When you ask lunar sabbatarians where the origin of the belief came from they are apt to say, “Genesis chapter one.” Mr. Brown claims his concept comes from “prophetic revelation.” Because of his associations and personal testimony I posit that the lunar sabbath movement is a modern invention whose seed was germinated in the white supremacist movement while some Scripture and historical notes were adapted to fit. It was then repackaged as a lost ancient truth.

Just wanted to share this conclusive quote from the Spirit of Prophecy showing very plainly (once again) that sister White understood Christ to be the only begotten Son of His Father BEFORE coming to earth in humanity to effect the plan of salvation:If God could have changed his Law to meet man in his fallen condition, would he not have done this, and retained his only-begotten Son in heaven?--He certainly would. But because his Law was as changeless as his character, he gave his beloved Son, who was above Law, and one with himself, to meet the penalty which his…

We have been reading through some of the Signs of the times articles and came across a three paragraph introduction to an article by Ellen White concerning her Christian Experience and labours. The introduction is written by James White and his words are beneficial for all to consider escpeically today. Read them carefully and see if they are not applicable to us today.     The religion of Jesus Christ is within the grasp of even the youthful mind when taught from the plain letter of the word of god. It is then that Christian experience appears rational and beautiful.…

The practical application of a theoretical truth The last years have brought great debates in the middle of God’s Church on the Godhead subject. The people are torn apart and the crisis seems to grow in intensity. In the middle of these debates one may ask a logical question: how does knowing this subject help me in my personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ? What is the use of believing the right thing about God and what is the loss of being wrong on this subject? Personally, I have been asked these kinds of questions and, indeed they require…

With the growing number of voices claiming the end is now, this presentation offers some perspectives to consider as to why it might be a few extra years than claimed.  

Why are there so many denominations within professed Christianity when all profess to derive their doctrines from the Bible? I was really glad to see the reason for many denominations answered so clearly from the Spirit of Prophecy and work of the pioneers. Here then is: THE REASON FOR MANY DENOMINATIONS  The Great Controversy PG 291-292 When first constrained to separate from the English Church, the Puritans had joined themselves together by a solemn covenant, as the Lord's free people, "to walk together in all His ways made known or to be made known to them." --J. Brown, The Pilgrim…

        The Wonder of the Cross Dear Maranatha Media Subscriber, The end of 2018 is fast approaching and what a year it has been in the forward march of truth as it is in Jesus Christ. On my final journey home from Bangkok this year, I recounted many of the experiences and all the seeds that have been sown in the hearts of men and women around the world.  A few figures to begin with: - 126 hours of flying visiting 12 countries  - 160 plus meetings within those locations. - many baptisms, our Father knows who…

After our last Wednesday night presentation on Christ our High Priest Lorelle and I have been mediating on how close our dear Saviour is to us. E.J. Waggoner wrote  Christ has come in the flesh, my flesh. Why? Is it because I am so good? - O, no; for there is no good flesh for Christ to come into. Christ has come in the flesh, in every man's flesh. "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." The life is the light, and lights every man. In other words, every man in this world lives…

The Bible itself is a better source of information about Moses than any movie, and more interesting, too. If the Bible is read with unbelief, it becomes boring, because doubt short-circuits practically every statement and paralyzes the understanding. But if it is read with heart-felt belief, it grips the attention. The Holy Spirit re-creates the happenings described there and you see it all in three-dimensional realism, a vividness that can never be forgotten, as a movie can be.

Hey Guys :) Just wanted to share some of my personal study with you as I found this really challenging. I've been studying with the youth from church who keep using the spirit of prophecy to substantiate the second fundamental. So, I decided to see for myself what the prophet had to say on the matter.  I did a word search for "godhead" on the EGW app and came up with a number of references. Going through them I noticed that Sister White referred to the Holy Spirit as the "Third Person of the Godhead." At first that bothered me, but I realised…

Mat 26:37-38: "And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me." There are many points in the life of Peter that we can draw lessons from. The Plan of salvation is laid out in many wonderful bible stories. The process of repentance and seeing the goodness of God, is inextricably linked together. Christ longs to reveal the love of the Father and Himself to us, but when we get…

The claim is often made that Adventists openly referred to the Triune Trinity before the Death of Ellen White and since she said nothing against it that this provides further proof of her shift towards the doctrine. While there were some self confessed Athanasians like H.C Lacey and Leroy Froom, others simply used the term to refer to the original teaching. It was essentially a rebranding of the doctrine.

Many people have puzzled over Ellen White’s letter to her daughter in-law Mary White in 1882 Mary, if you can get me a good box of herrings, fresh ones, please do so. These last ones that Willie got are bitter and old. If you can buy cans, say a half dozen cans of good tomatoes, please do so. We shall need them. If you can get a few cans of good oysters, get them. (Letter 16, 1882, dated May 31, 1882, from Healdsburg, California).

In the previous article we took a close look at Statement number two of the 28 fundamental beliefs.  We directly compared two polar opposite interpretations.  Then wondered, "how can two extremely different Trinity interpretations be supported from the same statement?"  Good question.  My opinion is that the "Trinity" statement was designed, and in reality endorses Tri-theism (three co-equal, co-eternal, co-supreme God Beings).  Having said that, it is written with enough ambiguity that a Modalist or classic Trinitarian could subscribe as well.  Yet, if the whole purpose of a creedal statement of faith is to "define and profess the truth," why…

Was Roger An Angel? I’m not sure. I met him on a train. About 6 months ago, I was waiting on a train station with my 11 year old son Daniel (who has autism). A terminating train had just been and gone. Daniel began screaming and hitting me. No reasoning about why we did not get on that train could penetrate his brain now that he was in “meltdown.” This is not just the tantrum of a toddler wanting their own way. It is the behavior of one who is struggling to make sense of the world around them. He…

[Cristina emailed me this quote this morning and what a blessing it was. I don't recall seeing this before. It speaks so clearly of the work of our one intercessor and how His Spirit intercedes within us. Thank you Cristina for sending this. - Adrian] Hi Adrian, I've never seen this statement before, and didn't know if you've seen it. I'm sending it just in case, it's helped me to understand the Bible verse to which it refers. “We have only one channel of approach to God. Our prayers can come to him through one name only,--that of the Lord…

What role will God play in the final judgment? And in human day-to-day life? Someone is injured or dies in an accident: did God ordain that tragedy? Someone gets cancer: did God give it to him or her? Does God act in the final judgment like a judge in a traffic court--His decision is the final word? The usual answer implies, Yes. He has the power, and if you're smart you'll knuckle under. He's the Judge in the grand Traffic Court. Don't ask questions.

Since the world has begun to be united I would like to share some thoughts not on that falsehood of "unity in love" which is now promoted by the Harlot of Rome and her helpers but on the real divine unity which Jesus wants us to be in. What can we find about the unity between the divine persons and us in the Bible? Jesus himself has said (Joh 10,30): "I and my Father are one." The Apostle John declares (1Joh 5,7): "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three…

I have very fond memories of reading through the sermons from A.T Jones from the General Conference Bulletin of 1895. When reading these lecturers, it was brought to my mind that Christ is very close to us and has fully identified Himself with me as a man. One of the best memories I have was reading sermon no. 15 where Elder Jones outlines how the Psalms speak to us all about Christ.

  (My Words in Red, Quoted Text in Black)"   I have read this article in time past and thought it was a blessing to me.  Its Ellen White reproving brother Chapman in 1891 of his views of the 144000 and the Holy Spirit, which is Christ, and thought it to be the Angel Gabriel.  Although the Lord uses his Angels as ministering spirits to those whom are coming to the Light, The Holy Spirit remains to be the Omnipresent Spirit of Christ called the Comforter.  The following article is repeated in Acts of the Apostles pg-51-52. What she did tell this…
