EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOKLET "THE FOURTH OFFICE: By Nyron Medina.

1. The form in which the first sin in God’s 
universe came was in Lucifer—a creation—seeking to be God with God. Isaiah 14:12-14.

There is but one God numerically. Galatians 3:20; James 2:19.
God does not need a “god” with Him to do 
anything. Isaiah 43:10-12; Isaiah 44:24; Isaiah 45:12,18.

God tells us that there is no God but God only. Isaiah 44:6,8; Isaiah 45:21,22.
This one God is spirit. This means that He is not matter which is created. (To the word “spirit” we cannot imagine a form or creation). John 4:24.
6. This one God, who is Spirit, dwells in three persons. The persons-forms are not gods. This spiritual science is presented to us in the lessons of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:19.
7. We know of the three persons in which God is identified, by the fact that the Bible shows us following.
a. The Ancient of Days—the first person 
is identified as God. (Daniel 7:13; 
1 Thessalonians 1:1). 
b. The Son is also identified as God in the 
Bible. Hebrews 1:8-12.
c. The Holy Spirit is called YHWH which is God. 2 Corinthians 3:17.

So there are three persons in whom the divine Nature, God, dwells as a statute. 1 John 5:7.
9. God dwells in these three persons with His three offices of deity.
a. The office of the Father is Will. John 5:30; John 6:38,39; Luke 22:42.
b. The office of the Word or Son is that of 
Mediator or unfolder of deity. (Hebrews 12:24; John 1:18).
c. The office of the Holy Spirit is that of 
Creative Agent. The Holy Spirit creates the thing that is revealed. Genesis 1:1,2; Job 33:4; Psalms 104:30.

10. These offices are offices of deity. Only God, being God, can wield them.
a. Only God can be Will for all. Hebrews 10:7,9; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Galatians 1:4. 
b. Only God can reveal God. Isaiah 43:11,12; Isaiah 48:17.
c. Only God can create. 1 Peter 4:19; Isaiah 40:28.

11. The office held by Jesus the second person is that of Mediator or unfolder. (1 Timothy 2:5; Matthew 11:27).
Jesus can only hold that office of Mediator, because, as the second person, He is how God reveals Himself. (The following prophecy of the Word/Jesus reveals this). Isaiah 48:16,17.
The Holy Spirit as Creative agency also has 
a divine office like that of the Word/Jesus, 
the second person. He reveals, but His 
revelation takes from Jesus to reveal the 
actual experience in the mind (a form of 
creating). John 16:13,14; John 14:26.

Thus the Spirit is called the Spirit of Christ, because His knowledge put in the mind (a form of creating) is Christ coming to the 
person. (Romans 8:9; John 14:16-18).

15. This is why we are told that both the Holy Spirit and Jesus/the Word intercedes (which is mediating) for us. Because the third office of deity is a type of the second office of deity, but with the work of creating the revelation.

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...

MRS WHITE QUOTES ON THE 1888 MESSAGE REJECTION

1. “The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.” — TM p. 91. 2. “God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel’s message, in clear distinct lines” — TM p. 93. 3. “The message of the gospel of His grace was to be given to the church in clear and distinct lines, that the world should no longer say that Seventh-Day Adventists talk the law, the law, but do not teach or believe Christ. The efficacy of the blood of Christ was to be presented to the people with freshness and power.” — TM p. 92. 4. “This is the very work which the Lord designs that the message He has given His servants, shall perform in the heart and mind of every human agent….God gave to His messengers just what the people needed.” — TM p. 95. 5. “The Lord would have these grand themes studied in our churches, and if every church member shall give entrance to the word of God it will give light and...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
