BREAK WITH THE PAST, ENTRANCE OF THE NEW

23. The subjectivity of Justification is seen in the fact that it is the break with the old, past
experience and the entrance of a new holy experience. The following text shows this fact. 1 Sam. 10:6, 9.
i. The Spirit of the lord come upon (in) by the gift of the blessing of Abraham, which is
the Spirit in the heart, this is a break from the old man, to the new (or another) man.
(1 Sam. 10:6; Gal. 3:7-9,14; Gal. 4:6; Rom. 6:6)
ii. The break from the old heart of stone to another heart of flesh that has a new
experience through the gift of the Spirit, occurs through the water of the word by
which we are justified. (1 Sam. 10:9; Eze. 36:25-27; Eph. 5:26; Isa. 53:11).

24. The subjectivity of Justification is seen in the forgiveness by non-imputation of the passive-past sins or ideals of the lying carnal mind, purifying the experience of the mind (as the break with the past), and the making a man righteous through being upright or straight in
the heart (which is the entrance of the new state). Paul quotes this calling it Justification.
(Ps. 32:1, 2, 5, 11; Rom. 4:6, 7).

25. The subjectivity of Justification, in that it is a break with the iniquity of the heart by washing of Justification and the entrance of a cleansing or purification in the heart with a new spirit or experience, is clearly seen. Ps. 51:2, 6,7,10.
i. When we are washed from sin (the past) by the washing of Justification, we are
made pure, clean or whiter than snow (the new), showing Justification to be
Subjective. (Ps. 51:2, 7; 1 Cor. 6:11; Tit. 3:5-7).
ii. Truth in the heart or inward parts (the new), takes the place of error (the old) by the
knowledge of Christ through which He justifies us. (Ps. 51:6; Isa. 53:11).
iii. We are created a new creation (the new) so that old things are passed away (the
old), by the word of God the knowledge of Christ which Justifies us. (Ps. 51:10; Heb.
11:3; Isa. 53:11; 2 Cor. 5:17).

A new spirit is renewed in us (the new), against the old spirit or experience (the old),
by the water of the word of God; which is the justifying knowledge of Christ. (Ps.
51:10; Eze. 36:25-27; Eph. 5:26; Isa. 53:11).

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...

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...

Where in the Bible does it say, The Father dwells in 3 Persons? Scripture reference please?

An answer to question from a Facebook friend answered. Where in the Bible does it say, The Father dwells in 3 Persons? Scripture reference please? In the Bible God is described the following way. God is- i. One: Jam. 2:19; Gal. 3:20. ii. Invisible: Rom. 1:20; 1 Tim. 6:15,16. iii. Divine: 2 Pet. 1:4; Rom. 1:20. iv. Spirit: Jn. 4:24; 2 Cor. 3:17. v. Nature: (Gal. 4:8; 2 Pet. 1:4). vi. Love: 1 Jn. 4:8,16. Here are the real facts about the three Persons of the Godhead, as is taught in the Bible. i. God is one, divine, spirit nature not in any way an essence. (Gal. 3:20; 2 Pet. 4:1; Jn. 4:24). ii. The Persons – form of the three persons are not God thus not divine, this is testified of by the body of Jesus. Jn. 19:30; Matt. 4:1,2. iii. There are not three divine persons making up one essence of God, rather, there is one God, who is spirit, and invisible that dwells in the three persons. (Jam. 2:19; Jn. 4:24; Col. 1:15; 1 Jn. 5:7). iv. God dwells IN the persons; this is what Jesus dem...
