The Colossal Folly of One Ernie Knoll
Ernie
Knoll is a man who claims to be Elijah returned and to have an Elijah warning
message for Seventh-day Adventists. The work of Elijah is to restore the
Everlasting Covenant, because involved with that covenant is the worst apostasy
committed by the Seventh-day Adventist church. I refer to the issue of the
Godhead and the Incarnation of the Son of God into humanity.
Another man who claimed to be
Elijah and come with a message for God’s people, was J. Wilfred Johnson. The
very first works of Mr. Johnson was to establish the Everlasting Covenant and
state the truth concerning the Godhead. Mr. Johnson began relating his
teachings relative to his visions in the latter 1950’s, when the apostasy of
the church began to exhibit its most serious aspects. Mr. Johnson taught the
truth on the Godhead decades before the 1980 adoption of the blasphemous
Trinity Doctrine was adopted by the church at the 1980 General Conference World
Session.
Mr. Johnson sent his teachings
to the General Conference officials, and they were summarily rejected, just as
were the findings of pastors Robert J. Wieland and Donald K. Short on the issue
of corporate responsibility. God warned the SDA church of the truth on the most
fundamental issue of Christianity, the truth on the Godhead and the Incarnation
of Christ, long before the church adopted Rome’s central doctrine on this most
important issue of Christianity. This issue is so basic and crucial that any
error on it involves sweeping away the entire Christian economy.
Surely one would expect God to
warn His people before they should make such a grave error, and He did just
that through the agency of a true prophet in the person of J. Wilfred Johnson,
who was an astute Bible student, a professor at what was then Canadian Union
College, and a head elder of the church for at least forty years. As well, Mr.
Johnson stated the Everlasting Covenant in a way that no other person has done,
by way of his manner of endearing one to the love of God and His Son Jesus.
Elijah as the Messenger of the Covenant
The work of Elijah was/is to be
the messenger of the covenant, the Everlasting Covenant to which the Son of God
was the TESTATOR.
Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my
messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek,
shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the
LORD of hosts.
Heb
9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the
testator.
Heb 9:17 For a testament is of
force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the
testator liveth.
Mr. Johnson taught the truth on
the Godhead; that the Holy Spirit is the soul of the life of Christ; that it
was that soul that was made an offering for sin; that it was that soul that was
the Testator that must die to something FOREVER.
"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 [HIS
LIFE--THE SOUL OF HIS LIFE], 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.
“Christ had stooped to take upon
Himself man’s nature; He was to bear an infinite weight of woe as He should
make His
soul an offering for sin; yet angels desire that even in His humiliation the Son of
the Highest might appear before men with a dignity and glory befitting His
character.” E.G. White, The Great
Controversy, pp. 313, 314.
How could the Son of God make
His soul, His Divine Holy Spirit, an offering for sin, when Divinity cannot
die? The answer is that the Son of God divested Himself from His past existence
as being a DIVINE HOLY SPIRIT PERSON from eternity, to being a human forever.
He was still fully divine, but He ceased to be DIVINE ONLY FOREVER, so as to
become human forever as well. His Divinity and His humanity are two distinct
persons.
"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 Divine Nature of
the Son of God divested Himself from His human personality and the two became
independent of one another. This occurred at the Incarnation. Another person
was thus born to the Godhead at the Incarnation, THE PERSON OF THE HUMANITY OF
THE SON OF GOD. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT THIS NEW PERSON WAS BORN TO THE GODHEAD AT THE INCARNATION. Why?
Because the Trinity Doctrine teaches that the three persons to the Godhead
existed from eternity! That is a Satanic lie. The Son of God in His humanity
did not exist from eternity. That occurred only at His Incarnation. What is the
consequence of saying that the three persons to the Godhead existed from
eternity?
The entire Christian economy is
swept away by the blasphemous teaching of the Trinity Doctrine that the three
persons to the Godhead existed forever. Why? How? Because at the Incarnation,
the Son offered His Holy Spirit soul as an offering for sin. That act of
offering that Holy Spirit soul as an offering for sin, involved His being
separated (divested) from being DIVINE ONLY FOREVER THEREAFTER. That divestment
from being Divine only, to becoming human as well, involved another person
added to the Godhead, the humanity of the Son of God.
That is the only way the
Testator (WHO WAS DIVINE ONLY WHEN HE MADE THE TESTAMENT OF THE EVERLASTING
COVENANT) could die to anything FOREVER, and while the Testator lives, there is
no strength to the Testament, the Covenant. So what the Testator died to
forever was His former life estate as being DIVINE ONLY, TO BECOME A HUMAN
PRIEST FOREVER.
If another person did not accrue
AT THE INCARNATION, there was no atonement for sin! That is the blasphemous
consequence--the logical conclusion of the Trinity Doctrine and all teachings
that say the Holy Spirit is not a person; that teach the Son is not equal to
the Father, and that teach the three persons to the Godhead were/are eternal.
The humanity of Christ is/was not eternal. His humanity was born at His
Incarnation.
The Trinity Doctrine teaches
that the three persons to the Godhead are THREE CO-ETERNAL PERSONS. Can you see
the lie of that teaching? They are not CO-ETERNAL. The humanity of Christ is
not eternal in that it did not exist before His Incarnation. About 23 years
before the church adopted the Trinity Doctrine in 1980, God sent Mr. J. Wilfred
Johnson to warn the church against adopting this blasphemy of all blasphemies,
that in effect sweeps away the entire Christian economy by eclipsing the
heavenly Sanctuary atonement at which time the Son gave the soul of His life,
His Holy Spirit, in atonement for sin, by becoming human forever. He “died”
FOREVER THEREAFTER, to His former estate of being DIVINE ONLY from eternity.
"He
(Christ) suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life
which WAS His." Desire of
Ages, p. 25 1 Cor. 11:24-265, cf. John 6:53, 54, Titus 3:5, 6.
The
life of Christ that WAS HIS (Past tense), was His Divine Nature Holy Spirit
(only) life. His Incarnation sacrifice made it possible for us to partake of
that life, and that is where we get eternal life, for that life is eternal.
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.
Christ gives to
us His former soul of His life, His Holy Spirit, to overcome sin that we might
have eternal life.
Christ
a man forever (Bible on)
22By so much was Jesus made a
surety of a better testament.
23And they truly were many
priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24But this man, because he
continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25Wherefore he is able also to
save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to
make intercession for them.
26For such an high priest became
us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher
than the heavens;
27Who needeth not daily, as
those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for
the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28For the law maketh men high
priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the
law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. Hebrews 7:22-28.
"By His life and His death, Christ
has achieved even more than recovery from the ruin wrought through sin. It was
Satan's purpose to bring about an eternal separation between God and man but in
Christ we become more closely united to God than if we had never fallen. 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.' [John 3:16]. 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.' God
has adopted human nature in the person of His Son, and has carried the same
into the highest heaven. It is the 'Son of man' who shares the throne of the
universe. It is the 'Son of man' whose name shall be called, 'Wonderful,
Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the prince of Peace.' [Isa.
9:6]. The I Am is the Daysman between God and humanity, laying His hand upon
both. He who is 'holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,' is not
ashamed to call us brethren. [Heb. 7:26 2:11.] In Christ the family of earth
and the family of heaven are bound together. Christ glorified is our brother.
Heaven is enshrined in humanity, and humanity is enfolded in the bosom of
Infinite love." The Desire of Ages, 25.
Enter One Ernie Knoll, Claimant to Being
Elijah!
Elijah
is sent to re-establish God’s Covenant. Elijah is the messenger of that
Covenant. Ernie Knoll did not come along until 2005, 25 years after the church
committed the most horrible abomination it could ever commit! Is that how God
works? Or is it reasonable to conclude that God would warn His church against
such a mistake years beforehand, as He did through the teachings of J. Wilfred
Johnson?
I just
checked through all 68 dreams of Ernie Knoll (as of June 23, 2014), and NOT
ONCE does he teach the truth on the Godhead--the Everlasting Covenant, the
Testator’s Covenant. All his dreams say about the Godhead I enumerate below,
and none of it says anything about the blasphemy of the Trinity Doctrine, the most
abominable apostasy the church could every adopt! Thus, I have to conclude that
one Ernie Knoll is an imposter fraud as far as being Elijah is concerned! This,
combined with the information at the following link: https://omega77.tripod.com/ernieknollfalseelements.htm
proves Ernie Knoll to be an imposter fraud, misleading God’s people by mixing
serious error with truth, and omitting serious truth on the most fundamental of
all issues, the Godhead. Thus, Ernie is indictable by his errors of omission as
well as his errors of commission.
Ernie Knoll on the Godhead http://www.formypeople.org/the_truth/en/chapter_v2_1.shtml#ThepurifiedSDAChurch
“It is false to state that the
Holy Spirit is not a real Person and not a part of the Godhead”
“A false belief regarding the Godhead, such as there
is no Holy Spirit as a separate Person.”
“We
are hoping there has just been a misunderstanding by Pastor Wohlberg on the
semantics of “Jesus would come to Earth as a created Being,” and that he agrees
with the following explanation.
“The
Herald was not saying that Jesus was created from the beginning before He came
to this earth. He was not saying that He was not still part of the Godhead while on this
earth. He was simply stating that Jesus came to this earth by being created in
Mary’s womb, just as any other baby on this earth. The Herald explained that the
“Holy Spirit placed Him in the womb as a seed. He was placed in a pure
undefiled womb that had never been touched.” This is simply explaining that
Mary was a virgin. When the Herald states that “the Creator became a human” and
that “He became that which was created in His own image,” it is to show how
Jesus humbled himself to become like one of us. Is that not something that
should be stressed, to show His incredible love for us?”
“It
is agreed that the Son of God took on human form and “clothed His divinity with
humanity.” It is agreed that “Satan fell because of his ambition to be equal
with God.” The Herald stated it this way: “I watched as Lucifer in heaven
disagreed with the Father and wanted to be equal with our Creator.” With all
this in mind, it is clear that the Herald did not lie. Perhaps if Pastor
Wohlberg had questioned Ernie on this matter, there would have been no
misunderstanding.”
“Through the incarnation, Jesus
became fully human. To be fully human, He would become a created being (see
quotes that follow). However, this did not deny His complete divinity. He still
remained the great I AM. “The great condescension on the part of God is a
mystery that is beyond our fathoming. The greatness of the plan cannot be fully
comprehended, nor could infinite Wisdom devise a plan that would surpass it. It
could only be successful by the clothing of divinity with humanity, by Christ
becoming man, and suffering the wrath which sin has made because of the
transgression of God's law.” S.D.A. Bible Commentary, Vol. 5, p. 1124.
QUOTING ELLEN WHITE:
The
Faith I Live By, p. 48
“That
He might accomplish His purpose of love for the fallen race, He became bone of
our bone and flesh of our flesh.
How wide is the contrast between
the divinity of Christ and the helpless infant in Bethlehem's manger! How can
we span the distance between the mighty God and a helpless child? And yet the
Creator of worlds, He in whom was the fullness of the Godhead bodily, was
manifest in the helpless babe in the manger. Far higher than any of the angels,
equal with the Father in dignity and glory, and yet wearing the garb of
humanity! Divinity and humanity were mysteriously combined, and man and God
became one.”
Dream 34 Repent I am Coming
November 12, 2008
Dream Two Cars March 12, 2010
“I begin walking down the steps
to leave. After I get to the bottom and I turn to leave I notice about twenty
people standing and talking. One of them states that some of them are going to
study what I have shared to prove it is not of God. I see thirteen people turn
and walk following the individual and they are going to form a study group. I
look at the remaining seven. A woman with three of her friends states that they
have been following what a certain individual has been teaching. They hold up
many books, DVDs and CDs by this person and she mentions how this individual
has so much to teach. I notice no Bible or Spirit of Prophecy books. The four
people turn and walk away. I now look at the last three people. One of them
walks away from the other two and kneels to pray. I look at the last two
people. One immediately starts saying that
the Holy Spirit is not a person. The other one states that we must believe as
the original pioneers. One states that I will be lost unless I admit that the
Holy Spirit is not a real person and not a part of the Godhead. I see these two walk away. I turn to the one lady who is
now getting up from her knees. She comes to me and asks, “What do I need to do
to get ready? How do I begin to repent? What do I need to know to be ready when
Jesus comes?”
Dream 59 The Lord’s Prayer
November 8, 2011
“The angel tells me that many do
not pay close attention in the next part to how Jesus ends his prayer by
saying, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.”
When Jesus says this, it also refers to the Godhead. In the same way He instructed, “Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost,” Jesus speaks of the kingdom being the Father’s throne,
the power being the Holy Spirit, and the glory being the Son of God.”
Ernie Knoll’s Attempt at Intimidation
Mr. J. Wilfred Johnson, humbly taught his teaching without trying to intimidate
anyone. On the contrary, Ernie and some of his most adamant supporters send out
his threat that all who do not believe his dreams and/or protest against them
will be destroyed by being slowly swallowed into the earth. What a colossal
fraud!
