Excerpt from Discourse The Prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream, and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully: what is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. Jeremiah, 23: 28. Ever since sin came into the world, error has kept pace with truth. Truth has advanced and is destined to triumph. God said to the old deceiver, "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." - Genesis, 3, 15. -Falsehood has followed close in the footsteps of truth, with a counteracting and blasting influence. In some ages of the world, it seemed that error had well nigh swallowed up truth: - Even God's ancient people, the Jews, for whom so much had been done to preserve them from false doctrines, had so far departed from the truth, in our Saviour's time, they made the word of God of none effect by their traditions. They had some truth, but it was so mixed with error, they were prepared to reject almost every truth the Saviour taught. They would adhere to the creed of their fathers, and whatever the Saviour preached in opposition, they rejected. Said Christ, "Ye teach for doctrines the commandments of men." - Matt. 15, 9. The Jews are not the only people who have departed from the word of the Lord: - in our own day, error is presented to such an extent, and in such a manner, that the word of God, to the minds of many, is covered with the chaff, and thereby some are led to reject the Bible altogether.
