Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

The Thánh Ngôn Hiệp Tuyển is a compilation of messages received in séance sessions using a beaked basket (ngọc cơ) with two mediums, transcribed, dated, and archived. That the canon is a set of minuted spirit communications rather than an ancient text is unusual and deliberate: the religion holds that revelation is happening now and can be recorded with the same care as any other proceedings.
