SDA are masters at selectively quoting the Bible. Well, you will all pay a terrible price. I do not say that you will be found in hell, because anyone who is born again will not be found there. I do say that you will be judged as you judge others.
Jesus said of John the Baptist....
Mat 11:9-11
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
John preached ... Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
He was preparing the way for Christ's first coming and it wasn't a message of peace and safety.
The message to be preached today is ....
Rev 14:6-12
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
It isn't a message of peace and safety. It is one of repentance and urgency. It is about getting ready to meet the coming Lord.
In Noah's day they laughed at the thought of a flood...
You can laugh at the message we are promoting but please learn from the past. Read your Bible and tell me which prophet prepared God's people by giving them words that were sweat and pleasing?
Would you prefer people tell you the truth or a lie?
2Ti 4:2-4
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
