My Vision on the Alphabet of Heresies
Involved With the Alpha and Omega of Apostasy
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye
generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I
send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall
kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and
persecute them from city to city:
Mat 23:35 That upon you may
come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous
Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias,
whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All
these things shall come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the
prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have
gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her
wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you
desolate.
***
Jhn 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of
his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
***
Rev 2:9 I know thy
works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the
blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue
of Satan.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will
make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but
do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to
know that I have loved thee.
The vision given to me this Thursday, March 19,
2015, regards the following commentary from the book 1888 Re-Examined by the
late Robert J. Wieland & Donald K. Short. My vision confirms the findings
of those men, but gives additional insights into the Alphabet of the Alpha and
Omega of apostasy. Though this vision gives much of what I have expressed many
times before on the issue of the Godhead, it makes this issue plainer than ever
and adds new dimensions of proof evidence as to what Ellen White meant by her
words: an alphabet of deadly heresies. Though the old evidence is necessary to
support the new, you will miss important new evidence if you don’t read this
vision.
The following is a quote from 1888 Re-Examined
until I say End of quote:
Where Lies the Truth About the "Omega"?
Excerpted from the 1958 version of
1888 Re-examined, By Robert J. Wieland &
Donald K. Short
“In a recent Spectrum, Vol. 12, No. 2, Dr. Robert Johnston revives Christian’s
idea, citing D.E. Robinson as support. However he gives no Ellen White evidence
for this view. She never at any time in the near decade afterward intimated
that the loss of the Battle Creek institution was the omega. Never does she say
that it is "events." Johnston weakens his case by conceding that alpha and omega are "parts of a simple and direct
continuum." If so, the latter must be of the same nature as the former—not
"events" but "doctrines of devils" cleverly masquerading as
supposed truth.
The idea of the omega being an
"event" of the past seems contrary to Ellen White’s declarations:
(1)
She said "many will depart from the faith" in that
experience. But Christian says "only a few of our members left us"
when we lost the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
(2)
She said that the omega would be a "danger," the end of an alphabet
of deadly heresies and doctrines of devils. Being
of the same alphabet, it must therefore be heresies and evil doctrines, only
more acute, more subtle, and more specious as omega ultimately follows alpha.
How could the physical loss of an institution fulfill the prophecy?
(3)
When the omega should come, she said, "I trembled for our
people." But the large Sanitarium was rebuilt at the express disapproval
of Ellen White; why would she "tremble for our people" at the
prospect of losing that which had become only a snare to them and should never
have been rebuilt on such a large scale?
(4) The alphabet symbolism requires a development of apostasy and confusion within the
church. The alpha is represented as
follows in her writings; the omega must necessarily be of the same nature:
Apostasy, wrong principles, brilliant
sparkling ideas, theories and sophistries that undermine the foundation
principles of the faith, perversion of truth, fanciful and spiritualistic
interpretations of the Scriptures, deceivableness of unrighteousness, seeds of
discord, of unbelief, of infidelity … sown broadcast, insidious fallacies,
sentiments of the enemy, falsehood and pleasing fables, infidelity and
skepticism, a multitude of deceptions, a yoke of human manufacture, cunningly
devised fables, a lie (these are verbatim expressions taken from Special Testimonies, Series B., Nos. 2 and
7, concerning the alpha).
“The great controversy between Christ and
Satan still goes on. We have now come to "the future" that is spoken
of here:
In the future, truth will be counterfeited by
the precepts of men. Deceptive theories will be presented as safe doctrines.
False science is one of the agencies that Satan used in the heavenly courts. …
Do not present theories or tests that have no
foundation in the Bible. … "It is written" is the
test that must be brought home to everyone” (RH January 21, 1904; Ev 600, 601).
“By now, our enemy must have acquired
consummate skill. It is disturbing to note Dr. Kellogg’s sincerity when he said
he thought he was teaching the same things Ellen White taught. This is why many
of our brethren were caught unawares:
The track of truth lies close beside the track
of error, and both tracks may seem to be one to minds which are not worked by
the Holy Spirit, and which therefore are not quick to discern the difference
between truth and error. …
Those in favor of giving [The Living Temple] a
wide circulation declared: "It contains the very sentiments that Sister
White has been teaching." This assertion struck right to my heart. I felt
heartbroken. …
There may be in my writings many statements
which, taken from their connection, and interpreted according to the mind of
the writer of "Living Temple, "would seem to be in harmony with the
teachings of this book. This may give apparent support to the assertion that
the sentiments in "Living Temple" are in harmony with my writings.” (Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 2,
pp. 7, 52, 53; cf. Ellen White’s
statements that appear to come close to pantheism in 8T 255-261. There is no pantheism
there, but an undiscerning reader might think it is there).
“Whenever the omega does appear, it will very
likely claim the support of the Spirit of Prophecy, and "many"
undiscerning minds will agree. And it is also possible that some prominent, influential
leaders will foster the deception. True Christlikeness of character will lead
those in union with Christ to protest. When self is crucified with Christ a
holy boldness is possible:
When men standing in the position of leaders
and teachers work under the power of spiritualistic ideas and sophistries,
shall we keep silent, for fear of injuring their influence, while souls are
being beguiled? …
Will the men in our institutions keep silent,
allowing insidious fallacies to be promulgated, to the ruin of souls?” (ibid., pp. 9, 13, 14).
“Ellen White at last regarded the omega trials
as an experience to come after her death:
‘I am charged to tell our people that some do not realize that
the devil has device after device and he carries these out in ways that they do
not expect. Satan's agencies will invent ways to make sinners out of saints. I
tell you now, that when I am laid to rest, great changes will take place. I do
not know when I shall be taken, but I desire to warn all against the devices of
the devil. I want the people to know that I warned them fully before my death.
I do not know especially what changes will take place, but Satan's devices will
be brought before the people. But they should watch every conceivable sin that
Satan will try to immortalize.’” [Letter sent out by W.C. White, Elmshaven, Feb. 24, 1915. - This document is not found on
the EGW CD-Rom.]
End quotation from the book 1888 Re-Examined by the late Robert
J. Wieland and Donald K. Short
My Vision on
the Alphabet of Heresies Involved With the Alpha and Omega of Apostasy
In vision, the Lord showed me that the
following quotation from Acts of the
Apostles is most relative to the expression “…an alphabet of deadly
heresies and doctrines of devils.” Paul’s work was to instruct the Corinthian
converts in the rudiments, the very alphabet of the Christian faith. Likewise,
an alphabet of heresies would be the very opposite--instruction that involves
the rudiments of heresies that totally destroy the Christian faith.
“It had been Paul’s work to instruct the Corinthian converts in the rudiments, the very alphabet, of the Christian faith. He had been obliged to instruct them as those who were ignorant of the operations of divine power upon the heart. At that time they were unable to comprehend the mysteries of salvation; for “the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” Verse 14
. Paul had endeavored to sow the seed,
which others must water. Those who followed him must carry forward the work
from the point where he had left it, giving spiritual light and knowledge in
due season, as the church was able to bear it.” {AA 271.2}
“When the apostle took up his work in
Corinth, he realized that he must introduce most
carefully the great truths he wished to teach. He knew that among his hearers would be proud believers in human theories, and exponents of false systems of worship, who were groping with blind
eyes, hoping to find in the book of nature theories that would contradict the
reality of the spiritual and immortal life as revealed in the Scriptures. He also knew that critics would endeavor to controvert the Christian interpretation of the
revealed word, and that skeptics would treat the gospel of Christ with scoffing
and derision. {AA 272.1}
As he endeavored to lead
souls to the foot of the cross, Paul did not venture to rebuke, directly, those
who were licentious, or to show how heinous was their sin in the sight of a
holy God. Rather he set before them the true object of life
and tried to impress upon their minds the lessons of the divine Teacher, which,
if received, would lift them from worldliness and sin to purity and
righteousness. He dwelt especially upon practical godliness and the holiness to which those must
attain who shall be accounted worthy of a place in God’s kingdom. He longed to see the
light of the gospel of Christ piercing the darkness of their minds, that they
might see how offensive in the sight of God were their
immoral practices. Therefore the burden of his teaching among them was
Christ and Him crucified. He sought to show them that their
most earnest study and their greatest joy must be the wonderful truth of salvation through repentance
toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.” {AA 272.2}
“The philosopher turns
aside from the light of salvation, because it puts his proud theories to shame;
the worldling refuses to receive it, because it would
separate him from his earthly idols. Paul saw that the
character of Christ must be understood before men could love Him or view the
cross with the eye of faith. Here must begin that
study which shall be the science and the song of the redeemed through all
eternity. In the light of the cross alone can the true value of the human soul
be estimated.” {AA 273.1}
“The refining influence of the grace of God
changes the natural disposition of man. Heaven would not be desirable to the
carnal-minded; their natural, unsanctified hearts would feel no attraction
toward that pure and holy place, and if it were possible for them to enter,
they would find there nothing congenial. The propensities that control the
natural heart must be subdued by the grace of Christ before fallen man is
fitted to enter heaven and enjoy the society of the pure, holy angels. When man
dies to sin and is quickened to new life in Christ, divine love fills his
heart; his understanding is sanctified; he drinks from an inexhaustible
fountain of joy and knowledge, and the light of an eternal day shines upon his
path, for with him continually is the Light Paul had sought to impress upon the
minds of his Corinthian brethren the fact that he and the ministers associated
with him were but men commissioned by God to teach the truth, that they were
all engaged in the same work, and that they were alike dependent upon God for
success in their labors. The discussion
that had arisen in the church regarding the relative merits of different ministers
was not in the order of God, but was the result of cherishing the attributes of
the natural heart. “While one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of
Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers
by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted,
Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth
anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” 1
Corinthians 3:4-7. {AA 273.3}
Paul’s prime work involved the operations of
the DIVINE POWER of the Holy Spirit upon the heart--the mysteries of salvation
involving THE SPIRIT OF GOD. The alpha heresy as introduced by John Harvey
Kellogg, involved the personality of God and Christ. It involved a total
perversion of the heavenly Sanctuary Atonement sacrifice that involved the
personality of God and Christ, and their HOLY SPIRIT, which is the DIVINE POWER
upon the heart.
Scripture teaches that Christ’s grace must be
given for obedience and salvation. Rom. 1:5. Ellen White defined grace as the
Holy Spirit of Christ:
“They must have His grace,
the Spirit of Christ, to help their infirmities, or they cannot form a
Christian character. Jesus loves to have us come to Him, just as we are—sinful,
helpless, dependent.” Faith and Works, p. 38.
“There must be a power
working from within, a new life from above, before man can be changed
from sin to holiness. That power is
Christ. His grace [the Spirit of Christ] alone can quicken the lifeless
faculties of the soul, and attract it to God, to holiness.” (ST,
May 28, 1902, par. 3).
Act 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up
his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his
iniquities.
"The Power of God in the
Third Person.--The prince of the power of evil can only be held in check by the
power of God in the third person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit.” -- Special Testimonies, Series A, No. 10,
p. 37. (1897).
The Alpha Heresy Compared With the Omega Heresy
The Alpha heresy was introduced
by Kellogg. The Alpha heresy was a perversion of the truth about the
personality of God and Christ and the sacrifice that took place in the heavenly
Sanctuary Atonement at the Incarnation of the Son of God. A study of the Alpha
heresy begins in Selected Messages,
Bk. 1, p. 193.
On page 200, same reference,
Ellen White said: “In the book Living Temple (Kellogg’s book), there is
presented the alpha of deadly heresies. The omega will follow, and will be
received by those who are not willing to heed the warning God has given.” 1SM, p. 200.
What the Book Living
Temple Taught
Kellogg’s Living Temple book
taught the pantheistic theory that the Holy Spirit of God Almighty was in every
living created thing, including man of course. In 1SM 202, we find the
following statement:
“It (Kellogg’s book) introduces
that which is nought but speculation in regard to the personality of God and
where His presence is. No one on this earth has a right to speculate on this
question. The more fanciful theories are discussed, the less
men will know of God and the truth that sanctifies the soul.”
Kellogg taught that God’s
presence was in every living thing. Later he changed that view to teach that it
is the Holy Spirit that is in every living thing. Ellen White told him that he
was still wrong! In 1SM p. 204 she said:
“The spiritualistic theories
regarding the personality of God, followed to their
logical conclusion sweeps away the whole Christian economy. They estimate as NOTHING the light that
Christ came from heaven to give John to give to His people. They teach that the
scenes just before us are not of sufficient importance to be given special
attention. They make of no effect the truth of heavenly origin, and rob the
people of God of their past experience, giving them instead a false science.”
That is a general description of
what Kellogg’s book achieved, but what are the nitty
gritty details? They are as follows:
·
It was/is a
spiritualistic, pantheistic theory to conclude that the presence of Christ’s
Holy Spirit is in every animate, living thing. Followed to it’s logical conclusion, this spiritualistic theory
SWEEPS AWAY THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN ECONOMY.
·
How is the entire
Christian economy swept away the spiritualistic, pantheistic theory that the
presence of Christ’s Holy Spirit is in every living, animate thing that was
created? The answer to this is what even ministering brethren at the time, even
such illustrious men as Jones and Waggoner, did not discern--namely that if
Christ’s Holy Spirit is in every living thing from creation, the following
teachings would be false.
Act 3:26 Unto you first
God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away
every one of you from his iniquities.
"The
Power of God in the Third Person.--The prince of the power of evil can only be
held in check by the power of God in the third person of the Godhead, the Holy
Spirit.-- Special
Testimonies, Series A, No. 10, p. 37. (1897).
·
Why would those
teachings be false by Kellogg’s teaching of pantheism; that the Holy Spirit of
Christ is in every living thing? God’s Word says that He raised
up His Son Jesus, and sent Him to bless us in turning away every one of us from
our iniquities. The words "Raised up” and “sent him to bless you” in Acts
3:26 (above) refer to the Incarnation of the Son of God, implying that the
Heavenly Incarnation Atonement Sacrifice was entirely requisite and necessary
to bless us in turning away every one of us from our iniquities. And since we won’t
be saved without turning away from our iniquities, Acts 3:26 also means that
the Incarnation sacrifice was entirely necessary for
salvation.
·
Ellen White says the
same thing as Acts 3:26, in other words: She says that the temptations of the
prince of the power of evil, Satan, can only be held in check by the power of
God in the THIRD PERSON of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. Follow carefully: If
God's work in raising up and sending His Son, His
Son’s Holy Spirit, (THE INCARNATION ACT) was/is essential to salvation by
removing our iniquities so that we can be saved, do you see the folly of
Kellogg’s foolish, false science, spiritualistic theory carried to its
conclusion? If Christ’s Holy Spirit was already in us from creation, why would
He have to be Incarnated into the likeness of sinful flesh which began in the
Heavenly Sanctuary Atonement, IF HE WAS ALREADY IN EVERY HUMAN BEING AS SOON AS
THEY WERE BORN? If you can see the folly of this teaching, you have more
spiritual discernment than Kellogg, Jones and Waggoner, and all the ministering
brethren! They could not understand why Kellogg’s theory did away with the
heavenly Sanctuary Incarnation Atonement, and thus the entire Christian
economy! Notice:
Sanctuary Gone Atonement Gone -- "In a
representation which passed before me, I saw a certain work being done by
medical missionary workers. Our ministering brethren were looking on, watching what was being done,
but they did not seem to understand. The foundation of our faith, which was
established by so much prayer, such earnest searching of the Scriptures, was
being taken down, pillar by pillar. Our faith was to have nothing to rest
upon--the sanctuary was gone, the
atonement was gone." E.G. White, The Upward Look, 152.
· Dr. Kellogg and cronies were
the medical missionary workers Ellen White is referring to. It is positively
amazing to me that A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner sided completely with
Kellogg, and thus rejected God’s Word in Acts 3:26, and Ellen White. Yes, they
totally rejected Ellen White after their association with Kellogg.
· All the ministering brethren
were LOOKING ON AND WATCHING what was being done, BUT LIKE THE DUMB DOGS OF
ISAIAH 56:10-12, who cannot understand, they did not discern the serious
logical conclusion to Kellogg’s spiritualistic theory of pantheism.
The Alphabet of
Continuum Heresies Resulting in the Omega of Apostasy
It is positively amazing that for my 45 years
membership in the SDA church, I never heard ONE SDA minister
explain how and why Kellogg’s theory of pantheism did away with the
heavenly Sanctuary and the Atonement! I fully believe that if you asked any SDA
minister that same question today, you would get a blank look! And that is why
they made the same mistake in voting in the Omega Heresy, SATAN’S TRINITY
DOCTRINE, in the 1980 world General Conference Session.
How the Trinity
Doctrine is All as Satanic as Kellogg’s Pantheism Theory
Robert J. Wieland and Donald K. Short were
ministers. They are described by God in Isaiah 56:10-12. They never understood
how Kellogg’s Pantheism nor how the Trinity Doctrine does away with the
heavenly Incarnation Sanctuary and Atonement Sacrifice. Nor does any SDA
minister today understand this fact.
The Trinity Doctrine, which Rome brags to be its
CENTRAL DOCTRINE, results in the same removal of the Heavenly Incarnation
Sanctuary and Atonement, as Kellogg’s pantheism theory, but by another route.
The Trinity Doctrine teaches that there were THREE ETERNAL, CO-EQUAL PERSONS TO THE GODHEAD. That is
one of Satan’s most successful deceptions ever spawned upon Christianity. There
were only TWO PERSONS to the Godhead before the Incarnation--the Father and the
Son. They both shared the same ONE ETERNAL HOLY SPIRIT, for God is a Spirit,
says Scripture, and the Bible also says that there is ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT, to
wit:
God is a Spirit
Jhn 4:24 God
[is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
There is ONE Eternal Spirit
Hbr 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal
Spirit offered himself
without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
The
words “THE ETERNAL SPIRIT” mean ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT.
18For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
I
believe Jesus offered Himself through THE ONE eternal spirit.
Exactly How the Trinity
Doctrine Dispenses With the Heavenly Sanctuary
Incarnation Sacrifice Just as Kellogg’s Pantheism Did
The
Trinity Doctrine denies the process by which a THIRD PERSON accrued to the
Godhead. As I said earlier, in the beginning there were only TWO PERSONS to the
Godhead, the Father and the Son. A THIRD PERSON was added to the Godhead when
the Son was Incarnated into humanity and came in the
likeness of sinful flesh as a human being.
“Cumbered
with humanity Christ could not be in every place personally, therefore it was
altogether for their advantage that He should leave them to go to His Father
and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is
Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He
would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit.” E.G.
White, (Manuscript Releases Volume 14 (No’s 1081-1135) MR No.1084.
· The Holy Spirit HIMSELF, the
Holy Spirit of the Son of God, divested His Holy Spirit HIMSELF from the
personality of His humanity, and that human personality was INDEPENDENT
THEREOF--FROM HIS HOLY SPIRIT’S PERSONALITY. Thus, the humanity of Christ added
another person to the Godhead that never existed before HIS INCARNATION.
· The Trinity Doctrine says that
there were THREE CO-EQUAL PERSONS FROM CREATION. If
that were true, then the true process by which a THIRD
PERSON accrued--THE INCARNATION HEAVENLY SANCTUARY ATONEMENT PROCESS, is flat
out denied! The Sanctuary Incarnation and the resulting Atonement are GONE,
just as they were in Kellogg’s pantheism theory.
"Christ declared that after
his ascension, he would send to his church, as his crowning gift, the Comforter, who
was to take his place. This Comforter
is the Holy Spirit,--the soul of his life, the efficacy of his church, the light and life of the
world. With his Spirit Christ sends a reconciling influence and a power that takes away sin.
In the gift of the Spirit, Jesus
gave to man the highest good that heaven could bestow....
The Spirit was given as a
regenerating agency, and without this the sacrifice of Christ would have been
of no avail....
It is by the Spirit that the
heart is made pure. Through the Spirit the
believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature.
Christ has given his Spirit as a divine
power to overcome all hereditary and cultivated tendencies to evil, and to
impress his own character upon the church."
E.G. White, Review and Herald Articles,
May 19, 1904, vol. 5, p. 42.
· The Testator’s Incarnation
sacrifice was entirely requisite before He could give us the gift of His Holy Spirit--the
highest good, crowing gift that heaven can bestow.
· No Atonement for sin was
available from ANY PERSON OF THE GODHEAD BEFORE the Son’s Incarnation, which
resulted in another person to the Godhead. Therefore, the Trinity Doctrine is
FALSE SCIENCE, and there were never THREE PERSONS to the Godhead before the
Incarnation sacrifice.
· The Trinity Doctrine denies
the process--the heavenly Sanctuary Incarnation Atonement, by which a THIRD PERSON
accrued. That is pure heresy. THAT IS THE OMEGA OF ALL HERESIES!
· The THIRD PERSON was adopted
by the Father into the heavenly Kingdom, to wit:
God's Highest Good, Crowning Gift to the Human Race
There is nothing more conveying of the loveliness of
Christ, than a depiction of the FULL SACRIFICE He made for us, other than the
cross alone. Some have missed that important realization, and the depth and
scale upon which I have dwelt upon it.
“For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.
The
heart of God yearns over His earthly children with a love stronger than death. In giving up His Son, He has
poured out to us all heaven in one gift.
Through that gift there comes to us day by day the
unfailing flow of Jehovah's goodness. Every flower, with its delicate tints and
sweet fragrance, is given for our enjoyment through that one Gift. The sun and
moon were made by Him; there is not a star that beautifies the heavens which He
did not make. There is not an article of food upon our tables that He has not
provided for our sustenance. The superscription of Christ is upon it all.
Everything is supplied to man through the one unspeakable Gift, the only-begotten
Son of God. He was nailed to the cross that all these bounties might flow to
God's workmanship.” {FLB 45.3}
“In taking our nature, the
Saviour has bound Himself to humanity by a tie that is never to be broken.
Through the eternal ages He is linked with us. "God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son." He gave Him
not only to bear our sins, and to die as our sacrifice; He gave Him to the
fallen race. To assure us of His immutable counsel of peace, God gave His
only-begotten Son to become one of the human family,
forever to retain His human nature. This is the pledge that God will fulfill
His word. "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder." Isa. 9:6. God has adopted human nature in the person of His Son, and has carried
the same into the highest heaven. . . . Heaven is enshrined in humanity, and
humanity is enfolded in the bosom of Infinite Love.k”
{FLB 45.4}
“Christ
bowed down in unparalleled humility, that in His exaltation to the throne of
God, He might also exalt those who believe in Him, to a seat with Him upon His
throne.”{FLB
45.5}
I
believe in the Covenant of Grace or the Blood Covenant that Provided
Grace--Atonement for any sin against God's law.
Hbr 9:16 For where a
testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hbr 9:17 For a testament
[is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while
the testator liveth.
I
believe that the bible defines Testament in Heb. 9:16 and 9:17, to mean
COVENANT.
I
believe that the testator of the testament (covenant) was God and Jesus.
I
believe that if Jesus is not God, His death was not the death of the testator
and therefore no atonement has been made.
I
believe that since God, Jehovah gave the law via THE ONE SPIRIT, that His Son
also gave it via THE ONE SPIRIT. I believe that only the Testator of the law
could atone for it. I believe that if Jesus was not the Testator via THE ONE
ETERNAL SPIRIT, that no atonement has been made.
I
believe that God could not die so there needed to be more than one manifestation
of Jehovah. I believe there are three manifestations of Jehovah but they all
are the same ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT AND THAT MAKES THEM ONE GOD. I believe that it
is only by the gift of spiritual discernment that we accept this obvious
scenario by faith, not understanding it fully until we learn more of it
throughout eternity.
The Blood of the Covenant
Now
the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great
shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
make you perfect in every good work to do his will. Heb. 13:20, 21.
"Without shedding of blood is no remission" (Heb. 9:22). In every bleeding sacrifice
was typified "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the
world" (John 1:29).
In
whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according
to the riches of his grace. Eph. 1:7.
"Because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance,
broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and
they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth
are burned." Isaiah 24:1, 3, 5, 6.
The
earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have
transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Isa. 24:5.
A
Personal God
“God . . . hath in these last days spoken unto
us by his Son. . . ; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he
had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on
high. Heb. 1:1-3.” {FLB 40.1}
“God is a Spirit; yet He is a personal being; for so He has revealed
Himself.” {FLB 40.2}
“As a personal being, God has revealed Himself in His Son. The outshining of
the Father's glory, "and the express image of his person," Jesus, as a personal Saviour,
came to the world. As a personal Saviour He ascended on high.
As a personal Saviour He intercedes in the heavenly courts.” {FLB 40.3}
“I saw a throne, and on it sat the Father and the Son. I gazed on Jesus'
countenance and admired His lovely person. The Father's person I could not
behold, for a cloud of glorious light covered Him. I asked Jesus if His Father
had a form like Himself. He said He had, but I could not behold it, for said He, "If
you should once behold the glory of His person, you would cease to exist.” {FLB
40.4}
“The theory that
God is an essence pervading all nature is received by many who profess to
believe the Scriptures; but, however beautifully clothed,
this theory is a most dangerous deception. . . . If God is an essence pervading
all nature, then He dwells in all men; and in order to attain holiness, man has
only to develop the power within him. These
theories {pantheism, etc.}, followed to their logical conclusion,
. . . do away with the necessity for the atonement and make man his own
savior. . . . Those who accept them are in great danger of being led finally to
look upon the whole Bible as a fiction. . . .” {FLB 40.5}
“The revelation of Himself that God has given in His Word is for our study.
This we may seek to understand. But beyond this we are not to penetrate. . . .
None are to indulge in speculation regarding His nature. Here silence is eloquence. The Omniscient One is above
discussion.” {FLB 40.6}
· The New Age theory of looking
within is pantheism--that God is already within you.
· Loma Linda University has
taught this New Age theory of looking within, without Adventists discerning
that it is pantheism.
The
NATURE of God refers NOT TO HIS PERSONALITY, but to HIS ESSENCE, HIS SUBSTANCE,
WHICH IS SPIRIT. That is all we know about His NATURE.
Both God and the Son have the SAME NATURE, and that is what makes them ONE GOD:
Ellen
White said Christ and the Father were of one substance: "The Jews had
never before heard such words from human lips, and a convicting influence
attended them for it seemed that divinity flashed through humanity as Jesus
said, "I and my Father are one." The words of Christ were full of deep meaning as he
put forth the claim that he and the Father were of one substance, possessing
the same attributes."--The
Signs of the Times, Nov. 27, 1893, p. 54. {7ABC 437.3}.
That
is all we know about the NATURE of God. But we know much more about His
personality. In fact we know enough about His personality that what we know is
a pillar, landmark doctrine of true Adventism:
Godhead as a pillar doctrine
--
Personality of God and of Christ Landmarks: "Those who seek to remove the
old landmarks are not holding
fast they are not remembering how they have received and heard. Those who try
to bring in theories that would remove the pillars
of our faith concerning the
sanctuary or concerning the personality of God or of Christ, are working as
blind men. They are seeking to bring in uncertainties and to set the
people of God adrift without an anchor." {MR760 9.5}
Ellen
White told Kellogg that he was not clear on the PERSONALITY OF GOD, which is
EVERYTHING TO US AS A PEOPLE. She told him that he had VIRTUALLY DESTROYED the
Lord God Himself!
"You
are not definitely clear on the personality of God, which is everything to us
as a people. You have virtually destroyed the Lord God Himself." EGW letter 300 1903.
How
did Kellogg virtually destroy the Lord God Himself? By destroying the
Incarnation Sanctuary Atonement in the heavenly Sanctuary, that was/is the
highest good, crowning gift that heaven can bestow--the gift of His Holy Spirit
soul of His life. How so? By his teaching that the Holy
Spirit of Christ was already in every living thing from Creation, without the
process of the Incarnation that made that gift possible.
How
does the Trinity Doctrine achieve the same result? By teaching that there were
always three co-equal persons to the Godhead from eternity, WITHOUT the
Heavenly Sanctuary Incarnation Atonement that produced the human person of
Christ--THE THIRD PERSON added to the Godhead.
There
could have been no Comforter before the Atonement for sin. The Holy Spirit of
the Son of God could not be sent as a Comforter AND A
DIVINE POWER TO OVERCOME SIN, before an Atonement was made for sin. So to say
that there were THREE CO-EQUAL POWERS before the Atonement was made by the
Incarnation, is like totally discounting the atonement by which a THIRD
PERSON--THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST COME IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH--ACCRUED.
That is the blasphemy of all blasphemies. That is the antichrist of all
antichrists! That is the omega heresy of all heresies!
"Christ declared that after
his ascension, he would send to his church, as his crowning gift, the Comforter, who
was to take his place. This Comforter
is the Holy Spirit,--the soul of his life, the efficacy of his church, the light and life of the
world. With his Spirit Christ sends a reconciling influence and a power that takes away sin.
In the gift of the Spirit, Jesus
gave to man the highest good that heaven could bestow....
The Spirit was given as a
regenerating agency, and without this the sacrifice of Christ would have been
of no avail....
It is by the Spirit that the
heart is made pure. Through the Spirit the
believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature.
Christ has given his Spirit as a divine
power to overcome all hereditary and cultivated tendencies to evil, and to
impress his own character upon the church."
E.G. White, Review and Herald Articles,
May 19, 1904, vol. 5, p. 42.
“Cumbered
with humanity Christ could not be in every place personally, therefore it was
altogether for their advantage that He should leave them to go to His Father
and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is
Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He
would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit.” E.G.
White, (Manuscript Releases Volume 14 (No’s 1081-1135) MR No.1084.
“These theories, followed to their logical conclusion, sweep away the
whole Christian economy. They do away with the
necessity for the atonement and make man his own savior. These theories
regarding God make His word of no effect, and those who accept them are in
great danger of being led finally to look upon the whole Bible as a fiction.
They may regard virtue as better than vice; but God being removed from His
position of sovereignty, they place their dependence upon human power, which,
without God, is worthless. The unaided human will has no real power to resist
and overcome evil. The defenses of the soul are broken down. Man has no barrier
against sin. When once the restraints of God's word and His Spirit are
rejected, we know not to what depths one may sink.” {8T 291.4}
“Those who continue
to hold these spiritualistic theories will surely spoil their Christian
experience, sever their connection with God, and lose eternal life.” {8T
292.1}
“Already there are coming
in among our people spiritualistic teachings that will undermine the faith of
those who give heed to them. The theory that God is an essence pervading all
nature is one of Satan's most subtle devices. It misrepresents God and is a
dishonor to His greatness and majesty.” {8T 291.1}
“Pantheistic
theories are not sustained by the word of God. The light of His truth shows
that these theories are soul-destroying agencies. Darkness is their element,
sensuality their sphere. They gratify the natural heart and give license to
inclination. Separation from God is the result of accepting them.” {8T
291.2}
“Our condition
through sin has become preternatural, and the power that restores us must be
supernatural, else it has no value. There is but one power that can break the
hold of evil from the hearts of men, and that is the power of God in Jesus
Christ. Only through the blood of the Crucified One is there cleansing from
sin. His grace [Holy Spirit] alone can enable us to resist and subdue the
tendencies of our fallen nature. This power the
spiritualistic theories concerning God make of no effect. If God is an essence pervading all nature, then He dwells in all men;
and in order to attain holiness, man has only to develop the power that is
within him.” {8T 291.3}
“The sophistries
regarding God and nature that are flooding the world with skepticism are the
inspiration of the fallen foe, who is himself a Bible student, who knows the
truth that it is essential for the people to receive, and whose study it is to
divert minds from the great truths given to prepare them for what is coming
upon the world.” {8T 292.2}
“I have seen the
results of these fanciful views of God, in apostasy, spiritualism, and free-lovism. The free love tendency of these teachings was so
concealed that at first it was difficult to make plain its real character.
Until the Lord presented it to me, I knew not what to call it, but I was
instructed to call it unholy spiritual love.” {8T 292.3}
“Man will rise no higher than his
conceptions of truth, purity, and holiness. If the mind is never exalted above
the level of humanity, if it is not uplifted by faith to contemplate infinite
wisdom and love, the man will be constantly sinking lower and lower. The
worshipers of false gods clothed their deities with human attributes and
passions, and thus their standard of character was degraded to the likeness of
sinful humanity.” {CC 32.5}
The Alphabet of Heresies
The heresy of all heresies, the Trinity Doctrine, which removes the
process of the Incarnation by which a THIRD PERSON accrued to the Godhead,
totally sweeping away the whole Christian economy. Does a false belief about the
Godhead that sweeps away the whole Christian economy, embrace the complete
alphabet of heresies? Yes indeed it does. It renders the church as being a
member of the Synagogue of Satan and as being corporately responsible for EVERY
APOSTASY OF THAT SYNAGOGUE. The Lord
showed me in vision this a.m. that this fact is what constitutes the Alphabet
of Heresies. In other words, the SDA church is now corporately responsible for
every heresy known to Satan’s Synagogue. You name it!
· Idolatry
· Every uncouth and Satanic thing.
· Pantheism
· Ecumenical liaison with
Babylon versus coming out and being separate--which in turn is violation of the
three angel’s messages.
· Violation of all of God’s
commandments, because if you violate one, you violate them all in principle.
· Speaking against the Holy
Spirit which is blasphemy against that Spirit, which is unpardonable sin.
· This link shows how the
consortium of secret societies organized the ecumenical movement for the
purpose of infiltrating and corrupting all churches with Satan’s specious
deceptions. http://philologos.org/__eb-jki/tape01.htm
·
Apostasy, wrong principles, brilliant sparkling ideas, theories
and sophistries that undermine the foundation principles of the faith,
perversion of truth, fanciful and spiritualistic interpretations of the
Scriptures, deceivableness of unrighteousness, seeds of discord, of unbelief,
of infidelity … sown broadcast, insidious fallacies, sentiments of the enemy,
falsehood and pleasing fables, infidelity and skepticism, a multitude of
deceptions, a yoke of human manufacture, cunningly devised fables, a lie (these
are verbatim expressions taken from Special
Testimonies, Series B., Nos. 2 and 7, concerning the alpha).
· All of the above is why God
says in Ezekiel Chapter 5, that Jerusalem, His church, His people, are worse
than all the other nations around them. Why? Because they had the gift of
prophecy to guide them into all truth and rejected it to become the Synagogue
of Satan and of their father the devil. These are not idle, carelessly penned
words. They are truth as serious as you will ever hear it from any source,
because the source is the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.
Let it not be said that Omega Countdown Ministries
calls the professing SDA church Babylon! That would be an insult to Babylon,
for the Holy Spirit says that Jerusalem is WORSE than any other denomination
around her--Ezekiel Chapter 5. This chapter is of end-time application because
in verse 5 God does the worst thing He ever does, and that is at the end-time,
cf. Matthew 24:21.
The reason God regards spiritual Jerusalem as being
worse than Babylon, is because Jerusalem has been privileged with advanced
knowledge of truth, and Babylon has not.
·
Worse than Babylon -- "God's professed people are selfish and
self-caring....They are idolaters, and are worse, in the sight of God, than the
heathen, graven-image worshippers who have had no knowledge of a better way."
Testimonies, Vol. 2, 440-442.
Ezekiel, Chapter 5.
·
The apostate church is apostate
"ATHEIST" Jerusalem, Ezekiel 9 and 5T 211. Unbelief is unbelief is
unbelief IS ATHEISM IS EGYPT!
·
"The things you have described as taking
place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just
before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will
be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and
dancing. The senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot
be trusted to make right decisions. And this is called the
moving of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit never reveals itself in such
methods, in such a bedlam of noise. This
is an invention of Satan to cover up his ingenious methods for
making of none effect the pure, sincere, elevating,
ennobling, sanctifying truth for this time. Better never have the
worship of God blended with music than to use musical instruments to do the
work which last January was represented to me would be brought into our
camp meetings. The truth for this time needs nothing of this kind in its
work of converting souls. A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and pervert that
which if conducted aright might be a blessing. The powers of satanic agencies
blend with the din and noise, to have a carnival, and this
is termed the Holy Spirits working." Selected
Messages, Book 2, p. 36.
Whatever the apostasy that Satan’s Synagogue is
guilty of, the SDA church and its membership is now corporately responsible for
it all. That is what the “alphabet of omega heresy” means.
"The plain straight testimony must live in the church, or the curse
of God will rest upon His people as surely as it did upon ancient Israel
because of their sins. God holds His people, as a body [corporately],
responsible for the sins existing in individuals among them." Testimonies,
vol. 3, p. 269.
"The names of those who sin and refuse to repent should not be
retained on the church books, lest the saints be held accountable for their
evil deeds. Those who pursue a course of transgression should be visited
and labored with, and if they then refuse to repent, they should be
separated from church fellowship, in accordance with the rules laid down in the
Word of God." {11MR 208.3}
The members of the church become corporately
responsible with the structure when they learn of the abominations. If they
come out at that time, they are no longer responsible, but if they choose to
remain, they become corporately responsible for unparadonable
sin heresies now taught by the professing SDA church. This is nothing more nor less than the same principle and
reasoning applied to any coming out of any church in the history of
Christianity.

For
those who believe that the bad will finally leave the SDA church to leave it
purged and purified:
It is a lie that the bad leave the good. In the
last literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, A.D. 27-66, the good left the bad. Just
take it from God in Ezekiel 22:17-31, and Isaiah 37:31, 32. The following statement
by Ellen White forces home the truth of what I am saying.
PROLEPSIS
PROPHETIC STATEMENT:
Here is the Spirit of Prophecy prophesied prolepsis statement regarding
the final fate of that once Noble Ship. This is a major LYNCHPIN to my warning
message. Can you explain it away? Are you a passenger on this once NOBLE SHIP,
that is about to sink to rise no more? NOTICE WHO SEPARATES
FROM WHOM:
"Jesus sends HIS PEOPLE a message of warning
to prepare them for his coming. To the prophet John was made known the closing
work in the great plan of man's redemption. He beheld an angel flying 'in the
midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that
dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and
people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him for the hour
of his Judgment is come and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the
sea, and the fountains of waters [Rev. 14:6, 7.].
The angel represented in
prophecy as
delivering this message, symbolizes a class of faithful men, who, obedient to the promptings of
God's Spirit and the teachings of his word, proclaim this warning to the
inhabitants of earth. This message
was not to be committed to the religious leaders of the people. They had
failed to preserve their connection with God, and had REFUSED THE LIGHT FROM
HEAVEN therefore they WERE NOT of the number described by the apostle Paul:
'But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a
thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day we are not of the night nor of darkness' [1 Thess. 5:4, 5].
The watchmen upon the walls of Zion should be the first to catch
the tidings of the Saviour's advent, the first to lift their voices to proclaim
him near, the first to warn the people to prepare for
his coming. But they were at ease, dreaming of peace and safety, while the
people were asleep in their sins. Jesus saw HIS CHURCH, like the barren
fig-tree, covered with pretentious leaves, yet destitute of precious fruit.
There was a boastful observance of the forms of religion, while the spirit of
true humility, penitence and faith--which alone could render the service
acceptable to God--was lacking. Instead of the graces of the Spirit, there were manifested pride, formalism, vainglory, selfishness,
oppression. A BACKSLIDING CHURCH
closed their eyes to the signs of the times. God did nor forsake them, or
suffer his faithfulness to fail but they departed from him, and SEPARATED THEMSELVES from his love. As they REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONS, his promises were
NOT FULFILLED to them." E.G. White, The
Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 4, pp. 199-200 [The 1884 edition of The
Great Controversy, 199, 200].
Note these important delineations in
the above statement:
·
Ellen
White is addressing HIS PEOPLE.
·
Ellen
White is addressing those to whom God committed the EVERLASTING GOSPEL of
Revelation 14.
·
Ellen
White is defining the angel represented in prophecy as symbolizing a class of
faithful men.
·
Ellen
White is saying emphatically that the final Loud Cry message is delivered NOT
BY THE LEADERS OF THE SDA CHURCH, but by a class of faithful men, because
the leaders had failed to preserve their connection with God and had refused
light from heaven!
·
Ellen
White is addressing "watchmen upon the walls of Zion," NOT FALLEN
BABYLON!
·
Twice
Ellen White mentions HIS CHURCH, NOT FALLEN BABYLON.
·
It is the MEMBERS of
said church that SEPARATE FROM GOD, AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO SEPARATE FROM
THEM OR BE CORPORATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR APOSTASY.
·
The above reasons
are why there is another coming out of a faithful remnant FROM APOSTATE
JERUSALEM AS WELL AS FALLEN BABYLON.
·
Isa 37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house
of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
·
Isa 37:32 For out of
Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the
zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
Ellen White is addressing a BACKSLIDING CHURCH
whose leaders and laity alike failed and rejected light from heaven and
who refused to comply with the conditions so that God's promises are not
fulfilled to them. Consider the following commentary on the 1884 Great
Controversy that the above statement is quoted from:
“Consider for a few moments the chapter in the
first edition of Great Controversy, Volume IV, published by Pacific
Press in 1884. In Chapter XXVII, ‘The Snares of Satan,’ you find that about
four pages in the latter part of the chapter were omitted from the later
editions of Great Controversy. These four pages are to be found in
Testimonies to Ministers, pages 472 to 475. The information contained in these
four pages is very valuable to Seventh-day Adventists and was very
appropriately included in the first edition of Great Controversy, Volume IV,
which when it was published was like the other volumes considered to be A
MESSAGE ESPECIALLY TO SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, and to [all] Christian people
sympathizing with them in beliefs and aims.” W. C. White,
Selected Messages, Appendix C, pp. 452, 453.
