ONE GOD


1. Anyone who teaches the total exclusion of Jews from God’s plan and salvation is not of God because of Romans 11.

A. Ellen White excludes the Jews and portrays them only in a negative light; and omits, as if on purpose, Romans 10 and 11. 

2. Anyone who teaches dualism, God vs. Satan, is not yet reformed and therefore keeps on practicing a pagan form of Christianity.

B. Ellen White wrote: At the rst advent of Christ, Satan had brought man down from his original, exalted purity, and had dimmed the ne gold with sin. He had transformed the man, created to be a sovereign in Eden, to a slave in the earth, groaning under the curse of sin. – Uneducated in the knowledge of Scripture, which lacks the Hebraic understanding of the God of the Hebrews and the language of the Bible. (1. A.)

3. Anyone who does not consider this sentence: “You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews (John 4:22) is on a self-trip, for one has psychological difficulties with sharing.

C. Ellen White has appropriated the Ten Commandments as something to do, which one of them is, “Keep the Sabbath day holy.” The central meaning as to why the Sabbath Day is holy has to do with the distinguishing between something common and something holy. Sabbath speaks of the heavenly peace, where wars are not even possible; much less a plot, or a rebellion. Only peacemakers are called sons of God therefore contrary to the popular notions (borrowed from books like Watchers, Jubilee and the Book of Enoch etc.,) are fantastic and far from the truth. God’s angels act and abide in God’s perfect peace (Matthew 5:9).

Contrary to St. Augustine's ideas about the supposedly fallen angel Satan, which he took from Luke 10:18 it is the wrath of God that falls and IT does through Seraphs (flames, fire) or through Satan (2 Samuel 24:1 compare with 1 Chronicles 21:1. Read this book, Divinely Powerful Weapons of War).

Here it is clearly taught that the Devil and the other demons are spiritual or angelic creatures created by God in a state of innocence, and that they became evil by their own act.

As may be gathered from the language of the Lateran definition, the Devil and the other demons are but a part of the angelic creation, and their natural powers do not differ from those of the angels who remained faithful. Like the other angels, they are pure spiritual beings without any body, and in their original state they are endowed with supernatural grace and placed in a condition of probation. It was only by their fall that they became devils.

Angels have no free will they are completely subjected to God’s will and His will only. The absence of will has to do with the absence of physical bodies and their placement in a realm of time and space as this earth is. Therefore, only humans possess the free will, which is necessary to navigated, choose and decide.

If sin is found in heaven then what kind of heaven are we hoping for?

·       Anything based on self is not of God.
·       Anything that excludes God’s chosen is not of God.
·       Anything that condemns what God anointed is not of the God of peace.

For how can wars come down from the heaven where God’s peace that surpasses all understanding abides? (Philippians 4:7 & John 14:27 – It is not an earthly peace, but God’s peace).

The appearance of Nechash—(Hebrew word, a “shining being”), which has been erroneously interpreted as Satan the devil and the serpent (Christian theology)—has something to do with God’s omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence. Therefore, anyone postulating dualism still remains in paganism despite the label, Christian or otherwise.

All that the founder of the Seven Day Adventist Church writes is religious; a language similar to that of Joseph Smith the founder of the Mormon LDS Church.

Fragmented and isolated pieces of scripture should never support anyone's own ideas aimed at building a denomination. God is one, and all quoted verses must have the unifying elements, which point to the one God and thus make perfect sense.

The perfect sense is of the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, anything fragmented is seen as devious or unintelligent. Isolated quotations from the Bible rather support one’s own ideas; therefore are used subjectively and never objectively.

The love for God must be stronger than the love for self.
