THIS IS A STUDY ON THE GOD-HEAD taken from REVELATION 13 STUDIES -THE THOMISTIC HEAD 1323 to 1545 ACB BY NYRON MEDINA CONTINUED

Concerning the humanity and divinity of Jesus, the Thomistic head propagated a unity that made the human body of Jesus divine which would sustain the false doctrines that Jesus had holy flesh or sinfree flesh and the Immaculate conception, or the teaching that Mary was born exempt from sin. We are told.

“It remains, therefore, that human nature is united to the Word neither accidentally nor essentially, but substantially in the sense that substance signifies a rational single substance according to person, or personally.” Ibid, pg. 460-461.
“But this incarnation is a unique union beyond all mods of union known to us…. Furthermore, by His infinite power he has been able to make a new mode of union wherein the human nature is united to the person of the Word, yet not accidentally although no satisfying example of this is found among creature.” Ibid, pg. 461.
“The person of the Word; is included in the nature of the Word, nor can it be extended to anything beyond it. But the nature of the Word by reason of its infinity includes every finite nature.” Ibid, pg. 463.
i. We are thus told that the human nature of Christ is united to the person of the Word who is divine or infinite.
ii. This logically gives divine status to the human nature of Jesus, so that when Mary gave birth to Jesus, she gave birth to God, thus Mary is the Mother of God.
iii. However, the Divine Nature dwelt IN the human body of Christ. 2 Cor. 5:19; Col. 2:9.
iv. The Divine Nature can be said to belong to the human person of Jesus through the divine Character, which is the Gospel of Christ, and in which the Divine Nature inseparably dwells, which is Jesus Character identity. (Jn. 1:1; Jn. 14:6; Gal. 2:14; 2 Jn. 9).
v. Mary had the human Jesus (“child”) conceived in her, not the Divine Nature. (Isa. 8:14; Isa. 9:6; Matt. 1:23.
vi. However, when the human nature of Jesus came out of the womb of Mary, the Divine Nature – God – was in Him. (Isa. 9:6; Col. 2:9; Lk. 2:11; Ps. 68:20; Ps. 97:5).
vii. Jesus was born with sinful human flesh which is not sin, because He was sinfree, He was born with human flesh affected by, not infected with sin. Rom. 8:3; Heb. 4:15.
o. Christ became man, according to Thomas, that He may make man divine, thus is fulfilled the original lie of the dragon who sought to be God with God. (Gen. 3: ; Isa. 14:12-14).
“And so he became man in order to make man divine.” Ibid, pg. 465.
“We are led to preserve the purity of our souls. By its union with God our nature was exalted and dignified to the extent of being taken up into union with a divine person.” Ibid, pg. 466.
i. However while the pope is thus exalted to be God with God in this teaching. 2 Thess. 2:3,4.
ii. God has no God with Him. Deut. 32:39.
iii. Nor is any God formed before the face of YHWH or after Him. This is the witness all men are called to say. Isa. 43:10-12.

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,

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.
