My Vision on Walter
Veith & Francois du Plessis on Overcoming Sin
1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jo 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make
him a liar, and his word is not in us.
On
Sabbath, November 3, 2018, I listened to a video by Walter Veith and Francois
du Plessis, on which they were discussing the Spirit of Prophecy and the Bible
on the issue of overcoming sin. They were not exactly mocking the prospect of
overcoming sin, but they were musing and somewhat jesting about the
plausibility of man’s need to overcome sin this side of glorification. Their
message is that it is impossible to overcome all sin this side of
glorification, and they twist Bible and Spirit of Prophecy statements to arrive
at their blasphemous conclusions. I sought the Lord in prayer as to how to
respond to this serious error amongst God’s people. This document is the answer
I received.
I
found this issue most perplexing as I recalled Ellen White’s admonition that we
must take the Bible “just
as it reads, or we will be taken in a snare.” It was fully obvious that
these men were not following the counsel of Ellen White in this regard. So I
prayed that God would give me light regarding the Bible verses these men were
obviously interpreting according to their own view, rather than taking them
“just as the read.”
“Every
child of fallen Adam must, through the transforming grace of Christ, become
obedient to all God’s requirements. Many close their eyes to the plainest
teachings of His Word because the cross stands directly in the way. If they
lift it, they must appear singular in the eyes of the world; and they hesitate
and question and search for some excuse whereby they may shun the cross. Satan is ever ready, and he
presents plausible reasons why it would not be best to obey the Word of God
just as it reads. Thus souls are fatally deceived.” {FW 41.2}
“Whenever the study of the Scriptures
is entered upon without a prayerful, humble, teachable spirit, the plainest and
simplest as well as the most difficult passages will be wrested from their true
meaning. The papal leaders select such
portions of Scripture as best serve their purpose, interpret to suit
themselves, and then present these to the people, while they deny them the
privilege of studying the Bible and understanding its sacred truths for
themselves. The whole
Bible should be given to the people just as it reads. It would be better for
them not to have Bible instruction at all than to have the teaching of the
Scriptures thus grossly misrepresented. {DD 7.4}
·
Notice that when you
watch the video in question, neither man offered a prayer before entering their
discussion. Thus they wrested the plainest simplest passages from their true
meaning.
·
The whole Bible should be given to the people just as it
reads. It would be better for them not to have Bible instruction at all than to
have the teaching of the Scriptures thus grossly misrepresented. {DD 7.4}
Sunday
a.m., Nov. 4, the Lord gave me a vision on the verses and certain Ellen White
statements these men interpreted very differently than they read. I relate in this
vision what God showed to me on this most serious issue which is conditional to
one’s salvation.
Veith
and du Plessis use the following verses, as do many others who wrest the
Scriptures to their own damnation, to try to prove that we can never overcome
sin this side of glorification.
1Jo 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us.
1Jo 1:10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his
word is not in us.
I was shown that the above verses means and/or DO NOT MEAN the following:
1.
They DO NOT mean that we cannot overcome sin until
glorification.
2.
They DO NOT mean that if we overcome sin that the truth is not
in us if we say we have overcome sin by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit who
does the works in and through us.
3.
They DO NOT mean that if we overcome sin that we can regard
ourselves having holy flesh before glorification.
4.
We can never say we have no sin because we all sinned in Adam,
but we all can be redeemed from all sin by Christ and the gift of His Holy
Spirit empowerment. However, we have a part to play by cooperating by way of
prayer, Bible study and dying moment by moment to self, and thus abiding in
Christ, and so living that He can abide in us.
The Meaning of Being Born Again
The concept
held by most of mainstream Christianity as to what constitutes the “born again”
experience, is to confess your sins and then to rely on the blood of Christ’s
Atonement to go on pardoning a continuum of sin, as though His robe is to cover
sins and save “in sin,” rather than “from sin,” which is supported by the same
verses Walter Veith and Francois du
Plessis use to “prove” that we cannot overcome sin this side of glorification.
This is also the old/new gospel now taught by the new movement which formed
“among” within, professing Seventh-day Adventism.
Babylon has taught the errant gospel of cheap grace for centuries. Their
teaching is that God’s grace covers all continued sins, and that this is what
Paul meant when he said that salvation is not of works, but grace, lest any man
should boast. God’s grace is defined by Ellen White as the Holy Spirit.
“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).
Our Dispositions Unchanged
If you would be a saint in
heaven you must first be a saint on earth. The traits of character you cherish
in life will not be changed by death or by the resurrection. You will come up
from the grave with the same disposition you manifested in your home and in
society. Jesus does not change the character at His coming. The
work of transformation must be done now. Our daily lives are determining our
destiny. Defects of character must be repented of and overcome through
the grace of Christ, and a symmetrical character must be formed while
in this probationary state, that we may be fitted for the mansions above.--13MR
82 (1891). {LDE 295.1}
The Glory that the Father gave to Christ is given to us: “Jesus is waiting to breathe upon all his disciples, and
give them the inspiration of his sanctifying spirit, and transfuse the vital
influence from himself to his people . . . Christ
is to live in his human agents, and work through their faculties, and act
through their capabilities. Their will must be submitted to His will, they must act with His Spirit, that it
may be no more they that live, but Christ
that liveth in them. Jesus is seeking to impress upon them the thought that
in giving His Holy Spirit He is giving to
them the glory which the Father has given Him, that He and His people may be one in God.” Signs of the Times, October 3, 1892,
par. 4.
“The Holy Spirit is the breath of life in the soul. The
impartation of the Spirit is the impartation of the life of Christ. It imbues
the receiver with the attributes of Christ.” Desire of Ages, p. 805.
“The work of the holy Spirit is immeasurably great. It is
from this source that power and efficiency come to the worker for God; and the holy
Spirit is the comforter, as the personal presence of Christ to the soul.
He
who looks to Christ in simple, childlike faith, is made a partaker of the
divine nature through the agency of the holy Spirit. When led by the Spirit of
God, the Christian may know that he is made complete in him who is the head of
all things. As Christ was glorified on the day of Pentecost, so will he again
be glorified in the closing work of the gospel, when he shall prepare a people
to stand the final test, in the closing conflict of the great controversy. The
prophet describes the enemy’s plan of battle saying:” {RH November 29, 1892,
par. 3}
“They have one God
and one Saviour; and one Spirit—the Spirit of Christ—is to bring unity into
their ranks.” Testimonies, Vol. 9, p.
189.
Our Security: “Christ has made
every provision for us to be strong. He has given us His Holy Spirit, whose office is to bring to our remembrance all
the promises that Christ has made, that we may have peace and a sweet sense of
forgiveness. If we will but keep our eyes fixed on the Saviour and trust in His
power, we shall be filled with a sense
of security; for the righteousness of Christ will become our righteousness.”
My Life Today, p. 45.
What is Cheap Grace?
Cheap grace is
the belief in PARDON ONLY, that grace covers a continuum of wilful sinning,
while the Bible and Ellen White define grace as POWER, AS WELL, for obedience.
1Jo 1:9
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
This IS NOT an
invitation to go on sinning and confessing sin. That is presuming upon the
grace of Christ. I was shown that presumption occurs when one wilfully, knowingly
sins, while presuming upon the pardoning grace of Christ. I was also shown that
this type of sinning leads one down the path toward unpardonable sin.
I asked my angel why Seventh-day Adventists
are teaching the false gospel of Babylon regarding cheap grace. I was
instructed that this was due to imbibing strictly forbidden ASSOCIATION,
COUNCIL/COUNSEL/ GIRDING AND CONSPIRACY/CONFEDERATING with Babylonians, and
reading and publishing their antichrist materials, and by our leaders going to
Babylonian institutions for education. They then return to Adventist
institutions and teach the errors they have gleaned from Babylon. This is
another way in which the church rejects the teachings of its prophetess Ellen
White, who steadfastly warned against such practices.
SDA ministers have also been sent to
Babylonian pastors for instruction on growing mega churches. And the formula?
The formula is to give the people what they want; ignore doctrine which can
divide, and provide entertainment. This is not how Jesus instructed His
disciples in organizing home churches, some of which are included in Revelation
Chapters 2 and 3.
It should be clear that the formula for
growing mega, popular churches, is provided by Satan, and not Jesus Christ.
Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and
apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
1Co 1:30 But of
him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Th 4:3 For
this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from
fornication:
1Th 4:4 That
every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and
honour;
2Th 2:13 But we
are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord,
because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
1Pe 1:2 Elect
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the
Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto
you, and peace, be multiplied.
1Jo 1:5
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto
you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1Jo 1:6
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we
lie, and do not the truth:
1Jo 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship
one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all
sin.
1Jo 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us.
1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jo 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make
him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
The
Holy Flesh, Nudity Movement
We are never to believe that after we are born
again that we have “holy flesh,” as did/do some fanatics who formed what is
called the holy flesh movement.
“Men and women,
supposed to be guided by the Holy Spirit, held meetings in a state of nudity. They talked about holy
flesh. They said
they were beyond the power of temptation, and they sang, and shouted,
and made all manner of noisy demonstrations. These men and women were not bad,
but they were deceived and deluded.... Satan was moulding the work, and
sensuality was the result. The cause of God was dishonored. Truth, sacred
truth, was leveled in the dust by human agencies. {NL 51.3}
The authorities of the land interfered, and
several of the ring leaders were incarcerated within prison walls. By those who
were confined in prison this interference was termed persecution for the
truth’s sake, and thus truth was clothed with garments spotted with the
flesh.... I presented the reproof of the Lord regarding this kind of work,
showing that its influence was making the truth objectionable and disgusting to
the community.... {NL 52.1}
I bore my testimony, declaring that these fanatical movements, this
din and noise, were inspired by the spirit of Satan, who was working
miracles to deceive if possible the very elect. [Letter 132, 1900 (Portions
in Selected Messages 2:36, 37.)] {NL 52.2}
Is it Possible to Overcome All
Known Sin This Side of Glorification
The leaders of new movement Adventism teach that it is IMPOSSIBLE
to overcome all known sin this side of glorification. In so doing, they
directly contradict God and the Spirit of Prophecy. They reject the greatest
sacrifice of the Son of God, the highest good, crowning gift that heaven can
bestow, the gift of the Son’s Holy Spirit as empowerment for overcoming any
temptation to sin.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Phl 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be
perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall
reveal even this unto you.
Jas 1:4 But let patience have her perfect
work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
When we are born again with the Divine Nature, how are we at any
disadvantage? God says that He will permit no temptation that we will not be
able to resist!
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you
but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that
ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it.
That (above) is directly the opposite to what Walter Veith and
other leaders of the new movement are teaching. It is thus that they present a
weak, impotent Holy Spirit, versus a giant, potent, all-powerful devil whose
temptations are impossible to overcome this side of glorification. This
teaching by Walter Veith and any other dumb-dob (Isa 56:10-12) leader, should
put you on high alert, because this teaching will be followed by other serious
errors, like Veith’s teaching that you should glue yourself to a pew at the new
movement that has removed God, no matter what that new movement does. That is
an invitation by Satan to the next literal Ezekiel 9 slaughter of men, maidens
and little children. Is that serious to you? Is that a spiritual crime? Is that
a religious crisis?
“If God abhors one sin above
another, of which His people are guilty, it is doing nothing in case of an
emergency. Indifference
and neutrality in a religious crisis is regarded of God as a grievous crime and
equal to the very worst type of hostility against God.” —Testimonies, vol. 3, page 281.
Are you willing to be guilty of
indifference and neutrality in this religious crisis that is regarded by God as
a grievous crime and equal to the very worst type of HOSTILITY AGAINST GOD? Do
you just quickly peruse such statements by the Holy Sprit to the church and let
them go in one eye and out the other with total indifference? Do you think we
can be guilty of THE WORST HOSTILITY AGAINST GOD, and be saved? That would be
the worst sin of presumption!
Corporate responsibility: “For
more than a thousand years the Jewish nation had abused God’s mercy and invited
His judgments. They had rejected His warnings and mercy and invited His
judgments. They had rejected His warnings and slain His prophets. For these
sins the people of Christ’s day made themselves responsible by following the
same course. In the rejection of their present mercies and warnings lay the
guilt of that generation. The fetters which the nation had for centuries been
forging, the people of Christ’s day were fastening upon themselves.” Desire of Ages, 586-7.
"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.
Luk 8:13 They on the rock are they, which,
when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a
while believe, and in time
of temptation fall away.
In lieu of falling away in the time of
temptation, we can JUST SAY NO! because the Holy Spirit has provided the most
potent power in the universe to do just that! Think of how non-Christians
overcome dreadful addiction to smoking and drinking for example. If they can do
that on sheer willpower, what can we do with the power of the Holy Spirit to
aid us!

How to be Born Again and Arrayed in
Christ’s Righteousness
Our
duty is to behold Christ by prayer, study of His Word, and witnessing to others
of His powerful grace given for obedience as well as pardon. We are to die to
self on a moment by moment basis. That is what Christ did. A dead
man/woman/youth cannot commit sin! There is no temptation that can tempt a DEAD
PERSON. We are to die to the old man and live anew in Jesus’ divine nature that
will abide in us and we in Him.
“The
remnant that purify their souls by obeying the truth gather strength from the
trying process, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding
apostasy. All these, He says, “I have graven upon the palms of My hands”
(Isaiah 49:16). They are held in everlasting, imperishable remembrance. We want
faith now, living faith. We want to have a living testimony that shall cut to
the heart of the sinner. There
is too much sermonizing and too little ministering. We want the holy
unction. We need the spirit and fervor of the truth. Many of the ministers are half paralyzed by their
own defects of character. They need the converting power of God.” {2SM
380.3}
“That
which God required of Adam before his fall was perfect obedience to His law.
God requires now what He required of Adam, perfect obedience, righteousness
without a flaw, without shortcoming in His sight. God help us to render to Him
all His law requires. We cannot do this without that faith that brings Christ’s
righteousness into daily practice.” {2SM 380.4}
Mat
5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is

thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

wanting nothing.
Jhn
3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a

Jhn
3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
1Pe
1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1Jo
3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
2Pe

that is in the world through lust.

2Pe
2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of
corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in
bondage.
2Pe
2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the
knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled
therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
1Jo
2:13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the
beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked
one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
1Jo
5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory
that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1Jo
5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is
the Son of God?
1Jo 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him,
and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Were God and His Son Sadists When They Gave the Ten-Commandment
Law on Mt. Sinai?—Conditions to Salvation
Many Adventists are not aware that
both Christ and the Father proclaimed the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai. The
reason they were both there is because they are of the same one eternal essence
and substance, the ONE eternal Spirit. That is why they both come to us as the
Holy Spirit, John 14:23.
Questions and Statements:
· Did God give a law that it is impossible to keep, as Satan charges?
· Did God say that the law is perfect, converting the soul?
· Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
· Is that why David loved the law of God? It is perfect. It is God’s Hedge
of Protection. It is God’s way of providing for man’s best welfare, without
which it is a chaotic free for all. This empirical fact should lead us all to
love the law of God.
· Do you see how men as intelligent as Walter Veith can go totally astray
and cause many to be slaughtered in the next literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9?
· How dreadfully foolish virgin and hypocrical it
is to refer to yourself as GOD’S COMMANDMENT-KEEPING PEOPLE, and then teach
that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THEM!
"When
they came to Sinai, He took occasion to refresh their minds in regard to His
requirements. Christ and the Father, standing side by side upon the mount, with
solemn majesty proclaimed the Ten Commandments..." E.G. White, Evangelism,
p. 616.
Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto
him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make
our abode with him.
The entire Great Controversy between
Christ and Satan is over Satan’s challenge that God’s law is impossible to
keep, and that angels did not need that law. SDA new movement leaders are
teaching that lie of Satan to the church today. So, the question remains: Were
Christ and the Father sadists when they commanded the Hebrews at Mt. Sinai to
keep the commandments?
Was Jesus a sadist when He instructed
Mary Magdalene to go and sin no more? Was He merely telling her to do the
impossible?
Jesus came in the likeness of sinful
man to be an example to man that it is possible to keep the commandments which
were designed to protect and provide for the utopian best welfare of mankind.
He came to give us His Divine Nature Holy Spirit POWER for the purpose of
overcoming the lusts of this world.
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us
exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of
the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through
lust.
The Power of Choice
God gave man the power to choose
whether or not to obey His commandments. He does not force them on anyone. Some
think that God does FORCE them when disobedience results in undesirable
consequences. The truth of the matter is that God’s law being designed for the
utopian welfare of man, cannot be both—protective of man’s best welfare, and
permitting of sin against those laws.
COUNTERPART:
"The Lord commanded one of his ancient servants, 'Pray not thou for this
people [Jer. 7:16 and 11:9-15], neither lift up cry nor prayer for them neither
make intercession to me for I will not hear thee.' The prophet thus describes
the sins which had called forth this fearful denunciation: 'The prophets
prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means and my people love
to have it so and what will ye do in the end thereof?' 'From the least of them
even unto the greatest of them, every one is given to covetousness and from the
prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also
the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace, when
there is no peace.' The apostles declare that this state of things will find
its COUNTERPART in the last days. Many have a form of godliness, but in their
daily life deny the power thereof. They have ceased to be convicted of their
sins or alarmed at their state. They say in their hearts, 'The church is
flourishing. Peace and spiritual prosperity are within her borders.' The words
of the prophet may well apply to these self-deceivers, 'They have chosen their
own ways, and their soul
delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions,
and will bring their fears upon them." E. G. White, Second Advent
Review and Sabbath Herald, 11-07-82.
Why
do leaders like Walter Veith teach that it is impossible to obey God’s law this
side of glorification? Because they and the people they serve DELIGHT IN THEIR
ABOMINATIONS RATHER THAN SIGH AND CRY ABOUT THEM. They love the false peace and
safety prophesying’s of the leaders.

The
Serious Implications of Teaching that We Cannot Keep the Commandments
The
Doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which God especially hates, did away with the law.
·
If man cannot keep
the law, Satan won the Great Controversy between him and Christ. All that
merely believe should be saved.
·
If man cannot keep
the law, it is a charade to pretend to keep the Sabbath commandment, for this
would be just as impossible as it would be to keep any other nine commandments.
·
It is hypocritical
to claim to be God’s commandment-KEEPING people out of one side of the mouth,
while teaching that it is IMPOSSIBLE to keep them out of the other side of
their forked-tonged mouth.
I was
shown that the worst abominations taught by new movement Adventism today are
the Trinity Doctrine which denies the Atonement of Christ coming in the
likeness of sinful flesh, by its teaching that there are three co-ETERNAL
persons to the Godhead. The humanity of the Son of God was NO PART of the
Godhead until His Incarnation Atonement act.
The
second worst abomination is Satan’s lie, which is akin to the first, is that it
is impossible to keep the commandments of God this side of glorification, when
the highest good, crowning sacrificial act of heaven provided the gift of the
DIVINE NATURE as empowerment for overcoming sin NOW.
Walter
Veith is responsible for teaching both those abominations. Unknown thousands
will die in the next literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 because of Veith’s admonition to SUPER GLUE yourself to a pew at the
new movement that has removed God (1SM 204, 205).
The
videos I refer to: The first, below, is the one on the Spirit of Prophecy and
overcoming sin. The next is on the United Nations, and is very good and
important, as is the third video which is on spiritual formation.
I am
being totally fair to Walter Veith. I don’t tell folk not to listen to his
videos. I merely warn of his insidious errors that will lead thousands to
slaughter and loss of eternal life. Any who support those who are in such
serious apostasy, are corporately responsible for the apostasy.
The
first video is on the Spirit of Prophecy. The latter part is on overcoming.

The
two last videos are excellent and should be watched as well. The one below is
on the UN and gives a good synopsis of everything that is transpiring in the
world that every Christian should know.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EnsCaeiVOE&t=34s
The
following video is on the Jesuits and the Counter Reformation. It exposes
Spiritual Formation as deriving from the Jesuits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAJotSFHow8
On the
above (third) video, Veith speaks of how satanic Spiritual Formation is,
deriving from Ignatius of Loyola, but DOES NOT even mention that at the time he
made the video, Spiritual Formation was flooding into the SDA new movement and
is still doing so! He never warned about the hypnosis involved with Neuro
Linguistic Programming (NLP), which SDA ministers were being sent to learn.
Ellen White warned that SDA ministers would use hypnosis.
Ellen White
warned that SDA Ministers will employ Hypnosis— "The time has come
where even in the church
and in our institutions, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. But God will keep that which is
committed to Him. Let us draw near to Him, that He may draw near to us. Let us
bear a plain, clear testimony right to the point, that HYPNOTISM is being used by those who have departed
from the faith and that we are not to link up with them. Through those
who depart from the faith, the power of the enemy will be exercised to lead
others astray." E.G. White, Selected Messages, Bk. 3, pp. 411, 412.
·
Departing from the faith IS
NOT necessarily departing from the new movement. It is crucial to remember this
fact.
· We are not to link up with
-JOIN, those who are giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils,
and that is what SDA ministers are doing by learning NLP and Jesuit Spiritual
Formation based on the exercises by Ignatius of Loyola, and Satanic mysticism.
· When Walter Veith and other
SDA leaders instruct you to go to their new movement no matter what it does,
they are inviting you to a hypnotic séance because they have departed from the
faith once delivered to the saints.
What is Veith’s response: Glue yourself to a pew at
the new movement and be hypnotized during the sermon on Sabbath. An SDA
minister is on record for saying: “What better time to hypnotize than during
the sermon on Sabbath morning when you have a CAPTIVE audience!” That is why many SDA’s will not
respond to the shaking message of True Reformers, because they are brainwashed
by hypnosis.
What Walter Veith is teaching on overcoming well
applies to the great multitude, as I will explain in Part 2 of this vision, but
God says that the 144,000 are without fault. God says there is a way of knowing
whether we love Him or not.
1Jo 5:2 By
this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his
commandments.
1Jo 5:3 For
this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments
are not grievous.
QUESTION:
If we don’t keep His commandments, how else can we
KNOW we love God and the brethren. There is no other test. It does not say: By
this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and strive to
keep His commandments. That is what Walter Veith is saying, and by that:
STRIVING to keep His commandments vs. KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS BY THE
EMPOWERMENT OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT, WE KNOW THAT WE LOVE HIM. The bride of Christ
will aspire to the latter formula.
If you are NOT KEEPING the commandments, there is
no way to KNOW that you love God and the brethren. Conversely, we must be able
to KNOW that we are KEEPING the commandments or not, lest God err in telling us
that the only test by which we can KNOW that we love Him, is by KEEPING the
commandments.

Addendum:
Let
Walter Veith, Francois du Plessis, and every persons
who teaches that keeping the commandments of God is not a CONDITION to
salvation, respond to all the evidence in this document in a manner that
explains it all away.
Below,
I have listed all the Bible’s instruction on commandment-KEEPING this side of
glorification:
QUESTIONS:
·
If keeping God’s
commandments is not possible, as Satan and his agents attest, why did God give
all these commands concerning His commandments and proffer blessings to His
chosen people CONDITIONAL to keeping said commandments.
·
All God’s promises
are CONDITIONAL to obedience to all of His commandments.
·
Why would God make
commandment-KEEPING a TEST of those who are teaching TRUTH (Isaiah 8:20), if it
is impossible to keep them?
·
Why would God make
commandment-KEEPING A SIGN OF His TRUE CHURCH, if it is impossible to keep
them?
·
Why would God say
the 144,000 are WITHOUT FAULT (Rev. 14:1-4), if it is impossible to keep them?
·
Would God give all
the following instruction to His people on keeping His commandments if it was
impossible to keep them with the aid of the Holy Spirit’s empowerment?
·
If we cannot keep
God’s commandments this side of glorification, why did God give us all of the following instruction and make all His promises
contingent upon obedience to all His commandments BEFORE glorification?
