But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
It matters not what kind of doctrine, or what system, a man embraces, if he is only sincere and worships Jesus Christ.

I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes; even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
We thank God that He has revealed nothing to any person, wise or simple, for many hundred years, but that our wise and learned men have been able to know God without a revelation, and that we shall never be favored with any more.

No man knoweth the Son but the Father, neither knoweth any man the
Father save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.
We all know God in this enlightened age, and yet neither the Father nor the Son has revealed any thing to any of us, for we do not believe revelations are necessary now.

And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent.
