Simple

"Scripture is the key that unlocks Scripture.
The suppositions of men are worthless.
Great care is to be exercised,
lest human fallacies be brought in.

Every student is to be educated to give a clear exposition of the Word,
according to the example Christ has given in His teaching.

@ He said nothing to gratify curiosity
or
@ to stimulate selfish ambition.
 
He did not deal in abstract theories,
but in that which is essential to the development of character;
that which will enlarge man's capacity for knowing God,
and increase his power to do good.

He spoke of those truths that relate to the conduct of life,
and that unite man with eternity.
We read that the common people heard Him gladly.
The people "were astonished at His teaching; for His word was with power."

Manuscript Releases vol.7, p.416 E.G.W.

For it is written: “I shall destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and I shall take away the opinions of the intelligent.”
