THE GENERAL CONFERENCE IS NOT THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH, NEITHER IS IT THE VOICE OF GOD TO CONTROL THE CHURCH,THE POPE ALSO IS NOT THE HEAD, NOR PRIEST, NOR KING OF THE CHURCH

Jesus Christ is identified as the head of the body, the Church, which is on earth, even while He is in heaven. (Jn. 3:13; Eph. 5:23; Col. 1:18).
xxi. Jesus is also identified as the King of the saints, the Church. Rev. 15:3; Ps. 2:6, 7.
xxii. The government was to upon His (Jesus’) shoulder, thus He was born King. (Isa. 9:6, 7; Matt. 2:2).
xxiii. The whole world is directed by Jesus who is already King of Kings. (1 Tim. 6:14, 15; Rev. 19:11-16).
xxiv. Jesus is also the only High Priest. Heb. 5:5, 6.
xxv. He is a Melchezidecian High Priest, that is, He has no beginning or ending, He is God as High Priest. (Heb. 6:20; Heb. 7:1-3, 21-24; Heb. 1:8-12).
xxvi. Jesus is thus the only priest-king. He is made priest by God’s oath, and He is king because He is lion of the tribe of Judah. (Heb. 3:1; Heb. 5:8-10; Rev. 5:5; Rev. 22:16).
xxvii. It is the Holy Spirit that alone, on earth that can determine what is true doctrine and He reveals and confirms this to all whom He anoints with Himself. 1 Jn. 2:27.
xxviii. To claim that one is infallible and that he never errs, it to err. Rom. 3:23, 10; 1 Jn. 1:10.

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...

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 r...

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...
