Let us now consider our previous question, viz., Why should God continue his blessings, of which life is the chief, to those who after knowing and being enabled to conform to his just requirements, will not do so? It is just: because God is under no obligation to man. Man is already his debtor ten thousand times; and if he will not render loving respect to his Creator’s wise and good commands, Justice would demand that those blessings be stopped….
Emerging from that blackness of error called Calvinism (with its heaven of blessing for the “little flock” and its eternal torment for all others, as taught by good but sadly deceived men – John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Charles H. Spurgeon and others – ) into the glorious light of the goodness of God, shining in the face of Jesus Christ our Lord and revealed in the divine Plan of the Ages, the writer was subjected to the same attacks of…
We continue with the subject of, The Millennium and the End of Sin The Resurrection of Condemnation We continue once again with our look at the Millennium and the Judgement to come, and the article we were reviewing in our last post. “Are There Few That Be Saved?” We are told plainly that Christ is to “fill all things,” “far above all heavens” (Eph. 4:10), that in his Name will every knee bow, upon earth as well as in heaven…
We continue with the subject of, The Millennium and the End of Sin The Resurrection of Condemnation We continue once again with our look at the Millennium and the Judgement to come. “Are There Few That Be Saved?” The following excerpt comes from a book entitled, Future Probation in Christian Belief by Albert O. Hudson Since the Apostles “fell asleep” a number of Christian scholars, particularly those living during the 18th and 19th centuries, testified to their belief in a…
We continue with the subject of, The Millennium and the End of Sin Having considered what our Adventist friends believe the Church will be doing during the millennium (as not all believers, all who profess Christ are part of the Church, the bride of Christ nor will be going to heaven, See Matt 7:21-23), let us now consider what the scriptures say the Church will be doing during the millennium. It is evident that our friends don’t know why the…
Continuing with the subject of, The Millennium and the End of Sin In our previous post we were addressing the issue of what Adventist believe believers will be doing in heaven while the earth remains desolate and void of life save that of Satan and the fallen angels. According to our Adventist friends: “God is going to give the redeemed 1,000 years in heaven to learn about what’s behind His judgement of humanity. As you can imagine, we will have…
Continuing with the subject of, The Millennium and the End of Sin In our previous post we were addressing the issue of where Adventist say believers will be during the millennium. Now before we address the issue of what they will be doing we need first to address issue number 2, Where do they believe the rest of humanity are during this time? According to our Adventist friends, paraphrasing what they have said: At the beginning of the millennium following…
In order to qualify for the great salvation one must first have participated in the common salvation. One must first have become a believer, been justified from the Adamic curse through faith in the finished work of Christ before they could present themselves an acceptable sacrifice to the Lord, and participate in the high calling, the great salvation. Thus we find the Apostle addressing believers (those already faith justified) that they should go on to the “second step”, and present…
“To make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery.” (Eph. 3:3-6, 9.) To show men the conditions upon which they might become sharers with Jesus, joined to the body of Christ, the true Church, to see the method of administration or operation of the mystery by which they might become sharers with Jesus in the execution of God’s plans. This is where many stumble, lacking a proper understanding of the “The Two Salvations”, and the distinction between the…
“In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound [i.e. in the forepart of his sounding,] the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” (Rev 10:7) It is our understanding that we are now living in the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel. The evidence is that these trumpets mentioned by the Revelator and by Paul (1 Cor. 15:52; and 1 Thess 4:16;…
