What others believe and call true cannot affect your individual responsibility before God. You must know your own way, must hear with your own ears, must see with your own eyes. No man may dictate to you what you must believe. No man may lord it over your heart and conscience. No threats or smiles, commendation or condemnation, honored prejudices, granted tenets, popular voices, must influence you.
Nothing is true but the truth.
Before I can accept anything it must stand the test of truth to my mind. I can not do otherwise.
