The Laws of the bible can be easily categorized.

The Laws of the bible can be easily categorized. God emphasis on the moral law can be seen in his special treatment to the moral law above the other. One in the ark, the other at the side of the ark. One being eternal the other temporal.

Thusia Seventh Day Adventist Church Statement of Beliefs

1. We believe that God created the world in six literal days (Exodus 20:11; 31:17). 2. We believe that Jesus Christ came in actual sinful, human flesh but without sin or sinfree to help humanity (Romans 8:3. Hebrews 4:15). 3. We believe that justification by faith removes inner idol-values (the carnal mind) and substitutes it with the indwelling of the Righteousness of God (Ezekiel 36:25-27. Romans 3:22). 4. We believe  in the actual, real sinfreeness of the justified or converted man (Romans 6:6, 7, 11, 17, 18, 22. 1John 3:9). 5. We believe in the keeping of the Ten Commandments of God which includes the seventh day Sabbath (James 2:8-12?? Hebrews 4:3, 4, 9, 10). 6. We believe that forgiveness for or justification of past sins occurs in the Investigative Judgment (Acts 13:38, 39. Romans 2:13, 16. 1John 5:16, 17. 1Peter 4:8). 7. We believe that the Investigative Judgment begun at the end of the 2300 days/years; which is precisely 1844 (Daniel 8:14. Leviticus 19, 20, 29, 3

HOPE WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT TO BE BORN AGAIN IS NOT WATER BAPTISM BUT TO BE TRANSFORMED IN THE HEART INTO HOLINESS BY THE WORD OF TRUTH

1Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. Rom.6:17-18 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine (word of God) which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness Rom.6:6 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is

SEEING THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AN EXPERIENTIAL ENVISIONING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHIN BY THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH

John3:3  3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Rom.14:17  17 For the KINGDOM OF GOD is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Luke 17:21-22 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the KINGDOM OF GOD should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU. 1John 3:6  6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not SEEN HIM, neither known him. So being born again is being transformed in the heart into righteousness by the Holy Spirit who unfolds to us the truth.

TO BE BORN OF THE WATER IS TO BE BORN OF THE WORD SINCE WATER IS SYMBOLIC OF THE WORD WHICH CLEANSES THE HEART

John 3:5 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN OF WATER and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Eph.5:25-27 25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. John 4:13-14 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into EVERLASTING LIFE. JOHN 6:63 TELLS US WHAT THE EVERLASTING LIFE IS: John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life

An Allegory pertaining to the Sabbath

It is a strange thing that we see happen many times in our wold today; a wife confronts her husband of his infidility and of her right to be cherished and had be him till death to them part, and because he has cleaved to his idols and has no desire to repent he turns and slaps her and shuts her up with a follow up of more abuse. The world has cleaved to their idols and when confronted with the Sabbath which shows forth God's authority and   ownership as Creator over their person and all they have, they trample on it, abuse it and heap scorn on it, as a drudgery and a burden. Ezek.20:16 16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. Ezek.20:24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols. But they that love the Lord, the Sabbath is a delight. Our God says to those in spiritu

THE INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY "THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAW" BY NYRON MEDINA

A most important study anyone can embark upon is a study concerning the Righteousness of God which is apart from the Law in Romans 3:21. This Righteousness of God is what makes the Gospel of Christ work to save anyone who believes in it. The Gospel is the only science or the mechanism of God to save, because the Righteousness of God is in it as the active salvific ingredi ent. The Gospel is the vehicle for the Righteousness of God, thus when the Gospel is explained or exegeted, it unveils or reveals the Righteousness of God that is different to the Law of God, and which satisfies one’s theological logic and motivates genuine obedience to the same Law of God. This means, that if one has a false idea of what is the Righteousness of God, he has fallen short of the Gospel, and no Gospel, no Salvation. A study, therefore, on what is the Righteousness of God from the Bible can be nothing but highly  rewarding. In this study we look at the false concept of the Righteousness of God a

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAW.

The Righteousness of God is in the Gospel, and it is what makes the Gospel works. Romans 1:16,17. This Righteousness is given into all that believe.  Romans 3:22. It is a Righteousness that is different from the Law.  Romans 3:21. We must be found in the Truths or Faith of Jesus Christ, in the Judgment, having this Righteousness of God by Faith . Philippians 3:9. 5. But what is the Righteousness of God? It is YHWH Himself. Jeremiah 23:5,6. Martin Luther tells us the problem he had about the phrase “… the righteousness of God …” that kept him from being converted. He says: “I had indeed been captivated with an extraordinary ardor for understanding Paul in the epistles to the Romans. But up till then it was not the cold blood about the heart, but a single word in Chapter 1[:17], “In it the righteousness of God is revealed,” that had stood in my way. For I hated that word “righteousness of God,” which, according to the use and custom of all the teachers, I had bee

7TH DAY SABBATH VS SUNDAY EXALTATION (EDITED VERSION)

[SUMMARY OF POINT BEING MADE: THE PROVISIONS OF SALVATION BY THE LORD (INCLUSIVE OF HIS RESURRECTION) WHICH ARE COMMEMORATED BY THE COMMUNION SERVICE DOES NOT SPECIFY A DAY (1Cor.11:24-26): 1Cor:11:24-26 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. HOWEVER THE MEMORIAL OF THE LORD AS CREATOR REQUIRES THE SEVENTH DAY TO BE SPECIFIED FOR ITS COMMEMORATION - (end of summarized thought)] [1]. In Rom.6:4-9 we shall see the doctrine of the resurrection of Christ points us to Sinfreeness or in other words, to how we are made free from sin; and not to going to church on Sunday in honor of the resurrection of Chr

ANSWERING AN IMPORTANT QUESTION WITH SOME ADDITIONS

I was asked by my Face book brother the following question.  "May I ask sister Denise, do you ask Jesus daily to forgive your sins or not? My reply 1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: Now my brother If I sin I humbly repent and believe the truth and God will forgive me or justify make or make me sin free again. also since forgiveness is also the giving of grace or our daily bread to keep us in sinfreeness, I do pray asking God for forgiveness daily. One need to understand what is the science of forgiveness it is the giving for grace, grace is giving to the ungodly, the grace is given to justify the ungodly, to the saint the giveness of grace is to maintained sinfreeness an it is by God grace or mercy that he blots out our pass sins if we are found sinfree with the character of Christ in us. TAKE A LOOK AT THE WORD FOR-=PROVISION + GIVNESS T

THE GRACE OF GOD

THE GRACE OF GOD (which is FORGIVENESS which we are told cleanses us of all unrighteousness - 1John 1:9) EMPOWERS US TO ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK (see 2Cor.9:8), GRACE IS NOT GOD CHANGING HIS ATTITUDE TO THE SINNER WHILE LEAVING THEM HELPLESSLY IN SIN (shortened version) 2Cor.9:8 And God is able to make all GRACE abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to EVERY GOOD WORK: Eph.2:8,10 8 For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. NOTE: THERE IS RENEWING GRACE AND SANCTIFYING GRACE THAT ALLOWS US TO OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHIN. BASED ON THESE GRACES WE OBTAIN JUDICIAL GRACE IN THE INVESTIGATIVE JUDGEMENT WHEN OUR RECORD OF PAST SINS ARE BLOTTED OUT (Acts 3:19). Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted

THE GRACE OF GOD

THE GRACE OF GOD (which is FORGIVENESS which we are told cleanses us of all unrighteousness - 1John 1:9) EMPOWERS US TO ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK (see 2Cor.9:8), GRACE IS NOT GOD CHANGING HIS ATTITUDE TO THE SINNER WHILE LEAVING THEM HELPLESSLY IN SIN, THE CARNAL MIND IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD, IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE GOOD WORKS OF THE LAW, AND CANNOT PLEASE GOD (Rom.8:8-9). SO FOR GOD TO CHANGE HIS ATTITUDE AND SEE THE PERSON AS JUST AND PLEASING TO HIM GOD MUST REMOVE THE CARN AL MIND AND REPLACE IT WITH THE SPIRITUAL MIND. THIS HE DOES BY HIS GRACE THOUGH FAITH, AND IN THIS WAY EMPOWERS THE PERSON UNTO GOOD WORKS (See Eph.2:8,10). 2Cor.9:8 8 And God is able to make all GRACE abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to EVERY GOOD WORK: Eph.2:8,10 8 For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God hath bef

TRUE AND FALSE JUSTIFICATION CONTRASTED NYRON MEDINA

The Bible warns us of “doctrines of devils” 1 Timothy 4:1. We must take heed to the fact that “many deceivers are entered into the world” 2 John 7, because we are told that “Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 9-11. Why are we given such harsh language over doctrinal issues? Because they are very important to the fact of determining if a person will be saved or be lost.  Doctrines determine, as we have read above, who have Christ and who do not, this is why we are also told: “If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timo

GRACE EMPOWERMENT SERIES (continued from February 25TH )

Grace empowers to do good works (2Cor.9:8, Eph.2:8-10) because grace gives us (1) Righteousness within by (2) the faith of Christ (faith of Christ = revealed truths of Christ or the doctrines of Christ), hence we are told by grace are we saved (saved=reception of eternal life) through faith. Consider Rom.5:17,19 which shows that for us to receive eternal life in being saved we must receive the gift of righteousness. N ow this righteousness must be within us for we were shown previously that it bears fruits of good works Rom.5:17,19 17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more THEY WHICH RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE by Jesus Christ our Lord. So we see here receiving grace is receiving the gift of righteousness within unto eternal life Furthermore Rom.6:22-23 shows the g

GRACE EMPOWERMENT SERIES PT.3 (continued from February 25TH )

SUMMARIZED POINT: THE SCRIPTURES TEACH THE GRACE IS OF GOD SHOWN FORTH FROM THE DEATH OF CHRIST EFFECTS RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHIN THE PERSON THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD BROUGHT FORTH FROM CHRIST'S DEATH (See Isaiah 53:5,11, 1 Peter 2:21-24, Col1:21-24 quoted below). (1)Grace taught in the scriptures is not salvation in sin but salvation away from sin. (2) Grace does not effect righteous works due to gratitude, but grace effects righteous works due the conversion of the heart into sinfreeness. The bible teaches the heart must be made good that it may bear good fruit (Luke 6:43-45; Matt.7:17-18, Matt.23:26 quoted below) and that good fruit cannot come from a bad unchanged heart. Remember Rom.8:7-8 tells us the carnal mind is not subject to the law of God and neither indeed can be. So that they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (3) The grace of God that bringeth forth good works is thought by many to be due to gratitude caused from a false un-scriptural idea that salva
