EastCoastRemnant:
You stated:
So you beleive that Jesus will return twice? Once to destroy His enemies and once to redeem His people... am I correct in this?
SDA have always believed in the Second Advent in two parts, first redeeming the saints and destroying both the beast and the false prophet. The rest of the wicked is killed which is the second death where they remain while Satan is bound for a thousand years. After the millennium or the thousand years Satan his angels are loose. The New City of Jerusalem comes down out of Heaven along with the saints. The wicked awaken starting with Cain, Satan and his evil angels tries for the final time to tempt them. They attempt to take the New City but all will see their sins and why they are lost including Satan and his angels. They all will bow their down knees and confess that Yashua is Elohim but they will change bent on evil and try but fail. They all will perish in a lake of fire and the earth will be purge by fire of all sin.
After the judgment of the wicked dead had been finished, at the end of the one thousand years, Yashua left the city, and the saints and a train of the angelic host followed Him. Yashua descended upon a great mountain, which as soon as His feet touched it, parted asunder and became a mighty plain. Then we looked up and saw the great and beautiful city, with twelve foundations, and twelve gates, three on each side, and an angel at each gate. We cried out, "The city! the great city! it is coming down from Elohim out of heaven!" And it came down in all its splendor and dazzling glory and settled in the mighty plain which Yashua had prepared for it. EW 291
I have never indicated what you just stated if so show me!
I have just never met anyone else that believes as you do, so unless you are the new messenger from God, and this message you have spreads to the whole world, you'll have to excuse my skeptism.
Your skeptism is like the rabbis during Yashua day adding what was not said to make me look in error. You have not read the Scriptures or provided any for the ones you make claim to, yet you hold me in contempt because truth is straight and to the point. It takes what was once advocated to be truth and showing that it is not. It makes those who say they love Yahweh or those He have chosen to be demise and unloved because claiming yet many deny the power of the Holy Spirit.
I guess in the not to distant future we will start to see the Truth unfolding.... I'm not trying to be 'right' in my understanding, it is truly what my studies have lead me to, based on the Bible, historical account and pioneer wisdom given through the Holy Spirit.
The truth is unfolding now as we speak or discuss and where we differ is very simple if you will show in the Bible where it provides the Sunday Blue laws. I have shown you over and over Biblically that:
· The harlot rides the "scarlet" coloured beast/man
· The beast/man "that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition,"
· lamb like beast is the false prophet "saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast"/man,
· ten men will become "ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast"/man,
· These ten new kings "shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire,"
· Armageddon comes under the six vial and "is the battle of Elohim Almighty,"
· The beast/man and the ten new kings "will make war with the Lamb" after he first "shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people,"
· The beast/man "and the kings of the earth," with "their armies" will "gathered together to make war against," Yashua and His angels (not the battle of Elohim Almighty),
· The beast/man and the false prophet "both" will be "cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone,"
· "And the remnant" "all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
I have quoted from the texts of Scriptures that I previously provided so you cannot change what I said with false statements.
I understand that you don't believe the church fathers, past or present were/are right in what Adventism teaches. That is certainly your right, but you must recognize that the majority of Adventists believe the way the pioneers do.
Wrong again I have alway uplifted the spiritual pioneers of this Church but I will not stand up for those who stood for error like Uriah Smith and others. I have stood for EGW and misunderstood what someone was saying about her correctly. You brought that to my attention and I humbly apologized. What I have said firmly that she is not a prophetess as she herself stated including that Yashua told her what she was a messenger. I have also stated that the Church does not speak about Hiram Edison as they should or Bates and others but put EGW on a pedestal which is wrong!!!!!! What I have stated very clearly without remorse but firmly that the Church leaders are wrong as the rabbis were doing the days of Yashua. I have stated clearly that EGW made errors in her opinions but not in her visions. I have stated clearly that SDA is not the remnant but 144,000 will come out of her to finish reaping the great multitude of souls and both will be the remnant. I stand firm on the Feast of Yahweh because He said it and Paul did not change what He said.
In conclusion these are the things I stand on base on the Bible. I have asked you to show me proof in the Bible where I am in error you have not. I have even commented in another thread why you are unhappy that others cannot see what you tried to present. But I have never disregarded anything that you have stated and love and respect you as a friend. I will pray for you as I hope you will for me that truth will prevail.
Blessings,
