huge amounts of water under earth’s crust refutes evolution

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / March 12, 2018

Often in talking to Evolutionists, they like to pooh-pooh the idea that there is enough water on this planet to ever cover the whole earth. I always ask them to take a globe, and think for a minute about what all that blue color means, as 71% of the earth is covered with water. Also, the mountains on the earth would fit comfortably in the deepest trenches in the oceans.

I’ve read somewhere that if you flattened out all the mountains on the land, it would just take around 100 feet (meters?) of water to cover 100% of the planet.

Anyway, we can read in inspired writings that there were jets of water that came out of the earth at the time of Noah’s Flood. They had tremendous force, and hurled huge rocks high up into the air. Personally, I think they might have even created comets and blasted pockmarks on the moon etc., but am not sure about that at all, as 95% of the craters on the moon face earth.

So it is interesting to see that scientists are finding more and more clues that there are huge amounts of water far under the crust in places and forms that they thot couldn’t exist. Here is one science news article showing that ice was found in a diamond. They estimate the diamond came from 500 miles or so down (that’s highly speculative), and it includes ice with a new atomic structure, so they have named it Ice-VII. Seems our ordinary ice is now called Ice-I – ha!

Another article says

A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The finding could help explain where Earth’s seas came from.

SDA layperson forbidden to hold Bible study in condo commons area in Florida

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / March 11, 2018

It’s getting stranger and stranger in America. Now condominium associations are trying to forbid residents from using the commons area for Bible studies or play religious songs on the organ. Seems that playing poker and having jazz is just fine, but not if it is religious.

Now, a SDA lay minister lady is taking them to court: Condo Bans Senior Citizen Bible Study, Christian Music
Let’s pray that she will win this case for freedom.

new study says saturated fats are ok

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / February 11, 2018

In the never-ending game of scientists reversing themselves (often at the behest of those with the most money), a large, new study says that saturated fats really are OK after all, and all the info over the last 40 years is basically, well, bollocks.

A study just published in the Annals of Internal Medicine made waves through the mainstream media this week. In a stunning meta-analysis of the relationship between dietary fats and heart disease that included over 600,000 people, the researchers came to the following conclusion:

“Current evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats.”

This conclusion flies in direct contrast to the USDA dietary guidelines, which recommend polyunsaturated fats (think corn and soybean oils) as healthy, and saturated fats as unhealthy (think dairy, animal fat, and coconut oil) in terms of cardiovascular health.

This info is widely available on the web, but I copied it from this site: http://www.healthstartsinthekitchen.com/2014/03/23/big-pharma-study-usda-dietary-guidelines-fats-wrong/ What I like about this particular article, is that they show that coconut oil, while being high in saturated fat, so demonized for many years by doctors and scientists, is actually a healthy product, which should be obvious to anyone who has ever travelled to the islands in the South Pacific where coconuts make up a large part of the diet there.

The best advice is to avoid totally unhealthy things that God has warned us of, and to take in moderation even good things, and to have healthy skepticism towards any “scientist” who tells us stuff.

Seventh-day Adventists should believe words in Bible are from God

Leave a Comment / christian study / February 11, 2018

In the Spirit of Prophecy (Ellen White’s writings), there are at least 6 instances where it says the exact phrase: “inspired words”, and “words inspired of God” is used once. Thus we see the lone dissenting quote “It is not the words of the Bible that are inspired, but the men that were inspired.” in 1Selected Messages p. 21 is spurious.

The Bible (or portions of it) are said of in the SOP: “The scribes of God wrote as they were dictated by the Holy Spirit, having no control of the work themselves.” and: “He who is the father of lies, blinds and deceives the world by sending his angels forth to speak for the apostles, and make it appear that they contradict what they wrote when on earth, which was dictated by the Holy Ghost.”

Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary says:
DICTATE, verb transitive [Latin , to speak.]

1. To tell with authority; to deliver, as an order, command, or direction; as, what God has dictated, it is our duty to believe.

2. To order or instruct what is to be said or written; as, a general dictates orders to his troops.

3. To suggest; to admonish; to direct by impulse on the mind. We say, the spirit of God dictated the messages of the prophets to Israel. Conscience often dictates to men the rules by which they are to govern their conduct.

Of course the Bible itself calls the words in it the “words of God” 6 times. Many times it says “your words”, and “my words” referring to God’s words written in it.

This is basically what it seems to boil down to:
“The effect of inspiration was to move the authors so as to produce the words God wanted. In this view the human writers’ individual backgrounds, personal traits, and literary styles were authentically theirs, but had been providentially prepared by God for use as his instrument in producing Scripture”.

The Holy Bible is not only infallible, but inerrant. It is not only “The Word of God”, but “The Words of God”. It is NOT our uncles’ words, but God’s words, as written by our uncles.

Revelation 13 WILL have a final, FUTURE fulfillment

Leave a Comment / christian study / February 6, 2018

Many of my fellow Seventh-day Adventists believe Uriah Smith’s interpretations of the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation, over what the words themselves say. They often say that putting any of it in the future is “Futurism”, and roundly denounce it. The end result, is that we have a church full of people who think most everything happened in the past, and we are just waiting for the Sunday Law, 7 last plagues, and Jesus’ return in the clouds. And just as the Jews were destroyed for misinterpreting the prophecies for their day, so many of us will be destroyed too, as it is obvious that many things are still to take place before the Great Controversy is ended.

The other day I found this quote of Ellen White, showing clearly that Revelation 13:4-18 will have a final FUTURE fulfillment. Please note that the Revelation quote is as found in the original.

In the last days Satan will appear as an angel of light, with great power and heavenly glory, and claim to be the Lord of the whole earth. He will declare that the Sabbath has been changed from the seventh to the first day of the week; and as lord of the first day of the week he will present this spurious sabbath as a test of loyalty to him. Then will take place the final fulfillment of the Revelator’s prophecy.
.

Revelation 13:4-18 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
. If any man have an ear, let him hear.
. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
.

In connection with this scripture, the entire fourteenth chapter of Revelation should be studied much by God’s people. Verses nine to eleven bring to view the special message of warning against worshiping the beast and his image, and receiving his mark in the forehead or in the hand. This warning is to be given to the world by those who are mentioned in the twelfth verse as keeping “the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”

Manuscript Releases Vol.19, No.1403 1902 Ellen White

This makes it VERY CLEAR that there is a 42 month time period at the end, when the false church will basically rule the whole world. Let’s prepare and warn others now!

If any man have an ear, let him hear!!!

The Roman Catholic Church was NOT built on Peter

2 Comments / christian study / February 6, 2018

In talking with Roman Catholics, it invariably comes up that they believe their church was started by Jesus saying he would build his church on Peter. That is mistaken, as the following texts show, with definitions of some Greek words included.

Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, G4074 and upon this rock G4073 I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Romans 9:33
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock G4073 of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

1Corinthians 10:4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock G4073 that followed them: and that Rock G4073 was Christ.

G4074 Petros
Used 162 times.
Means “a rock or a stone”

G4073 Petra
Used 16 times.
Means “a rock, cliff or ledge”

So we see that Peter is not the rock that Christ will build his church, but Christ is saying he will build his church on himself. Let’s call on all Catholics to repent, and follow Jesus, whose church will always: keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Martin Weber, Adventist “scholar” errors on Ellen White and SDA doctrines

1 Comment / sigh and cry / December 4, 2017

Martin Weber has put up his “95 Theses for Seventh-day Adventists” up on the web. He asked people to read it, so I took a look. I got to about #30 before I couldn’t take any more of his dissing Ellen White and liberal mishmash that waters down our distinctive SDA doctrines, so just skimmed the rest. While I do not write a blog post for everyone dissing Ellen White, what prompted me in this case, is that this man was high up in the General Conference of SDAs!

From his web site on his bio:

Retired from four decades of service for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Martin Weber has taught pastors and ministerial leaders on six continents. While a member of the global SDA Ministerial Association, he was an associate editor of Ministry magazine and supervised its outreach to non-SDA clergy. He served on the General Conference Executive Committee and the President’s Council from 1991 to 1995…. He earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from a Baptist seminary…. You can read about their escape from cult-like SDA legalism by clicking on the “My Story” button.

So we see that he was a high-ranking officer in the SDA Church who got his DMin from Babylon (so why was he ever put in a high-up position of responsibility in God’s church???) Anyway, we can see that he is against “legalism” from his bio.

Thesis #1 has: “there is no need to enthrone Ellen White as lord over the Bible.”
Hmmm, while agreed, I’ve never met a believer in Ellen White’s writings who put her over the Bible. This is always a fake shot by those who don’t like something about her.

#3 “SDA doctrine is grace-based, yet we typically present truth in the context of law. We do this in ignorance that “the law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17)”
We are only on number 3, and already we see that he is dissing the law of Moses.

#4 “Adventist pioneers were woefully deficient in grasping the gospel; it is miraculous evidence of God’s leading that their body of beliefs, born and bred in legalism, can now optimally showcase His grace.”
It is unescapeable now – he is upset with our distinctive SDA doctrines, and is taking pot shots at them.

To avoid boring you, I will just quote/paraphrase some of the more egregious errors: Christ adopted us all at his resurrection. Having communion with non-SDAs is great. “Christian living is not an imitation of Christ’s example (a medieval myth)” “experiencing unity while celebrating diversity of gender, ethnicity, culture, personality and age.” etc. etc.

#77. Ellen White, particularly in her early writings, suffered much of the same legalism as her fellow pioneers. For decades her books and testimonies were deficient in such Christian fundamentals as the personhood of the Holy Spirit and the eternal pre-existence of Jesus.
Wow! Somebody as high up in the SDA Church as Martin Weber was, and saying these terrible words against God’s messenger – it beggars belief that anyone in God’s remnant church would employ him, as he is just tearing down what God has built up.

#78. Anyone who insists that Ellen White’s earlier writings are as theologically orthodox or useful as her later writings is either ignorant or intellectually dishonest.
I am “ignorant” or “intellectually dishonest”. And I will stand on that position.

Will anyone else join me in showing love and reverence for God’s words that he gave his humble messenger – Ellen White?

Please repent, Martin Weber, and turn back to Jesus.

vending machines to dispense free food for homeless

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / November 29, 2017

This news:
Vending machines for homeless in U.K.
looks very good for the homeless.

Seems that they have to sign up for a card that they can then use 3 times a week to get free stuff from a vending machine. It’s not going to solve their homeless problem, but looks like it could be very useful in helping solve some of their daily life problems.

Now I wish someone would find a way to help the homeless get a free, hot bath once a week….

Many Adventists don’t believe in 6 day Creation!

Leave a Comment / sigh and cry / October 22, 2017

It is entirely a sad day in God’s remnant church, when many of our own members (Conservative members!) openly say that they believe that there was matter here before God started creating this earth. It just boggles the mind that anyone could name the name “Seventh-day Adventist”, and still believe Satan’s lie that God didn’t make everything in 6 days and rest the 7th.

Here are some comments from fellow “Conservative” SDAs:

And I will continue to believe that the Bible is careful with words. God created the Heaven and Earth and the Seas in those six days, just as the fourth commandment indicates. But the land and the waters that He formed into those latter two, and named, were there from the beginning of that week. When He created them, for surely He did, we are not told.

At the beginning of the creation week the Earth was without form and void. Clearly there was something here already, a barren formless void much like Mars. Jeremiah says the Earth again Will be without form and void. Does that mean the planet will cease to exist aka a death star attack? Not only that but he says the Heavens will no light. Perhaps Genesis is written from the perspective of one on Earth and when God says Let there be light, He isn’t creating the Sun ex nihilo but making it visible to an observer from Earth.

I believe the universe is as old as it looks, since God is eternal, and there is no evidence that He did not create worlds and stars billions of years before He created the earth.

Please note that these 3 quotes are all from different authors, and all are generally strong “Conservative” SDAs on most other subjects!!!
Let’s believe God when he says: Exodus 20:11

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Ellen White’s letter to Smith and Amadon saying they are controlled by evil angels!

Leave a Comment / christian study / October 7, 2017

Letter 3, 1869

To: Smith, Brother; Amadon, Brother

Greenville, Michigan

April 23, 1869

Portions of this letter are published in 5MR 164-168; 2Bio 267-268.

Dear Brethren Smith and Amadon:

I will write to you a faint expression of my feelings at this time as I review the past. Lt3-1869.1

At the camp meeting at Wright, the Lord was with His people. There solemn pledges were made by the brethren of Battle Creek that they would stand by us, and not permit burdens to come upon us. My husband has been so ready to receive any manifestation of confidence and love from those in Battle Creek, and to blot out of his memory the things which transpired in the past (which were cruelly wrong upon the part of those from whom we ought to expect better things), that he was ready to believe all things and to hope all things. With his heart all cheered and softened by the bright view he had of the future, he consented to locate in Battle Creek, and thus comply with the earnest invitation of his brethren and sisters. He fully believed that the lessons of the past had not been learned in vain. Lt3-1869.2

I was reluctant to locate in Battle Creek. I had, as it were, fled to Greenville for quietude of mind and freedom from the harassing trials brought upon us unnecessarily by those who should have stood by us. I had never felt the least dissatisfaction with my home at Greenville. I needed a good copyist, and help that could do my sewing and save me from embarrassment in that line. The Lord blessed us in coming to this place. Lt3-1869.3

I pled with my husband not to comply with the wishes of our brethren in regard to locating in Battle Creek until we should have clear light from God that it was His will that we should move from this place. My husband urged that our trials in Battle Creek were over, and that we could in the hands of God be a blessing to the Office, Institute and church. Lt3-1869.4

When I went to look at the site for the house, I felt as though going to a funeral. I finally put these feelings away, for I saw that they made my husband very unhappy. I yielded my objections, and yet I felt fearful that the burdens we would have to bear in Battle Creek would be too heavy, that my husband could not let alone the business and cares of the Office, and that he would come down again through over-labor, as he had before done. I had suffered so much and seen how little knowledge even those of experience had of the mind and will of God concerning us, while we were passing through the heaviest trials we ever bore, that I did not feel like placing ourselves where there was the least possibility of the same breakdown, fearing the same heartless, cruel work would be acted over again. I am frank to say, I could not feel so cheerful and happy as did my husband to get again among our brethren at Battle Creek. Lt3-1869.5

Changes made to Ellen White’s books – What to do?

2 Comments / christian study / September 13, 2017

The following is what I wrote for someone who said that they didn’t just take other SDAs word for it, but studied the Spirit of Prophecy books for themselves, and had read all the Testimonies etc. They said all the common things I’ve heard – that the later books were better, that Uriah Smith was great, that the words are not so important as they aren’t from God etc.
————
That is great that you have delved into many of the books that are pillars of our Seventh-day Adventist faith. That is what a good Berean should to. 🙂
.
I wonder if you have read all 33 volumes of “Testimony for the Church”? If so, I wonder what you thot when you found that several testimonies addressed to Uriah Smith were cut up or taken completely out of the 9 volume “Testimonies to the Church”?

And regarding other writings:
1. What did you think about the 1888GC saying that the Roman Catholic Church was not part of Babylon, but the 1911 edition says it is?
2. What did you think about the 1884GC saying that Christ had “warned his disciples”, but the 1888 version says he “warned the world”?
3. What did you think about many places in the 1888GC being a nearly word-for-word copy of Uriah Smith’s books?
4. What did you think of Uriah Smith forming a committee of 5 people to “remove the imperfections” in Ellen White’s books?
5. What did you think of Ellen White’s writing that no one had done more to harm her work than Uriah Smith in the 1890-1892 time frame?
6. What did you think about the Review and Herald not publishing Steps to Christ, so Ellen White had to get Fleming Revell to print it?
7. What did you think about the first chapter in the current Steps to Christ not being in the original at all, and only being put in to secure copyrights in the U.K.?
8. What did you think about Ellen White’s vision where she saw fellow SDAs from Battle Creek marching around her home in a Catholic-like procession, saying “The goods in this house are proscribed?
9. What did you think about Selected Messages and the Preface to 1888/1911GC saying basically that the words in the Bible are not inspired (not God’s words), when that goes against everything in the Bible regarding inspiration, and when Ellen White herself used the phrase “inspired words” 6 times, and “God’s words at least once?
10. What did you think about the quote that says Ellen White used her own words except where the angel told her, which she always put in quote marks, then checked the books to see that she almost never put what the angel told her in quote marks?
11. What did you think about where it says “trumpet after trumpet” is yet to sound, and compare that to the idea that we are currently in the time of the 7th Trumpet?
12. What did you think about the idea that Ellen White wrote the later Great Controversy books for evangelism purposes for the world because the earlier ones were too strong and just for SDAs, when she wrote that she wished all her books would be published, and that we have records that the 1884 Great Controversy sold like hotcakes, even tho Uriah Smith tried to keep in on the shelves, and pushed Bible Readings for the Home instead?
——————
UPDATE:
The person I wrote this to gave a sadly typical response, saying that I was probably just referring to the “Special Testimonies”, and that Uriah Smith was led of God, and that I shouldn’t be picking at molehills……. That’s what happens when people don’t believe the words are from God.

Progressives try to change “love” into “hate”, and “hate” into “love”

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / August 20, 2017

Seems the Progressives are blowing their tops again. To me, they won the redefinition war over “love” to mean “whatever perversion I feel like doing”, as the Conservatives pretty much went along with believing in “unconditional love” (whatever that is). So now their hate is turned toward changing the definition of “hate” to mean “anyone who judges our actions as wrong”. When they win this war (and they will), it will be time for God to work.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Psalm 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.

Are vegetarians really more depressed?

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / August 13, 2017

Vegetarians Are Nearly Twice As Likely To Be Depressed As Meat-Eaters, Study Finds

This is the title of a recent article by CBS news in Philadelphia. Quoting:

The 350 committed vegetarians who participated in the study had a higher average depression score when compared to the meat-eaters, according to the study, which was published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/08/09/vegetarian-depression-meat-study/

The vegetarians’ diet tended to feature lower vitamin B12 consumption, as well as greater intake of nuts that contain omega-6 fatty acids, which have been linked with an increased risk of mental health problems.

Hmmmm, while I agree that lower B12 levels might have something to do with moods, my take on this issue is that most vegetarians (in advanced countries anyway) are vegetarian by choice. In other words, they think more about what goes into their body than most non-vegetarians. Most likely, they are also more thoughtful about other things in life, which could really make one go crazy seeing all the madness swirling around the world today.

Yes, I’m vegetarian, for reasons of health, religion, and compassion. I love animals – so I don’t want to kill them for food unless I have to. We should be preparing for the heavenly kingdom where nothing will die, and God has told us thru Ellen White that the 144,000 will do away with meat eating. There are many, many studies showing that a vegetarian diet not only increases longevity, but also general health.

It is true, however, that we shouldn’t become obsessed with our food. I know several vegans who have turned their noses up at me because I eat eggs and yogurt once in a while. Even if someone eats meat, we shouldn’t look down on them, but we should be faithful in telling them they need to work towards stopping it. Now if they are eating unclean foods like shrimp or pork, then we must show them straightly from God’s words that they must stop.

Any vegetarians reading this – Do you feel depressed?

Youtube to censor religious content

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / August 3, 2017

Evil Google announced yesterday that they are going to take action against videos with “controversial religious content”. Their system is set up so that anyone who doesn’t like your video can flag it, and make it so that it never appears in a list of results when searched for. This is equivalent to saying, “You can use our yard, but if someone doesn’t like you, you have to go way out in the back behind the woodshed and stay where no one can see you”.

We’ll soon be applying tougher treatment to videos that aren’t illegal but have been flagged by users as potential violations of our policies on hate speech and violent extremism. If we find that these videos don’t violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state. The videos will remain on YouTube behind an interstitial, won’t be recommended, won’t be monetized, and won’t have key features including comments, suggested videos, and likes. We’ll begin to roll this new treatment out to videos on desktop versions of YouTube in the coming weeks, and will bring it to mobile experiences soon thereafter.

Balaam’s donkey speaks the words of God

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / July 19, 2017

A new video I uploaded yesterday shows, in a funny way, how Balaam’s donkey teaches so-called theologians, how the words in the Bible are from God. With many of my fellow Seventh-day Adventists holding the belief that only the ideas in the Bible and Ellen White’s books are from God, this little donkey gives a powerful testimony that the words themselves are from God.

Let’s believe ALL the words in the Bible and SOP are from God. 🙂

NKJV
Numbers 22:28-31
Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”
And Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!”
So the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever disposed to do this to you?” And he said, “No.”
Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face.
This is how the story really happened, according to the Bible, but sadly, most of my fellow Seventh-day Adventists don’t believe the words in the Bible are from God. In Review and Herald, Nov.27, 1883, Willie White, Uriah Smith, J.H. Waggoner, S.N. Haskell, and George Butler stated that they believe only the IDEAS are from God, while the WORDS are chosen by the humans who wrote the Bible. Guess they forgot about this donkey speaking, or maybe they think the story really went like this:
Then the LORD gave some ideas to the donkey, and she parsed them, picked out her own words in her own tongue, and said: “Hee Haw! Eee Yore!”
And Balaam said to the donkey, “I know those words aren’t from God, so give me some time to consult with my church leaders and let the Donkeyese scholars interpret them for me and I’ll get back with you on it.”
COME ON! All fellow SDAs, let’s believe Jesus when he says: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God”.
——————- end of video

In the same Nov. 27, 1883 Review and Herald, there is an article about the Bible from: “A lecture by H. L. Hastings, before the Massachusetts annual convention of Y. M. C. A. Associations, at Spencer, October 13, 1881”. He wrote “The Great Controversy Between God and Man” in 1858. He was not SDA.
In it, it says:
“But when the Almighty writes a man’s life, he tells the truth about him’; and there are not many who would want their lives printed if the Almighty wrote them.”
“we have proof that one omniscient Mind dictated that book”,
“faithful words of the living God”,
——————-

All fellow SDAs, and anyone who formerly believed that the words in the Bible were not from God – let’s repent and resolve to follow ALL of God’s words.
