My brother, I am Seventh-day Adventist and I can say that I fully appreciate your treatment of these topics. No emotion, no bias, no mudslinging, just the facts. No one can argue with the facts (even though some may try). You are very thorough in your research and I praise God for the clear presentation of beliefs. It has given me a moment for pause to ask more questions about the SDARM and do a deeper study since on the surface, it seems to align more with what I believe. God bless your ministry.

I'm not familiar with your pastor so I mean no offense, I only mean: learn to study on your own, with tools, and don't be afraid to disagree. Only God knows your heart, you owe reverence or allegiance to no man, only God. A Strong's Concordance is a wonderful tool for Bible study. Also The Companion Bible is a very good study Bible.

The 6th commandments says, Thou shalt not kill. It does not say, Thou shalt not slay. What if God decided to put sinners in hell fire for how long they rejected him before they died? So 120 years in hell for 120 years of unrepentant sins and 30 years in hell for 30 years of unrepentant sins. Charity never faileth but love can wax cold. The last time I checked only women can give birth and produce milk for each baby. A man can never exactly be a woman. It is sad that American culture and the world's culture at large have changed husbands working hard outside the house and women working hard inside the house until the children are raised. Please reach at least one soul each week with the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Let us get ready for the new earth. Stars are not that big and cannot be trillions of miles away because of Revelation 6:13. Stars are sources of light and help with seasons. If Judge Jesus is considered a foreign prince, would you defend the constitution or obey the word of God? Sodomy (homosexuality) is a deathstyle. Biology is when two men and two women will never have their own literal children. Tragedy is when a husband and a wife cannot literally make one flesh. People should go preaching at abortion clinics. You abhor idols but you commit sacrilege by going to church every sunday. Remember that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed by the Lord in Genesis. Sodomites (homosexuals, furries, necromancers) are disobeying the first commandment which God gave, which is, Be fruitful and multiply. Women should wear dresses and a head covering. Men should wear trousers with no head covering. The mark of the beast is spiritual and physical. Only God can create in the Bible sense which is to bring something out of nothing. Peace unto you. Let us follow the pure Christian religion. Dragon is the old word for dinosaur. Elohim is a devil. The saints are going through tribulation but that will end when the Lord Jesus shall return. The world shall go through the wrath of God, not tribulation. The saints shall possess the kingdom and we shall reign here for a 1,000 years. The feet of our Lord Jesus will touch the Olivet mount. The gospel of John shows that the Lord Jesus rose before the first day of the week. He died in the midst of the week and rose on the sabbath. Daniel 9:27, John 19:31, John 20. We would say that he died on Wednesday and rose on Saturday. The first passover of the holy old king James Bible always comes before the heathen Easter. Read Acts 12:1-4. If the first passover falls around Easter like in 2022, then something is wrong. The calendar problem must be solved. I am not relying on man and that is why the belief I have is different from most people. We ought to pray for the repentance and success of kings and all those in authority. I pray for president Joe Biden and his cabinet to do well and repent of their sins. I have been praying for all those in authority since I read 1 Timothy 2:1-4 some years ago. I am a sabbath keeping, new moon celebrating, holy day feast observing Christian that would never knowingly eat pork, shrimps, or anything sacrificed to idols. It is an abomination for a Christian to eat shrimps, pork, chicken, etc. Adam and Eve were children of God but they sinned by eating from an unclean tree. The mark of the beast will be IN the right hand or IN the forehead. It is spiritual and physical. Most of the world worships the beast by keeping sunday, friday, Christmas, Easter, Eid, Diwali, etc. The carnal mark is linked to a digital economy. Our Lord Jesus never ate shrimps or pork. Prayerfully read Leviticus 11:43 and Revelation 21:8. If you make yourself abominable, that is a sin! Repent. The new covenant will not save you if you continue being rebellious and stubborn against the word of the Lord. It is a sin to steal and a sin to forget the sabbath (saturday). *1 Samuel **15:23** KJV - For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.* Witchcraft, sorcery idolatry, witches, sorcerers, idolaters will be cast into hellfire. Only they that are washed in the blood of the Lord Jesus and keep his commandments shall be kings and priests. There is no such thing as a sunday rest or sunday sabbath in the Bible. Only the seventh day is blessed, sanctified and hallowed. Isaiah 66:22,23 says that from one new moon to another and from one sabbath to another shall all flesh worship before the Lord in the new earth. Matthew 7:21-23 proves that not everyone that says Jesus is Lord will enter the kingdom. We need to do the will of the Father which is to obey and honor our Lord Jesus Christ. He kept the new moons and we ought to keep them.

Paganism taught that the supreme being is a Triune. Three beings stemming from one physical central body. Catholicism adopted this in its teaching of Father Son and Holy ghost. By removing the son and replacing the son with himself (the pope), the emphasis is placed on female worship bc Mary takes the place of Jesus in the God head in heaven. And The pope take the place of Jesus on earth. While Catholicism proports that the Trinity has three separate beings, searching the records reflects an adoption of the pagan beliefs. So Trinity does mean something different from Godhead.

No man or church understands the trinity. The concept in name does not exist in the Bible, as I'm sure you're aware. To come to a trinitarian conclusion is fair, given Scripture, but by no means is any formulation of it set in stone. I find it very strange that people are willing to a) State with 100% surety the nature of the trinity, and b) Kick others out of their church for not agreeing. This is the cause of the East/West schism, as I'm sure you're aware. And churches/Christians continue to squabble over this. Does ANYONE seriously believe that at Judgement, after having believed in Christ, repented of their sins, and done their best to live a good life... they will be denied an eternity with God because their formula for the trinity was wrong on some technical point? People are so funny. :-)

I'm so sad that so many SDA pastors and leaders have been brainwashed to believe it. And more sad when I see that many of them are so talented and look so spiritually dedicated to God, but when it comes to question such belief they get itchy and label you as enemy of God. I am 65 years old and grew up in the SDA church and seen the intentions of people trying to introduce this heresy in my church of that time but saw how our good fellowmen fought against it. Then 1980 came, I was going to church, but disconnected from any happenings at the upper level of the GC, and didn't notice the change. It's only after 2015 that I started to wake up and question. And coming 2020 I made an in-depth research and realized how far we got away from our original biblical roots.

@brettweier95042 жыл бұрын
They do, but a lot of issue around the Reform Movement's stance on this was the... delay, in this acceptance. When the 1888 teaching emphasising salvation by grace was taught, the denomination swept it under the rug somewhat. Many accepted it, but many didn't. This came to a head somewhat in the 1920's and beyond, around the same time the reform movement was founded, though after this point the teaching became more and more readily accepted. In short SDAs and SDARMs would now agree on this topic, but many adventists did not agree with the stance when the Reform movement was founded.

Yes, the lack of revival by understanding the 1888 message largely remains: only a few scholars pick up its uniqueness, like Jon Pauline. Jesus is Saviour "of all men" not just those who believe: salvation is real in Jesus because "all died" in his death (2.Cor 5:15), for sinners only to come to know who they are in Christ for faith to begin. Such powerful motivation can harness God's grace to victory, amen.

They are a small denomination(as is the one you just covered), that is and has been very much hated by the SDA church. It was silenced in every way possible by the General Conference at the time. Knowledge of what they believe and their history is not known by the vast majority of people(even Adventists today). If you are doing a video on SDA reform movements or branches then the GADSDA movement should also be listed as it has a history that the SDA church wants to be forgotten and silenced.

In John 19 and John 20, we see that the disciples went there in the end of the sabbath. Christ also met them in the first night of the week as read in the book of Matthew, which is from saturday at sundown to before sunrise on sunday. Ezekiel 8:16 clearly shows the sinners having their Easter sunrise service by worshipping the sun towards the east.

Of all the 7th Day Adventist Churches that I visited - one I attended quite regularly for about a year to two years. I was convinced about Sabbath Day - Saturday Worship - at that time. As far as the Dietary Laws of the Old Testament they interpret that as complete vegetarianism. Sorry, I like a good lean beef burger. I can understand that there must have been a "Plant Based Diet" in the Garden of Eden, but the Jews ate meat, chicken and fish, no pork or certain other mammals & birds and restricted fish. There are indications that on average the 7th Day Adventist in America are one of the healthiest citizens in the country. I found the veneration of Ellen White was an overkill that prompted me to return to a Sunday Based Worship Day. As for their strict adherence to Biblical Study & Truth it is really "Spot On" and I do believe that Saturday is the Biblically True Day for Worship, I find it very hard to become a Vegetarian. Maybe that is something to consider or at least limiting animal in one's diet. Too much Ellen White. Covid certainly put a damper on attending any services. I visited many different churches for I believe in "The Body of Christ". There was one 7th Day Congregation that I considered going back just to attend Worship. Very Welcoming. Should return and attend. Better than no church. Quite a drive. Don't attend anything locally as for a Sunday Worship Church. I think the "End Times are near. At least for me. Sabbath is Saturday. As for Ready to Harvest, these are some of the best analyses of Christianity and its divisions. Extremely In-depth. Thanks. God Bless in Jesus' Name. Amen.

You just have to take EGW with a grain of salt because some adventists are very IN TO HER and some are not in it just depends on what church you go to. I was raised to SDA and I didn't even know who EGW was till I was in my teens that's how little she was emphasized in the church I grew up in. The official teaching of the church and most of it is I know is when in doubt go with The Bible. If EGW causes you confusion then just go with The Bible she is only there to help and guide but she does not supercede The Bible. Vegetarism is encouraged but not required with SDAs. Its a practice in discipline...but not required for membership. My aunts who were amongst the first Adventists in my family ate meat for over 20 or 30yrs after joining the church. It's only now in their 70s they have become vegetarians and my grandmother never made that switch and they were all leaders and highly respected in our local church! Now on the other hand we did have some vegetarians at our church and one of our members live to be a 107 years old actually she died 1 week before she turned a 107 and she was a vegetarian. I have another aunt who is not an adventist but has an adventist like diet... and she's 96yrs old and still healthy and in her right mind.

@@Keonny77 Thanks for your reply. Although the SDA Church that I attended is not close, I have to get going on Saturday Worship Focus. One becomes so programmed by Sunday Worship. The entire Protestant Society - few exceptions - and Western Society - America are conditioned into Roman Sunday. In fact I still have my last copy of "Rome's Challenge", but I lost/recycled my notes on the book "Sabbath to Sunday". I almost bought a few some years ago to give to my Catholic Family and Christian Community, but I've been disowned/distant for quite some time. Anyways, sometimes I do not "Fret" with Saturday verses Sunday, but God did command His chosen people to have their day of "Rest" to Worship the Creator on the 7th Day. Jesus, His Disciples and the early Believers of "The Way" would attend - including Gentile converts - Saturday Worship which begins on Friday Night. Afterwards, the followers of Jesus would gather Saturday Night for the "Feed Bag" and have their 'Guest Speakers' and/or read Letters and Scriptures in many situations well into Sunday. Well, thank you for generating some "Fellowship" on the Net. God Bless. Amen.

I was a part of the IMSSDARM for a while, but eventually left and joined the SDA church. The only difference between the two reforms that I could see was the nature of Christ. The Reform takes the position that "Christ was tempted in all points as we are yet without sin" strictly applies to the 3 temptations. Whereas the IMSSDARM took the view that Christ had the same internal temptations as you or I, yet didn't yield to them. I take the latter view now in the SDA church, but there are many different views. Either way, I'm impressed that you even found IMSDARM, as while they have the same number of members, people rarely hear about them.

The "funny" thing is: SDA-REF and IMS claim that the SDA church has rejected the message of 1888 while adopting the mother church's view on the Godhead. The message of 1888 was as non-trinitarian as it can get: „While both are of the same nature, the Father is first in point of time. He is also greater in that he had no beginning, while Christ’s personality had a beginning“ (E. J. Waggoner, The Signs of the Times, April 8, 1889). Waggoner's book "Christ and his Righteousness" (Jan 1889) was based on his preaching at the GC 1888. The first 4 chapters are about Christ's relationship to God and how his birth was a literal event in eternity past.

In most cases they are more strict to some aspects of the bible and neglect others on the other hand. I grew up in an SDA family in Germany. The positions might vary slightly from Country to Country and even region. All together the tolerance level is higher in north Germany than in the south but its higher alltogether than in african countries i guess. The actual head of the SDA general conference (Ted Wilson) is quite conservative and wants to reunite as many believers as possible to more strict views. For my part i am much more liberal in many positions including the so called special teachings of the SDA...

As a member of a reform group in the West Indies (not called reform in our name though) our stance on the Godhead is this. God is triune and though each part is fully God, there would be no God without the 3. We can never truly begin to understand a truly eternal being but I think he left clues in his creation. Mankind is body(form), spirit(breath/life force), and soul(consciousness). God is infinite power(father), infinite wisdom(son), and infinite love(spirit). If you have power but no wisdom how would you use it? If you have love but no power or wisdom can you work in righteousness? Just like how humans need body, soul, and spirit to be fully effective then God has to have all three to be fully effective. One human, one God. But we are finite and we cannot grasp the realms of the infinite like what happened in the incarnation. However I believe this to be a stable explanation of who and what God is. Blessings to you all.

It's admirable to encourage vegetarianism, but it's impractical and unhealthy in some cases.
@brettweier95042 жыл бұрын
I think that's why the "main" Seventh Day Adventist church advocates for pursuit of good health, but does not mandate vegetarianism as the only path to that. A much more reasonable stance, in my opinion. Our bodies are a temple, and we should keep them healthy... but the pursuit of that health is not always black and white. Vegetarianism can be immensely beneficial to some, but terrible for others. Furthermore, vegetarianism doesn't automatically equate to health. Chocolate is vegetarian!! At the end of the day, the core of the "health message" is the pursuit of good health. The reform movement misses the point entirely, in my opinion, by mandating only one path to good health, sometimes to the detriment of their members.

St. Paul wrote "One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him." in Romans 14. We don't have to make assumptions about a vegetarian doctrine; St. Paul, by God, told us what to think about it.

Hey Joshua. I wanted to get your opinion. This is a little off topic of this particular video but has to do with the overarching premise of your channel. One of the common complaints from those skeptical of Christianity is the argument from religious/biblical confusion. In a nutshell, the argument would be that the Bible cannot be a revelation from an all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving God because there is so much disagreement among Christians. This would not be expected if Christianity was true but is not surprising if something like naturalistic atheism is true. If the Christian God exists, surely he would not allow so much confusion about his message. I figured that very few people would know more about the differences between Christian denominations than you, but one of the things I notice from watching your videos is that Christians share more commonalities than differences especially on issues that most Christians would regard necessary for having a saving faith. That is to say there's one God, this God is triune, this God is the Creator of us all, that our relationship with God has been damaged due to the entrance of sin in this world, that God sent His Son to die for our sins, and that he physically raised him from the dead. And if we trust in Christ we will be saved from sin and have eternal life, and that Jesus will eventually return to raise the dead in Christ to himself. While I'm not Reformed, I personally think the Westminster Confession of Faith (1.7) hits the nail on the head when it says "The meanings of all the passages in the Bible are not equally obvious, nor is any individual passage equally clear to everyone. However, everything which we have to know, believe, and observe in order to be saved is so clearly presented and revealed somewhere in the Bible that the uneducated as well as the educated can sufficiently understand it by the proper use of the ordinary means of grace." My question is this: In studying the different denominations and all of their many differences, has your confidence decreased in God's ability to communicate with mankind his saving message or has it increased?
@joshvarges92302 жыл бұрын
The confusion is because of protestant sola scriptura. The reformation which really was fuelled by innovations in printing of bibles put interpretation of scripture away from the magisterium of the western church into the hands of local authority. this has really devolved into individual believers in the modern world having the authority to interpret as they wish. thankfully the ancient church councils established a consensus regarding the trinity and divinity of jesus in the West. if an athiest presses you on the state of modern christianity tell them Christ gave us one church not a canon of sacred scripture. and that one church still exists to this day guided by the holy spirit with a supreme teaching authority in succession to Peter the apostle

Good question. Researching denominations has not led me to view Christianity as less credible. I don't see how it follows like some claim. Just because God is able to by his omnipotence suppress the "free speech" of humanity to promote corrupted versions of the truth does not mean he will. So even if God just wants people to be free to believe what they want and say what they want is an answer to why his omnipotence is compatible with the mixed messages found in denominations. The Bible itself claims that there will be false prophets and opposing opinions prevalent, so it seems compatible with what we see. Also, divine hiddenness can provide additional arguments for why God may have an interest in allowing people to promote many versions of Christianity.

I also have a lot of frustration with the "Godhead" in Mormonism. The funny thing is that in Spanish, the church just calls it "La Trinidad", so as the person said, it's not that Mormonism is opposed to the Trinity, it just doesn't like the term. I am of the opinion that Mormonism, like Adventism, is in fact trinitarian, but the churches disliked the Catholic tradition so much that they started using the term "Godhead" as a protest...but when you get down to the nuts and bolts, there's nothing canonical in Adventism or Mormonism that is incongruent with the Orthodox-Catholic description of the "mystery" of the Trinity.

@YAJUN YUAN ^ Read this. I know everything that the SDA Church believes, your Church however doesn’t trust the Bible, that’s a common lie that I hear often. You do however trust a false interpretation of it made by a witch named Ellen White. Miller himself said he was completely wrong too, and I agree. Miller even got the year of Jesus’s death and the year of the decree going out off by a year too. It was in fall 458 BCE that the decree went out and Jesus died in 30 AD. The Jewish Calendar even confirms that this is the only possible year for his death besides 27 AD or 37AD where Jesus would have died on a Wednesday like the story clearly shows us he did. Those other two years are notably wrong and we know Paul was already an apostle by early 34 AD too. Jesus got interred in the grave at sundown when Nisan 15th was beginning without his burial procedures finished which would be a Thursday in Jewish terms. He spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the tomb and Jesus rose to life after evening fell on Sabbath which Jews consider the start of Sunday. By Jewish law of that era the entire time period from Nisan 15 to the next true Sabbath is a rest period and a Sabbath in itself. Jesus rested all three nights and days of that Sabbath and then rose to life immediately after the Sabbath period ended. Mary Magdalene and the other women were on their way back Sunday morning before the sun rose because it was the first day where they could legally go finish Jesus’s burial procedure. Before you say it, I am aware that Jesus spoke of his death and resurrection in two different terms. Sometimes he said three days and nights in the tomb of the Earth(completed) and other times he said on the third day he’d raise his body to life(incomplete). Jesus was telling us when he was coming back for us(his body on Earth). The Bible is full of two day and third day parables and they’re all related to the Messiah’s return. At some point after two days(2000 years) it’s his solemn promise to come retrieve us and start a paradise. Learn that Ellen White only told lies please, put your faith in Christ alone! I’ll pray for you now! GOD Bless! ❤️

We've actually found high ranking Adventists where Jesuits after their death. Given that adventism is one of the few churches that still calls the papal system Antichrist. This is problematic.

Do you think it is possible that the Lord has permitted the multiplicity of denominations for the purpose of convincing some people that true Christianity is personal - not institutional? Both of my parents were Seventh-day Adventists when I was born in 1944. When I was a child, I got the impression that my parents’ religion was quite a different thing than their denominational affiliation, i.e. that their religion was faith in the Lord and his written word - not faith in a modern prophet and not faith in a religious organization or its officers. That was my impression about my parents when they died in the 1980s and it is still my impression about them today. Much of the argument/conflict about religious beliefs and practices could be minimized if people would consider the groups of people who created the various denominations as having been called by the Lord to emphasize various aspects of the truth about who he is and how he deals with the terrible emergency of sin. John Wycliffe in the fifteenth century and Martin Luther in the sixteenth century doubted that laity needed clergy to interpret the Bible for them. Both Wycliffe and Luther doubted that the ceremonies of the mass turned the bread and wine of the Lord’s supper into the body and blood of Jesus. Both Wycliffe and Luther doubted that people go directly to heaven, purgatory or hell when they die. Wycliffe described the condition of the dead as “an unconscious sleep between death and resurrection”. Luther taught that death in Jesus “is a fine, sweet, and brief sleep”. Luther doubted that the mediation of priests on Earth is necessary for sinners to obtain the forgiveness of God. John Calvin doubted that someone’s salvation depended on the decisions of priests or bishops on Earth. Anabaptists in England doubted that the baptism of infants was valid. Baptists doubted that sprinkling or pouring should be considered baptism. In the seventeenth century, English puritans doubted that the ceremonies of the Church of England were entirely biblical and urged that anything not biblical be discarded in favor of “biblical” worship services. English separatists were similar to the puritans but with more radical doubts. I doubt that the seventeenth century puritans’ doctrines and practices were entirely biblical - especially the practice of consigning “heretics” to whippings, pillories, stocks or banishment - but I think the puritans did take some steps in the direction of biblicism. In the seventeenth century, it seemed to John Wesley that most of his fellow Anglicans and even most of his fellow seminarians were satisfied with a religion that seemed to him to consist almost entirely of rituals. Wesley doubted that a mere change in STATUS before God (even if it were genuine) should be considered the only important aspect of salvation so he encouraged his friends to seek a “second blessing” - sanctification / transformation. That doctrine combined with his interest in taking the gospel to the poor in England generated enough opposition that he found himself without an assignment to a specific congregation. Whereupon he declared, “The world is my parish” and he began preaching in open fields or wherever else people were willing to listen to his appeals to seek holiness. This view allows us to admire the various reformers without idolizing them. We can decide for ourselves not only about which doctrines were “right” or biblical without the need to adopt all of the beliefs and practices of any one of the reformers or all of the beliefs and practices of any one group. If the Lord hasn’t called someone (yet?) to emphasize one or more specific doctrines or practices, I suggest praying that he will do so. If or when such a person is under conviction to emphasize something helpful - some specific way or ways to encourage friends, neighbors and family members to trust the Lord - that person can then look for an organization with a similar emphasis. While I heartily recommend such a plan, I recognize the problem of most groups sooner or later becoming dogmatic about lists of doctrines - which then makes it difficult for people whose religion is personal. When I requested full voting membership in the SdA organization in 1959, I didn’t consider it to be hierarchical, creedal or dogmatic. For a while, I could consider dogmatic adventists to be simply uninformed about the origins and nature of the advent movement and the exception rather than the rule. I would be able to “live with” a variety of beliefs and practices IF they weren’t promoted as adventist dogma but it seems to me that it is getting harder and harder to find SdA who aren’t dogmatic. Including me, perhaps, because of my dogmatic opposition to dogmatism.

Ellen G. White, one of the founders and prominent figures of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, did indeed teach that Jesus Christ is Michael the archangel. This belief is a distinctive doctrine within Seventh-day Adventism and is based on White's interpretation of biblical texts. White's understanding of Jesus as Michael the archangel can be traced back to her visions and writings, which she claimed were divinely inspired. In her book "The Great Controversy," she writes, "The Lord Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, existed from eternity, a distinct person, yet one with the Father. He was the surpassing glory of heaven... Lucifer, the covering cherub, desired to be equal with God... Christ was one with the Father before the angels were created. Lucifer was envious of Christ and gradually drew a third part of the angels into rebellion." According to White's teachings, Michael the archangel is another name for Jesus Christ before His incarnation. She believed that Jesus, as Michael, played a crucial role in the heavenly conflict between good and evil. In her book "Patriarchs and Prophets," she states, "Michael had not always been called by this name. He was known as Lucifer, the covering cherub... But when he became rebellious, his name was changed to Satan." White's interpretation finds support in certain biblical passages. For instance, in Jude 1:9, it is mentioned that Michael contended with Satan over the body of Moses. Additionally, in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, it is stated that "the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout... and with the voice of an archangel." White believed that these verses suggest a connection between Jesus and Michael. It is important to note that while Ellen G. White's teachings have had a significant influence on Seventh-day Adventist theology, they are not considered canonical within the broader Christian tradition. The belief that Jesus is Michael the archangel is not universally accepted among Christians and is specific to Seventh-day Adventism. In conclusion, Ellen G. White, a prominent figure in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, taught that Jesus Christ is Michael the archangel based on her interpretation of biblical texts. This belief is unique to Seventh-day Adventism and is not widely accepted in mainstream Christianity.

The following is Scriptural proof who Jesus really is and that He is much more than just the Son of God. Paul said in Galatians 1:12 that he was not taught by any man but was taught by Jesus himself which means whatever Paul said was what Jesus told him to say. Paul said in 1 Timothy 3:16,"AND WITHOUT CONTROVERSY GREAT IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS, GOD was manifest in the FLESH (Jesus), justified in the SPIRIT, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory." Paul said in 2 Corinthians 3:17,"Now the LORD IS THAT SPIRIT, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." Jesus is speaking in Revelation 2:7,"He that has an ear, let him hear what the SPIRIT says to the churches...." And Paul said in Ephesians 4:4, "For there is one body, ONE SPIRIT....verse 5 ONE LORD, ONE Faith and ONE BAPTISM." Paul said in Colossians 2:8-10,"Beware lest any man fool you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 FOR IN HIM DWELLS ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY." Jesus is not just part of the Godhead - Jesus IS the Godhead. Paul said in Hebrews 1:8, "But unto the SON he said, Thy throne O GOD is forever and ever...." Jesus said in Revelation 21:6-7,"And he said unto me (John) it is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I (Jesus) will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of life freely. 7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his GOD, and he shall be my SON." Paul said in Titus 2:13, "Looking for that blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great GOD and our SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST." Acts 7:59, "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon GOD, and saying LORD JESUS, receive my spirit." 1 John 5:20,"And we know that the SON of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his SON Jesus Christ, THIS IS THE TRUE GOD, AND ETERNAL LIFE." Isaiah 9:6,"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son (Jesus) is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, ..." Jesus said in Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, which is, which was, and is to come, THE ALMIGHTY." Jesus said in Revelation 2:7, "He that has an ear, let him hear what the SPIRIT says unto the Churches....." Jesus said in Mark 16:16, "He that believes and is BAPTIZED shall be Saved, but he that believes not shall be damned." Jesus addressed what damned means in Luke 16:19-31, Matthew 13:42, Matthew 25:41, Mark 9:45-46, Revelation 20:15, and Revelation 21:8. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, "Go therefore and teach all nations BAPTIZING them in the name (SINGULAR name and not names) OF the Father, and OF the Son, and OF the Holy Ghost." Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are titles and not names. Every time Jesus disciples baptized anyone in water they invoked Jesus Name at baptism which is Acts 2:38, Acts 8:14, Acts 8:38, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:33, Acts 18:7, Acts 18:8, Acts 19:3-5, and Acts 22:16. Peter said in Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men whereby we must be SAVED." Some say the thief on the cross next to Jesus was not Baptized yet Jesus told him he would be with him that day in Paradise. Jesus had not yet given the COMMANDMENT to be Baptized in His Name until after he rose from the dead and just before he ascended into heaven. The thief or anyone else could not have been Baptized in His Name because they did not know about it. There is no t one scripture that says a person receives the Holy Ghost just because they are a believer. Acts 19:1-5 is a good example. If you are convinced you need to get Baptized in water in Jesus Name and get Baptized with the Holy Ghost - which is addressed in Mark 16:17 (Jesus speaking): Acts 2:4 (Pentecost), Acts 8:17, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, and Acts 19:3-5. Do a search, type in "United Pentecostal Church International", slightly scroll down to just below the red box, and type in your zip code. Then a screen will show a Church nearest you that will do that. If you do the above you will be making SURE your name is written in the Lamb's Book Of Life. Jesus said in John 10:27,"My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."

Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus is a so-called god/not deity. Jehovah's Witnesses believe the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, Jehovah, is the only true God/deity.

God rested on the 7th day after completing the creation. From day 1 to day 6, there was morning and evening. But on the 7th day there was morning but no evening. The question is "Did God start working on the 8th day, 9th day...."? If yes, what did God create on the 8th day? If no, was God resting on the 8th day, 9th day... up to this day? If God is resting up to this day, then God's Sabbath is not a 7th day cycle. God's Sabbath day is everyday till he create a new heaven and a new earth (which will become the 8th day for God). Our Day and night are caused due to the rotation of the earth whereby the shadow of the earth caused by the sun keeps the other side dark, which we call it night. But for God, there is no 7 day cycle of day and night according to our way of counting it. God will consider the whole earth as one unit such that day and night will have a different meaning. God gave the Law of Sabbath incorporated into the 10 commandments in Exodus 20:8-11. Observe the following:- 1. The Law was specifically given to the nation of Israel. 2. Sabbath day for Israel is a 7 day cycle. 3. Israel's Sabbath was an imitation of God's Sabbath,..... for in 6 days God made the heaven and the earth and on the 7th day, he rested. 4. God has been resting ever since the completion of his creation. 5. Israel's Sabbath too is God's Sabbath in the sense that it was dedicated to God. But Israel's Sabbath is not the true Sabbath of God. Hebrews 4:1-11 explains that Israel has not entered God's rest, God's Sabbath. Paul quoted Psalms 95:8-11. Israel's Sabbath is rejected. See Hosea 2:1. Deuteronomy 5:12-25, tells us why Israelites were to observe the Sabbath. God said, observe the Sabbath for you, Israelites were once a slave in Egypt and God brought you out of Egypt by his might. "Therefore, the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day." Ezekiel 20:10-14, says God gave his Sabbath as a sign between Israel and him, that they may know God santifies them. The above verses indicates that Israel's Sabbath is not the true Sabbath of God but an imitation of it so that Israelites may remember God and worship him. Physical rest is not the actual meaning of Sabbath. Physical rest day is to set aside a day to remember God and understand what is spiritual rest, what is God's rest si that we may enter God's rest, God's Sabbath one day. Old Testament references about God's rest may be seen in the following verses. Exodus 33:14; Isaiah 57:1-2; Jeremiah 6:16; Jeremiah 31: 25; Psalms 4:8; Psalms 62:1; Revelation 14:13; Isaiah 57:1-2. Jesus tried to make Jews understand the true meaning of the Sabbath by deliberately working numerous miracles on the Sabbath day, healing paralysed man, healing lame man, giving sight to the blind. Mark 2:27, Jesus said the (7 day cycle) Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. He said the Son of Man is the Lord even of the Sabbath. So, when the Lord of the Sabbath Jesus Christ says it is ok to do good work on the holy day, then that settles the issue. We don't have to keep Israel's 7 day cycle Sabbath. In Matthew 5:17, Jesus said he did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. Jesus did exactly that. The Law said, keep the 7 day holy and do no work. But Jesus said in John 5:17-18, His Father God is always working and he is working likewise. Just like "the rest of God" spoken in the Old Testament, Jesus speaks to us to enter his rest. Matthew 11:28-30, says, "come to me, all of you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest in your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light". Peter identified the "yoke" as the Law of Moses in Acts 25:10. At the council of Jerusalem, Peter addressed the Council on the issue of "unless you (gentiles who became Christians) are circumcised according to the law of Moses, you cannot be saved," and said, "now therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" Caution to those who insists on keeping the 7 day cycle Sabbath according to the Law of Moses. 1. In Exodus 35:2-3, we read, whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. You shall not even make fire in your homes on the Sabbath day. 2. James 2:10-12, whoever keeps the whole law but fails to keep it on one point, has become accountable for all of it.

Wow, everything you just said is wrong, first the reason Jesus made miracles in the sabbath is, because in the Jewish mind only God can work on the sabbath, because God is constantly working to preserve existence, by Jesus doing a miracle on the sabbath, Jesus was declaring that he was God. If everyday is Sabbath, then we shouldn’t be working or doing anything, because we are in permanent rest without any sort of work. I find it funny, that this is the only commandment of the Ten Commandments, A.K.A the law that God Himself to the whole of the congregation that included people that aren’t descendants of Jacob, that was changed and no longer valid. While the other 9 are completely valid, but to reject the only law, that God said to remember. First of all the Verse of Hosea your referring to is Hosea 2:11 and not 2:1, secondly that was reference is to all the sabbaths that come from the festivals and feast days of the ceremonial law. Deuteronomy 5:25 can be also read another way based on the other verses in the bible, in the Bible the land of egypt is used to symbolically to refer to sin. So the mention of Deuteronomy can be read kept the sabbath, because God liberated you from sin with strong hand and outstretched arm. I wonder what God did that liberated us from sin that we remember the sabbath, because of that event? The Yoke that Peter is referring to is the law of Moses, that is true, whoever Sabbath is part of God’s law, not Moses’, unless you want to argue me that non of the ten commandments aren’t to be obeyed, which no Christian would ever say, we follow what God has commanded of us or we don’t. It’s up to every individual.

@@shulkash8799 I don't mind being told that I am wrong if you can prove it. In that way I may learn more. You said according to Jewish mind, only God can work on the Sabbath day. But in the book of Genesis, it was written that God rested on the seventh day after completing his creation. Now please explain 1. how only God could work on the Sabbath day while he rested on the Sabbath day. 2. What did God do on the 8th day or 9th day... after he rested on the 7th day? 3. Do you say that God's one day equals to our one day with 24 hours? 4. Is the duration of God's one day equal to sunset to sunset in Israel?

@@shulkash8799 May I request you to read Hebrews 4:1-11. Paul talks about entering into God's rest. I understand Sabbatical means observing rest. If we consider Sabbath as observing rest from physical test, then we will be giving more importance to our earthly life than our heavenly life. But if we consider the Old Testament is a prefiguration of the New Testament, then I think we should look beyond physical rest. It should be spiritual rest to which we are called to enter.

@@justthink8952 1. Mark 2:27 The sabbath was made for man, but not man for the sabbath. The reason God rested was for our sakes, not his. He didn’t needed to rest. He created the sabbath for us to rest from all our works that were done in the previous 6 days as our example. He gave this gift to all Mankind and not just the Jews. And the reason, he can work on the sabbath is because he is constantly working to preserve existence, if he didn’t all of existence would start to brake down. Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 2. In Genesis never mentions anything after the creation of the sabbath or mentioned any other numbered day, however if you read Genesis carefully, you would noticed that the day is counted after the day is done, which means was sanctified after the 7th day as already past. As a reminder of the creation of the Earth. 3. This one is a loaded question, because you could just say 2 Peter 3:8 where Peter says “That a day with God is a Thousand years.” As a counter argument. However he goes to mention that thousands years is as a day, which is in reference to how God keeps his promises and his eternal nature. This is,however, doesn’t mean that God considers a day a thousand years. You could also try to apply day for a year principle, but can’t be based on the Genesis 1:5, which will also answer question 4. 4. Genesis 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day." "and God calleth to the light 'Day,' and to the darkness He hath called 'Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day one." In this verse, it describes the concept behind what is a day. It starts at evening, then comes morning and the day ends when the next evening comes. You can’t apply the day for a year principle in Genesis 1, because a year doesn’t happen when night and day passes, the only thing that happens when that process occurs that is referring to time is a day. You cannot apply any other description of time to describe the it’s passage, except a literal day. Edit: In your comment of Paul, the sabbath wasn’t just a day of physical rest, one was supposed to be rest mentally and spiritually, because on that day you were supposed to be in the company with God and be with him, it a separate time that you and God can meet and be in contact, that was the thing the sabbath was all about.

@@shulkash8799 you said if God is not constantly working to preserve his creation, the whole thing will break down. Yet Genesis 2:2 said God rested on the 7th day after completing his creation. But then the universe didn't breakdown even though God rested, right? Is God's Sabbath different in different parts of the world or does it start at the same time and end at the same time all over the world?

A Reformatory Movement (CH 580) "In visions of the night representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God’s people. Many were praising God. The sick were healed and other miracles were wrought. A spirit of intercession was seen, even as was manifested before the great day of Pentecost. Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families and opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was manifest. On every side doors were thrown open to the proclamation of the truth. The world seemed to be lightened with the heavenly influence. Great blessings were received by the true and humble people of God. I heard voices of thanksgiving and praise, and there seemed to be a reformation such as we witnessed in 1844. Yet some refused to be converted. They were not willing to walk in God’s way, and when, in order that the work of God might be advanced, calls were made for freewill offerings, some clung selfishly to their earthly possessions. These covetous ones became separated from the company of believers.-Testimonies for the Church 9:126 (1909)." "Hundreds and thousands "? This is a future Reform Movement. It must be seen in the context of the latter rain.
