Unity Upon The Foundations Laid By God
After the passing of time in 1844, God raised up a people to do a special work which would prepare His followers to receive the Latter Rain and to hail Christ as their Saviour at His glorious return. It is today, as it has always been, Christ’s desire to see his followers united in heart and spirit upon the solid,Read the rest of this page »
A Movement Raised Up By God
While it is true that the Three Angels’ Messages contain truth of a general nature – for example, “worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters” – it is also important to note that the vision of three angels flying one after the other, represents a sequence of prophesied events. These events were fulfilled atRead the rest of this page »
JESUS OR CAIAPHAS? WHICH?
The biggest problem facing the church today is similar to that which the Jewish church faced in the time of Christ! The constituted church authority condemned Jesus and instructed the people to reject Him. In these last days we have the constituted authority of the SDA church that has rejected the Biblical faith of the pioneers, which, in 1904 EllenRead the rest of this page »
THE SDA CHURCH, THE TRINITY AND THE GREAT CONTROVERSY VISION OF ELLEN WHITE
The SDA church is right about the great controversy world view. But they could never accept the Trinity if they really believed the great controversy vision that Ellen White got in 1858, which was a repeat of what was revealed to her ten years earlier (Spiritual Gifts Vol. 2, p. 270). This time, she got specific instructions to write itRead the rest of this page »
IF THIS IS NOT THE OMEGA, THEN WHAT IS? – WARNING AGAINST A SCHEME TO CHANGE THE SDA FAITH
Many people speak loosely of the ‘omega of apostasy’ without realizing that the term ‘omega’ was used by Ellen G. White in relation to a particular change of doctrine that would be embraced within the church on account of which the earlier foundation would be rejected. The following statements speak for themselves. FOUNDATIONS OF SDA FAITH – LET THE PROPHETRead the rest of this page »
POPULAR ARGUMENTS FOR THE TRINITY ADDRESSED
The Bible teaches that there are three powers in heaven: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But it did not say that together, they are the one true God, or that they are co-equal. The concept of God as a Trinity has been prevalent in pagan religions and cultures but entirely absent from the religion of ancient Israel, the apostolic religionRead the rest of this page »
FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT ARE PERSONS BUT NOT ONE GOD
There is a stalemate between SDA Trinitarians (modern Adventists) and SDA Non-Trinitarians (which includes the Pioneers such as James White, Joseph Bates, J. N. Andrews and others). Trinitarians say that the one God of scripture is three persons. But the Non-Trinitarians say that there is no place in the Bible that teaches that – and they are correct on thatRead the rest of this page »
Which is better: Presumptuous but honest or outright dishonest?
The following excerpt was published by James White in 1854 while he was Editor of the Review and Herald periodical. It leads one to question which is better – being presumptuous as to arrogate to oneself the prerogative of changing what God says or being dishonest enough to claim that God said what He did not say? Here is theRead the rest of this page »
The Three Powers of Heaven – another look
The three powers of heaven are God, Christ, and angels (ie. Father, Son and holy spirits). There are many references to the three powers in scripture, without mention of any other; for example: “I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things” (1 Tim. 5:21). Also, “For whosoever shall beRead the rest of this page »
Do we really understand what God did at Calvary?
If you do not believe that Jesus Christ was the only begotten Son of God – a genuine offspring, can you really understand what God did? The entire sense of the gospel hinges on it. If Jesus was not the only begotten Son of God, what then did God sacrifice or lose to save us, as an expression of His love for us?
The Trinity – Where is the vision to back it up?
Very prominent within the institutions of professed Christianity is the concept of the Trinity which declares that God is One, yet three Persons. Belief in the Trinity is a pre-requisite for membership in the World Council of Churches (WCC), as stated on their official website as the Basis of the WCC. The Basis of the WCC, adopted by the ThirdRead the rest of this page »
Why we should worship Jesus
As Christians, we worship Jesus and so we should. But why should we worship Jesus? The answer might seem obvious, but it is not as obvious as one might be inclined to think. We should worship Jesus for the right reason. If we worship Jesus for the wrong reason, we may also give worship where it does not belong, forRead the rest of this page »
Opening of the Seven Seals
Following on our earlier presentation, “Seals opened in context of the judgement”, in which we showed that the Seven Seals are opened after the judgement is convened, and we considered the opening of the first seal, we now consider the opening of the remaining seals. Before we do, just a word as to why study and present this matter currently. Read the rest of this page »
Seals opened in context of the judgement
There is an inescapable parallel between the setting of Revelation chapters 4 and 5, in which the seals are opened, and the judgement scene of Daniel chapter 7. We’ll consider some of the parallel elements and the implications for the present time, but before we do so, the following word of admonition is most instructive: “Study Revelation in connection withRead the rest of this page »
The Three Angels’ Messages and the Seven Churches
