15. A false beginning in spiritual matters leads to the falsification of everything else. Thus it falsifies everything in the Word. It does so even though man is unaware of it while he is reading the Word. Falsehoods actually wriggle into every detail of the Word, from the side or in the middle. Such falsehood is not evident except so long as it is placedin the centre of one's mental attention.
