“Answers To Objections on TLIG”

Introduction

Over the past few years, a number of objections have been heard by this author and in general by those

who evangelize on the inspirations of True Life In God , received by Vassula Ryden (“Vassula”) most

commonly referred to as the “Messages of TLIG”.

This paper will not address objections from non Christians, as the underlying premise is that non

Christians need to first accept the Divine authority of Jesus, before they can accept TLIG, because of the

large number of inspirations from Jesus that can be found in TLIG.

It is the belief of the author that Christian objections to TLIG are often the result of a poor

understanding of the Messages of TLIG, either because they are not read in their totality or because

they are not read in prayer to the Triune God. Whereas some have objections that are based in hearsay

evidence, others object to these inspirations in principle, based on their fear of possibly being misled

into a dogmatic error. After all, it is safer to stay with the “tried and true” traditions of their Christian

Church, than to follow something that may sound good, but may ultimately be proven wrong.

One can hardly disagree with the notion of “proceeding with caution”. However, if God is truly speaking

today, His people cannot and should not ignore their Master’s voice.

It is hoped that the following answers to the most common objections (or questions) will provide some

comfort to those who seek sincere answers, so that they could indeed “proceed with caution” and feel

at ease to read the TLIG Messages. May the Holy Spirit enlighten us all who seek with sincerity and child

like heart.

1. Does the Church approve TLIG?

 The Church is slow and deliberate in action, and for good reason. Throughout the centuries of

Church history, many a charismatic person has risen with spiritual pronouncements of one sort or

another that have been proven wrong! Time has a way of “sifting” and separating truth from

fiction. The “flash in the pan” and the latest novelty may just be wrong!

Yet, God is not dead! God would not remain silent in our times, when we live at an age of

debasement and sin that is unrivaled in the history of mankind! Consider, for example the global sin

of abortion: Estimates vary, but it is reasonable to state that in the last 35 years since abortion has
