THE DEATH OF CHRIST

The bible teaches death of Christ is a provision with a moral substitutionary intent that we would be made sinfree by having the mind of Christ. The bible does not teach penal substitution - His death in our place. That is a pagan philosophy. Think of one scripture pertaining to Christ's death and evaluate the word "for" as pertains to Christ died "for" our sins. the word used in the greek is "huper" not "anti". huper means provision, while anti means substitute. See also text showing the death of Christ is for a gospel saving knowledge as a provision with a moral influencing intent -Isaiah 53:3-11 especially verse 11 link verse 5 with 1 Peter 2:24 and then read the context in verses 21-24. Isaiah tells us by his knowledge he shall justify many in verse 11 while 1 Peter 2:24 tells" he bore our sins in his body that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness". Verse 21 tells us he suffered for us leaving us an example. 1 Peter 4:1,2 tells us when we arm ourselves with the mind of Christ that he had when he suffered on the cross we shall cease from sin. Colossians 1:21-24 tells us the death of Christ reconciled us from being enemies in our mind by wicked works, that he may present us holy, and unblameable an unreproveable in his sight. Phil.2:5-8 tells us let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus ... humbled himself and was obedient even the death of the cross. " Matt 10:38 tells us he that does not taketh up his cross and follow Him is not worthy of Him. Matt.16:24 tells us if any man will come after Him, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow him.

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.

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 right to heaven. It is the only merit we can claim.
