Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 4

Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 4

We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students. We were discussing their belief in The Trinity, first with respects to The Father and presently with regards to The Son. We continue. They continue: “John, the disciple, says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God” (John 1:1, 2, NKJV). Adventists believe Jesus was co-existent with God from…

Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 3

In our previous post we addressed the issue of the Sabbath, and the Seventh Day Adventist belief that it should be observed on Saturday. As stated, Bible Students do not hold to this belief, but believe rather that every day is holy to the Lord, but we also believe that everyone should worship as they believe to be right, as their conscious so dictates. To violate one’s conscious is a sin to the individual. We now would like to take…

Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 2

We return now to the question posed by one of our forum members, viz. Why didn’t anybody interpret Revelation the way you do before Charles Russel Taze and Ellen G. White came along? The commonalities are astonishing. I realize that the “commonalities” which you are suggesting here are in regards to Revelation specifically, and we will address that issue, but we would also like to mention some of the other beliefs held by our Seventh Day Adventist friends to see…

Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 1

We present this thread in response to a question asked by one of our forum members (on another Christian forum we frequent) under our study on Revelation, Part 170 Why didn’t anybody interpret Revelation the way you do before Charles Russel Taze and Ellen G. White came along? The commonalities are astonishing. Because prior to Pastor Russell no one had explain the symbolism of Revelation as well as he did, this is key to a correct interpretation of Revelation, and…

“The Seven Heads, Part 2” As mentioned in our study of Revelation Chapter 13, Part 3 many Bible Students vary in their opinion as to whom the seven heads are, in our previous post we presented two of the common ones. We would now like to present another one which as we had stated we believe more accurately fits the picture; it is taken from the New Albany Notes on Revelation. The following list is based on the assumptions that:…

“The Seven Heads, Part 1” As mentioned in our study of Revelation Chapter 13, Part 3 many Bible Students vary in their opinion as to whom the seven heads are, the author of The Keys of Revelation notwithstanding, however since we ourselves differ it seems only fair to present the pros and cons of each. As taken from the New Albany Notes on Revelation “So that it does not appear that we are specifically criticizing the list given by Brother…

Daniel Chapter 12, Part 10

Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.” “From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate SET UP” would be a time period of 1,290 days (years). The “abomination that makes desolate” actually began before Justinian’s day. That doctrine started in the 300s, but it…

Daniel Chapter 12, Part 9

Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 10 “Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.” This period of time covers from 1846 A.D., when the Evangelical Alliance was formed to establish orthodoxy, through the end of the age, a date yet future. The Evangelical Alliance was a testing period, for those not identified with it were considered a cult. Daniel 12 indicates several times…

Daniel Chapter 12, Part 8

Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 8 and 9 “Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?” And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” From Daniel’s standpoint, the 3 1/2 times were a LONG period of time. In fact, the time period was overwhelming to him, for he knew it indicated years, not days. He “heard”…

Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 7 “Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.” One of the two individuals asked the man clothed…
