The Bible teaches that God is One, divine, Spirit Nature manifested in three persons.

a. God is One. 1 Cor. 8:4,6; Deut. 32:39.
b. God is Spirit. Jn. 4:24.
c. God is divine Nature. 2 Pet. 1:4.
d. God is manifested in three persons. 1 Jn 5:7.
i. The Father is God. Tit. 1:4; 2 Tim. 1:2.
ii. Jesus is God. Heb. 1:6,8,9.

iii. The Spirit is God. 2 Cor. 3:17; 1 Cor. 2:10-13.
6. Sometimes people use the following Scriptures to assume that God is all-pervading, but this is not what it means. It means that God sees all things so that none can hide from Him, He even sees and hears what is in their hearts. Jer. 23:24-26.
7. This scripture is explained in another place as God’s eyes going all over the earth. 2 Chr. 16:9; Pr. 15;3; Zech. 4:10.
8. That God is not in everything or all-pervading is seen in that He does not dwell in human temples. Acts 7:47-49; Acts 17:24.
9. God who is Love does not dwell in the wicked. (1 Jn. 4:16; 1 Jn. 3:17).
10. It is not God, but the spirit of Satan that dwells in the wicked, thus God is not all-pervading. Eph. 2:1,2.
11. However, Rahman, the Muslim’s Allah, is a pantheistic all-pervading god.
“To Allah belong the East and the West, whithersoever ye turn, there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is all-pervading, all knowing.” Quran 2:115.
“He is the First and the Last the Evident [should be translated Outward] and the Immanent [that is, within all things]; and He has full knowledge of all things.” Quran 57:3.
12. In the Bible, pantheism is called the “mystery of lawlessness,” this is because it is a teaching that causes gross evil. 2 Thess. 2:7.
13. Whatever theory of pantheism it may be, they all cause gross lawlessness.
“Pantheistic theories are not sustained by the Word of God. The light of His truth shows that these theories are soul-destroying agencies. Darkness is their element, sensuality their sphere. They gratify the natural heart, and give license to inclination. Separation from God is the result of accepting them …” Ellen G. White, Evangelism, p. 601.
“These theories regarding God make His Word of no effect, and those who accept them are in great danger of being led finally to look upon the whole Bible as fiction … The unaided human will has no real power to resist and overcome evil. The defenses of the soul are broken down. Man had no barrier against sin. When once the restraints of God’s Word and His Spirit are rejected, we know not to what depths one may sink.” Ibid, p. 602

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel INTRODUCTION 1. The Bible tells us that any false gospel is a thing cursed by God. Galatians 1:6-9. 2. The false gospel makes us say Lord, Lord, but do not His Will, such people are lost.  Matthew 7:21-23. 3. The false gospel is described as untempered mortar that cannot help. Ezekiel 13:9-16. 4. It also tells a person peace, peace, (which is given by Justification) when there is no peace.  Romans 5:1; Jeremiah 8:10, 11. 5. However, the real Gospel is described as the power or science of God unto salvation  because it makes the believer, live by Faith. Romans 1:16, 17. 6. The Bible clearly explains that the Gospel of God’s Grace teaches denying ungodliness, it  teaches living righteously, it teaches that the purpose of the sacrifice of Christ was to  redeem us from all iniquities, (not in them), and to purify a people who are preoccupied  with performing good works. This is what ...

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.
