What is the OFFICIAL Sda Views On Gospel And Ellen White?

'cause you do not answer,

Was Jesus the Son of God before He became the son of man?

 

I gave you the freedom to answer the question in ANY context you like. Yet it still scares you to give an answer.

Posting scripture having nothing to do with the issue does not vindicate your position.

Do you mean "without" impunity?

 

On the contrary I answer it over half a dozen times. And then you seem to "blank out" as if nothing was posted .. for reasons I find innexplicable.


Sadly you continue to reject the Trinity - why?

How many dozens of times do you need this same answer?

How many times was I supposed to say that God the Son was incarnate as Jesus and God the Son had no beginning.

Do you not understand the Trinity at all??

Here is your clue 'again'

God the Father - had no beginning - is from eternity past
God the Son - had not beginning - is from eternity past
God the Holy Spirit - had no beginning - is from eternity past.

What part of this are you having a hard time with??

Ok now you have bold.. and underline.. to help you with your moments where everything apparently "goes blank"

 

You said, "God knows who is in obedience to His perfect will,"

I asked, "Are you?"

You said, "... I am not omniscient, not even in regards my own heart, for God knows it perfectly, and I imperfectly. His judgment of me is true, for His word is truth. God is judge, He is righteous and there is no iniquity in Him. ..."

You come on here preaching obedience to God's perfect will needed for salvation and you don't even know what that perfect will is and if you are even doing God's perfect will in your own life. How is that instructive?

 

By you logic we are also not under "thou shalt not commit adultery" or "thou shalt have no other gods before me". Jesus fulfilling doesn't translate into Jesus annulling.

"No one jot or one tittle". Remember?

You keeping Sunday is based on post apostolic tradition which violates Christ's teachings.

 

Was Jesus the Son of God before He became the son of man?

what was you answer?

 

steaver said: ↑
you cannot then read another letter of Scripture and say that it means you are saved OF yourselves by keeping a law

Simple test to see if.... "you don't do that".

Question: Do YOU believe YOU will be damned to hell if YOU do not keep the Law?

You need to either explain your problem with the english language or else explain what part of the answer above you find most difficult to understand. Otherwise it appears you are merely claiming to 'blank out' when the answer is posted - these many times.

As we both know - pretending to "blank out" is not the most compelling response one could have.

Matt 18
32 Then summoning him, his lord *said to him, ‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’ 34 And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him. 35 My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.”

Romans 11
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

1 Cor 6
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified

Not even remotely - you yourself admit to twisting the texts so horrifically that you get something Paul writes to contradict what you read in the teaching of Christ!!

Were we simply "not supposed to notice"????

It does not do so in a way that contradicts the teaching of Christ in Matthew 18 or of Paul in Romans 11.

How many times must you be reminded that your efforts to "insert" your extreme inference into Ephesians 2 so as to get it to contradict the Gospel teaching of Christ - is pure nonsense??

True but I don't do that.

What we have in that case is another one your fallacies where you try to "insert doctrine for others to believe" in some of the worst straw-man creative-writing flights-of-fancy I have seen.

So I suggest you stop doing it.

1. I accept the Bible teaching that "sin is transgression of the Law" 1 John 3:4.. do you?
2. I accept the teaching of Christ in Matthew 18... do you?
3. I accept that after a person is saved they do not lose salvation each time they sin -- rather they repent and ask for forgiveness.
4. I accept the Matthew 18 teaching of Christ.. .do you?
5. I accept that not taking God's name in vain is one of God's commandments and that saints do not ignore such sin... do you?

 

Now back to my question....

Simple test to see if.... "you don't do that".

Question: Do YOU believe YOU will be damned to hell if YOU do not keep the Law?

 

Now back to my answer

I guess you want me to alter my question a bit to fit your answer. Ok....

Do YOU believe YOU will be damned to hell if YOU do not keep the Law and do not repent and ask for forgiveness each time?

 

I believe that in Matthew 18 Christ teaches correct doctrine - when He teaches forgiveness revoked in response to determined rebellion against God.
Period.

You have already admitted that you think Christ's doctrine would be error today.
Clearly - we differ.

It does not get any easier than that.
I am sticking with the teaching of Christ - and actual scripture on that point.

Apparently Paul agrees with Christ -

==============================

Matt 18
32 Then summoning him, his lord *said to him, ‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’ 34 And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him. 35 My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.”

Romans 11
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

=================

p.s. I would thank you for constantly bringing this point out -- I rather enjoy it.

 

And that then means salvation is of YOURSELF. Period.

Would like to see that quote from me somewhere.....

See section "Michael the archangel [X4] - Appendix 4 – The Son of the Father, Jesus, who is JEHOVAH Emmanuel, the Eternal and great I AM, God manifest in the flesh"

I pray that this answer from scripture [KJB] is clear to you, and about where I stand.

 

I know the answer , I was asking him. You did not get the question as well.

Do you believe Jesus was the Son of God in Heaven BEFORE being a man?

 

I am not sure how my reply does not specifically answer this question, even from the very first line.

The person of the Son of God [the Father] always existed in eternity past before the earth was ever formed, thus existed before mankind ever was called into existence. The name Jesus simply means JEHOVAH is Saviour. his name is found throughout the OT [H3444] - "yeshû‛âh", which is great for witnessing to Jews and Muslims with [for they always ask if Jesus is mentioned by name in the OT, and the answer is "Yes."]:

For instance see:

Genesis 49:18 KJB - I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.

Exodus 14:13 KJB - And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

2 Chronicles 20:17 KJB - Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

Jonah 2:9 KJB - But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

Psalms 119:174 KJB - I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.

JEHOVAH Jesus, etc.​

The SDA, all branches Mormons all groups JW's, and even Islam share similar end time prophecy where the groups of their religion will be better and better (holier) till they can be the same as Heaven. This simple test or question can show the truth of any group. All these are the same lie different versions but the same based on Human performance to achieve perfection.

 

Could you begin a new thread on this? This one is to end soon, and I do not desire to reply with so short a time left here in this one.
