The Great Controversy: The Investigative Judgement, Part 2

[@vueneonee7144]

The investigative judgement is pure good news. I recall my own fears of it because my sins weighed heavily on me until God spoke to me through Christ, noted how I grieved His tender Sprit, frightened myself until reading the word, prayer…… got me back at looking to Christ! I look at myself there is nothing worthy- I look at Christ, there is everything worthy. Thank you once again Elder Wilson. Your words are music to the soul

At the 4:44 the zacariah quote..... the investigative judgment is complete ( only the Father and His Son have privy to the thoughts of the minds and the intents of the heart ) .The books that have recorded the deeds done in life and the words spoken are open to the angels . Jesus presents His scared hands and side.He is saying to the angels , " I know what living as a human is and contrary to what the records you see would say, I am confidant that those who I have left written in my book ,that they will be suitable for citizenship on the earth made new . Just before Jesus returns He transferrs all the transgressions on the life records of the saved onto the life record of lucifer .

Where in the Bible is "The Investigative Judgement" found, and how does it relate to Oct. 22 1844, the beginning of your corporate ideology? Does Walter Rea's "White Lie" get the same investigative examination EGW does? Isn't she 80-90% plagiarized?

[@AdventistOrgChurch]

"The Investigative Judgment" concept in Seventh-day Adventist theology is primarily derived from passages such as Daniel 7:9-10 and Revelation 14:6-7, which describe a heavenly judgment scene. Adventists believe that this judgment began in 1844, based on a prophetic interpretation of Daniel 8:14 and other related passages. As for the allegations of plagiarism against Ellen G. White, it's a complex and debated topic within the Seventh-day Adventist community. While some similarities between her writings and other authors have been noted, Adventists generally believe that her writings were inspired by God and contain unique insights and messages for the church. Each claim of plagiarism is examined individually, and Walter Rea's book "The White Lie" has indeed received scrutiny within Adventist circles.

@@AdventistOrgChurch Allegations or facts? Have you read "The White Lie" yourself, and tell people to examine it for themselves, to see if the accusations are legit or not? Walter Rea grew up a SDA and was a pastor for 37 years in the organization. Tell me why I should believe you over him. Can you even explain the upside down cross in the SDA logos & symbols? Do SDA's support Israel, in their genocide of Palestine?

"The National Sunday Law ARGUMENT OF Alonzo T. Jones BEFORE THE United States Senate Committee on Education and Labor; AT WASHINGTON, D. C., DEC. 13, 1888. "How appropriate, therefore, is it that Cardinal Gibbons should indorse the national Sunday bill! How natural, indeed, that he should gladly add his name to the number of petitioners in support of the movement to secure legislation in the interests of the church! He knows just how his brethren in the fourth century worked the same kind of scheme; he knows what the outcome of the movement was then; and he knows full well what the outcome of this movement will be now. He knows that the theory underlying this movement is identical with the theory which was the basis of that; he knows the methods of working are the same now as they were then; he knows that the means employed to secure control of the civil power now, are identical with the means employed then; and he knows that the result must be the same. He knows that when religion shall have been established as an essential element in legislation in this Government, the experience of fifteen -88 hundred eventful years, and “the ingenuity and patient care” of fifty generations of statesmen, will not be lost in the effort to make the papal power supreme over all here and now, as was done there and then. And in carrying out the instructions of Pope Leo XIII., that “all Catholics should do all in their power to cause the constitutions of States and legislation to be modeled upon the principles of the true church,” the Cardinal assuredly is glad to have the opportunity to add his name to the more than six millions of Protestants who are set for the accomplishment of the same task. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 87.1} To those Protestants who are so anxious to make religion a subject of legislation, it now appears very desirable; and it also appears a very pleasant thing to secure the alliance of the papacy. But when they shall have accomplished the feat, and find themselves in the midst of the continuous whirl of political strife and contention with the papacy, not alone for supremacy, but for existence, -then they will find it not nearly so desirable as it now appears to their vision, blinded by the lust for illegitimate power. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 88.1} And when they find themselves compelled to pay more than they bargained to, they will have but themselves to blame; for when they make religion a subject of legislation, they therein confess that it is justly subject to the rule of majorities. And then, if the Romish Church secures the majority, and compels the Protestants to conform to Catholic forms and ordinances, the Protestants cannot justly complain. Knowing, as we do, the outcome of the same kind of movement before, we do not propose to allow this scheme to be worked out here without a decided protest. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 88.2} Senator Blair. -You are entirely logical, because you say there should be no Sunday legislation by State or nation either. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 88.3} -89 Mr. Jones. -Yes, sir, of course I am logical, all the way through. I want to show you the wicked principle upon which this whole system is founded, and the reason I do this is because the last step is involved in the first one. If you allow this principle and this movement to take the first step, those who get the power will see in the end that they take the last step. That is the danger. See how in the fourth century the logic of it ended only with the Inquisition. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.1} Senator Blair. -Was the Inquisition abolished by the abolition of the Sunday laws? {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.2} Mr. Jones. -No; but the principle of it was established by Sunday laws. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.3} Senator Blair. -Then if the inquisition was established by the Sunday laws, how was it abolished, but by the abolition of the Sabbath? How can you remove an effect except by removing its cause? {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.4} Mr. Jones. -The Sunday laws never have been abolished. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.5} Senator Blair. -Then the Sunday law could not have been the cause of the Inquisition. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.6} Mr. Jones. -The power which embodies the Inquisition still continues, and its emissaries have been in this country defending the Inquisition. That same power is now grasping for the control of the civil law, and the same causes generally produce the same effects. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.7} Senator Blair. -And the removal of the causes removes the effects with them. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.8} Mr. Jones. -Sometimes. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.9} Senator Blair. -Therefore the Sunday laws were not the cause of the Inquisition, unless the Inquisition still exists. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.10} Mr. Jones. -No, the Sunday laws did not cause the Inquisition. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.11} Senator Blair. -I understood you to say that it did. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 89.12} -90 Mr. Jones. -I say, through that the church received the power to make the principle and the work of the Inquisition effective. A certain exercise of power may be forbidden, and yet the means by which the power was obtained may not be forbidden. In other words, the power which was obtained through the deception of Sunday laws, may be prohibited in certain things, and yet allowed in many other things. {1889 ATJ, NSLS18 90.1}."
