29. Another fact about God is that He is numerically one, yet here is what the GC Adventists tell us:
“The English word ‘one’ is used to translate two words in biblical Hebrews: yahid
(unique, only son, Genesis 22:2) and echad (those united in marriage ‘become one in
flesh’ Genesis 2:24). ‘The Lord our God is on ‘translates echad, and means God is not
solitary, even though He is unique. It suggests that God is united, or more than one
Person.” Ibid p. 21
i. They have used one of the Hebrew words for one “echad” without inspiration to
suggest that this is saying that God is more than one person but is united.
ii. This reinforces the erroneous idea that God is three divine persons.
30. However the word “echad” literally means one like the number 1 (one) here is the proof.
i. When God says He is one (echad) YHWH, the word cannot be united or a united
YHWH. Deuteronomy 6:4
ii. Echad means one like the number one as it is evident in these Scriptures.
Genesis 48:22; Numbers 28:4; Deuteronomy 12:14; Deuteronomy 17:4; Joshua
10:2; Joshua 12:21; 2Samuel 12:3; Psalms 53:3; Jeremiah 52:21, 22.
iii. When echad is used for a united one, the issue is not the “united
but that the plural amount is as the number one. So numerical one is used to
show oneness. Judges 20:8; 2 Samuel 2:25.
iv. Thus God is one God and this is numerically one like the number one. Galatians
3:20

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel INTRODUCTION 1. The Bible tells us that any false gospel is a thing cursed by God. Galatians 1:6-9. 2. The false gospel makes us say Lord, Lord, but do not His Will, such people are lost.  Matthew 7:21-23. 3. The false gospel is described as untempered mortar that cannot help. Ezekiel 13:9-16. 4. It also tells a person peace, peace, (which is given by Justification) when there is no peace.  Romans 5:1; Jeremiah 8:10, 11. 5. However, the real Gospel is described as the power or science of God unto salvation  because it makes the believer, live by Faith. Romans 1:16, 17. 6. The Bible clearly explains that the Gospel of God’s Grace teaches denying ungodliness, it  teaches living righteously, it teaches that the purpose of the sacrifice of Christ was to  redeem us from all iniquities, (not in them), and to purify a people who are preoccupied  with performing good works. This is what ...

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...

MRS WHITE QUOTES ON THE 1888 MESSAGE REJECTION

1. “The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.” — TM p. 91. 2. “God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel’s message, in clear distinct lines” — TM p. 93. 3. “The message of the gospel of His grace was to be given to the church in clear and distinct lines, that the world should no longer say that Seventh-Day Adventists talk the law, the law, but do not teach or believe Christ. The efficacy of the blood of Christ was to be presented to the people with freshness and power.” — TM p. 92. 4. “This is the very work which the Lord designs that the message He has given His servants, shall perform in the heart and mind of every human agent….God gave to His messengers just what the people needed.” — TM p. 95. 5. “The Lord would have these grand themes studied in our churches, and if every church member shall give entrance to the word of God it will give light and...
