How Pantheism and the Trinity Doctrine Render the Sanctuary Service and the Atonement as GONE

 

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.

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}

 

"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.

 

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.

 

The Testator was Jesus Christ. If He did not die to something eternally, the Testament, The Everlasting Covenant, is of no strength while the Testator lives. He died to His former being which was HOLY SPIRIT ONLY and became combined with humanity FOREVER. That forever death to His former HOLY SPIRIT ONLY BEING, paid the wages for man's sin and those wages are eternal death.

 

Three days in a tomb and the Testator living as He was before, makes the Testament (Covenant) of no strength at all. Thus, the Trinity Doctrine makes the  Testament of no strength and destroys the Sanctuary and the Atonement Service wherein the Incarnation of the Son of Man involved death to His former Holy Spirit Only being.

 

The Alpha of apostasy in the SDA church made void the Sanctuary and the Atonement. They were both GONE said Ellen White. The Omega of Apostasy involving the embracement of the Trinity Doctrine has achieved the same thing. How? Why?  Because if the Son of God did not die (divest) Himself of something FOREVER at His Incarnation, and He lives just as He was before, there has been no Atonement and no Sanctuary Service.

 

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.

 

The foundation of our faith as Seventh-day Adventists, is the Sanctuary Service and the Atonement. The Trinity Doctrine renders the Sanctuary gone, the Atonement gone, if the Son of God did not die (DIVEST HIMSELF) to something FOREVER, and IF He still lives as He was before.

 

The Trinity Doctrine teaches that very lie? How? By teaching that the Holy Spirit was a THIRD person from eternity--thus no divestment of the Son's Holy Spirit (only Being), FOREVER, as an eternal payment for the wages of sin which is eternal death. This was the greatest sacrifice the Son of God made FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH BEFORE THE CROSS. Thus, to denounce this truth is the greatest heresy one could commit and talk about speaking against the Holy Spirit, the soul of the life of the Son of God!

 

The Bible says He was slain from the foundation of the world.

 

"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.

 

“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 apostle would call our attention from ourselves to the Author of our salvation. He presents before us His two natures, divine and human. . . . He voluntarily assumed human nature. It was His own act, and by His own consent. He clothed His divinity with humanity. He was all the while as God, but He did not appear as God. He veiled the demonstrations of Deity which had commanded the homage, and called forth the admiration of the universe of God. He was God while upon earth, but He divested Himself of the form of God, and in its stead took the form and fashion of a man. He walked the earth as a man. For our sakes He became poor, that we through His poverty might be made rich. He laid aside His glory and His majesty. He was God, but the glories of the form of God He for awhile relinquished. . . . He bore the sins of the world, and endured the penalty which rolled like a mountain upon His divine soul. He yielded up His life a sacrifice, that man should not eternally die. He died, not through being compelled to die, but by His own free will." E.G. White, SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 7a, p. 446.

"Christ brought men and women power to overcome. He came to this world in human form, to live a man amongst men. He assumed the liabilities of human nature, to be proved and tried. In His humanity He was a partaker of the divine nature. In His Incarnation He gained in a NEW SENSE the title of the Son of God. Said the angel to Mary, 'The power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God' (Luke 1:35). While the Son of a human being, He became the son of God in a NEW SENSE. Thus He stood in our world--the Son of God, yet allied by birth to the human race." E.G. White, Selected Messages, vol. 1, p. 226. 

 

“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.

 

“Christ gives them the breath of His own Spirit, the life of His own Life.” Desire of Ages, p. 827, par. 3.

 

“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.

 

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.

 

How does Jesus bless us in turning every one from his iniquities? Via the soul of His life, His Holy Spirit:

Eternal Sacrifice

All of these points should be made very clear in any dealing with the Godhead, or folk will not understand what you are trying to present.

Those who believe the Trinity Doctrine and/or denounce Ellen White's teaching on the Godhead, in actuality make four distinct persons to the Godhead:

 

1.                The Father

2.                The Son

3.                The Holy Spirit

4.                The Son combined with humanity forever.

5.                 

Ellen White's view is THREE DISTINCT PERSONS:

 

1.                The Father

2.                The Son's Holy Spirit as divested from Himself at His Incarnation because it was cumbered by His humanity.

3.                The Son combined with humanity forever.

 

Ellen White said to Dr. Kellogg in 1903:

 

"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.

 

Only one person,  Ellen White, saw HOW Kellogg destroyed the Lord God Himself. Only Ellen White saw how Kellogg's pantheism teaching destroyed the personality of God (the Godhead) and the Lord God Himself.

 

Only one person, Ellen White, saw HOW and WHY Kellogg renderred the Sanctuary and the Atonement GONE, to wit:

 

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. 

 

What was it about Kellogg's teaching on pantheism that rendered the sanctuary and the atonement as GONE? It was related to the same thing involved with the Trinity Doctrine that makes it render the sanctuary and atonement as GONE. Here is how and why:

 

Pantheism postulates that the Spirit of God is in everything and everywhere at once. If that is true, why would Jesus have to ascend to the Father after His resurrection to send us His Holy Spirit? Why would Jesus have needed to die to give us His Holy Spirit, the soul of His life if that Holy Spirit had already been IN EVERYTHING and had been EVERYWHERE from eternity? You should readily see how that teaching rendered the Sanctuary and the Atonement GONE! There would have been no need for the Sanctuary and Atonement Service in the Sanctuary of Heaven so that Jesus could give us the gift of His Holy Spirit as a regenerating agency, because it would already have been within ALL OF US FROM ETERNITY.

 

The Trinity Doctrine results in the same outcome--the Sanctuary GONE, the Atonement GONE. How? Why? Because if the Holy Spirit existed forever as a third person, as the Trinity Doctrine teaches, then there was NO FOREVER SACRIFICE of the Son in DIVESTING HIS HOLY SPIRIT FROM HIS HUMANITY so that the soul of that past life, His Holy Spirit only, HIS DIVINE NATURE, could be given to man as a gift for overcoming sin. If the Holy Spirit already existed from eternity as a third person, that Holy Spirit could be sent WITHOUT ANY INCARNATION SACRIFICE. Indeed if the Holy Spirit did exist as a THIRD PERSON FROM ETERNITY, there was no Sanctuary and atonement service associated with the THIRD PERSON, the soul of the life of Christ. Thus, the Sanctuary and Atonement would be null and void--TOTALLY UNNECESSARY.

 

So pantheism and the Trinity Doctrine achieve the same end--the rending of the Sanctuary and the Atonement Sacrifice in the heavenly Sanctuary from the foundation of the world. There is no worse blasphemy that could be taught than teaching anything that does away with the Sanctuary and Atonement Service--the highest good, crowing gift of heaven, without which the cross would have been of no avail as regards sin, EXCEPT TO PARDON SIN FOREVER, because the Testament of the Testator is of no strength WHILE THE TESTATOR LIVES AS BEFORE. He must die to something forever and what He died to forever was His existence as HOLY SPIRIT ONLY, to become combined forever with humanity. That Holy Spirit ONLY person He divested from Himself at His Incarnation BECAUSE HIS HUMANITY CUMBERED THAT HOLY SPIRIT by making it impossible for Him to be every place at once, (and other limitations), became a separate person at the Incarnation. And the Son combined with humanity forever BECAME A SEPARATE DISTINCT PERSON, and if this did not occur, THEN THE TESTATOR IS AS HE ALWAYS WAS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO SANCTUARY SERVICE ATONEMENT IN HEAVEN.

 

Remember, in the Sanctuary Service, the priest had to sprinkle the blood on the altar inside the Sanctuary before the Atonement was complete. Thus, the cross did not complete the Atonement. However, it completed the sacrifice of the Lamb, just as the rendering of the Lamb in the typical service completed that rendering (sacrifice), but the Sanctuary Service was not complete until the High Priest entered the Sanctuary and sprinkled that blood on the altar.

 

It is of important consequence that God showed ONE PERSON how pantheism destroyed the Sanctuary and the Atonement. It is of important consequence that God has shown ONE PERSON how the Trinity Doctrine abolishes the Sanctuary and the Atonement, and I say that with all the humility God can lay upon me. The ministering brethren looked on in the alpha of apostasy and did not understand the implications.  The ministering brethren are looking on in the Omega of apostasy but they don't seem to understand what they have done. This is more serious than words can depict.

 

Fools are rushing in on this serious issue where angel's fear to tread.
