Will the “Real” Last Message to a Dying World
Please Stand Up!
“Health Journals to Be Circulated.--In all our work caution should be used that
no one branch be made a specialty, while other interests are left to suffer.
There has not been that interest taken in the circulation of our health
journals that there should be. The circulation of these journals must not be
neglected, or the people will suffer great loss.” {PM 315.2}
Laval Picard is very adamant that the last
message is ONLY the 1888 message of Righteousness by faith. So Laval teaches
pretty well NOTHING ELSE! He has Ellen White quotes to support his view.
Kevin Straub differs from Laval and believes
that the last message is about the character of God’s love. So Kevin
specializes in that realm. Kevin Straub has Ellen White quotes to support his
view.
Then Christine Guardo comes along and says the
last message is the Medical Missionary work. Ellen White did say that the
health message was the right arm of the gospel and the gospel is righteousness
by faith and the love of Christ as displayed in His Incarnation sacrifice even
before the cross.
Laval has told me personally that he will
never accept that Incarnation gift of the Holy Spirit as the soul of the life
of Christ. He prefers Rome’s Trinity Doctrine. He was raised a Catholic so
can’t seem to wean himself of that doctrine. Thus, incongruously, he supports
an antichrist view of the Godhead, while specializing in the Righteousness by
Faith message!
Kevin Straub can’t seem to discern the truth
on the Godhead. Ellen White does say that the Godhead—the personality of God
and Christ is a pillar, landmark doctrine. She uses both words. So it seems
that Kevin’s ministry embraces an antichrist stance on the Godhead as well.
It is quite amazing how Laval and Kevin cannot
see that the Incarnation sacrifice before the cross, is the greatest underlying
thesis and basis to prove the efficacy of righteousness by faith and the
Character of God’s love, because indeed it was His eternal Incarnation
sacrifice that demonstrated most His “highest good, crowning gift that heaven can
bestow,” said Ellen White.
Danny Vierra and Christine Guard don’t teach
the correct doctrine on the Godhead. They quite specialize in the health arena. Danny even calls his specialization
in that realm the Elijah message. Neither Danny or Christine teach a correct
view on the Godhead, so they support an antichrist doctrine while claiming the
Elijah message. Very interesting indeed!
Might we more properly and rationally conclude
that the “last work,” the “last message” includes all of the above? Is it not a
bit bigoted to specialize in one of the four areas when Ellen White says not
to? Any true independent ministry will advocate all of the above and will not
support an antichrist teaching on the Godhead. There are many articles on this
crucial pillar, landmark doctrine on my Website, as there are articles on each
of the above issues. Search the word Godhead on the intra-site search engine
for the most neglected issue of the four.
Isn’t it strange that some say we cannot
understand the Godhead and Ellen White says it is a pillar, landmark doctrine!
Isn’t it strange that Ellen White says the Incarnation
“As the worker studies the
life of Christ, and the character of His mission is dwelt upon, each fresh
search will reveal something more deeply interesting than has yet been
unfolded. The subject is inexhaustible. The
study of the incarnation of Christ, His atoning sacrifice and mediatorial work,
will employ the mind of the diligent student as long as time shall last.”--Gospel Workers, p. 251.
{7ABC 444.1}
The study of the Incarnation will employ the find
of the diligent student as long as time shall last, but some independent
ministry leaders are saying we cannot understand it. Amazing!
“But while the minister is by some exalted
to the place of God, and is seeking to do what God never designed he should
do,--trying to work out his own salvation and the salvation of others,--by
others he is not treated with the respect and reverence due to God's appointed
agencies. Those who disrespect the minister
of God will not accept his counsel, and
they refuse to be helped by any of God's appointed instrumentalities. They have determined that they will go to
God alone for help; but while they have this spirit, God does not give them the
help they desire; for their pride, their self-esteem, their erroneous
ideas, must be corrected before they can be in a situation where they can
appreciate help from God. {RH, October 10,
1893 par. 8}
“They are blinded by
Satan. When God's mirror is held up before them, instead of repenting and
turning from sin, they become indignant to think that they should be reproved.
They think that an uncalled-for attack is being made upon them, and that the
messengers of God are their enemies.” {RH, October 22, 1901 par. 10}’ E.G.
White, Review and Herald, Vol. 4, 345.
"In the fear and love of God I tell those before
whom I stand today that there is increased light for us, and that great
blessings come with the reception of this light. And when I see my brethren
stirred with anger against God's messages and messengers, I think of similar
scenes in the life of Christ and the Reformers. The reception given to God's
servants in past ages is the same as the reception that those today receive
through whom God is sending precious rays of light. The leaders of the people
today pursue the same course of action that the Jews pursued. They criticize
and ply question after question, and refuse to admit evidence, treating the
light sent them in the very same way that the Jews treated the light Christ
brought them." E.G. White, The 1888 Materials, Vol. 2, p. 911.
“In
rejecting Christ the Jewish people committed the unpardonable sin; and by
refusing the invitation of mercy, we may commit the same error. We offer insult
to the Prince of life, and put Him to shame before the synagogue of Satan and
before the heavenly universe when we
refuse to listen to His delegated messengers, and instead listen to the agents
of Satan, who would draw the soul away from Christ. So long as one does
this, he can find no hope or pardon, and he will finally lose all desire to be
reconciled to God. Desire of Ages,
pp. 324-325.
Rejecting
light because we don’t like the messenger or some of his/her mannerisms, will
be a great test to some of the humility they must possess to be saved. Ellen
White said we must accept light no matter who it comes from. That is going to
be and already has been a decisive test for some that is wrought and fraught
with eternal consequences.
“There is constant need of
earnest, decided messages of warning. God will have men who are true to duty.
At the right time He sends His faithful messengers to do a work similar to that
of Elijah.”—5 Testimonies, 254.
“Those who refuse to hear the admonitions and
warnings given by God’s faithful messengers are not to be retained in the
church. They are to be disfellowshipped;
for they will be as Achan in the camp of Israel—deceived and deceiving.
Who, after reading the record of Achan’s sin and
punishment, can think it according to the will of God that those who do
wickedly, refusing to repent, are to be retained in the church? To retain them
would be an insult to the God of heaven.”—Letter
215, 1902; 5 Bible Commentary, 1096.
That is how subjects are shaken out of God’s
Kingdom. They refuse to even hear the admonitions and warnings given by God’s
faithful messengers or they hear and reject them.
What special trait did all the major and minor
prophets have in common? Men such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Joel, and Malachi
and their brethren. It was not ordination into the ministry. Not one of them
was a minister or priest. They fearlessly reproved sin. That is why God called
them to be His special messengers. You and I cannot read a page in their
writings without quickly coming across their strong denunciation of iniquity.
What is it that made Samuel and Nathan so special? They defended God, even in
the presence of kings. (Read PK 147-148, not quoted here.)
“I have no
smooth message to bear to those who have been so long as false guideposts,
pointing the wrong way. If you reject God’s delegated messengers, you reject
Christ.” E.G. White, Testimonies to Ministers, p. 97.
