I not suppose be Here.But hey if I'm hear I share trueth from with the Spirit of The Living God
I’m enjoying another wonderful Sabbath, I’m so glad I was able to find it through Bible study , and the Holy Spirits teaching ! Search the scriptures, early believers practiced it . As Jesus said if you are my disciples you will continue in my word , you shall know the truth and it will set you free ! Amen !
You bet, we are the real winners.
I feel sorry for Israel the biggest losers of all.
Saved by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in the first instance and what a gift that was.
I agree, but it caused a fight within my self,, I knew it was right but I also knew I must come out of the world which meant I would lose friends and family would be up set, but the worst was my wife, she was not being called, only me.
She actually left with our two children.
She came back, but it took years before things calmed down.
She was baptized and died 7 years later, after 52 years of marriage.
We will be together for eternity when we rise together at the First Resurrection.
The sharpe part in best place it piercing Our Hearts , God is Love
Promised Holy Spirit in a clean vessels temple
You constantly use the phrase "Father's spirit" when referring to the Holy Spirit.
I asked AI why you would refer to the Holy Spirit as the Father's spirit?
The Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) belief regarding the Holy Spirit shifted dramatically from the 1800s to the 21st century, moving from a generally anti-trinitarian view to a fully trinitarian one. [1, 2, 3]
Differences in Holy Spirit Beliefs (1800s vs. 21st Century)
- 19th Century (Early Pioneers): Most early Adventist pioneers (such as Joseph Bates, Uriah Smith, and J.H. Waggoner) held anti-trinitarian views. They generally believed the Holy Spirit was the omnipresent influence, power, or energy of God the Father and/or Christ, rather than a distinct, personal divine being.
- "Materialistic" View: Early SDAs believed in a "material" God, meaning they believed God the Father and Christ had physical forms, whereas the Holy Spirit was seen as the influence radiating from them.
- Christ's Divinity: Early leaders often viewed Christ as begotten (having a beginning) rather than eternally existent, though this view began to shift in the 1890s.
- 21st Century (Modern SDA): The modern SDA church (formalized in 1980) defines the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Godhead, fully divine, co-eternal, and a distinct person, not just a force.
"Spirit of the Father" and Early Beliefs
The phrase "spirit of the Father" or "spirit of Christ" was commonly used by early SDAs. [1, 2]
- Does it reflect the old view? Yes, it reflects the early belief that the Holy Spirit was not a distinct, separate personality, but rather the Father's own spirit or presence extended everywhere.
- The Transition: While Ellen White wrote in The Desire of Ages (1898) that the Holy Spirit is "the Comforter, in Christ's name... a distinct personality," many pioneers continued to define it as the Spirit of God/Christ for years after.
- Modern Perspective: Modern Adventist theology still uses biblical language like "Spirit of Christ," but interprets it within a Trinity framework where the Holy Spirit is a distinct person within the Godhead, yet perfectly united with the Father and Son.
It took over a century for the SDA to realize that they were a heretical church!
"Yeah us swine AKA gentile Got the best deal no doubt about it there's no way I could keep the laws of moses. none"
So God the Father and Jesus Christ are going to give a person that can never keep their laws -- eternal life??
folks that lie, fornicate, steal, murder, lust, worship idols are to be given eternal life in God's Family, that is great news for Satan.
the chance that will happen are less than zero -- Thank God!!
God is not a respecter of persons nor will He fellowship with iniquity, lawlessness
those that accept the lie God has established two diverse ways of life, one for Jews and one for gentiles are far beyond simply being deceived.
Means u the are Sharp .I can't full it not even try like you see around ,! I see where it is, told you already enjoy in Hom As lone
I can't say that wasn't possible. Personally, I regard 1Pet 3:20 as describing how Noah, and his wife and their sons and their sons wives, heard God's word, by the Holy Spirit. It can only be assumed that they heard Him from within themselves, at least in that mention (but it's in the NT). However, deep calls to deep, and Spirit to spirit, as far as I can see it. I will make sure to take note of the first instance I encounter any explicit mention of the Holy Spirit indwelling a person in the OT. I'd never thought of that project before now.
When Elijah felt like the only one, God told him there were 7000 that He knew chosen similarly as their counterparts in the time of Paul (Rom 11:4-5), chosen (implied by language in both Hevrew and Greek that is reflective of being 'left behind,' incidentally, but that's another subject) by "all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him (1Ki 19:18)."
Genesis 2v3 And BLESSED the seventh day , and SANCTIFIED it :
That means to make holy and special.
Was it only that one single day ? Or forever?
Blessed is the MAN that doeth this , ( any man ) and the son of man that layeth hold on it ; that keepeth the SABBATH from POLLUTING it , and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. ISAIAH 56 v 2
ISAIAH 56 v 6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him , and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, EVERY ONE that KEEPS the SABBATH from polluting it , and takes hold of my covenant.
Isaiah 56 v 7 for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
( Jesus quoted this as well . )
Future Isaiah 66 v and from one SABBATH to another, SHALL ALL FLESH COME to WORSHIP before me , SAITH THE LORD.
The SABBATH is from the seventh day of creation and forever. The LORD said in Isaiah 66 v23
Read the whole chapters for better context but here you can see clearly what many never see .
For ever and all people.
Genesis 26 v5 God said Abraham honoured his laws and statues, so obviously the Sabbath was included, it was even included in the 10 commandments and 4th position, not a low position because it’s very important to the LORD as he says so many times …
May God bless you all !

It means to “Accept Christ Jesus as Lord” (as in 2CR 4:5 & CL 2:6). Another way is “Saving faith is loving Jesus as Messiah and Lord.” The main points of Christian orthodoxy implicit in this statement can be explained or elaborated as follows:
- There is a/one all-loving and just Lord or God (DT 6:4, JN 3:16, 2THS 1:6), who is both able (2TM 1:12) and willing (1TM 2:3-4, EZK 33:11) to provide all morally accountable human beings salvation or heaven—a wonderful life full of love, joy and peace forever.
- Human beings are selfish or sinful (RM 3:23, 2TM 3:2-4, CL 3:5), miserable (GL 5:19-21), and hopeless (EPH 2:12) or hell-bound at the judgment (MT 23:33 & 25:46) when they reject God’s salvation (JN 3:18, RM 2:5-11).
- Jesus is God’s Messiah/Christ and incarnate Son, the way that God has chosen (JN 3:16, ACTS 16:30-31, PHP 2:9-11) of providing salvation by means of his atoning death on the cross for the payment of the penalty for the sins of humanity (RM 3:22-25 & 5:9-11), followed by his resurrection to reign in heaven (1CR 15:14-28).
- Thus, every person who hears the NT Gospel needs to repent and accept God’s justification in Jesus as Christ/Messiah the Lord or Supreme Commander (LK 2:11, JN 14:6, ACTS 16:31), which means trying to obey His commandment to love one another (MT 22:37-40, JN 13:35, RM 13:9)—forever (MT 10:22, PS 113:2).
- Then God’s Holy Spirit will establish a saving relationship with those who freely accept Him (RV 3:20) that will eventually achieve heaven when by means of persevering in learning Truth/God’s Word/sanctification everyone cooperates fully with His will (JN 14:6, 17&26, RM 8:6-17, GL 6:7-9, EPH 1:13-14, HB 10:36, 12:1, JM 1:2-4).
Truth the little message covers much of Him.Why are they blessed its ,rt there to know HS speak clear
I am not a 7th day Adventists
God, we know as the Father became a father when He impregnated Mary by HIS SPIRIT and Christ was born, His first born
I became a father when I impregnated my wife
We are called to be Sons of God the Father, we must be impregnated by the Father's spirit to be HIS Son.
When The Father puts His One Spirit in those He calls to Christ, they become His Sons.
The spiritual can be understood by the Physical.
Christ was raised from death by the ONE spirit of the Father, we become sons by that ONE spirit --- All, Father, Christ and those born into the Family, will be of that ONE spirit
