It had become evident through the first seven years of the movement, that God had called four men to communicate His messages in written form. It seems to be a repetition of the number of gospel writers who were called in former times. The work includes thousands of pages written by those four authors. After the Bellatrix point of the thunders cycle on God’s clock, which marked the memorial anniversary of Jesus’ baptism, God allowed a woman to participate as an author as a representative of the church body who received His revelation.

Please understand that the authors are under a lot of time pressure and responsibility, so if you have any questions, please contact one of the regional secretaries. If necessary, they will forward questions to the responsible author. We try to answer all serious questions, but please be patient because we are processing the questions in the order they are received. Thank you very much!

We would like to point out in particular that the authors do not receive any salaries, profit payments or other financial means from the High Sabbath Adventist Society. God has granted them financial independence.

The Bible is written by inspired men, but it is not God’s mode of thought and expression. It is that of humanity. God, as a writer, is not represented. Men will often say such an expression is not like God. But God has not put Himself in words, in logic, in rhetoric, on trial in the Bible. The writers of the Bible were God’s penmen, not His pen. Look at the different writers.

It is not the words of the Bible that are inspired, but the men that were inspired. Inspiration acts not on the man’s words or his expressions but on the man himself, who, under the influence of the Holy Ghost, is imbued with thoughts. But the words and thoughts receive the impress of the individual mind. The divine mind is diffused. The divine mind and will is combined with the human mind and will; thus the utterances of the man are the word of God.—Manuscript 24, 1886 (written in Europe in 1886). {1SM 21.12}
