-Ellen G. White claimed "new revelations", as well as by other founders via angels, visions, dreams
-By claiming to be a Christian, one has an obligation to show where it in fact IS to be kept (verses in context) by the Church, with not just the Jews alone being required to keep it-to show it in Scripture, in context (all of it). IN CONTEXT, not verses taken out of context.
-Show us that Sabbath keeping is, in fact, for Christians, from Scripture, (showing it in context, all of it) that the Sabbath is to be kept (period) by Christians, showing in Scripture, (in context, all of it) that it is NOT fulfilled in Jesus (He Himself said He was our Sabbath).......
-Show where the Pharisees were right about keeping the Sabbath law and Jesus was wrong about rebuking them for requiring His disciples to keep it, (they could not)
-Show where even one PART of a verse presented here was taken out of context, twisted to make it adhere to non-Sabbath Keeping, Biblical Christian beliefs.
-Show where Jesus's disciples after the start of the church age in Acts and the epistles kept the Sabbath as an example to us (they did not keep it) for the simple purpose being to be in obedience to God and the Scripture, and (most importantly today) where He commanded the Church itself to do the same, in context. Use any N.T. author you like in regards to the Church.
-Show from the Bible where Jesus HIMSELF kept the Sabbath.........(HE did not once ever keep it; He in fact violated it because He Himself gave it, He fulfilled it, He revoked it to become LORD of and over that Sabbath-HE IS OUR SABBATH!)
My Scriptures are below, and presented with the context, as always because it is always necessary to expose the lies of the Sabbath Keepers and all cults. The context is all the counsel of God.
Because one needs merely to study the Bible for themselves. It shows clearly where Jesus abolished the Saturday "Sabbath" for all in Him and stated precisely so (He said so when He and His disciples broke it!), completely by becoming our Sabbath rest. The burden is never on a Christian to show that the Sabbath is not for the Church, it is on the Sabbath Keeper to show that
the Church.....
There exists not one verse which a person who searches diligently as possible can find and supply, in context, in defense of the keeping of the Sabbath for the Church, nor can one refute
keeping it, using the same Scriptures, always rightly dividing the Word of Truth, always in its context, line upon line, precept upon precept, verses found in this biblical manner which clearly show us
. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice,
.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
-Otherwise: Therefore, Jesus was not our Eternal God, is imperfect, and is not our Saviour.
-His own disciples violated the Sabbath, and Jesus Himself defended them and did not rebuke them in any way, but rather rebuked the Pharisees who pointed it out
-Jesus rebuked the "Seventh Day Adventists" (Pharisees) and told them that HE SPECIFICALLY WAS the Sabbath; that it was not a day at all.
-Jesus gave them an example of David breaking their ceremonial laws also, right out of their own Scriptures
-Their own hypocrisy is exposed by Jesus, and they excuse themselves from breaking the same law, profaning the temple on the same Sabbath day
-Jesus is above and over all, LORD of all, above that same temple and they profane Him, and excuse that as well
-He then exposes their own hypocrisy again by reminding them of their own work on the Sabbath, for their own good.
JEWISH: Based upon the sun and moon, a religious calendar with festivals, sabbaths, Passover, Hanukkah, the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, etc. It is the one used in the Bible
on the Gregorian calendar.
The last day of the week on the Jewish calendar is Yom Shabbat or Sabbath Day is on Saturday. The Jewish calendar’s first month is Nissan which begins in either March or April for us.
- It is based upon the age of the world, not on Jesus Christ, which makes sense, since Israel MOSTLY rejected their Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ when He came the first me! Hello? Are you getting this yet?
GREGORIAN: based upon the sun and not the moon, and the truth that the universes is slowing down, which is why we have a leap year
-Why this does not matter is because we are the church, not the Jews, not Israelites, and Jesus never told us as Gentiles and as the Church to follow the Sabbath, and He violated it, which showed us that it was NEVER about a day; it is about our hearts. He also told us David did, Abiathar did, Ahimelech did, Hophni and Phinehas did. They violated the Sabbath!! Did Jesus send lightning down to destroy them on the spot like an SDA cultist would like to see people have done to them in their zeal, fervor? So they do not observe your Saturday". So what?
JULIAN CALENDAR: Similar to Gregorian, missing days, etc. unimportant also which one we follow really.
The disciples celebrated the Resurrection on the day it happened, and gathered together on that day after the Resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ, not on the Sabbath day after that. They went into the Sabbath as JEWS, preached in the Synagogue to JEWS, as JEWS, because that is the dat that JEWS met in the Synagogue, so that is where they could be found gathered. Are you an unsaved JEW or a Gentile Christian? Messianic Jew, completed Jew? Even they do not have to worship on Saturday, the Sabbath of the SDAers.
, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
: the relinquishment of divine attributes by Jesus Christ in becoming human
Jesus emptied Himself fully of all of His Deity and was merely a carnal, fleshly man. He was not omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. This was started by Gottfried Thomasius, some time in the 19th century.
"The great Creator assembled the heavenly host that He might in the presence of all the Angels confer special honor upon his Son. The Son was Seated on the throne with the Father and the Heavenly throng of Holy Angels was gathered around them the Father then made known that it was ordained by himself that Christ His Son should be equal with himself so that wherever was the presence of his son it was as his own presence."
Ellen G. White teaches that only the Father is the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

EASTER SATURDAY!

THE SABBATH KEEPERS FOLLOW THE FABLES OF ELLEN G. WHITE
....and we are commanded not to.
2 Peter 1:16
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Titus 1:14
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
1 Timothy 4:7
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
1 Timothy 1:4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
THE ONES
Ephesians 4:4-6
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Another false teaching in
They teach you can walk away from God, worship on a Sunday and
be lost, go to hell! They do not teach Eternal Security. When a person walks away from SDA lifestyle, they "need to be re-baptized" because they 'need to get saved again". I saw it. I could not believe my eyes, since I had already spoken to this person and knew they, if they were saved, were saved. This is a cult. All cults say that, outside of that cult, one cannot be saved. No, the Scriptures teach that, outside of JESUS CHRIST, no person cannot be saved.
Hebrews 6:19-20 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
That verse in Acts 4:12 above, to an SDA person, needs to be "interpreted by Ellen G. White"
THE SDAS HAVE ANOTHER JESUS!
2 Corinthians 11:1-14
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
THE OLIVET DISCOURSE: JEWISH
-Speaking to the JEWS about
their Tribulation, "Your flight" (that is, JEWISH FLIGHT, not the Church's EXODUS).
-Jesus knew that they would have to leave to survive if this were on a Sabbath Day.
-He also knew that, if given the choice of death versus life, they would violate the Sabbath to live
(Matthew 28:1)
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Jesus arose on the first day of the week, which is now our Sabbath rest..........(below)
(Mark 1:21)
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
(TO JEWS, in the SYNAGOGUE, not a church)
(Mark 2:23)
And it came to pass, that he (Jesus) went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
They violated the
SABBATH! Jesus was not a Seventh Day anything!
(Mark 2:24)
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
Why do “they”, that is, Jews, not KEEP the “required to keep” SABBATH?
(Mark 2:27)
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Thank you JESUS, for VIOLATING AND BEING THE SABBATH FOR ME!!!!!!!!!
(Mark 2:28)
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Jesus told the Pharisees:
-To back off
-That He was not going to KEEP the Sabbath
-That His disciples were not either
-That He Himself was the LORD of the Sabbath
-That He abolished it, being the Law Giver, He can do away with any law He wants to.
-That no one needs it
(Mark 3:2)
And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
Sounds like a bunch of legalistic Seventh Day Adventists to me.
(Mark 3:4)
And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
Why did they hold their peace, unlike modern Seventh Day Adventists? Because Jesus did not Himself keep the Sabbath, and abolished it, becoming it, and they could not refute Him.
(Mark 6:2)
And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the (JEWISH, not Christian) synagogue (not the church): and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
(Mark 16:1)
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
(Luke 4:16)
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
-Jesus’s custom was a JEWISH custom, not the custom the Church.
-Jesus went into a synagogue, not a Church building, on that Sabbath
(Luke 4:31)
And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
“THEM” is the JEWS, not the Church…
(Luke 6:6)
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
(Luke 6:7)
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
(Luke 6:9)
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
(Luke 13:10)
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
-Jesus taught on the Sabbath (HE worked)
-Jesus was watched by legalists (modern day Seventh Day Adventists) on the Sabbath
-Jesus specifically asked about healing on the Sabbath if it was lawful (according to SDAS, it is not)
-Jesus then violated that Sabbath and healed on the Sabbath
-Therefore, Jesus broke the Law, plain and simple
-Either Jesus was a lawbreaker (and not a Saviour) or the Sabbath was not a law any longer.
-You simply cannot have it both ways
(Luke 13:14-16)
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
(Luke 14:3)
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
-According to the Seventh Day Adventists, no!
-According to Jesus, YES!
(Luke 14:5)
And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
(Luke 23:56)
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
These were JEWS, not the CHURCH!
(John 5:9)
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
-----Jesus again
VIOLATED THE SABBATH!!!!!!!!!
(John 5:10)
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured,
It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
(John 5:16)
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him,
because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
(John 5:18)
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill
him(JESUS), because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
-Only legalistic, or unsaved, misguided people persecute Christians for not keeping the Sabbath, like the unsaved Pharisees………
(John 7:22)
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
Again, legalism and the Sabbath destroyed………..it was not in the law of Moses, but of “the fathers” (legalism)
(John 7:23)
If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
"You Seventh Day Adventists, you actually KEEP A LAW I do not even require any longer?"
(John 9:14)
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
That sinner Jesus, working on the Sabbath???!!
(John 9:16)
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Jesus was not of God because He keepeth not the Sabbath? Really? And we are to follow a person who HIMSELF did not keep the SDA SABBATH??? SDAbbath keeping is pure evil.
SDA CULTISTS:
1.) Unable to withstand any scrutiny, even the slightest bit
2.) A total mind control system that works well to brainwash anyone trapped in that web
JESUS CHRIST: AGAINST THE SABBATH KEEPERS
Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mark 12:30
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
1.) Jesus IS our Sabbath rest. He said so. SDA cultists call Him a liar
2.) Jesus violated the Sabbath Day, and told the Jews HE is LORD of the Sabbath. Jesus lived a perfect life and never once sinned-AND VIOLATED THE SABBATH!!
Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Luke 6:1-11
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
John 8:46
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
In an instant, they would have pointed out His healings on the Sabbath, just like the pointed out He at the showbread. His answer?
John 8:47
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
3.) The Sabbath is no longer a day of rest, nor a Saturday
4.) Our rest is not a day, not found in a day, but IS found in the LORD Jesus Christ. he said so
5.) They exalt their "Sabbath Day" above the LORD and God's Word. Whenever we lift up and exalt our "denomination" more that our desire to follow the LORD Jesus Christ we need to be saved.
6.) They make up all sorts of thing about history and the sheep are not allowed to question it, but only obey. Perfect example of a cult right there. A huge red flag in all cults that it is in fact and indeed a cult.
7.) They claim they know Jesus Christ and are saved by faith, but not "work to keep being saved", which also goes against Scriptural teaching in both the Old and the New Testament
THE FALSE TEACHINGS ELLEN G. WHITE, UNSAVED "PROPHET"
- She is the Final Authority on all matters of faith and practice, and along with all other SDA leaders
1 Corinthians 2:4-5
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
- Jesus was made God
"The exaltation of the Son of God as equal with the Father, was represented as an injustice to Lucifer who, it was claimed, was also entitled to reverence and honor"
Patriarch and Prophets, p. 37.
"Christ has been given an exalted position. He has been made equal with the Father. All of the counsels of God are open to the Son"
"The Son of God was next in authority to the great law giver (the Father). He knew that His life alone could be sufficient to ransom fallen man"
-Spirit of Prophecy, Vol.2 p. 9
The false teaching they believe on this is that, once Adam and Eve fell, Satan was able to pull the Son of God down from His exalted status
They further teach that, after this, the Father had "a council"and the Son was able to be brought into this council to discuss the plan of redemption for mankind. The Son had to try and convince the Father three times that He would be the one to come and ransom fallen man.
John 17:5
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee *before the world was*.
Psalms 8:5
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Hebrews 2:7
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
1 Corinthians 13:8
Charity never faileth: but
whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Revelation 22:18-19
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
John was the last prophet who wrote Revelation. There are many, many other verses which talk about making up things and adding, subtracting, changing the Word of God. We have the whole counsel of God, bound in a book, which SDA people SAY they believe and do not, because they believe it, "As interpreted by Ellen G. White". Which belies their claim that they believe it. The same book of Revelation speaks of the Beast (anti-Christ), the false prophet and the dragon (satan behind it). The lost will follow the Beast. The saved, truly saved, will be raptured out before that time and those who get saved after we are gone will never be "worshiping" any beast! They will be chased by the anti-Christ because of the testimony of Jesus and will not be openly worshiping in ANY place! Israel is the focus at that time, no church present, only Gentile believers.Even IF the Rapture was not before and the church was still on earth, she is sealed by the Holy Ghost (Who will not be on earth either, taken up with us in the Rapture. No "beast" can break that seal.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
However, according to the SDAers, not worshipping on a Saturday will separate us from the love of God.
1.) Worshiping their god on a Saturday Sabbath is because they want to be separate from all other, "God's True church" in these last days
2.) To them it is also a "seal of salvation"
3.) They claim to be the only "true believers", like all other cults
4.) You have to follow Ellen G.White's heresies to be a part of that and
5.) You must keep the Sabbath or you will not be saved
6.) I cannot make this up. "If you continue to worship on Sunday, you will receive the mark of the beast and be lost!" They believe that this does not matter if you are a Christian or not! In other words, they do not understand the Gospel. SO when the U.S. enforced blue laws, etc. this meant we are now all going to reveive "the mark of the beast", saved or not. Jesus Christ's death on the Cross for us means nothing to them. Only a day means everything.
Romans 14:5
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
THE WORKS SALVATION: ALL CULTS
1 Timothy 1:6-11
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
7.) I will not call it a "church", but a cult. There is not one characteristic or belief or behavior that makes it a part of the body of Christ. Even the doctrines it adopts as from Scriptures are explained by hiding the REAL belief and REAL meaning behind it, all filtered through the SDA teachings of Ellen G. White and her successors, all lost
8.) They purposely and purposefully take verses out of context and privately interpret them according to Ellen G. White's false "prophecies"
9.) They object to being questioned with Scripture or taught by a non cult member the Word of God, a true Christian
10.) They think they started education in the U.S., except their "education" is merely "indoctrination"
11.) They never answer questions directly
12.) They believe that, "If you just read and spend time in the Bible, you will see the Adventists Truth"
13.) Truth is, If you just read and spend time in the Bible, you will see the Adventists lie, and see it exposed openly and see GOD'S truth
14.) Ellen G. White claimed that when Jesus into heaven at His ascension, he did not enter into the holiest place and sprinkle His Blood on the Mercy Seat in the heavenly sanctuary until the year 1844. How convenient, hunh? This is in direct contradiction to Hebrews 9:12-14 and Hebrews 10:19–22 which states that Christ has entered the “holiest” sprinkling our hearts from evil conscience.
Hebrews 9:12-14
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 10:19-22
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
When Hebrews was written, Jesus Christ ALREADY gave the first century Christians entrance into the Holy of Holies by His own Blood when they died.
15.) The heretick also claimed that the “cleansing of the sanctuary” means Christ moved from the holy place into the most holy place, but there is no Bible text to support that view. We are the sanctuary of the Holy Ghost within us, so we are cleansed before God at the moment of salvation
She also claimed when Christ entered into the most holy place, the judgment books were opened (in relation to everybody who has ever lived). The verses below contradict that clearly by showing that that the dead both small and great are present at the opening of the books. These books are where and when all will be judged, some to everlasting life, some to everlasting death in
hell.
Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Ellen G. White also taught and the SDA cult believes that everyone who has ever lived are still in their graves (body, soul, spirit) and won’t be alive again till the second coming of Christ. So the opening of the books occurs after the second coming, not before. Not in 1844
2 Corinthians 5:6-8
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
15.) Ellen G. White and her followers claim they ONLY have the true Gospel-but they have no gospel.
Galatians 1:6-11
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Ellen G. White and the SDA Cult have a different gospel, which is no gospel, not from an angel in heaven, but a fallen angel

See the study on
"Woman Teachers in the Church". This heretick Ellen G. Whiteis their "EVERYTHING". She was a totally false, evil prophet.
Exodus 20:1-2, 8-11: The Sabbath Rest
(Exodus 20:2-3)
And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage...........
(Exodus 20:8-11)
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Commonly called the Ten Commandments, keeping the Sabbath day and rest was important to God for the Jews, who were to be different than the heathen nations around them. They were also given the sacrament of circumcision, and precious promises of land, and a promise of the Messiah to save them from their sins. That promise begins in Genesis three at the Fall of Adam and Eve. This and all of the other laws God gave them served several purposes:
1.) Separate themselves out from the pagan nations around them
2.) For civility, order (civil laws), their health (health, dietary laws)
3.)
To point them to the Messiah and show them their need for their Messiah
4.) This was NEVER, EVER, EVER to save them from eternal
hell
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Galatians 3:24
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
WHAT WAS "THE SABBATH?"
The Sabbath is referred to some 147 times in the Bible, ninety two times in the Old Testament, and fifty five in the New Testament, in all four Gospels, and in every single instance, there is the Jewish overtone, Jewish culture, Jewish location. Even the land was to be given a Sabbath rest by the Jews and, when they did not, God gave it rest by putting them into bondage for 490 years (seven times seventy).
THE SABBATH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
There is not ONE SINGLE VERSE where Jesus tells a disciple that they MUST follow the Sabbath in order to be saved, nor to get close to God, nor to Glorify God.
(Matthew 12:1 [KJV])
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
(Matthew 12:2 [KJV])
But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
(Matthew 12:5 [KJV])
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
(Matthew 12:8 [KJV])
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
(Matthew 12:10-14 [KJV])
And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
(Matthew 24:20 [KJV])
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
This was said to the JEWISH disciples. In revelation, this is said to JEWS in ISRAEL and elsewhere; the church is gone into heaven in the Rapture.
(Matthew 28:1 [KJV])
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
(Mark 1:21 [KJV])
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
Jesus entered into a Synagogue, not a church.
(Mark 2:23-28 [KJV])
And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Jesus, the sinless God man, a Jew, broke the Sabbath because He IS the Sabbath and rebuked the Pharisees who were hypocrites and even reminded them that David the same thing in their Old Testament Scriptures.
Abiathar was the son of Ahimelech the priest, like Annas the son-in-law of Caiphas, like Hophni and Phinehas the sons of Eli. Much hay is made about this, but it is not a contradiction and was a custom.
1 Samuel 21:1-6
Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present. And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women. And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel. So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
(Mark 2:27-28 [KJV])
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
(Mark 3:2-6 [KJV])
And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
Jesus WORKED did GOOD on the Sabbath because He gave that Sabbath and knew what it was for, for man's good, for his animals to rest, not to get anyone saved. Salvation was then as now by grace through faith alone and not works-EVER.
(Mark 6:2 [KJV])
And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
(Mark 15:42 [KJV])
And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

(Luke 6:2 [KJV])

(Luke 6:5 [KJV])

(Luke 6:6 [KJV])
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
(Luke 6:7 [KJV])
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
(Luke 6:9 [KJV])
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
(Luke 13:10 [KJV])
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
(Luke 13:14-15 [KJV])
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
(Luke 13:16 [KJV])
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
(Luke 14:1 [KJV])

(Luke 14:3 [KJV])
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
(Luke 14:5 [KJV])

(Luke 23:54 [KJV])
And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
(Luke 23:56 [KJV])
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
(John 5:9 [KJV])
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
(John 5:10 [KJV])
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
(John 5:16 [KJV])
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
(John 5:18 [KJV])

(John 9:14 [KJV])
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

(Acts 13:14 [KJV])
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
(Acts 13:27 [KJV])

Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

PAUSE
-They (Jewish Christians as apostles) went to the synagogue, on the Sabbath
-To be heard of Jews and their leaders
-These Gentiles understood and naturally assumed, knowing and witnessing that the Jews went to that same synagogue each Sabbath, that this was then the time to hear these Jewish/Christians apostles speak
-The whole city was not able to fit in any synagogue, nor were they allowed to even enter, on any day, let alone the Sabbath-and the court of the Gentiles was not large enough to fit the population of an entire city!
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue (a JEWISH TEMPLE, not a church) on the sabbath day, and sat down.
(Acts 13:27)
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
Rulers, because “they knew Him not”… Seventh Day Adventists know Him not……..and are lost.
(Acts 15:21)
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
................to the Jews, not the Gentile Christians

(Acts 18:4)
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
(Romans 14:5-6)
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
-Our “regarding not the “Sabbath day” is not to be anything at all.
-We are to be fully persuaded to keep it, from the Scriptures
-Since it is NOT a sin to not keep the Sabbath, allow me to decide, according to the Bible, not your denomination.
-Using only God's Word, not privately interpreted by me or any denomination and always in context, one would never, ever become a "Seventh Day Adventist"
(Galatians 4:9-11)
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
-Being saved (knowing God, known of Him)
-We are not to turn back to the Law, but to walk in Grace
-These actions are called "beggarly elements"
-The Sabbath Keeping puts one into bondage to the law, as legalism
-Observation of the Sabbath day is here under "ye observe days"
-Paul thought that his discipling them was a complete waste of time if they did this, and was afraid for them
BEG'GARLY, a. Mean; poor; in the condition of a beggar; extremely indigent.
BEG'GARLY, adv. Meanly; indigently; despicable.
(Colossians 2:16)
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
-I do not regard the Sabbath as Saturday. I regard Jesus as my Sabbath.
-I ALREADY gave verses showing that Jesus HIMSELF declared HIMSELF to be the LORD of the Sabbath, thereby (with His disciples breaking it and He defending them against the lie of SDAism)
-One does not need verses to show that Sabbath keeping is heresy.
-One needs to simply study the Bible for themselves and not study web sites and post links.
-I regard the LORD'S DAY (AS He Himself declared) as the "first day of the week", not the Sabbath:
(Matthew 28:1)
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
(Mark 16:2)
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
(Mark 16:9)
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
(Luke 24:1)
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
(John 20:1)
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
(John 20:19)
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
(Acts 20:7)
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
(1 Corinthians 16:2)
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
That same “first day of the week is Sunday, even today, and is “the LORDS Day”
(Jeremiah 31:31)
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
According to Seventh Day Adventists, God is incapable of making any “new covenants “ without their permission".
(Hebrews 8:13)
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
If you are a Seventh Day Adventist, you live under the OLD COVENTANT, which was made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, not the Church at all, at any time. Show me a verse where N.T. Gentile Christians (or Messianic Jews, for that matter) were instructed by Jesus or any N.T. writer to actually continue to follow the Jewish-given Sabbath.
1 Corinthians 10:11-12
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
The Old Testament accounts are for us to learn by, take heed of, not to be legalistic and miss the mark, not to miss the Cross, concentrating on Jesus and not ourselves and outward appearance in “keeping the law”, knowing it Did the Jews no good in trying to keep it-ever.
The “rest” taken or forsaken, spoken of in Hebrews, is two things:
-The account of the Jews who did not enter into the Promised Land because of unbelief, so spent their lives at war, in turmoil, unsatisfied, hungry, angry, etc.
-The peace, rest from believing in God’s salvation through belief in the Coming Promised Messiah
-This second part is our rest also
The CHRISTIAN SABBATH, HEBREWS 3-4:
HEBREWS CHAPTER 3:
Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
-After the order of Melchisedek
-Eternal, everlasting
-All powerful, still interceding on our behalf
Hebrews 3:2-5
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
-Moses had a ministry to the Jews for deliverance
-Jesus Christ has the ministry of deliverance, reconciliation, salvation and so much more......plus HE built the whole house of Israel, and is the Creator of the universe.
-Moses as a type of deliverer, but nothing compared to God Himself, Jesus Christ
Hebrews 3:6
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
This is our salvation-acceptance, grace through faith, belief
Hebrews 3:7-11
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
-To day was for them every day, an opportunity to believe, a hand outstretched
-The trials were to bring them to faith in their God, not harden them away from Him
-Instead, they did not mix these trials with the faith and refused to look at them through the eyes of faith, so proving, tempting, hardened themselves against God
-This resulted in the wandering in the wilderness , much like a wayward Christian today
Hebrews 3:12
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
-The departure from God is not from keeping a day, but rather unbelief, which God calls an evil heart
-This is to be watched for, guarded against diligently
Hebrews 3:13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Faith, hope and belief are the opposite of works, more works, false hope, deceit, sin, hardening of heart.
Hebrews 3:14
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
-True Christian believers are partakers, not rejecters who are subsequently therefore rejected
Hebrews 3:15
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
This day is the day of salvation, as every day was to them then
Hebrews 3:16
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
-Some believed, some did not……..same as today, same then
-Mankind never changes
Hebrews 3:17
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
God dealt corporately AND individually with Israel, depending on faith or not.
Hebrews 3:18-19
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
-The rest promised was both salvation from sin and salvation from heathen sinners-it was going home-peace on all sides in the land
-It was not even a day, this rest
HEBREWS CHAPTER 4:
Hebrews 4:1
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
The context of this verse (chapter 3 and the verses after this, show what that rest of God really, truly, actually is, and it is not a day-ever
Hebrews 4:2
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
-The gospel and their acceptance of it, was to be their rest, and now for sure ours
-They were restless because they refused that Gospel
Hebrews 4:3
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
-This is the origin of the Sabbath, the Genesis One Creation account
-Believing that Gospel which they and we heard is our rest
-God is done with Creation, Jesus Christ is done at the Cross, we simply need to “enter into that rest” through belief
Hebrews 4:4
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
-We get our week from the Creation account, not from the sun, moon, stars or anything else
-This is the design given for the Sabbath Day rest for the Jews
Hebrews 4:5
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
-This Sabbath keeping by them was one way to separate themselves from the pagan, heathen Gentile nations around them, like circumcision was as well
-Interesting how Seventh Day Adventists do not insist on circumcision also
Hebrews 4:6
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Back to the real rest, being belief, not a day.
Hebrews 4:7
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
This day spoken of is the day to listen to God, hear His voice, harden not the heart, get saved, which for us is always today
Hebrews 4:8
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
-Another day” is any day we can decide to rest in Jesus Christ, like was offered to the Old Testament Jews
-They never got rest simply because they did not believe in the promised Messiah even when they kept their lawful Sabbath
Hebrews 4:9
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Again, this rest is not a day, but a person, Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:10
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
-Keeping the Sabbath is a work, which we are exhorted to cease from, as with all works
-We walk by faith now, for the law has no power over us if we do
-We are under a new law, and have the Holy Spirit in us to help us walk in it
-If we break one part, we sin in all
-So if a man keeps the Sabbath, but lusts in his heart, he breaks the rest of the commandments
-If he walks in the flesh and not in the spirit, he also breaks the laws.
James 2:10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Hebrews 4:11
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Again, our work is to walk by faith (enter that rest), having believed
SO FAR, NO MENTION OF CHRISTIANS KEEPING THE SABBATH
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
That written book is able to slay anyone God wants it to, especially those who reject faith and go for the Law to live by, such as Sabbath Keepers
Hebrews 4:13
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
That same law one day will judge us otherwise also
Hebrews 4:14-15
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Jesus Christ, our High Priest, God Himself, understands our dilemma, our struggle with flesh and spirit, law and grace, belief and unbelief, having walked this earth as a man
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
TODAY'S SDA "SCHOLARS"
-"Michael the archangel is Jesus Christ"
- This is what the "Jehovah's Witnesses" teach!
Let us abandon the law keepers, and walk by faith in the new covenant God made with the Church,
NOT in the Old Testament Law given to the Jews.
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
