THE RIGHTS OF MAN-1

1. The Rights of man must be respected. Malachi 3:5.
Rights are: God-endowed, Divinely required Life-sustaining, behavioral Codes of Equality Under Law.
The Rights of Man can be summed up naturally into three major points. They are as follows:
i. The Right to serve God (Creator),
ii. The Right to Life, and
iii. The Right to private Property.

These Rights are seen in the Ten Commandments.
i. The Right to serve God (Exodus 20:1-11).
ii. The Right to Life. Exodus (20:12,13,16).
iii. The Right to Private Property (Exodus 20:14,15,17).

It is these Rights, when followed, that determine the success of any society. Deuteronomy 4:1,2,5-9.
Thus the Ten Commandments becomes the 
foundation of the success of all nations of the earth. The Law of God is so deep that David said such of it, Psalms 119:127,128,138.

“Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. Thy Testimonies that thou hast 
commanded are righteous and very faithful.”

Pleas learn.
A proper definition of “Rights” are:

“Divinely required Life-sustaining Behavioral Codes of Equality Under Law.”
Here are Scriptural evidences to support such a definition of the Rights of Man.
a. Divinely required. Exodus 20:1; Exodus 24:12; Deuteronomy 10:1-5.
b. Life-sustaining Behavioral Codes. Psalms 119:114; Matthew 19:16,17.
c. Codes of Equality Under Law. Numbers 15:15,16,29.

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.
