked concerning Bible verses and teachings and these questions have been reserved for this chapter, as the answers will throw light upon the spiritual interpretation of the Bible.

Will you explain the verse, "These are they that have come out of great tribulation?" Rev. 7: 14.

These are spoken of as being clothed "in white robes," not because they had great tribulation but because they came out of tribulation. Christians have accepted tribulations as the pathway to heaven, whereas, tribulation results from our deviation from that pathway and, to "come out of" these, is to return to the true path, or way of Truth.

Pain grows out of the "ground" that is "cursed for our sakes." (Gen. 3: 17.) It results from man's choice of seeking to learn from experience, rather than from inward illumination. It is nature's kindly voice that warns us of our mistakes. Every pain or tribulation is a signal that we are not walking in the true path; that we have turned aside from right understanding, and are making human opinion the "ground" of our faith. Such "ground" or foundation must be shaken from under us that we may be forced to find the enduring Truth.

What is the sin against the Holy Ghost that can never be forgiven? (Matt. 12: 31, 32.)
