[Adventist-fm] Re: Fw: [AdventistHotIssues] Fact,

Sorry Forum for the way I rephrased the
quote from AA. Overwhelming evidence is what should prompt us to
heed Ron's separation message from God. Though we may be accused that it is
prompted by fanaticism.
In
Love,
Brian

Brother Ron,
Without a doubt, the evidence is
overwhelming in support of separating from the apostacy!!
This is not "your" separating message, but you have willingly
accepted the duty from God to proclaim it, and are giving the message with zeal
and a certain sound that no one can refute. I stand completely behind the
separation message you have put forth and will support it in every way I can to
help warn those still in the SDA corporate church who are unaware as yet, of
the proper response!!
From the bottom of my heart,
Lynn

Ron responds: Here is the Acts of
Apostles statement in the context of Paul's change of faith that had not been
prompted by impulse or fanaticism but by overwhelming evidence, after which I
pose a few questions:
"As Paul preached Christ in
Damascus, all who heard him were amazed and said, "Is not this he that
destroyed
125
them which called on this name in
Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto
the chief priests?" Paul declared that his change of faith had not been
prompted by impulse or fanaticism, but had been brought about by overwhelming
evidence. In his presentation of the gospel he sought to make plain the
prophecies relating to the first advent of Christ. He showed conclusively that
these prophecies had been literally fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. The
foundation of his faith was the sure word of prophecy. {AA 124.3}
As Paul continued to appeal to his
astonished hearers to "repent and turn to God, and do works meet for
repentance" (Acts 26:20), he "increased the more in strength, and
confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very
Christ." But many hardened their hearts, refusing to respond to his
message, and soon their astonishment at his conversion was changed into intense
hatred like that which they had shown toward Jesus. {AA 125.1}
The opposition grew so fierce that Paul
was not allowed to continue his labors at Damascus. A
messenger from heaven bade him leave for a time, and he "went into
Arabia" (Galatians 1:17), where he found a safe retreat. {AA 125.2}
Here, in the solitude of the desert,
Paul had ample opportunity for quiet study and meditation. He calmly reviewed
his past experience and made sure work of repentance. He sought God with all
his heart, resting not until he knew for a certainty that his repentance was
accepted and his sin pardoned. He longed for the assurance that Jesus would be
with him in his coming ministry. He emptied his soul of
126
the prejudices and traditions that had
hitherto shaped his life, and received instruction from the Source of truth.
Jesus communed with him and established him in the faith, bestowing upon him a
rich measure of wisdom and grace." {AA 125.3}
Questions for prayer and meditation:
a.. First of all, is Ron's warning
message merely Ron's message?
b.. Is Ron's warning message based on
overwhelming evidence of what occurred in the last "literal fulfillment of
Ezekiel 9?"
c.. Are the calls of Matthew 22:1-10
part of the evidence?
d.. Is Matthew 22:7 the literal
fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 in A.D. 70?
e.. Are the abominations for which we
are to sigh and cry based on truth or are they based on mere impulse and/or
fanaticism?
f.. If my warning message is not the
shaking message, what is? Is the message based on the type/antitype fulfillment
of Ezekiel 9?
g.. Does corporate responsibility accrue
for all the abominations when they are known? Is corporate responsibility a
principle of Scripture and clearly stated by Ellen White, part of the
overwhelming evidence or is it based on impulse and/or fanaticism?
h.. In the typical fulfillment of
Ezekiel 9, were true Christians gathered out into home churches?
i.. Is the
omega of apostasy new movement's fulfillment based on provable fact or impulse
and/or fanaticism?
j.. Have true reformers of every
succeeding age separated from the church of their fathers for ONE REASON--being
that the ecclesiastical leaders would not tolerate the light of truth?
k.. Will the omega of apostasy SDA
leaders tolerate light concerning forbidden ecumenical involvement and the evil
of the trinity doctrine?
l.. Will such leaders tolerate light on
the proper former rendition of the human nature of Christ that appeared in
Bible Readings for the Home prior to 1949, when the last GC President said that
he would not permit the issue to be discussed on his watch and asked what SDA
in any third world country would care about that issue which Ellen White said
means everything to us.
m.. The human nature of Christ means
everything to us because by the correct teaching on that issue we believe that
Jesus was our example in overcoming. By the improper rendition of that issue,
we could not possibly overcome and Jesus would have to go on pardoning sin and
the sanctuary could never be cleansed of sin.
n.. Is the Celebration Movement which
copies Babylon's methods of worship, based on truth or is it based on impulse
and/or fanaticism? That movement derives from Vatican II and Pentecostalism. Are
we to embrace it and/or support those who do?
o.. Is the Celebration Movement the
precise fulfillment of Ellen White's statement about what would be brought into
our campmeetings JUST BEFORE THE CLOSE OF PROBATION?
p.. Has the new movement fulfilled
Jeremiah 11:9-15 by the above violations? Do these violations constitute
idolatry?
q.. Is ecumenical liaison with Babylon
AFTER KNOWING THE TRUTH, violation of the second angel's message and the
Midnight Cry? Does Ellen White say all who KNOWINGLY violate these messages
will find it impossible to get back on the pathway to heaven? Is her statement
about this in Word to the Little Flock, p. 14, based on Isaiah 8:9-12, or is it
based on impulse and/or fanaticism?
r.. Ellen White said that the personality
of God and Christ are pillar doctrines. She said the omega of apostasy would
involve those pillars. The Trinity Doctrine certainly alters the personality of
Christ and the "highest good, crowning sacrifice heaven can bestow"
by obfuscating the sacrifice of the Son of God at His Incarnation, by teaching
the lie that the Holy Spirit, the soul of His life, always existed as a third
person. This sweeps away the Sanctuary and the Atonement and the entire
Christian economy? What could be worse than this? Telling the people to keep
Sunday? I don't think so! Why? Because we are talking about the "highest
good and crowning gift heaven can bestow" on mankind.
s.. Is the omega of apostasy new
movement the commandment-keeping people of God when SDA leaders have (since the
1980's) instructed Russian parents to send their
children to school on Sabbath? Is this obedience to God or Caesar? Is this all
as bad as telling the members to keep Sunday? If not, why not--as far as
principle is concerned?
t.. Are these very serious life and
death issues, based on Bible principles, mere fanaticism and impulse, or are
they based on facts that constitute the abominations for which we are to sigh
and cry, and for which sighing and crying, our very sealing is conditional?
u.. Are the above issues some of the
most serious reasons why Ezekiel 9 will be literally fulfilled again BEGINNING
AT HIS SANCTUARY, and not wayward individuals here and there?
v.. Ellen White tells us that we do not
know the worst abominations that offend God.
w.. If these issues are not valid
shaking issues and are only based on impulse and fanaticism, what are the
abominations for which we are to sigh and cry?
x.. Paul left the apostate system
because he feared his followers would be wrongfully influenced by the corrupt
Jewish Temple church. Was that separation by Paul, Christ, His disciples and
their followers based on mere impulse and fanaticism or was that history penned
for our ensample?
What more valid evidence would you be
looking for Brother Brian or anyone else? If you or anyone else won't be
convinced by this evidence, what would convince you? I pray that you will not
be found waiting for more convincing evidence, because it will never come. Can
James give you more valid evidence? Is all this evidence based on mere impulse
and fanaticism? You and you alone can decide as far as your personal case is
concerned.
"The abominations for which the
faithful ones were sighing and crying were all that could be discerned by
finite eyes, but by far the worst sins, those which provoked the jealousy of
the pure and holy God, were unrevealed. The great Searcher of hearts knoweth
every sin committed in secret by the workers of iniquity. These persons come to
feel secure in their deceptions and, because of His long-suffering, say that
the Lord seeth not, and then act as though He had forsaken the earth. But He
will detect their hypocrisy and will open before others those sins which they
were so careful to hide." {5T 211.3}
I have responded to your question and I
would appreciate your response. I would appreciate a response from every member
of this forum, for if I am wrong, and any of you remain silent, my blood will
be on your backs.
In Jesus' love,
Ron

Subject: [AdventistHotIssues] Re: Recent
trip to the Gulf of Mexico
Thank you Brother James for the
clarification. I wonder whether the information about the fake capping of the
well is true. It states that the well that was capped was one that was leaking
earlier and not the more recent leak. Also it is apparent to me that, by the
ongoing use of the dispersant- corexit[or whatever it
is they are using], the oil does not appear on the top of the water but mixes
with the dispersant and sinks underwater. Wouldn't this make less of the oil
accumulate on the beaches? Reminds me of the church harlot, how they cover up
the defilement underneath!
I also want understand how to execute a
proper response to Ron's call out message. So that it would not be
"prompted by impulse or fanaticism," that has been "brought
about by overwhelming evidence" (AA 124.3).
Blessings,
Brian

Forum,
Apparently there has been some
misunderstanding/confusion regarding the posting on My Recent trip to the Gulf
of Mexico. -- Hence, the purpose of this current document.
First and Foremost:
On Sunday July 18, 2010, I went to the Gulf of
Mexico, and returned home on Wednesday July 21, 2010. Therefore everything in
this current document is relevant to the time-frame perspective BEFORE Tropical
Storm Bonnie, which Storm is expected to enter the "Oil Area" on this
very day of July 24.
I
would encourage [interested] folk to carefully Read or Re-Read my Original
Message.
I
realize that there is "more" (quantity) that I could/should have
written. For this, I apologise. There's no doubt in my mind that this has
contributed to certain misunderstandings; as it is obvious that some folk have
[inadvertently?] "read into" certain portions.
Fact of the matter is, I had intentionally
"left out" some items, in hopes of the simplicity of my report
speaking volumes.
For example, I [intentionally] never mentioned
Texas or Louisiana. Why? Simple: The last time I was in Texas and/or Louisiana
was in 1999. -- Thus, "Greetings all. On Sunday July 18, I went to the
Gulf of Mexico, and returned home on Wednesday July 21. While actually at the
Gulf, I primarily spent my time in the Mobile Alabama area, specifically in
Daphne/Fairhope, and also Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and
Pensacola Florida."
Note: I realize that the majority of the folk
on this Forum are not familiar with these geographical areas. So for the sake
of clarity: Mobile, Daphne, Fairhope, Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores, and Orange
Beach - are all Cities/Towns/Beaches in Alabama -- and of course Pensacola
Florida is in Florida. --- I actually realized just moments after
"sending" my Original Message that I had failed to be so precise in
my description. Again, my apologies.
However, while I was at the Gulf this past
week I did in fact speak with at least 3 people on the clean-up crew who are
from Louisiana. -- (Google: the letter "p", and the number
"2", and the letter "p", dot com) -- And they each offered
additional confirmation that currently Louisiana has thus far been the
"hardest hit" state by this Oil Situation. And we did talk about
Louisiana for a bit, including the Katrina Response, etc. (More about that
later).
... But again, the last time I personally was
in Louisiana or Texas was in 1999. -- And thus, my reporting was focused solely
on my recent trip to the Alabama (and Pensacola Fl) Coast and the things I
personally encountered during that same trip. --- not the Mississippi Coast,
nor the Texas Coast, nor the Louisiana Coast, nor the Florida Coast (except for
Pensacola - which is in the extreme NW corner of Florida). For I did not go to
these other places during this July 18, 2010 through July 21, 2010 time period.
Therefore, I can neither confirm or refute
certain things. I can only address the things I personally encountered during
that recent trip, and the things I was told by those whom I believe to be
"credible". -- As opposed to: hearsay gossip from so-and-so.
Also:
James
(me) did NOT state,claim, or intentionally imply any
notion of: "This whole Oil Leak Situation being a hoax". --- I would
encourage the reader to read the first three responses to My Original Message
for a precise understanding of whence such notion germinated.
The fact of the matter is:
This whole BP-Oil in the Gulf of Mexico Thing
is a VERY SERIOUS MATTER which is as REAL as a train wreck! -- and it is almost
literally in my back yard!
Unfortunately, there are MANY folk (generally
speaking) who have utilized the Internet to spread certain false and/or
misleading "information" to the masses. And while I certainly do have
my own hypothesis/theories regarding the Actual Truth about some of that
"information", in specific, about what the general public is NOT
being told by the Govt and their propaganda media whores; nonetheless, I also
have my own hypothesis/theories regarding who/where some of that
"misinformation/disinformation/distortion/manipulation" actually
originated -- the so-called "powers that be".
Think about this:
It is a FACT that the so-called "powers
that be" want the Internet to be something that it currently is not. More
precisely, they do not want you and I to have (much less: continue to have) the
"freedom" that we currently have. Furthermore, there are current
Bills in Congress (respectively) that are directly aimed toward eliminating
those aforementioned "Internet Freedoms". --- Do you not think that
the Govt will take advantage of the False Reports on this "Oil
Thing", and use it as support for the so-called "need" to pass
these Laws? They would certainly have a legitimate excuse for doing so!! -----
And it is from this very type of thinking that I thought it worthy to share
with the Forum Family the things I personally encountered, so you and I will be
better informed about these current events, and, when the time comes, you and I
will not be guilty of contributing towards helping the Beast to bring about the
Twin Battering Rams of oppression and
segregation.
Again, ... And while I certainly do not want
"to suppress the truth, and to cry, Peace, when God has not spoken
peace" (GW 150.1). I do however, strive to
ensure that like my faith, my understanding and my witnessing is not
"prompted by impulse or fanaticism, but had been brought about by
overwhelming evidence" (AA 124.3).
Please, Notice the two EGW/SOP
references. I included them for a reason.
Moving on ...
At this point, I would like to say that I
fully appreciate your support concerning my integrity in this matter. I can
assure you friends, I am only interested in, and motivated by, the Truth - as
it is currently available. I believe I have a personal interest in helping to
ensure that YOU are at least "properly informed" to the Truth - as it
is currently available. -- Why? Because You and I are SUPPOSE TO BE the
"cream of the crop", the REAL "watchmen on the wall", the
"Remnant". -- And God Will hold each and every one of us accountable
for, [amongst other things], Our Witnessing. --- So let it not be said that You
and I are guilty of participating in the spreading false information to the
"ignorant sheeple" whom we claim to care about.
Now I realize that some of this may seem a bit
"strong". It is not my intention to be mean-spirited or cause
discord. The fact is, we all, including me, need to hear such things from time
to time, lest the time comes when we knew not the time of our visitation.
In closing,
Again, ... There is more ... ... but for the
time being, I will refrain from such, in an effort to keep from
"overcrowding" (ie: too much diversity at
one time) an already "crowded room".
Interestingly, one of the gentlemen I spoke
with in Daphne Alabama said to me: "I can understand your questions.
After-all there are a lot of people out there who are scared, worried, and just
want peace of mind". Although I can (and did) certainly understand and
appreciate what he was saying, nonetheless, I responded with:
... And can you blame them? As for me, I fully
admit a certain amount of fear and concern. But I am only interested in knowing
the actual truth of these things - whatever that truth may be. Because having
the truth is the ONLY way to have a true peace of mind. And then, I can make a
Proper Response, and provide others with Legitimate Counsel, so that they can
make a proper response.
In Christian Love,
James
... now, I just hope that the Tropical Storm
Bonnie doesn't blow all that oil and other poison in my area!
PS - I've seen several (not a "lot",
but definitely a "few") aircraft flying into the so-called "no
Fly Zone". Needless to say: "something ain't
right with that picture".

Subject: [AdventistHotIssues] Recent trip to
the Gulf of Mexico
To: AdventistHotIssues@yahoogroups.com
Date: Wednesday, July 21, 2010, 10:10 PM
Greetings all.
On Sunday July 18, I went to the Gulf of
Mexico, and returned home on Wednesday July 21. While actually at the Gulf, I
primarily spent my time in the Mobile Alabama area, specifically in
Daphne/Fairhope, and also Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and
Pensacola Florida.
During the entire trip (on the way there,
while there, and on the way back), I made it a specific point to do two things:
1- Observe as much vegetation as possible
(especially the leaves and fruits).
I
did not notice anything whatsoever to be "unusual", and in fact, I
did observe that "the Crops are looking excellent!" (for this time of
year).
Also, while in Daphne, I went to a local
Farmer's Market where they only sell "Local Grown" produce. I have
absolutely nothing negative to say/report concerning my visit to that store,
and/or my findings therein. --- Again, "the Crops are looking
excellent!", and those I did taste were delicious; (that Watermelon and
Honeydew sure did hit the spot!).
2- Talk with as many "locals" as
possible.
I
spoke with approximately 100 different people. Everyone I spoke with were
"commonfolk", that is, I did not knowingly
speak with anyone who were/are "Official" Management or Upper
Leadership concerning those "in charge" of the Oil-related Issues.
However, of those folk I did speak with,
approximately 40 people are directly involved with the "Clean-up"
operations. (Again, none of them were "Official Management/Leadersh ip"). --- Many of
those folk have been there since "week 1". -- And EVERY ONE of those
folk informed me that the majority of the things I've heard on the internet is
"over-exaggerated rubbish", and or, "outright lies". --- I
am firmly convinced that these folk have "nothing to hide" from me,
and I am confident that these people's testimonies are Truth as far as those
folk understand the "truth" (of the matter) to be.
During the entire course, I saw very little
oil. The reason for seeing "very little" oil is twofold. 1- The
majority of the oil has not yet come ashore. 2- The oil that has reached the
shores, practically "all" of it has already been cleaned-up. --- During
the daytime, the water itself was Blue, and not Black. (of course, I could not
see 30 miles away).
Concerning folk reporting
"illnesses". From over 20,000 clean-up workers, there has been less
than 50 cases of reported "illnesses". ALL of these cases are
directly related to "heat" (avg daytime
high temp: 95f) and "stress" as being the
most probable causes.
Concerning "gas masks" and other
such equipment. 1- Not "all" the workers "need" such
equipment. However, ANY of the workers who desire such "protection"
need only ask, and they will indeed be issued such equipment. 2- Those who are
actually "required" to utilize such equipment must comply or else
their employment will be terminated.
Concerning the "clean-up folk" apparently
"not doing anything/working". 1- They're "caught-up" with
the current workload. And waiting for the "next phase" of work (when
more oil washes ashore). 2- Corporate Safety & Health Regulations require
the people take extended "breaks" during the workday. (Those of us
who actually live in the Southeast US understand these concepts well, and are
quite familiar with such "patterns").
Concerning the Ocean "boiling". I
saw the videos a few weeks ago and immediately recognized that to be rubbish.
(I've lived within 1 mile of the Atlantic Ocean and/or Gulf of Mexico for
approximately 10 years of my adult life, and as such, I am familiar with many
things, including how the water "normally" looks). Thus, I did not
"need" to inquire of this matter, but did anyway. The responses were
the same: Laughter.
Concerning "Forced Evacuation". This
is something I've been paying close attention to, because I currently live less
than 350 miles from the Gulf. I have a few friends and or relatives who are
Police and Military, (some are VERY high ranking). I've spoken with several of
these people and they've all responded with the same thing: "I haven't
heard anything related to such". The people I spoke with at the Gulf all
said the same thing.
With the exception of the US Coast Guard, I
have seen no signs whatsoever of increased Military Presence -- The same goes
with everyone I've spoken with.
Conclusion:
It is true that this Oil Thing is "not
over yet". -- And, thus far we've been fortunate that we've not had a
Hurricane to affect the Oiled Region, which is something that could/would
potentially "change everything". -- And it is also true that the
birds have not yet made their annual migration south (flying through the
affected area).
... And while I certainly do not want "to
suppress the truth, and to cry, Peace, when God has not spoken peace" (GW 150.1). I do however, strive to ensure that like my
faith, my understanding and my witnessing is not "prompted by impulse or
fanaticism, but had been brought about by overwhelming evidence" (AA
124.3).
There is more ...
... but this should suffice for the time
being.
In Truth,
James
