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 ingredient. 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 as was held by the greatest of Protestant reformers, Martin Luther, before his conversion and his new discovery of the true Biblical teaching on the Righteousness of God that led to his conversion and the great Protestant reformation. We shall also look at the Roman Catholic current teaching on the subject, and that of the present Evangelical churches.

But by far the most greatest thing we shall look into is the Righteousness of God that is apart from the Law and that is testified of in the Law (the writings of Moses) and in the prophets (the rest of the writings of the First Witness). As usual, this study is written in such a way as to encourage personal thought and the formation of ideas by the conviction of the Holy Spirit unto the personal edification of the student and the development of his theological logic; it is also hoped that the false theological structures that have been built up owing to errors concerning the Righteousness of God, will be abandoned so that the Truth of the Gospel will take its place to the salvation of the individual. May the Grace of God through the Spirit of Truth be with all who, in willingness to do God’s will, study this booklet, in Jesus’ holy Name. Amen.

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,
