Mark 4:23-25 You That Hear Shall More be Given

²³If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. ²⁴And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. ²⁵For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. -Mark 4:23-25 Bible, King James Version

We need to be careful that we don't fall into the know it all trap of saying, "We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible or we have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough!" 

In the Mormon Church’s Book of Mormon the prophet Nephi in ancient America teaches the people: Behold, I prophesy unto you concerning the last days. …The Gentiles… have stumbled, because of the greatness of their stumbling block, that they have built up many churches. …For it shall come to pass in that day that the churches which are built up, …the one shall say unto the other: Behold, I, I am the Lord’s, and the others shall say: I, I am the Lord’s; and thus shall every one say that hath built up churches. …Because of… false doctrine, their churches have become corrupted… They have all gone astray save it be a few. …Behold, that great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth… must tumble to the earth. …Yea, wo be unto him that saith; We have received, and we need no more. And in fine, wo unto all those who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God! For behold he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he should fall. Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough! For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts… for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have. …And because my words shall hiss forth- many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible, Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible. …Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? …I speak forth my words according to my own pleasure. And because I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever. Wherefore, because ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written. (2 Nephi 26:14,20; 28:3,14,18,27-30; 29:3,6,9-10)

    

Also in a revelation to the prophet Joseph Smith in 1833 the Lord teaches: Study and learn, and become acquainted with all good books… but be admonished in all your high-mindedness and pride, for it bringeth a snare upon your souls. …Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly. (Doctrine and Covenants 90:15,17,24) "Become acquainted with all good books" does not mean only the Mormon books. No religion has all the Truth. Truth is like a Golden Thread which runs through all religions. Some have more of the Truth than others but none have all the Truth. The Ascended Masters teach that the Bible contains about thirty percent of the Truth therefore it is important to search diligently until one finds the pure Truth as taught by the Masters or one risks being snared in their own high-mindedness and pride believing they have all the Truth they need but it will only lead them to re-embodiment.


Mighty Victory teaches us: "...the masses of mankind, until they are taught this Law, do not have permanent Victory! ...Like a pendulum they swing and swing and swing, and never stabilize anywhere; because they cannot, until they know That Glorious Word "I AM"; understand where the "Mighty I AM Presence" is; what It is and what It can do for them. Only then can they see, know and accept the Reality of the Mighty Ascended Masters; the Great Cosmic Beings... Until they know the "Beloved Mighty I AM Presence" and Its Cosmic Law, they are not stabilized within Permanent Happiness nor Perfection." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1951 June p28-29)
