Laodicea means...?

My thought's are that Laodiceans are rich, increased with goods and in need of nothing.... seems like a bad place to be with probation fast closing.

Doesn't sister White talk about most of the Adventists being shaken out beacause of their lukewarm position?

That was very good historical background you gave. It fits Adventist so well because were are the ones who think we have all the good and richness for salvation. Instead, we are going to fall and big.

The things say to them was horrible as it is to us. Naked with no clothes on is bad. We are walking around today as if we are clothes in righteousness but don't even have any clothes. What so sad, we either don't know it or refuse to know.

That where blindness comes in, we can't see! If you can't see truth then you are miserable. We are because we get angry with those of our faith who try to present something we think we know and we don't, we insult them.

We are wretched because we don't want to change because we have become so pigheaded, and stuck on the traditions and doctrines even when you see the truth in the Bible, we will not change!

We get angry when we hear the True SACRED NAMES like ELOHIM for all THREE have this SUBTITLE. YAHWEH, THE FATHER, YAHSHUA, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT. What makes it worse it is in the Commandments and the word vain is wrong. It should be don't call THE FATHER false pagan names only HIS REAL NAME.

EGW who we worship says she is not a prophet, and we can read it but still make excuses. She said she saw words that were changed in the Bible we don't want believe her either.

Then Paul versus YAHWEH. YAHWEH states very clearly that the Holy Convocations Days are which includes the Sabbath are HIS. How clear is that! We lie on Paul having the nerves to say his words is over YAHWEH'S, how is that! He never says what we said, he was telling them not to listen to the Pharisaic Hebrews who want to condemn them. Paul told them that the Mosaic laws were done away with. He said very clearly that these people have not right to judge them in obeying the Holy Days, the new moon and and the Seventh day Sabbath. The miserable folks don't want to walk narrow. All they do is talk about the Sabbath but don't really keep it.

That is why YAHSHUA said so clear if we want to be save, HE can give us eyesalve so we can really see the truth!!!!!

Blessings happy Sabbath!

Whatever Laodicea was and MIGHT BE nowadays. The most striking issue is the lack of JESUS, as He is standing outside and knocking... I silently wonder how that can come to pass...

"We will not change"? Be careful. That isn't in the message. Indeed, the strength of the language is to shock folks to consider that very thing. There are promises and privileges provided those who overcome. Note the word: overcome. That is both a possibility and His hope.

I don't get your concern about use of the tetragrammaton. Back in the day that was used with great reserve and even hush. Paul and Luke were sticklers for detail yet I have not seen it used in their writing. Did I miss it? I would not deny you using it. It just doesn't seem to be a matter to be urged on anyone.

"Worship" Ellen White? What does that look like? Does it preclude a right use of her work? God has always provided needed messengers - especially before key events. Yes, she gets abused - so do Paul, John ....

What I should have said is the mass majority in the church will not change. My comparison is in the days of Noah. In Noah's day there were more people on the earth then there are today. You are right so forgive me, I was wrong!

Israel was so wrong and here is why:

And Moses said to ELOHE, Behold, I shall come to the sons of Israel and say to them, THE ELOHE of your fathers has sent me to you; and they will say to me, What is HIS NAME? What shall I say to them? And ELOHE said to Moses, EHYAH ASHER EHYAH (I AM THAT I AM); and He said, You shall say this to the sons of Israel, EHYAH (I AM) has sent me to you. And ELOHE said to Moses again, You shall say this to the sons of Israel, YAHWEH, THE ELOHE of your fathers, THE ELOHE of Abraham, THE ELOHE of Isaac, and THE ELOHE of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is MY NAME FOREVER, and this is how I should be remembered from generation to generation. Ex 3:13-15

And be watchful in all that I have said to you. And you shall not call upon other mighty ones by name; it shall not be heard from your mouth. Ex 23:13

Who has gone up to Heaven, and come down? Who has gathered the wind in HIS FIST? Who has bound the waters in HIS garments? Who has made all the ends of the earth to rise? What is HIS NAME, and what is HIS SON'S NAME? Surely, you know. Pro 30:4

YAHWEH did not want us to use false names in place of HIS HOLY NAME. HIS SON came in HIS NAME.

For I say to you, In no way shall you see ME from now on, until you say, "Blessed is HE who comes in THE NAME of YAHWEH." (Psa. 118:26) Mat 23:39

I am come in MY FATHER'S NAME, and ye receive ME not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. John 5:43

We do worship her because we argue over what she is not if she is a prophet. She stated clearly what YAHSHUA told her what she was a messenger. The Bible last prophet was John who received the Revelation given to YAHSHUA from THE FATHER. Nothing was to be added or taken from the Bible. What Hiram Edison (who is not hardly spoken of), and EGW saw was already in the Bible, they did not add. What happen to them it was broken down for us to start understanding the truth. That is why she was not a prophetess, we do not need anymore. What was in the Bible is all we need and she was sending us back to it. Instead, today we don't read we just do we she said surface reading and take what leaders says. We should take THE HOLY SPIRIT as our leader who is THE COMFORTER for us all if we accept HIM!

Happy Sabbath and be bless!

I agree with you that one of the abuses of Mrs. White is that her work is ScriptureII. She seemed to be rather disgusted with that idea. She does point back to the Bible as our primary document. However, she also has strong words for those who lay aside the guidance provided through her. Satan has had another 2000 years to refine his craft. There are things we do well to learn from history covering the legs and feet of the image of Daniel 2. There is wisdom there not available to Daniel and John. I am reading Great Controversy again. The history and biographies are valuable to rehearse. The work of Ellen White rightly consulted can be very valuable in unraveling Satan's refinements. In our day we can go beyond EGW for how music, the theaters many of us own, and modern cultural pressures induce a hypnosis that slip stuff into our minds - subliminal seductions not available in her time.

Before every major turn in history God has provided a spokesperson. Seldom is that person well received. Those who DO receive their message are well off for it. Commencement of the special time of judgment in which we live and the Second Coming following it, in my mind, qualify for MAJOR turns in history, present and near future events. That someone like Mrs. White appears is to be expected. That she be in a swirl of discussion of authority is to be expected. I will not be surprised to see more contemporary God appointed messengers. It is right that everyone establish for themselves how such messengers and messages are to be valued and received. In fact, we (within my family) are reading some now.

Very well said, sir.

As the latter rain turns from a sprinkle to a full shower, there definitely will be divine manifestations of God's Spirit through His people.... buckle up folks it's about to get serious and so should we.

OldStudent said:

I agree with you that Paul gets abused also. I would like to better understand your thoughts about the Mosaic laws being done away with. Also what is meant by not judging people regarding the holy days? Is that to be taken that the holy days are not so holy any more? Or is it counsel about laying off on pushing "required" observance detail?

The Mosaic Laws had to deal with sacrifices of animals and meal offerings also, the priestly services. Many has this idea that sacrifices were done on certain days and this is not so they were done daily.
