TO THEM THAT SAY "THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN RELIGION"

TO THEM THAT SAY "THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN RELIGION" I SAY THERE IS A PEOPLE OF GOD THAT ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME (2CHRON.7:14), AND LET EVERYONE THAT NAMETH THAT NAME DEPART FROM INIQUITY (2TIM.2:19)

When men say they don't believe in religion, by implication they are saying they do not believe in the bible; which is the only book that truly teaches how to be righteous (By the power of God's indwelling through the word of faith), for therein (the bible) it is taught there is a religion or a people that is of the true God - Yahweh, a people set apart and sanctified (or holified) unto Him as His people, and called by His name. There is also a further implication of a person saying "they don't believe in religion" and that is of not believing that Yahweh the Creator calls a people unto Himself to righteousness and holiness and thus to say one believes not in religion is a denunciation of the truth that God has full rights and claim to direct their life as it is with all His creation.

P.S. The bible refers to the people of God as Saints (1Cor.1:2), which is the Greek 'hagios" which means 'Holy" for example the sanctuary in heaven is called "the holy" or "ta hagia". This means God's people are holy and sinfree. As it is written "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;" - (1Peter 2:9). Gods people are holy because the Holy one dwells in the them by the word of faith/ revealed truths hence we are told "the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.(1Tim.3:15)" This means those that hold the truths of God which manifests the Righteousness of God are God's church that he dwells in. As such we are only able to identify the true religion of God by its harmony to the scriptures/the word of God.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we are

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all  nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the  earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4. Of this Scripture  we are told that it speaks about the Church, fallen because of sins. “In amazement  they [the people] hear the testimony that Babylon is the church,

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our right to heaven. It is the only merit we can claim.
