Issues
Involving Laval Picard—The Self Proclaimed
Forerunner of Christ

Laval Picard was trained as an Adventist
Minister at Canadian Union College (now Canadian University College). He
worked as an SDA minister for about two years. Then he joined an independent
ministry for a time, believed to be Fourth Angel Ministries, and then decided
that ministry had errors so he became a ministry unto himself, referring to
himself a forerunner, implying that he is forerunner as John the Baptist was
the forerunner of Christ. Some believe that Laval is deeply studied. I
do not. He has studied quite deeply into one area of Scripture and the Spirit
of Prophecy, primely on the all important topic of righteousness by faith as
it was taught in 1888. He understands a portion of that issue quite deeply,
the part that would never cause persecution, but then, ironically,
intentionally, or otherwise, he advises a course to professing Seventh-day
Adventist church members that does total despite to any true and full
understanding of righteousness by faith. That is why I do not believe that Laval Picard
is a deep student of the Word, and does not possess the astuteness and
spiritual discernment one would expect from a person who considers himself to
be and/or desires to be the forerunner of Jesus Christ’s second coming. There are portions of Laval’s righteousness by
faith teachings that are essential and true. However, it is his application
of what he believes to be the true, full gospel to end-time events and
extra-probation for a church that has committed unpardonable sin that is
problematic and he refuses to answer the following questions that would force
his errors to the forefront and incriminate his evidence as contradictory to
other evidence and/or totally bogus, rendering him as a decided false prophet
to God’s professing people. What
Laval Picard Teaches Laval teaches, as do I, as does Ellen White,
that the two calls of Matthew 22 have another end-time fulfillment involving
God’s professing people, Seventh-day Day Adventists. Here is what Laval
teaches and why and wherein I disagree with him as revealed in a post to
Tabaitha on an SDA Internet chat group. ----- Original

Ron Beaulieu Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 5:01 PM Subject: Re: [DefendEGW] Fw: [SDAIssues] Re: Laval's
booklets Tabaitha, Laval is a member of this group. He is an ex-SDA minister who
believes that no other SDA's "know their right from their left"
regarding righteousness by faith. Righteousness by faith is nothing more than
right-doing by buying gold tried in the fire--faith that works by love for Christ
and faith in His Merits and the power of His read and heard Word (faith
cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God) to empower all
that is required in that quest. Laval believes in a repetition of the two calls of Matthew
22:1-10, as do I. However, we disagree as to how those calls are implemented.
We believe that the first call to SDA's was made in 1888 in the righteousness
by faith sermons delivered by A.T. Jones and E.J. Waggoner at the General
Conference Session. The principles there espoused were rejected by the
leadership of the church, but extolled by Ellen White and a very few faithful
leaders. Laval and I both believe that the second call began in 1955-7,
when SDA leaders held Evangelical Conferences with Walter Martin and Donald
Grey Barnhouse, and proceeded to sell-out on pillar doctrines of Adventism,
which was tantamount to scraping the Sanctuary and Atonement messages. We
both agree that act was tantamount to the crucifixion of Christ AFRESH. Laval
believes the second call must go until someone is martyred such as was
Stephen in the historical call to the Jews. This is where our disagreement
begins. My
disagreement with Laval is involved with the following factors:
This is it in a nutshell Tabaitha (and other
newer members), and should place you in a position to follow our discussions
which will continue because after a number of kind appeals to Laval, along with
his recent rejection of those appeals, and his statement yesterday that HE
WILL NEVER SEE EYE TO EYE WITH ME, the battle has just begun because he is
deceiving God's people. Also, he has told me that he will NEVER accept Ellen
White definition of the Holy Spirit which is: "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. What this statement means is that the
Holy Spirit was not always a third person. He came about as a result of
Christ being Incarnated away from His DIVINE ONLY existence and being
combined with humanity forever. He gave us that DIVINE ONLY existence as His
agency for overcoming sin. That was a huge sacrifice associated with the
Incarnation. In fact, Ellen White termed it His highest good, crowning
sacrifice, without which his sacrifice on the cross would have been to no
avail--meaning that without the agency to give us power to overcome,
all the cross would have achieved would have been to pardon sin forever.
There is much on my Website about this. Don't expect to take it in by way of
one very brief description. The Trinity Doctrine, which Laval
holds, as a "holdover" from his Catholic background, does total
despite to the great sacrifice of Christ's Holy Spirit DIVINE ONLY life for
us at His Incarnation. How? Why? Because the Trinity Doctrine, which Rome
brags to be her central doctrine, teaches that the Holy Spirit has existed as
a separate person FOREVER. It has existed forever, because the Father and the
Son have one eternal Spirit--same essence and substance. But Jesus did not
separated from that DIVINE ONLY being until being Incarnated and combined
with humanity FOREVER. Ellen White says that He took on humanity forever. Don't be concerned if this is too deep
for a first sitting. We will discuss it many times over, and if you have
questions, just feel free to ask. Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Beaulieu Sent:

Re: [SDAIssues] Re: Laval's booklets Laval, You are treating Adventists as though they
don't know the three angel's messages. Don't you think they will find that
not to their liking? Just like you tell them they don't know their left from
their right concerning righteousness by faith. Now your acting like the only
one who knows the first angel's message is you! You are lying again in saying
that I have not taught the first angle's message. That shows your great
ignorance and immaturity. I have presented the errors of 1955-7 and the
errors of new movement Adventism, exposing the theories, maxims and doctrines
of men. But you said that righteousness by faith had to be taught first! You
chastised me for giving what you now call the first angel's message! You say
I didn't and don't give it! You are a liar and a deceiver. While in full recognition that the messages
are repeated to the church in the second call, and then to the world in the
third call, you are essentially doing the following: ·
You are instructing Adventists who know the first and second
angel's message that they can KNOWINGLY violate it imperviously. ·
Jesus "gathered out" those who would give the call.
In 1844, they were gathered out. It was the bride making the Midnight Cry
call. ·
But 3 1/2 years after the second call to the Jews, true Christians
were gathered out because they rejected the second call. Home churches were
formed. ·
It is 50 years plus after the second call began to SDA's,
according to your own admission, and yet you instruct God's people who obeyed
the first and second angel's messages and the Midnight Cry to come out of
Babylon, that they can now member with a new movement that is re-linked in
liaison with Babylon. That is treason. That is betrayal of sacred trusts.
That is unfaithfulness to the Word of God. That is like the disciples
instructing the Jews that they could remain in the apostate Temple until the
third call to the world! If they had done so, the Jews would have been
destroyed and that is the logical outcome of your advice to professing
Seventh-day Adventists. You are instructing them to violate the first and
second angel's messages they already responded to in order to become
Adventists, as well as the Midnight Cry, while waiting for the third call to
the world. ·
Let's agree that the second call is still in progress. Folk
are accountable for the first, second, and Midnight Cry messages WHEN THEY
HEAR THEM. But you say, sleep comfy in a new
movement that is violating those messages until the final cry goes to the
world and you can jump on the band-wagon then! That is a deceptive satanic
lie that will lead all who believe you to certain eternal loss. ·
I advise SDA's to think for themselves and not rely on leaders
who will only lead them to destruction. How many times have I posted Isaiah 9:16. How many
times have I instructed them to dig for themselves as for hidden treasure. And you lie and say I have not taught the first
angel's message. ·
You are saying that righteousness by faith is possible while
embracing Babylon's doctrine of the Trinity. Ellen White and the pioneers did
not do that. The Trinity Doctrine neuters the highest good, crowing
sacrificial gift Christ made, which made the Merits of Christ possible for us
to receive. You thus admix Catholicism with the
three angel's messages and they don't mix! Ron Important
Questions and Issues That Laval Picard Will not Address One would expect that one come in the spirit
and power of Elijah, as John the Baptist did, and as John was considered one
the greatest prophets who ever lived, he would able to respond to the following
issues confronting God’s people at the end-time. In addition to all the
issues mentioned in this document thus far, there are additional issues Laval
refuses to address, as does the leadership of the SDA church. Issue
#1 Corporate Responsibility Laval’s
view versus Scripture and Ellen White on Corporate Responsibility as
expressed to someone on the Internet: “For
a long time now I have come to see "corporate responsibility" as
being perfectly demonstrated in the lives of the prophets, especially Moses
and Daniel. I am sure you know what I am talking about. Daniel did not wait
for the church to repent. He
repented for the church. He
repented for those who could not repent for themselves. He fully
identified himself with apostate Israel. He confessed the sins of Israel as
though he were guilty of them before God pleading for Him to forgive and to
listen and to act! Daniel 9:4-19.. That is what I
believe corporate responsibility is about. Jesus identified Himself with us,
with our sins, and pleaded for us, and still is. Moses did the same and so
did all the prophets. Are we not to do the same? Are we not to confess the
sins and apostasies of Modern Israel as though they were our own and plead
before God to forgive, to listen and to act? The Lord is long suffering and
He will give a last opportunity for His light to shine upon His professed
people one last time before the last message of mercy swells into a loud cry
to the world! Do you agree?” :) laval Ron responds: Laval has a French Catholic
background. A very serious aspect of that Catholic influence creeps out in
his post above. Catholicism believes that one can repent for the sins of
another! This is a high sign that Laval may still be a Catholic at least in
heart. He said He will never forsake the Catholic Doctrine of the Trinity,
now this! We can repent for the sinners in our midst’s
and they will be forgiven! If Moses, Daniel, or anyone else could have
repented for the sins of Israel, why, pray tell, did Moses have 14,000 of
Korah’s rebellion killed before he prayed for those who repented? Why did he
have 3,000 killed at the Golden Calf even because they would not repent and
form at his right side? He did that BEFORE praying the next morning for those
who had REPENTED. Moses did not repent for anything, and neither did Daniel
or any other prophet. That is a pure heresy of Catholicism! Ellen White clearly stated that the principle
involved in Achan’s sin, Joshua Chapters 6 and 7,
apply today. She further stated: "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. "There are fearful woes for those who preach the
truth, but are not sanctified by it, and also for those who consent to
receive and maintain the unsanctified to minister to them in word and
doctrine." Testimonies, vol. 1, p 261-62. The Lord said to Joshua, "Neither will I
be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you." The defects of character
in any member of the church, or in the minister, are charged to the church if
the church make light of the defects. If you place Elder Daniels over the church as a minister, you, as a
church, assume his defects, you make them your own, and the whole church
stands under the rebuke of God, even as ancient Israel was under his rebuke
on account of the sin of Achan. But your case will be more grievous than
theirs, because you knew the evil, yet hid your eyes from it and walked
contrary to the will of God. {PH028 5.4} ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Beaulieu

forum, message #8421, Thu May 10, 2007 9:16 pm. As you know,
Catholics believe that we can repent for the sins of others. That is pure
heresy. That is totally contrary to Scripture and Ellen White on corporate
repentance. This is why Laval refuses to respond to my overtures to him
concerning his stand on corporate repentance. Here (below) is the
Catholic lie he really believes. I now well believe that he may be a
Jesuit in our midsts. Compare Ellen White's view on corporate responsibility
with Laval's: "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. Did John the Baptist repent for the
sins of Israel or did he tell them to repent and be baptized. Can Laval
Picard or any other SDA repent for the sins of modern apostate Israel? That
is pure Catholic heresy friends! We have Catholic heresy being taught by one
who claims to be the forerunner of Jesus Christ's second coming. Yes, the war
has just begun. Also, scroll down to note that I asked
this question over a year ago. The date of the following post was May 9,

NARROW PATH (Time of added probation)
TIME OF ADDED PROBATION Now we should all be able to
appreciate the truth that in spite of the fact that the "new organization" has
fallen off the path, that we are living in the time of "added
probation". This is exactly what happened in the days of
Christ. At the time of His crucifixion the entire Jewish structure
was off the path and out of the light and
was left unto them desolate. "Your house is left unto you
desolate." However, though the Jewish
"organization" had gone beyond the point of no return by crucifying Jesus,
"the Lord's care and labor for His people had not lessened but
increased." C.O.L.218. The time following the crucifixion was a time of "added
probation" when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples at
Pentecost: "This was the message borne to
the Jewish people after the crucifixion of Christ; but the nation
that claimed to be Christ's peculiar people rejected the gospel
brought to them in the power of the Holy Spirit. Many did this is the most scornful
manner. Others were so exasperated by the offer of
salvation and the offer of pardon for rejecting the Lord of glory, that
they turned upon the bearers of the message. There was 'a great persecution.' Acts 8:1.
Many both of men and women were thrust into prison,
and some of the Lord's messengers, as Stephen and James were put to death. Thus the
Jewish people sealed their rejection of God's mercy. The result
was foretold in the parable." C.O.L.308, 309. History is about to be repeated. The
latter rain will be another Pentecost and the scenario described
above will be fulfilled again to the very letter! If you wish to read more about what is
going to take place, turn to THE ADVENT MOVEMENT ILLUSTRATED from Early
Writings, pp. 240,241 and THE SHAKING from the same book, pp. 269-271. laval THE END Laval
Picard’s Interpretation of the Added Probation to the Jews After the
Crucifixion Let’s analyze
Laval’s interpretation of what occurred in the time of “added probation” from
the time of the crucifixion to the time the Holy Spirit was poured out upon
the disciples on the Day of Pentecost and thereafter. The probation of Israel was to close at the end of the
70 weeks of Daniel 9:24. The end of that period was accompanied by the
stoning of Stephen. Laval has the notion that the probation for the SDA
church will extend to the time of the antitypical Day of Pentecost, which
will ensue shortly before the time of the National Sunday law and that it
will cause much persecution and bloodshed as occurred in the prefigure of
Israel. I totally disagree that probation of the SDA church
will extend to the time of the antitypical Day of Pentecost, but I do believe
that probation for INDIVIDUALS in all fallen churches will extend to that
time. But there is a more serious factor involved here. We are responsible
for truth when we hear it. Ellen White said that those who heard and
understood the messages of 1844, the first and second angel’s messages, and
the Midnight Cry, (which she said gave power to the second angel’s message),
were held accountable for responding to those messages when they heard and
understood. We are responsible for the light of truth when we hear
and understand it. Were that not true, we could have dwelt in the fallen churches
until the final separation of the wheat from the tares. The prime reasons for
every separation that has occurred from fallen churches is because of
corporate responsibility for the open sins causing the fall and the
irrefutable but subtle influence those sins exert on God’s people. For
example: "It is impossible for you to
unite with those who are corrupt, and still remain pure. (II Corinthians 6:14, 15 quoted). God and Christ and the heavenly
host would have men know that if he unites with the corrupt he will become
corrupt." E.G. White, Review and
Herald, Vol. 4, p. 137. If those
words are not true, they mean nothing! If true, they mean exactly what they
say—it is impossible to unite with those who are openly corrupt and still
remain pure. You could not ripen as pure wheat for the heavenly garner. If
you unite with the openly corrupt you will become corrupt. Do you believe it?
God says it in 11 Cor. 6:14, 15. Uniting With the Corrupt Makes it
Impossible for the Wheat to Mature into the full Stature of Christ "Thorns
sprung up.--The thorns made it impossible for the wheat to mature
(see Luke 8:14). In the same way secular interests prevent the
fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23) from reaching maturity. Religion is
relegated to the subordinate position of being only one interest among many.
For lack of cultivation it withers and eventually dies. That which the
thorny-ground hearers lack is a moral transformation [E.G. White, Christ's Object Lessons, p.
50] To them, justification is the sum and substance of religion, and
they fail to realize that the Christian life consists essentially in the
process known as sanctification--the process by which evil traits and
tendencies are replaced by the perfect life-pattern of Jesus Christ." Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary,
vol. 5, 405. This is
precisely what New Movement Seventh-day Adventists
(Selected Messages, vol. 1, 204-205), teaches—that justification ONLY is the sum and substance of religion. "We
have a testing message to give, and I am instructed to say to our people,
'Unify, unify.' But we are not to unify with those who are departing from the
faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. With our
hearts sweet ad kind and true, we are to go forth to proclaim the message,
giving no heed to those who lead away from the truth." Selected Messages, Bk. 3, p. 412; Series B, No. 2, p. 47. "To
divide our interests with the leaders of error is aiding the wrong side and
giving advantage to our foes. The truth of God knows no compromise with sin,
no connection with artifice, no union with transgression." Testimonies, Vol. 4, p. 81. "To
secure peace and unity they were ready to make any concession consistent with
fidelity to God but they felt that even peace would be too dearly purchased
at the sacrifice of principle. If unity could be secured only by the
compromise of truth and righteousness, then let there be difference, and even
war." (Great Controversy, p. 45). "Christ calls for
unity. But He does not call for us to unify
on wrong practices. The God of heaven
draws a sharp contrast between pure, elevating, ennobling truth and false,
misleading doctrines." 1SM 175. Laval’s Serious Error on the Time
of Added Probation Spoken of by Ellen White Laval
Picard misapprends a most serious truth and thus his end-time scenario is
based on a wrong premise. That serious error involves the time that the
latter rain of the Day of Pentecost occurs. Laval has it right in the ancient
historic application for he agrees that it occurred just before the second
call of Matthew 21:1-10, to the Jews. But he totally misses the mark in his
end-time application. All we need do to prove that is to look back to the
type. Laval
said to Sunray: “The Lord is long suffering and He will give a last opportunity
for His light to shine upon His professed people one last time before the last message of mercy
swells into a loud cry to the world!” So he must believe in the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit BEFORE the last message of mercy swells into a loud cry to
the world. What he fails to see is that persecution of faithful SDA’s has
already occurred. About 3 ½ years after the apostasy of 1955-7, the church
became linked with Babylon’s Association’s Counsels, Councils, Girdings, and
Confederacies. The church admitted in the Adventist
Review circa 1990, that it has been a MEMBER of The Council of Free
Churches in Hungary for 30 years! That is equal to the idolatry and
consipiracy that the Jews committed against God in Jeremiah 11:9-15. A
synonym for conspiracy is confederacy. God says not to pray for those who do
this, and Isaiah 8:9-13 gives one option for those who commit this
sins—BROKEN IN PIECES—SPOKEN THREE TIMES FOR EMPHASIS. Laval believes that he is giving the
message that causes persecution. I maintain that he is giving the part of
righteousness that DOES NOT and NEVER WILL cause persecution. I believe that
the message of FULL RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH that I am giving will and already
has caused persecution to the point of martyrdom! What The Full Message of Righteousness by Faith Embraces Several have written to me, inquiring if
the message of justification by faith is the third angel's message, and I
have answered, "It is the third
angel's message in verity."--1SM 372 (1890). {LDE 199.4} Ellen White on the 1888 message The Lord in His great mercy sent a most
precious message to His people through Elders [E.J.] Waggoner and [A. T.]
Jones. This message was to bring more prominently before the world the
uplifted Saviour, the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. It presented
justification through faith in the Surety; it invited the people to receive
the righteousness of Christ, which is made manifest in obedience to all the
commandments of God. {LDE 200.1} I will tell you straight out that if
you can discern the full meaning of the following statement, you will
understand the full implications of righteousness by faith, which Ellen White
said was the three angel’s messages—justification by
faith in verity. The following statement embraces the aspect of righteousness
by faith that Laval, and most other SDA ministers and members regard as
distinct FROM the three angel’s messages of Righteousness by faith: "The
peculiar work of the third angel has not been seen in its importance. God
meant that His people should be far in advance of the position which they
occupy today. But now, when the time has come for them to spring into action,
they have the preparation to make. When the National Reformers began to urge
measures to restrict religious liberty, our leading men should have been
alive to the situation and should have labored earnestly to counteract these
efforts. It is not in the order of God that light has been kept from our
people--the very present truth which they needed for this time. Not all our
ministers who are giving the third angel's message really understand what
constitutes that message. The National Reform movement has been regarded by
some as of so little importance that they have not thought it necessary to
give much attention to it and have even felt that in so doing they would be
giving time to questions distinct from the third angel's message. May the
Lord forgive our brethren for thus interpreting the very message for this time." {5T 714.2} Laval
and many other “Adventists” have accused me of giving time to questions
distinct from “their concept” of the three angel’s
messages because I warn against the unpardonable sin of knowing, willful
involvement with ecumenism. That is what takes men and money away from the
apostate church! That is what causes and has already caused much persecution,
and as more men and women see this link between righteousness by faith and
their duty to leave a church that has forsaken righteousness by faith and
thereby the three angel’s messages, the very mission and commission to the
SDA church, and leave or commit unpardonable sin, they will leave and this
will cause the persecution. But Laval has not possessed the spiritual discernment
to see this. I warned him long ago that he did not know who or what he was
dealing with when contesting me, but, of course, he did not believe me.
Lacking spiritual discernment, he would not be able to see what he was
dealing with. But he is just beginning to find out and the longer he contests
the truth that I am giving, God will give me the ammunition to expose his
error that involves loss of eternal life. Laval
correctly states that the second call of Matthew 22:1-10 began at the stoning
of Stephen, 3 ½ years after the crucifixion of Christ. Israel’s probation per
the 70 weeks of Daniel 9:24 was over. They sealed
the end of their probationary time with the stoning of Stephen, just as SDA’s
sealed their probationary time by causing their leading theologian, M.L.
Andreasen so much stress that he developed bleeding ulcers and bled to death!
There is more than one way to kill a martyr for the cause. Dr. PaulTulla has
informed me that two Africans who teach our message on the Godhead were
killed. In the Roman Catholic church disbelief in their Trinity Doctrine is
anathema. Now Adventists are killing other Adventists for the same reason!
Like Mother, like daughter! And this is going to get worse! This is what the
full teaching of righteousness by faith provokes—PERSECUTION, the same
persecution that Laval believes will come in the future due to his diluted
message of righteousness by faith. It will never happen due to the watering
down of any aspect of the righteousness by faith message, because Satan knows
he already has such persons in his clutches! In the prefigure of Matthew 22, there was added probation FOR
IN DIVIDUALS, NOT THE APOSTATE STRUCTURE—THE TEMPLE AND its LEADERS. It was at
that time, during the second call of Matthew 22, that
the disciples gathered out folk into home churches all over Judea. Here is a
record of those home churches: Scripture on Home Churches Act 16:32
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his
house. Act 16:34
And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and
rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. Act 16:40
And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and
when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed. Act 18:7
And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man's] house, named
Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. Rom 16:5
Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house. Salute my well beloved
Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. 1Cr 1:11
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of
the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1Cr 16:15
I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the
firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have addicted themselves to the
ministry of the saints,) 1Cr 16:19

22 1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again
by parables, and said, 2 The
kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his
son, 3 And
sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and
they would not come. 4 Again,
he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I
have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my
fatlings are killed, and all things
are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But
they made light of it, and went
their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And
the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew
them. 7 But
when the king heard thereof, he was
wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and
burned up their city. 8 Then
saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden
were not worthy. 9 Go
ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the
marriage. 10 So
those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many
as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. Laval
agrees that the apostasy of the SDA/Evangelical Conferences of 1955-7,
constituted the event that crucified Christ afresh. God was thus removed as a
result of the apostasy that “removed God,” 1SM 205, just as the Spirit of His
presence was removed from the Sanctuary when He was crucified on the cross. Where
we differ is: ·
On the point that the second call began. ·
How many martyrs are necessary to fulfill
Matthew 22:6. ·
Whether or not M.L. Andreasen was a martyr
when the leaders treated him so terribly that he incurred bleeding ulcers and
bled to death! ·
Whether or not there have already been
martyrs when there have been three to date (June 26, 2008), M.L. Andreasen,
1963 and two Africans in recent time. ·
Whether or not a teaching of Christ’s Merits
ALONE will cause persecution. ·
Exactly what causes the persecution.
A.T. Jones quoted Luther as saying that Rome would not have paid one whit of
attention to him until he took away men and their money! That gives some
insight into what causes persecution. The Jews feared the same thing in
regard to the work of
Christ, and their fear came to fruition! ·
Whether or not we can remain in an apostate
church after hearing and understanding the second call in our day. I say not.
Laval says yes. He thus denies what occurred in the second call in the prefigure. ·
Whether or not the third call to the world
is AFTER the murderous city, apostate Adventism is destroyed, Matthew 22:6-7,
verse seven being the same event as Ezekiel 9:6 as fulfilled in A.D. 70, when
the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. ·
Whether it involves a second “added time for
probation” for the apostate structure, or for INDIVIDUALS in all fallen
churches. ·
Laval denies Ellen White’s clear statement
defining the Holy Spirit as the soul of Christ’s life, which means that He
gave us His former DIVINE ONLY HOLY SPIRIT LIFE as a regenerating gift and
took on human nature forever as part of His Being. So there were always the Father
and the Son, but the Son’s Holy Spirit, which was always in existence, was
cumbered when Christ was Incarnated into a human and
He laid aside that Divine Only Being as a Divine Nature gift to us. There
were then three distinct persons: Father, Holy Spirit, Christ united to
humanity forever. God is a Spirit says scripture, and it also says that there
is ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT—THE ETERNAL SPIRIT. That is the essence and substance
of God that has existed eternally. ·
Laval has vowed to me that he will NEVER relinquish
the central doctrine of Rome, the Trinity Doctrine. ·
Laval will not respond whatsoever after I
have asked him many times about the following statements involving past
examples of separation long before the close of Israel’s probation: 1. "The recreant priests added
licentiousness to the dark catalogue of their crimes yet they still polluted
by their presence the tabernacle of the Lord, and, laden with sin, dared to
come into the presence of a holy God. As the men of Israel witnessed the
corrupt course of the priests, they thought it safer for their families not
to come up to the appointed place of worship. Many went from Shiloh with
their peace disturbed, their indignation aroused, until they at last
determined to offer their sacrifices themselves, concluding that this would
be fully as acceptable to God, as to sanction in any manner the abominations
practiced in the Sanctuary." E.G. White, The Signs of the Times, vol. 1, p. 264, col. 3, December 1, 1881.
2. Ellen White’s counsel in the Alpha
of Apostasy. What would she say today?! 3. Jeremiah 11:9-15: 9 And
the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and
among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They are turned back to the iniquities of
their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other
gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my
covenant which I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I
will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though
they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. 12 Then shall the cities of Judah and
inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer
incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. 13 For according
to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O
Judah; and according to the number
of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even
altars to burn incense unto Baal. 14 Therefore pray not thou for this people,
neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me
for their trouble. 15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house,
seeing she hath wrought lewdness
with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when
thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. [THEY CELEBRATE] Celebrationsis
Movement from Pentecostalism and Vatican II. 4. "The
Sanhedrin had rejected Christ's message and was bent upon His death therefore
Jesus departed from Jerusalem, from
the priests, the temple, the religious leaders, the people who had been
instructed in the law, and turned to another class to proclaim His message,
and to gather out those who should carry the gospel to all nations. As the light and life of men was rejected by the
ecclesiastical authorities in the days of Christ, so it has been rejected in
every succeeding generation. Again and again the history of Christ's
withdrawal from Judea has been repeated. When the Reformers preached the word
of God, they had no thought of separating themselves from the established
church but the religious leaders would not tolerate the light, and those that
bore it were forced to seek another class, who were longing for the truth. In
our day few of the professed followers of the Reformers are actuated by their
spirit. Few are listening for the voice of God, and ready to accept truth in
whatever guise it may be presented. Often those who follow in the steps of
the Reformers are forced to turn away from the churches they love, in order
to declare the plain teaching of the word of God. And many times those who
are seeking for light are by the same teaching obliged to leave the church of
their fathers, that they may render obedience." E.G. White, Desire of Ages, 232. A number
of folk have asked Laval about the two calls of Matthew 22:1-10 as Ellen
White applies them in the following chapter, but he will not respond as to
their time and place since 1844: Matthew 22 Sermons and Talks Called to the Wedding Feast (Sermon by Ellen G. White In
Washington, Township, Iowa, Cir. 1874.)
The words which I have selected as a foundation for a few remarks you
will find in the 22nd chapter of Matthew, beginning at the first verse.
[Verses 1-10, quoted.] {1SAT 4.1}
The portion of Scripture presented before us, which
I have referred to and have presented before your minds, is of intense
meaning--much more than I am able to explain. It is of great interest to us,
and we should consider it, and let it have due weight upon our minds. We find
by perusing God's sacred Word of inspiration that when the promised Messiah,
the Son of God, came into the world His own people, even His own nation--the
Jews--would not and did not receive Him. As we are told in the first chapter
of St. John, "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not"
(John 1:11). {1SAT 4.2}
The provision was made, but they would not receive it. The Father
Himself provided a ransom, even a sacrifice. His own dear Son submitted
Himself to His Father's requirements, came into this sinful world, became a
man of sorrow and acquainted with grief. He went about doing good, speaking
in tones of tenderness, saying in the deepest and most fervent and sweetest
accents ever uttered, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for
I am meek and lowly in heart"; and He assures us we shall find rest to
our souls. {1SAT 4.3}
"Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are
bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are
killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light
of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another
to his merchandise." -5- {1SAT 4.4}
The great King Himself hath made a marriage for His Son. He hath sent forth His servants for many
hundreds of years, saying, "Come, for all things are ready." But
how little do they [people of the] world heed the invitation! They make light of it and go their ways
to their worldly pursuits and worldly pleasures, the same as they have done
for centuries. But the King sendeth forth His armies and destroys those
murders and burns up their city, and we are told in the ninth chapter of
Daniel, the 26th verse, that "the people of the Prince that shall come
shall destroy the city...; and the end thereof shall be with a flood."
{1SAT 5.1} Note by Ron: Notice the “supplied” words
above: [people of the] world, obviously
supplied by the editors at the White Estate, because Ellen White is speaking
of the second call to HIS PEOPLE, just before the murderous city is
destroyed, and the third call goes to the world. This is a most devious
deception by the White Estate for the true meaning is so obvious. End note.
"Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as
many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage." {1SAT 5.2}
In the 14th chapter of Luke, verse 16, we find that there was made a
great supper and many were bidden. Servants were sent forth to say to those
that were bidden, "Come; for all things are now ready" [verse 17].
But they made excuses. {1SAT 5.3}
The King of the kingdom hath made a marriage supper for His Son. He
hath sent forth His servants to say to those which are bidden, "Come to
the marriage." The Lord is
sending His servants, saying unto all who will hear, "Come, make
ready for the great marriage supper of the Lamb; He is soon coming to receive
all the faithful to the mansions prepared by Him, to partake of the feast
which He hath prepared." He is sending, and hath been sending His
servants for some thirty years past to say unto His people, "Come, make
ready, put on your wedding garments; clothe yourselves with meekness,
humility, and truth, and have yourselves clad in the righteousness of Christ,
that you may be -6- able to appear before Him, and enter into the guest chamber with
those who shall sit with Me at the wedding of My Son." {1SAT 5.4}
All must be clothed with the wedding garment in order to be accepted,
lest we be found speechless. {1SAT 6.1}
Is it not of the greatest importance that we be found having on the
robe of righteousness, that we be ready when the Bridegroom cometh to enter
in to the marriage supper? May we heed the invitation given and make
ourselves ready that we may have admittance into the Master's house, that He say not unto us that none which were bidden shall taste of
His supper. In the parable, those who were bidden heeded not its invitation,
but continued excusing themselves, feasting upon the pleasures of this world
as the masses do at the present time. {1SAT 6.2}
The servants of God are inviting and entreating them to come away from
the alluring scenes of this vain and fleeting world, to make ready for the
marriage supper, but they will not come. We hear them saying, There's no
danger; tomorrow shall be as this day and much more abundant; no need of
being disturbed. We must needs attend to farms and merchandise and the things
of this life, lest we lose worldly interests, and become poor and suffer
want. They forget that He who careth for the little sparrows and clotheth the
lilies of the field, careth for the humble, trusting soul, and will guide and
direct all those who are ready to do His will, and bestow upon His dear
children such things as they need. To all who through patience and
perseverance overcome, He hath promised to give a crown of never fading
glory, a robe of righteousness, and an entrance into the beautiful city of
our God. {1SAT 6.3}
This same King is sending forth His servants today. He is inviting His
guests, saying, "Come, for all things are now ready." The Lord of
the marriage -7- is soon coming: behold, He is at the door. Delay not to open the
door, lest He turn away from receiving you and you
enter not into the marriage feast. Open the door and receive the Master, that you may enter into the mansions of
everlasting rest and never fading glory prepared for all those that love Him.
Who will make ready for the coming of Him who hath said, "Behold, I come
quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give to every man according as his work
shall be" [Rev. 22:12]. {1SAT 6.4}
If we neglect our spiritual interests, neglect to offer up spiritual
sacrifices acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable duty, we become
entangled with the trifling cares of this life. If we even once omit our
daily duty of calling upon God for His divine aid, His care and protection,
we lose one day's enjoyment. We have not the sweet, melting influence of
God's Holy Spirit attending us through the day, but we feel cast down and
easily discouraged. The enemy of souls is ready to take advantage [of us] and
often does, bringing us into captivity and sin. {1SAT 7.1}
We may sometimes be cumbered about much serving, like Martha; but how
much more commendable was the act of Mary, who sat and listened to the
teachings of Jesus. He says, "Martha, thou art careful and troubled
about many things: but . . . . Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall
not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:41, 42). {1SAT 7.2}
How many times the things of this vain, deceitful world come between
us and our eternal interests! Temporal things spring up within our hearts and
choke those things which are spiritual. We permit the enemy of righteousness
to persuade us that we should attend to the things of this life. We now and
then neglect greater duties lest we suffer want. If we faithfully entreat God
to -8- give us strength and to perform
temporal duties, and at the same time to give us grace and wisdom to overcome
evil; if we have our hopes centered above and our conversation in heaven,
whence we look for the Son of man who has bidden to the marriage all who will
come: who has gone up on high to prepare mansions for all those who love and
keep His sayings, and has told us He is coming to receive us, we may enter in
to the wedding feast with Him, that where He is there we may be also. If we
turn away from those calls and invitations, what will be the consequence?
{1SAT 7.3}
In the 13th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, 46th verse, we find
that if we put God's work from us, and judge ourselves unworthy of
everlasting life, we have no reason to expect an entrance into the kingdom.
The 24th verse of the 14th chapter of Luke informs us that "none of
those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper." {1SAT 8.1}
The great eternal Father has prepared a marriage feast for His Son.
Will we give heed to His servants who have been and are being sent forth to
proclaim unto us the solemn invitation? Or shall we make light of it? Oh, why
refuse to make ready for the marriage of the Son of God? There is room for
all who will accept the invitation. None can say [that] those things were not
duly represented. Remember, when the good man returns, those who are ready
will go in to the feast and the door will be shut, and there will be no further
entrance, for we read that when "the master of the house is risen up,
and hath shut to the door" (Luke 13:25), then those who would find
admittance will hear the answer, "I know you not.
. . ; depart from Me." {1SAT 8.2}
May we heed well the solemn warning and make ready to enter into the
wedding, that His house may be filled. God's Word informs us, "Blessed
are they that do His commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the
city" (Rev. 22:14). May we be found faithful, and give diligence to our
calling, and possess the promised reward of the faithful, is my prayer.--Ms
8, 1874. (MR 900.56) {1SAT 8.3} End Matthew 22 Parable from Sermon
and Talks Probation Closes on a Generational
Basis Jeremiah
11:9-15 teaches the clear fact that God’s people, at the very least may
commit unpardonable sin on a generational level even before any general
probation ceases. God said not to even pray for that generation of Jews. They
committed unpardonable sin, and the omega of apostasy new movement SDA cult,
1SM 204-5, calling itself the SDA church militant, is not a church at all
because God’s presence has been removed. It is now a cult of the Synagogue of
Satan. There is absolutely no benefit to such a church whatsoever, but there
are implicit dangers— ·
Those who unite with the corrupt cannot
become and/or remain pure because of the constant evil influence. ·
It is impossible for the wheat to mature for
the harvest in such an environment. ·
The leaders and those who support and defend
them will not tolerate light and truth. ·
Those who unite with the corrupt wilfully,
knowingly, are corporately responsible for the apostasy of the corrupt. ·
All of the above are the reasons for every
separation that has ever occurred and there has been a separation in every
succeeding generation for only ONE of the above requisites given in Desire of Ages, 232, leaders not
tolerating light. Laval
Picard ignores all these truths of God’s Word and the SOP, and instructs
Adventists who have heard his message of partial righteousness by faith that
they can remain in an apostate church until some nebulous time in the future
when the persecution gets worse. “The convocations of the church, as in
camp meetings, the assemblies of the
home church, and all occasions where there is personal labor for souls,
are God's appointed opportunities for giving the early and the latter
rain.”--TM 508 (1897). {LDE 188.1}
“The time of trouble has already begun. We hear continually of riots
and accidents, of murders and robberies. Human life is no longer safe unless
under the protection of God. God's servants must not be surprised that they
meet with great difficulties and persecution at this time. In His day, the
world's Redeemer, the Son of God, was shamefully treated by the people He
came to bless. He had to go from city to city to ensure His safety, and this
persecution followed Him until His work on earth was accomplished.” {21MR
101.5} Is the Bride of Christ Prepared
BEFORE the call to the Fallen Churches and the World Another
serious error of Laval Picard is that the bride of Christ is not chosen and
prepared before the awakening of the 10 virgins--the Loud Cry to the world.
In Christ’s Objects Lessons, p. 406,
it says that it is the voice of God and the bride that awakens the ten
virgins and Matthew 25:5 says that all 10 virgins
slept. The bride gives the awakening cry. She is called by God BEFORE the
Loud Cry begins. She constitutes the True Reformers called directly by God: "Characteristics
of True Reformers.--Here are given the characteristics of those who shall be
reformers, who will bear the banner of the third angel's message, those who
avow themselves God's commandment-keeping people, and who honor God, and are
earnestly engaged, in the sight of all the universe, in building up the old
waste places. Who is it that calls
them, The repairers of the breach, The
restorers of paths to dwell in? It
is God. Their names are registered [written--Heb. 12:22, 23] in
heaven as reformers, restorers, as raising the foundations of many
generations." E. G. White, SDA
Bible Commentary, Vol. 4, 1151. In the
very time in which we live, the Lord has called His people and has
given them a message to bear. He has called them to expose the wickedness of
the man of sin who has made the Sunday law a distinctive power, who has
thought to change times and laws, and to oppress the people of God who stand
firmly to honor Him by keeping the only true Sabbath, the Sabbath creation, as
holy unto the Lord. --Testimonies to
Ministers, pp. 117, 118. {Ev 705.2} There is
to be "first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the
ear." There must be a constant development of Christian virtue, a constant advancement in Christian experience.
This we should seek with intensity of desire, that we may adorn the
doctrine of Christ our Saviour. {RH, March 2, 1897 par. 3} Many have in a great measure failed to
receive the former rain. They have not obtained all the benefits that God has
thus provided for them. They expect that the lack will be supplied by the
latter rain. When the richest abundance of grace shall be bestowed, they
intend to open their hearts to receive it. They are making a terrible
mistake. The work that God has begun
in the human heart in giving his light and knowledge,
must be continually going forward. Every individual must realize his own
necessity. The heart must be emptied of every defilement,
and cleansed for the indwelling of the Spirit. It was by the confession and forsaking of sin, by earnest prayer and
consecration of themselves to God, that the early
disciples prepared for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of
Pentecost. The same work, only in
greater degree, must be done now. Then the human agent had only to ask
for the blessing, and wait for the Lord to perfect the work concerning him.
It is God who began the work, and he will finish his work, making man
complete in Jesus Christ. But there must be no neglect of the grace
represented by the former rain. Only
those who are living up to the light they have, will
receive greater light. Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification
of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of
the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around
us, but we shall not discern or receive it. {RH, March 2, 1897 par. 4} The Holy
Spirit is already falling on hearts all around us, but most do not discern or
receive it. They will not be prepared to recognize or receive greater
manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. “At
no point in our experience can we dispense with the assistance of that which
enables us to make the first start. The
blessings received under the former rain are needful to us to the end.
Yet these alone will not suffice. While we cherish the blessing of the early
rain, we must not, on the other hand, lose sight of the fact that without the
latter rain, to fill out the ears and ripen the grain, the harvest will not
be ready for the sickle, and the labor of the sower will have been in vain.
Divine grace is needed at the beginning, divine grace at every step of
advance, and divine grace alone can complete the work. There is no place for
us to rest in a careless attitude. We must never forget the warnings of
Christ, "Watch unto prayer," "Watch and pray always." A
connection with the divine agency every moment is essential to our progress. We may have had a measure of the Spirit
of God, but by prayer and faith we are continually to seek more of the
Spirit. It will never do to cease our efforts. If we do not progress, if
we do not place ourselves in an attitude to receive both the former and the
latter rain, we shall lose our souls, and the responsibility will lie at our
own door. {RH, March 2, 1897 par. 5} Persecution—Why
There is None! What Causes it? Read what
Ellen White has to say about persecution and why there is none! Conclusion I am not saying
that Laval Picard is a Jesuit. I will leave judgment to God, but Laval is
highly secretive, as Jesuit would be. He will tell no one how he makes a
living. He claims that he does not attend any SDA church and that he has not
entered one for years. This causes wonderment as to whether or not he is a
Jesuit in our midsts. Apparently, he is not
married. He lives alone in celibacy
Whether or not Laval Picard is a Jesuit,
there could be no more clever and subtle a ruse invented by Satan himself
than to pretend to teach the solemn subject of Righteousness by faith in
Christ and His Merits, while teaching out of the other side of the mouth that
it is knowingly, wilfully okay to corporately violate the first and second
angel’s messages and the Midnight Cry by remaining in a church that is so
engaged. That is the deception of all deceptions!
Sadly, there are SDA preachers who have
said publicly that they will never teach the three angel’s messages because
they are unpopular. Yes, it is those messages that cause persecution. It is
the message that we must come out of all churches that violate those messages
that is unpopular and causes persecution.
Laval has vowed to my publicly that we will
never see eye to eye and I think the evidence demonstrates the reasons he is
right!
God bless all
