It isn't vial. Just plain isn't true. None of it makes me puke---all of it makes me angry. If our prophetess had ever said anything such as we are to be thankful to Satan for the fall and for us having children, that God was human before becoming a God and so will we, that God demands men to take plural wives under penalty of the first wife's death if she doesn't comply, that Jesus is a brother to Christ instead of His creator, that Jesus did not create everything and what He did create was out of existing matter, that only those men who have these wives and kept all the commandments will have their own planet to populate and that he then has to save those children as Jesus Himself did, that…….I would not be an SDA!!!
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Thankful to satan for the fall - never said that once. God was the architect of the creation of man, and knew that Adam would fall. satan simply and unwittingly beguiled Eve into partaking of the forbidden fruit, which began the physical process of the fall. It was in this state that they recongized they were naked and started to feel the affects of the fall, which lead to the pro-creation of children. No children being present before the fall, they were innocent and did not even understand that they were naked, so no physical production of children before the fall.
God was a human before becoming God - Jesus was human before becoming completely God.
God demands men to take plural wives under penalty of death if wife does not comply -
God was not going to put Emma to death. When God said she would be destroyed, he meant that she would not be saved in His kingdom, which is other words for being destroyed. For God to use the word "destroyed", meant he was not kidding around. He was angry with JS for delaying his attemp to commit himself and other church leaders to this doctrine because of the fall-out he felf would happen. So he too was threatened to hasten his compliance. They both did comply, but Emma was always irritated by the doctrine. I can understand why.
Jesus is the brother of satan - Is it more difficult to say Jesus is your brother, or to say Jesus is the brother of satan? Which is more difficult. Well as it turns out they are the same. So read John 20:17 again and again and again. Jesus tells us himself, that his Father is also our Father. That makes us brothers to Jesus, Right? Jesus also tells us that his Father is also his God, and he says that his God is our God. So in a double stamping of clearity. Jesus's Father and God, is our Father and God too. We are brothers.
That means that God is also the Father of satan. Therefore satan is our brother and is Jesus's brother too. A little complicated, but with a little study and some common sense, it comes to you over time.
What you have to remember about satan, the scholars have said over the centuries is that at one point in time, lucifer/satan was second only to Jesus next to God the Father. You would have been proud to be called the brother or sister of satan. You have to remember this time. All you remember is now, and it is not a proud time to be a brother or sister to satan.
Jesus did not create everything, and what he did create he created it out of existing matter - God the Father created everything spiritually in heaven, Genesis 1, before it was naturally created on the earth by his Son Jesus Christ Genesis 2. Jesus did create everything (all) that was created, including the earth, and everything above and below and to the sides.
The word "create" does not mean create something out of nothing. That concept was added 300 years after Christ to somehow boost the greatness of God. You can test yourself by trying to find out which day God created water, you will not find it, because the water existed before the 6 days of creation. So did the deformed earth. Which day did God create the earth? It does say, In the beginning God created the earth and the heavens. And we find, sure enough, God created the heavens in the 3rd day. But which day does it say he created the earth or the water on the earth? You will not find it, because they already existed, and God just used them to as part of the creation.
that only those men who have these wives and kept all the commandments will have their own planet to populate and that he then has to save those children as Jesus Himself did, that - First, plural wives are not essential to be eternally married and have eternal increase.
Second, we do not know exactly what it is like to be like God. It has been said that we will eventually create our own planet(s) and people those planets in the same way that God created and peolped our planet, and probably many planets just like ours. We have no idea how many planets God and His Son Jesus Christ have created. But I do know that if we can become like him and inherit all that he hath, one of the things we will inherit is the ability to create. So get used to it, and get involved, or be single and enjoy a beautiful surrounding but be stopped from further growth.
We have talked about all these things for years and you hold to what you think we believe since day one. It is quite different, but so what?
