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.

Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of […]

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 […]

Angels in Acts of the Apostles

PDF Notes

 

Remember, angel is only one of the ways used in the writings of EGW to refer to God’s agents. Go to the context of any section copied and pasted below to learn more.

He has sent forth His angels to minister to His church, and the gates of hell have not been able to prevail against His people. AA 11.2

Look upon the touching scene. Behold the Majesty of heaven surrounded by the Twelve whom He has chosen. He is about to set them apart for their work. By these feeble agencies, through His word and Spirit, […]

Because of the Angels

Because of the Angels

Christ has a head – He is under the authority of His Father. 

Man has a head – he is under the authority of Christ. 

Woman has a head – she is under the authority of her husband.

Why? 

Because of the angels. 

Really? 

Why???

Because the faithful angels didn’t know what had happened in the conflict over the begotten Son of God and the honored created son of God: Christ and Lucifer. They needed to understand what had happened and what the difference was between God the Father and His Son, so God made Adam to represent Himself, while Eve, begotten from Adam’s own substance, represented the Son. 

All of this, “because of the angels.”

The Humanity of Jesus Christ – with Robert Motsinger

NATURE OF GOD AND CHRIST IS EVERYTHING TO US

“The humanity of the Son of God is everything to us. It is the golden chain that binds our souls to Christ, and through Christ to God. This is to be our study… …the study of the incarnation of Christ is a fruitful field, which will repay the searcher who digs deep for hidden truth” 1SM 244.1

“As the life of Christ and the character of His mission are dwelt upon, rays of light will shine forth more distinctly at every attempt to discover truth. Each fresh search will reveal something more […]

Christ was God Essentially

Taken from the only time this quote was not included in a compilation:

“The world was made by him, “and without him was not anything made that was made.” If Christ made all things, he existed before all things. The words spoken in regard to this are so decisive that no one need be left in doubt. Christ was God essentially, and in the highest sense. He was with God from all eternity, God over all, blessed forevermore.” RH April 5, 1906, par. 6

Ephesians 3:9 and Hebrews 1:1-2 speak clearly that God the Father created all things through His Son. John 1:1–3 says that all things were created by Christ, […]

Answering Mr. O in Regard to Omnipresence

PDF Notes

Mr. O, I mentioned I would put a video together, but after starting to write out the notes, I found that writing would be a good way to go. I hope you don’t mind the change in what I said I would do. My comments are in bold:

Hello Pastor. I have some concerns regarding this video presentation and I am hoping you can help me understand. First of all, I agree with everything you have presented as far as the sources you have quoted. My concern is, I am afraid I am not understanding your interpretation of the material you have conveyed.

Thank you so much. If you could help, I would request that you go through the video again, pointing out precisely where I have misconstrued the words I […]

Proverbs 8:22-30

PDF Notes

This chapter starts out addressing “wisdom.” Notice how 1 Corinthians 1:24 and 30 address this issue saying that Christ is wisdom. 

“Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:24

“Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom.” 1 Corinthians 1:30

Ellen White applies Proverbs 8:22-30 directly to Christ in Patriarchs and Prophets 34.1 by saying, “the Son of God declares concerning Himself…”

Proverbs 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

Possessed: […]

My Testimony and How God Has Led Me – the Richard Story Testimony

PDF Version

 My Testimony and How God Has Led Me.

By Richard Story

The purpose of this testimony is not intended to be an all-inclusive autobiography. I’m trying to tell how I kept Jesus out of my heart, and He finally got me to listen to Him.

I was born in a Naval hospital, in Atlanta, Georgia, during a snow storm which is highly unusual for Georgia, even if it was December 12, 1944. I was 22 inches long, and weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. My initial size belied the fact that throughout my life I’ve been average height and definitely […]

The Foreknowledge of God

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge (Gr: prognosis, 1 of 2 uses) of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
