When GOD Came Down

PDF Notes

 

All through the Old Testament it appears in the words of the prophets that God the Father was mingling with men. Yet since the prophets of the New Testament added their inspired commentary, it doesn’t seem that it was so:

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

The Divine Character in the Desire of Ages

PDF Notes

“God commanded Moses for Israel, “Let them make Me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8), and He abode in the sanctuary, in the midst of His people. Through all their weary wandering in the desert, the symbol of His presence was with them. So Christ set up His tabernacle in the midst of our human encampment. He pitched His tent by the side of the tents of men, that He might dwell among us, and make us familiar with His divine character and life. “The Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us (and we […]

Judie DeLong’s Personal Testimony

Born and raised in Alaska, my mother was from the only Federally recognized Indian Reserve in Alaska – Annette Island Indian Reserve, town of Metlakatla.  She met my dad while attending college in Sitka, Alaska.  I have three older brothers and a younger sister and adopted younger brother.   My parents were both religious.  My dad travelled the world with his dad – a presbyterian minister in the military.  My mother grew up going to Sunday school and church. Naturally, they brought us up in the church, morning devotions, attending church and Sunday school weekly – participating in vacation bible school, and various other church related activities.  Both were Sunday-Keepers.  I was water immersed baptized at about age 9. It was done because my brothers were being baptized and I was forced to do it.  I didn’t understand baptism – but did what I was […]

Third Person of the Godhead

PDF Notes

 

Who is this ‘third person’ we’ve heard so much about, and can we find that phrase in the Bible? 

    • No, that phrase is not found in the Bible, but Ellen White uses it—so what does it mean?

The Bible does reveal that concept, but in other words. Jesus spoke in the ‘third person’ quite often. When He used the phrase, “son of man,” it was then that we can see an application to the concept. Notice, that in most of the 88 times the phrase “son of man” was employed by the prophets […]
