A.The Ultimate Authority As Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer, Lord and King of all creation (see Creation III), God alone is the source and ground of authority for the church. Yet our knowledge of God must be a knowledge from God, for only as He reveals Himself can He be known to His people...

VII.Church Authority If the primary duty of the church is to worship and glorify God (cf. Eph. 1:3, 5, 11–14), the first task it was given by the risen Christ is that of evangelism (Mark 16:15; Luke 24:45–47; Acts 1:8). The church is not merely a gathering of people who come together to...

I think this letter by Ellen White would certainly answer to the above stated objection. But there is more to say about this chapter in our church history, which I will leave to future posts. But even from this; it can be seen that Ellen White wanted to try to maintain unity in the church and so...

There are some who swear up and down that the Adventist Church mistreated Jones & Waggoner, and that Ellen White fully endorsed their message, and that we are in apostasy, because we "rejected" their message. Nothing could be further from the truth. For more details, please read next post.:)

Somehow, in the midst of the violent storms that hit our lives from time to time; the following poetry from the Bible is flooded with hope. May you read this, and also experience that same hope. Hope in God. Hope that is able to lift you out of that darkness. Hope, in believing that God has a...

Come Unto Me (based on Mat 11:28) Do hurts of this world; cares of your life Crush the heart’s hope; pierce like a knife? The Savior still speaks surely to thee: ‘If ye so labor, come unto Me.’ Families break up, by death do we part Temptations assault, sinking the heart. The Savior still...

Here, as we see, doctrines seem to have carried quite a bit of weight with the Apostle Paul. I can't help but wonder, just why that is? What is doctrine, and just how important is it/should it be, to Christians today? A lot of people I talk to about this seem to just want to sweep doctrines...

Here is my own rendition of the footprints poem. It reflects my own, personal experience with God. (1 John 1:1-3, Rev 12:11) One night I had a dream I dreamnt that I was walking along the beach with Jesus Across the sky flashed scenes from my entire life and for each scene; I noticed two...

here are some scriptures for support of personal testimony of your own experience with God:

In the next post; I will be doing an in-depth examination of John 1:1-3, 14, 18. It is so inspiring to do this study on the names of God. It really has blessed my walk with our Lord, and helped me to know Him better. (John 17:3) It is my hope & my prayer that as I post these things in this...

As human beings, or, as created beings; we can know that we are not God, because we had a beginning, and, therefore, we are not eternal. We are a part of creation, not the Creator. While we can forgive people for sinning against us personally, we have no authority to forgive other people of...

The Bible writers attribute to God certain qualities and titles that are shared by no other being. In the Bible, the very thing that establishes God as different in kind from all other creation, is this list of special, divine qualities and titles that are specific and unique, only to Him...

It is unfortunate that the Watchtower teaches their adherents that Jesus is not God. Instead, they mostly emphasize only the Scriptures that speak about His human ministry, or His human nature. Any Scriptures that appear to establish the divine nature of Jesus are either ignored in their...

One of the dominant themes of the entire Bible is Who Jesus Christ is. Jesus even said: (“You are searching the Scriptures, because you think that by means of them, you will have everlasting life; and these are the very ones that testify of Me.”). Jo.5:39. NWT. The importance of this is...

Jesus also said to the Pharisees: “Before Abraham was; I AM.” Jo.8:58. Other “I AM” statements of Jesus are found in the following texts: “I AM the bread of life:” Jo.6:35 “I AM he:” Jo.4:26 “I AM the Light of the world:” Jo.8:12 “I AM the door:” Jo.10:9 “I AM the good...

Many places in the Bible specifically mention Jesus as Jehovah, which means: “Jehovah is the Savior.” 1/ John the Baptist would prepare the way of Jehovah: Isa.40:3 - “Prepare ye the way of the Lord...” [“Jehovah,” or “the existing One”]. And as we can see; John the Baptist did...

Heb.1:1-2: As the Son of God, Jesus has the name of the Father. “God, who at sundry times, and in diverse manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, Whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds.”...

A little while ago; I had occasion to study with a Jehovah's Witness. We compared/contrasted, and closely examined this topic of "the name above all names. I would like to share a few of the notes I shared with him: Jesus: The Indispensable Man Acts 4:12 - “Neither is there salvation in any...

There is so much in a name. Names mean a lot in the Bible. The "name above all names" in the Bible is Jesus: A name does not just denote a certain word or title that we must call Jesus. Or God. It refers more to His character, and this is why Phil 2:11 says "to the glory of God the Father."...
