The Bible warns against believing everything one hears, even if presented as a divine message, because many false teachers exist. William Allen White's response to a critic who accused him of not reading submissions illustrates this principle: just as one doesn't need to eat an entire egg to know it's bad, one doesn't need to read an entire false message to discern its falsity. The core lesson is to test all messages, especially those claiming divine origin, before accepting them. This discernment is crucial for avoiding deception and maintaining faithfulness.

As editor of the Emporia Gazette, William Allen White received many articles from many authors. He had to send many of them back. One person who was very disappointed wrote to Mr. White, Sir, you sent a story of mine back. I know that you didn't read it because as a test I pasted together pages eighteen and nineteen. The manuscript came back with those pages still stuck together. So I know that you're a fraud and that you turned down articles without even reading them. Mr. White answered, Dear Madam, At breakfast, when I open an egg, I don't have to eat it all to determine if it's bad. The Bible says, Don't always believe everything you hear, just because someone says it is a message from God. Test it first, for there are many false teachers around.
