Author's Foreword For a third of a century it has been my privilege to present, with increasing fullness, certain of the evidences centering in the theme of this book, "The Abiding Gift of Prophecy." Particularly is this true of those features treated in the early and latter sections, dealing, first, with the Biblical evidences concerning the continuance of spiritual gifts, but more especially of their latter-day bestowal upon the remnant church. For years, ministerial groups and General Conference Councils have gone on record asking that these studies be placed in book form. This was duly promised by the author, and…

Author's Preface THE first reason for writing this book is the conviction that not only is the day of the Lord near and hasting greatly, but the end is nearer than most of us realize. This thought is developed in the opening chapters. Too often have we passed by the scriptures that warn of the unexpectedness of the advent, leaving such texts to unbelievers.

This is the agape motor of love…

The second person of the Trinity cannot be an Agape Son because He is taught as being equal with the Father by His own power and intellect or simply being the same power and intellect as the Father in one being. As Pope Benedict states God…

A beautiful sermon showing how the relationship between Adam and Eve was a reflection of the relationship of the Father and the Son and how in giving His son the Father was willing to risk eternal loss. It reflects accurately my understanding of the Father and the Son. At 22:42 Pr Bohr says: Now we have all read that text in Genesis where it speaks about the image of God. Genesis 1:26 says Then God, (Ellen White identifies this person as the Father) The God said, (she says He was speaking to His Son Jesus Christ.) Then God said, let…
