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

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,
