THE BIBLICAL TRUTH ABOUT THE GOD-HEAD PRESENTED BY THUSIA SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH A REVIVE MOVEMENT.

1. We are told that the invisible things of God like His Divinity are clearly seen by the
things that are made. Romans 1:20.
2. What the Bible clearly tells us about God is the following that can be gleaned from the
Scriptures.
i. God is One. Galatians 3:20; James 2:19
ii. God is invisible. Colossians 1:15; 1Timothy 1:17.
iii. God is Divine. 2Peter 1:4; Romans 1:20
iv. God is Spirit. John 4:24
v. God is God in Nature 2Peter 1:4; Galatians 4:8
vi. God is Love. 1John 4:8,16
3. From the Scriptures we can also glean that there are three persons in which God is
exclusively manifested. 1John 5:7
4. We are told that Jesus is God. 1John 5:20
5. Yet we are told that God was in Christ Jesus. 2Corinthians 5:19
6. The body or person of Christ was human and not divine. Hebrews 2:9,14,16; Hebrews
10:5
7. Thus the three persons in which God is, are not divine persons, but the persons house
the one God that is Spirit. 1John 5:7; Galatians 3:20; John 4:24.
8. The hair of the Father, or His body or person, is white as wool, this is certainly not
divine hair. God is Spirit, not hair or body, and it is this same God who is divine.
Daniel 7:9; John 4:24; Romans 1:20.
9. Again the Bible identifies the Father, the Word, and the Spirit as divine.
i. The Father is divine. 1Timothy 1:2
ii. The Word (Jesus) is divine. John 1:1
iii. The Spirit is divine. 2Corinthians 3:17

10. Thus the divinity of the Father, Jesus the Word and the Holy Spirit is not their persons,
but the divine Spirit Nature that dwells in them. Galatians 4:8; 2Peter 1:4; John 4:24.
11. God also dwells in the converted person, but this does not make the converted person
God. 1John 4:12; Revelation 19:10
12. However, God dwells in the Three Persons in a particular way that gives them the
identification of God. Isaiah 48:12, 13, 15, 16.
13. An example of this “identification” indwelling can clearly be seen in the explanation of
the incarnation of Jesus Christ which has brought “how God dwelt in Him that He is
God” to view.
i. Jesus is identified as coming from Bethlehem, but He is eternal, this is saying
that He is God. Micah 5:2
ii. Jesus is identified as the mighty God and the Everlasting Father, thus He is
God. Isaiah 9:6.
iii. The next points are true:
a. There is Divine Nature-being and reality. Galatians 4:8
b. There is also Divine Character which is the way in which God the divine
Nature is revealed. John 14:6, 7-10.
c. Jesus said that He was identified as the way to God or as the divine character,
John 14:6
d. Jesus said that He is the revelation of God, this is the Character of Christ.
John 1:18.
e. The glory of God (the divine nature) is seen in the face of Jesus (the divine
character). 2Corinthians 4:6
f. Only God can reveal God, thus the character that reveals God is divine.
John 1:18, 1.
g. Only the doctrine of Christ (divine character) has God (the divine nature).
2John 9.
h. This divine Character is Christ who is to dwell in us by Faith that we should
have both Father (Divine Nature, God) and Son (Divine Character) together
indwelling us. Ephesians 3:17; 2John 9.
i. But this divine character is identified as Jesus’ own which He received from
the Father, thus the divine Nature in it is His own, this is how He is God.
John 14:6, 9, 10.
j. This Character of Christ is the Spirit of Christ or Spirit of Truth, thus it
belongs to the Holy Spirit, and therefore the divine nature in that Character
belongs to the Holy Spirit. This shows the Holy Spirit is called God. John
14:16-18; John 15:26; Romans 8:9.

The Character that Jesus received was the Will of the Father, thus, as this
Character is the Father’s Will, it belongs to the Father, thus the divine Nature
in it belongs to the Father, this is how the Father is identified as God. John
5:30; John 10:17, 18.
iv. Thus the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is God because of their Character
identification as divine, thus as God. Isaiah 48:12, 13, 15, 16.

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...

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 r...
