A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT FAITH IS THE REVEALED TRUTH in the phrase "THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH"

Habakkuk 2:4 is the original place from where the common phrase used by Paul comes from (See Rom.1:17, Gal.3:11, Heb10:38), I quote:
Habb.2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH ('emuwnah [em-oo-naw]').
Now remember the old testament was originally written in Hebrew. The Hebrew word 'emuwnah (em-oo-naw') is what was found in the Hebrew and translated as the word "FAITH"
The Hebrew word "E'MUWNAH" is translated 12 times in the old testament as "truth" and at no time is it translated as "believing" or "trust" or "confidence". So when Paul wrote "the just shall live by faith" his understanding would have been "The just shall live by Truth". Note the thought here is not, the just living by believing, but truth.
The following are some of the text in which the word "Emuwnah" is translated "Truth".
Deut.32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth (Heb. -Emuwnah) and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Psalms 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth (Heb. Emuwnah).
Psalms 89:49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth (Heb.-Emuwnah)?
Psalms 96:13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth (Heb. -Emuwnah).
Psalms 98:3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth (Heb.-Emuwnah) toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Psalms 100:5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth (Heb.-Emuwnah) endureth to all generations.
Prov.12:17 He that speaketh truth (Heb.-Emuwnah) sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
Jer.5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth (Heb.-Emuwnah); and I will pardon it.
Jer:5:3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth (Heb.-Emuwnah)? ....
So faith being the reveal truth is not something new it was understood all along by the apostles who read the old testament as their only scriptures at the time. So let us now come up to scratch in these last days with the truth that faith is. May God help your understanding in truth and add His blessings.

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.
