Thusia SDA Gospel

What does the truth or the faith of Jesus does in regards to salvation: Answer: According to John 17:17, Revelation 14:12 and Matthew 24:13 the truth sanctifies and gives one the patience or the endurance to be saved in the end. This would imply it strengthens one spiritually and allow one endure faithfully in sinfreeness to be saved in the end.  Now what is the effect of error?.  Answer: According 1 Cor.15:34 those th at are not awake to righteousness it is because they have not the knowledge of God and it causes them to sin. In love what should be done then to help those in error? According Matthew 28:19,20 we are to teach them the things God commanded. If the GC SDA Church is in error what would God want his servants to do.? If we are told we have an error in our doctrine what would God want us to do? Should we close our minds and say we are God’s people we cannot be wrong and risk our soul salvation and those who would have learnt from us if we had obtained the

IF YOU ARE A MAN OR WOMAN OF GOD PLEASE LET YOUR CONFESSION ON THIS MATTER BE KNOWN AMONG MEN AS IT IS REGISTERED IN THE COURTS OF HEAVEN AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE SHALL SERVE THE LORD AND NOT MAN The following is taken from the SABBATH SCHOOL BIBLE STUDY GUIDE of the 3rd Quarter of 2010 July, 17th. “In this lesson we come to the basic theme of Romans: justification by faith. The phrase is a figure based on law. The transgressor of the law comes before a judge and is condemned to death for his transgressions. But a substitute appears and takes the transgressor’s crimes upon himself, thus clearing the criminal, who - by accepting the substitute- stands before the judge not only cleared of his guilt but regarded as never having committed the crimes for which he was first brought into court. And that’s because the substitute – who has a perfect record- offers the pardoned criminal his own perfect law-keeping. Thus, the guilty one stands before the judge as having never transgre

“BUT FORGIVENESS HAS A BROADER MEANING THAN MANY SUPPOSE. When God gives the promise that He "will abundantly pardon," He adds, as if the meaning of that promise exceeded all that we could comprehend: "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, a nd My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:7-9. God's forgiveness is not merely a judicial act by which He sets us free from condemnation. It is not only forgiveness for sin, but reclaiming from sin. It is the outflow of redeeming love that transforms the heart. David had the true conception of forgiveness when he prayed, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10. Thoughts from the mount of blessings page 114 “It required nothing less than creative power to restore health to that decaying body. The same voice that spoke life to man created

SEE QUOTES FROM "THE GREAT CONTROVERSY - THE INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT CHAP.28 Every man’s work passes in review before God and is registered for faithfulness or unfaithfulness. Opposite each name in the books of heaven is entered with terrible exactness every wrong word, every selfish act, every unfulfilled duty, and every secret sin, with every artful dissembling. Heaven-sent warnings or reproofs neglected, wasted moments, unimproved opportunities, the influence exerted for good or for evil, with its far-reaching results, all are chronicled by the recording angel. GC 482.1 All who have truly repented of sin, and by faith claimed the blood of Christ as their atoning sacrifice, have had pardon entered against their names in the books of heaven; as they have become partakers of the righteousness of Christ, and their characters are found to be in harmony with the law of God, their sins will be blotted out, and they themselves will be accounted worthy of eternal life. The Lord de

JUSTIFICATION BY THE MERITS OF CHRIST’S DEATH THROUGH HIS BLOOD-HIS LIFE-THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD WHICH IS THE SAID MERITS MAKING US RIGHTEOUS WITHIN PART 1 Rom. 5:8-10 speaks of the justification or the forgiveness of God obtained by the merits of Christ’s death through His blood. I quote “ But God commendeth his love into (Gk. eis) us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us ( “for” translated from Gk “huper” means as a provision, for the benefit of, as opposed to the Gk. “anti” which means in place of or instead of). Much more then, being now justified in (gk. “en”) His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved in (Gk “en” means “in”) his life. Blood mentioned in the above text that justifies us is not death, blood represents life - spiritual life, and that life must be in you. John 6:53 tells us “Then Jesus said unto them, Verily

The Quarterly quotes presents justification as SALVATION IN SIN. God is shown as only concerned primarily with punishing the sinner rather than redeeming the sinner that he sins no more. The solution to God’s concern is presented as the perfect record of Christ’s righteousness (his works righteousness) being substituted for your righteousness and he goes before a make believe court instead of you. Forgiveness/Justification is presented as God paying the death penalty. The righteous being punished instead of the guilty to clear them, something God said he will never do (See Bible Explanation 1}. Nothing is mentioned of a moral change in the sinner due to the death of Christ which the bible teaches (See Bible explanation 2) . Thus the above justification philosophy depicts salvation as being in sin as the person remains with their sin.  God is projected as unforgiving and merciless because someone else had to pay the price before he gives the sinner a chance to be freed from penalty

WE ARE TOLD: “In reply to the Papal bull Exsurge Domine of Pope Leo X [1520], Martin Luther burned the document and appealed for a general council. In 1522 German diets joined in the appeal, with Charles V seconding and pressing for a council as a means of reunifying the Church and settling the Reformation controversies. Pope Clement VII [1523-34 was vehemently against the idea of a council, agreeing with Francis I of France… Pope Paul III [1534-49, seeing that the Protestant Reformation was no longer confined to a few preachers, but had won over various princes, particularly in Germany, to its ideas, desired a council. Yet when he proposed the idea to his cardinals, it was unanimously opposed. Nonetheless, he sent nuncios throughout Europe to propose the idea. Paul III issued a decree for a general council to be held in Mantua, Italy, to begin on 23 May 1537…. However, the council was delayed until 1545, and, as it happened, convened right before Luther’s death. Unable, however,

4. Justification is an inner change. (Rom. 8:6; Rom. 5:1). 5. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit within the heart of the justified person. (Gal. 3:7-9; Gal. 4:6). 6. Justification is indeed an inner regeneration or renewal of the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Tit. 3:5-7). 7. Justification makes us sinfree indeed, because it is the new birth. (Tit. 3:5-7; Jn. 3:5-8; 1 Jn. 3:9). 8. Justification makes us obedient to the Law of God so that good works follow it. Rom. 3:24,28,30,31. 9. The Righteousness of God or God Himself is imputed or given to us indwelling in us our hearts. (Jer. 23:5,6; Rom. 3:22; Ps. 40:10). 10. It is God alone that justifies the repentant believer. Rom. 8:33. 11. God does not “declare” us righteous, the word does not appear in the Bible as a means of how God justifies us; rather God “imputes” Righteousness to us. Impute is a “mental counting” or a “mental estimation” not a declaration. “Logizomai…Actually the verb logizomai means to put togethe

"In the year 1510, Luther visited Rome to represent the Augustinian monasteries on certain business. As he reached Bologna, he became very ill. Here is what happened as God sought to fixate his study on the scripture........" “Here the enemy turned his thoughts in upon himself, and he became greatly troubled with the sense of his own sinfulness, for the prospect of death filled him with fear and terror. But the words of the apostle, “The just shall live by faith,” like a ray of light from Heaven, chased the dark clouds away, changed the current of his thoughts, and restored his peace of mind.” Ibid, pg. 625 ..............." "The doctrine held by Rome, which Luther condemned despite how this doctrine was structured, was in fact “justification by works”. Here is Luther exposing and condemning this species of justification. “Wherefore those things which the popish schoolmen have taught concerning the justifying faith being furnished with charity; are nothing
