Did the spirit of antichrist also explain to you what your John 10:27-29 is all about?
Every little tiny element of God's word needs to be explained to you.
Sorry, I don't have time ... t'would take 100 years!

.
Ok. I've been patient, but I'm tired of you. Your posts are going to be reported.

Mindless in many case, yes, but NOT robots!

I've given up using the word "moron", so now I will say pathetic!

And your pal thinks you people are "Spirit-filled" ... when he has no idea at all what the word means!

Uh ... it's two words, and I think you're the one who may struggle with it's meaning, given it is not a phrase that appears anywhere in the Bible as you post it, which must mean (gasp!!!) it is a man-made term!

Ooops.

AMEN!

Bob does not see God as a loving and forgiving Father

You are 'quoting you" again to make your accusation against me.

Doesn't that bother you even a little??

I believe ALL of the Word of God - both John 3:16 AND Matt 18 and Matt 6 and even Ezek 18,, even Daniel 7 as in the case of this thread.

Which is why I am free to pay attention to the details on this subject and need not call you or anyone else here names.

Imagine that.

in Christ,

Bob

My response to the Scripture you quote is that none of them teach the Heretical concept of Investigative Judgment. .

The Bible detail you provide in your response to the scriptures posted is "instructive" for any objective unbiased reader comparing Daniel 7 to your post.

Here is Daniel 7 for those who prefer - the actual Bible.

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

I will post the text "again" because it appears that the instict to "Bible-avoidance" by those who oppose this topic is a hard habit break.

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


The pre-advent Judgment of Dan 7 - based on

investigating the records/books of heaven.

Dan 7
“I kept looking
Until thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His vesture was like white snow
And the hair of His head like pure wool.
His throne was ablaze with flames,
Its wheels were a burning fire
.
10 “A river of fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
Thousands upon thousands were attending Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The court sat,
And the books were opened.

...

13 “I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a Son of Man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
14 “And to Him was given dominion,
Glory and a kingdom,

That all the peoples, nations and men of every language
Might serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.
...
21 I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them
22 until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.

I don't see why our friends are reaching so often for 'Bible avoidance" as the solution to almost every topic that challenges man-made traditions.

That has to get old after a while.

Amy hit it right, you simply repeat posting of the same Scripture. Or did I say that? However, you can post the passages from Daniel or any other Scripture you choose but they will not support Investigative judgment. Why you ask? Because Investigative Judgment is a heretical doctrine. That is the truth.

Same comment about your repetitive posting of Matthew 18 and 6 or any other Scripture. God keeps that which is His!

No wait!

Are you serious?

You mean after those who started this thread and others that have come here - on a subject that is about the Daniel 7 text, where only I am happy to quote the "DETAILS of Daniel 7" and everyone runs from them... after all that -- still I keep coming back to the subject of the actual thread!!

And you are complaining about this "return to the subject of the thread" - the "Investigative Judgment"???

Is the new policy here "derail the subject of whatever thread you post on - and take no prisoners"??:tonofbricks:


However, you can post the passages from Daniel or any other Scripture you choose but they will not support Investigative judgment.
How could you possibly know that until you allow yourself to actually LOOK at the Bible text that speaks to the subject??

Papal pronouncement maybe??

Why you ask? Because Investigative Judgment is a heretical doctrine.
Ahhh yes! there it is the Papal pronouncement!

We need not look at the DETAILS in the Actual BIBLE when we can simply run on "papal pronouncement" to tell us when error is to be "named".

Same comment about your repetitive posting of Matthew 18 and 6 or any other Scripture. !
So true - I will take that idea of your "Papal pronouncement" vs my holding to Daniel 7 "details" or Matt 18 "Details" or Matt 6 "details" any day.

If you are happy with simple "harrumph" and papal pronouncement as the "substance" of your POV -- I am certainly happy with "actual Bible details" with the substance of mine.

As long as we are both happy with our free will choices - I think it is a win-win.

in Christ,

Bob

I am serious! You are trying to use the Bible to prove a lie! Can't be done!

I sort of favor :tonofbricks::tonofbricks: when someone misuses Scripture!

I looked at the text. I have read the text. The text has nothing to do with Investigative Judgment. Investigative Judgment is a heresy, the figment of a woman's imagination, and that is a fact.

Papal pronouncement maybe??
My Dad told me to respect and honor the Word of God. My Father through the Holy Spirit helps me understand His Written Word.

I certainly do not need Ellen White to instruct me in anything.
Ellen White herself declared (or plagiarized) in The Great Controversy that,"before Christ's work for the redemption of men is completed, there is a work of atonement for the removal of sin from the sanctuary. This is the service which began when the 2300 days ended." (1844).


Please read carefully and understand what Ellen White says to us from her book, The Great Controversy. In the chapter which deals with the event "that was foretold in prophecy to take place at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844," she writes:

"Attended by heavenly angels, our great High Priest enters the holy of holies, and there appears in the presence of God, to engage in the last acts of His ministration in behalf of man - to perform the work of investigative judgment, and to make an atonement for all who are shown to be entitled to its benefits.

"...So in the great day of final atonement and investigative judgment, the only cases considered are those of the professed people of God. The judgment of the wicked is a distinct and separate work, at a later period" (The Great Controversy, 1950 edition, page 480).

"As the books of record are opened in the judgment, the lives of all who have believed on Jesus come in review before God. Beginning with those who first lived upon the earth, our Advocate presents the cases of each successive generation, and closes with the living. Every name is mentioned, every case closely investigated. Names are accepted, names rejected". (The Great Controversy, 1950 edition, page 483). "At the time appointed for the judgment –the close of the 2300 days, in 1844– began the work of investigation and blotting out of sins. All who have ever taken upon themselves the name of Christ must pass Its searching scrutiny. Both the living and the dead are judged 'out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works ". (The Great Controversy, 1950 edition, page 486).

"Though all nations are to pass in judgment before God, yet He will examine the cases of each individual with as close and searching scrutiny as if there were not another being upon the earth. Every one must be tested, and found without spot or wrinkle or any such thing". (The Great Controversy, 1950 edition, page 490).

"The Judgment is now passing in the sanctuary above. Forty years has this work been in progress. Soon—none know how soon—it will pass to the cases of the living." (The Great Controversy, 1884 edition, page 315).

From the foregoing statements EGW makes four points and we will examine each one and compare it to Scripture.

Ahhh yes! there it is the Papal pronouncement!

Seventh Day Adventism is largely a "woman made religion", and she is dead! The RC is largely a "man made religion" but they do have a live pope just to keep things straight!

There is a cultic link between the RCC, SDA, CoC, and LDS. They all warp Scripture, and deny the true nature of the Gospel with extra Biblical fairy tales. Ellen White has about as much credibility as Joseph Smith, who has about as much credibility as the Pope, who has about as much credibility as the town drunk or Rush Limbaugh.

My, my Jesus has been busy since the Resurrection. Aside from His trips to South America, His multiple crucifixions to cover slipping in and out of salvation, now we learn that He has to complete a dissertation paper starting in 1844. Between that and all of Mary's miraculous appearances, they must not see much of each other. Not only that, how Jesus saves everyone who is baptized in one of these four "churches" with varying times and places, it is a wonder He ever hears our prayers.

Aw....now why you picking on Rush? I think he generally is spot on when it comes to politics. :thumbs:

The Bible vacuous responses related to this Daniel 7 subject are not at all surprising for a Dark Ages style response to "inconvenient Bible details".

But why resort to the harrumph, pulpit-pounding vitriol and ad populum of the dark ages in this the 21st century? One might have presumed that those tactics died out centuries ago.

The most consistent complaint here and on a few other threads -- is that I insist we look at the actual Bible details that speak to the subject of the thread. I will gladly take that one.


So here is Daniel 7 for those who prefer - the actual Bible.

I will post the text "again" because it appears that the instict to "Bible-avoidance" by those who oppose this topic is a hard habit break.

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

And so far where is the careful Bible student's response to "the Bible details" in the text above???? ....crickets...crickets...crickets...

How "instructive" for the objective unbiased reader.

Of course - I "know" there are in fact some posters "out there" that are known for their more "Bible attentive" response to challenging Bible chapters -- not saying they don't exist.

in Christ,

Bob

S/N you hit one out of the ballpark, particularly the remarks about 1844.:laugh::laugh::thumbsup::thumbs:

You did miss one cult though, the Watchtower Society, better known as Jehovah's Witnesses; but then there is the Word of Faith bunch?

If you would show how the passages from Daniel support the heresy of Investigative Judgment perhaps some Bible Scholar on the Forum would respond. But simply posting Scripture and saying, "There", does not prove anything.

I will concede there are many Scripture where the meaning should be obvious to the believer. However, there is nothing in the passage from Daniel that obviously supports Investigative Judgment.

The pre-advent Investigative Judgment in heaven - is shown in Daniel 7

Investigative: as in -- it is a judgement based on data/evidence contained in books of record. "the court sat and the books were opened" - this is highlighted in my quote

Pre-Advent: It is shown in the chapter to take place after the Roman Empire falls, after the 1260 years dark ages of persecution of the saints that follows the fall of Pagan Rome at some point - but before the 2nd coming of Christ and the setting up of Christ's Kingdom.

It is also shown in the text - to include the saints as subjects of the judgment for "judgment is passed in favor of the saints". also highlighted in the text - in the quote.

Hence my repeated appeal to "Bible details".

in Christ,

Bob

According to the OP:

In 1877, Uriah Smith, an early Adventist, declared, "Christ did not make the atonement when he shed his blood upon the cross. Let this fact be fixed forever in the mind”.

Ellen White herself declared (or plagiarized) in The Great Controversy that,"before Christ's work for the redemption of men is completed, there is a work of atonement for the removal of sin from the sanctuary. This is the service which began when the 2300 days ended." (1844).
So Bob, do you agree with these statements? Christ did NOT make atonement when He poured out His blood on the cross? Even tho He Himself said "IT IS FINISHED"? Is that correct?

Ellen White claimed that the sanctuary had to be cleansed of sin. God's throne room in heaven has NO sin to be cleansed of!

The burden on proof is on you! You must show scripture in which ANY of this is taught.

Sola Scriptura!
