Man’s Purpose and Meaning By Nyron Medina


We know for sure that man did not come into existence by gradual evolution. The sympathetic functionalism of every single part of the human body has with each other part for the functioning and survival of the human being, cannot sustain an evolutionary origin, thus we know that God created man (Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:7). But why was man created? What purpose was given to man to give meaning to his existence? The answer lies in an incident that occurred in God’s universe long before man was created. The highest of all 
God’s created intelligences thus far, an angel by the name of Lucifer, that stood at God’s throne, first ventured to use his brilliant mind to create a new path to follow for himself, other than the Will of God. He said in his mind: “…I will ascend into heaven, (that is, be an ascended one), I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, (that means, he will seek an exaltation to be more than an angel), I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north (that means, he will sit upon the throne of God in his attempt for such a 
recognition), I will ascend above the heights of the clouds) which means, he will seek to be an ascended one above angels), I will be like the most High, (this means that he wanted to be God with God). See Isaiah 14:12-4 and see also Ezekiel 28:2, 14-17 for examples of Lucifer’s original transgression. Lucifer wanted to be God with God, this was his original transgression which was alsohis invention of pantheistic theology. There are only two entities in the entire universe they are, God and Creation. Lucifer sought to make creation 
become God with God by the pantheistic view that “all is God”. However, his transgression was done in the knowledge of the fact that God is One (James 2:19; Deuteronomy 6:14), Invisible (1Timothy 6:15,16; Romans 
1:20), Divine (2 Peter 1:4; Romans 1:20), Spirit (John 4:24), Nature (2Peter 1:4; Galatians 4:6), Love (1 John 4:8,16), in three persons (1 John 5:7; Matthew 3:16,17). Jesus, while on earth,taught that God dwelt in the 
three persons, that the person form was not God; the Spirit Nature was God (Corinthians 5:19; John 4:4; John 6:63). Thus Jesus was God not in His body, but in the Divine Nature that was in Him and belonged to Him 
(Micah 5:2; John 8:58). Lucifer claimed that he was God with God because God dwelt in Him, but this could not be so, because he did not have any of the divine offices of God in him. The offices of God are Will, 
Mediator and Creative Agency, no more, and they have been divided up in the persons of the Father (Will – Hebrews 10:5-7; John 17:4), and the Word or Son (Mediator - 1Timothy 2:5) and the Holy Spirit (the Creative 
Agency – Psalms 104:30; Genesis :2). These three offices are the offices of the One, Invisible, Divine, Spirit, Nature, Love who is God alone, thus even though God dwelt in Lucifer or any other created intelligence, since 
His presence wasn’t with the offices of God, that being was not God and could not be called God. When Lucifer rebelled he took one third of the angels with him (Revelation 12:3,4) and later when man was 
created by God, it was to destroy the works of Satan, it was to destroy his claim to be God with God, and show that God was God alone (Isaiah 43:21; Deuteronomy 32:3; 1 John 3:8). Although man fell into sin in league 
with Satan to claim that creation is God with God (Genesis 3:1-6), the Plan of Salvation which gives to man a second chance at fulfilling his purpose for being created, is to cause man to destroy the multitudinous errors 
and deceptions of Satan, by saying that God is numerically one God. Mark 12:28-30-32. Man can only truly find meaning and purpose for his existence, when, as a born again Christian he says that “God is God alone”
 (Psalms 86:10; Isaiah 37:16; Psalms 97:9; Isaiah 42:8; Isaiah 44:6,8; Isaiah 54:5). Amen

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.
