Biblical Beliefs

An honest examination of the Bible & its extraordinary claims.  An excellent apologetic for those wishing to share the wondrous light of Yahuwah's Living Word!

Overcoming sin on your own is an exercise in futility.  Yet, when one chooses to put their faith in the Blessed Saviour, Yahushua, and believe in Him the true power for overcoming all sin is abundantly and readily available.

When a person has been raised believing error, the search for truth can be very confusing.  Truth, no matter how pure, can feel wrong emotionally, when it contradicts a person’s core beliefs.  Yahuwah has left none to struggle alone.  He has provided in His Word a standard by which anyone can discern what is truth and what is error.  This rule is to use the combined weight of evidence.  

"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." The people of Yahuwah are directed to the Scriptures as their safeguard against the influence of false teachers and the delusive power of spirits of darkness. Satan employs every possible device to prevent men from obtaining a knowledge of the Bible; for its plain utterances reveal his deceptions.  

Yahuwah knew the sin-darkened minds of the final generation would need additional help to perceive truth and understand Scripture.  WLC believes this was the purpose behind Heaven’s gift of the ministry of Ellen G. White.  More than a prophet to foretell the future, the writings of Ellen White encompass virtually every area needed for the daily overcoming of sin and living a victorious life in Yahushua. WLC accepts Ellen G. White as a true prophet, sent by Heaven as a messenger for the instruction and affirmation of the final generation.

In His infinite wisdom, Yahuwah knew that the final generation would need a special measure of divine grace.  Laodiceans are lukewarm.  Their “hot” works stem from “cold” hearts filled with pride.  Only special divine aid can reach a soul in such a spiritually dead condition. 

People who believe in the ministry of Ellen G. White as a true prophet often have the most difficult time accepting the lunar Sabbath.  They reason, "If Ellen White were a true prophet, how could she have worshipped on the wrong day?"  In order to retain their belief in Ellen White as a true prophet, many have rejected the true Biblical seventh-day Sabbath.

Ellen G. White: Was she a false prophet? ...or was she Heaven's messenger?  Do her writings pass the four major tests of a true prophet?  As with every spiritual teaching, you are admonished to study for yourself, comparing her writings with Scripture.  All true followers of Yahuwah will fully understand the foundation of their beliefs that they may give a clear and convincing testimony to others.

The close of probation is upon us.  This is no arbitrary act by an impatient Creator.  Rather, it is simply the acknowledgment that all have made their final choice in the great controversy between Yahuwah and Satan.  The investigative judgment that precedes the close of probation is for the purpose of revealing the hidden heart.  Now, while probationary time still lingers, make your calling and election sure.  Commit to bringing your all into total harmony with the will of Yahuwah, that when Yahushua comes, you may meet Him in peace.

Scripture is the divine filter by which every doctrine should be judged.  WLC believes the writings of Ellen G. White fit the Bible standards for truth and thus support her as a true prophet.  It is true that not all light was available in her day and many inquiries have come into WLC asking why there is continued support for her writings.  However, WLC has found that the principles contained in her writings are in full agreement with the Bible. 

The fact that Yahushua was tempted “in all points like as we are, yet without sin” gives everyone encouragement that we may also overcome in the same manner in which the Saviour did.  The secret to Yahushua’s consistent triumph in the battle over sin and Satan was found in His equally consistent reliance upon His Father’s strength.  He exercised no power that it is not our privilege to exercise as well, by faith in Him.  

Scripture presents a very special group of people who honor their Creator by worshipping on His holy Sabbath when all the rest of the world rejects it.  As soon as obedience is rendered on this point, however, each must stand alone, as this is extremely unpopular with priests, pastors, friends, and family alike.  All who reject the obligation to worship the Creator on His Sabbath will rise up against those who seek to obey.  Such it has ever been between those who serve Yahuwah and those who serve Him not.

Revelation offers details of both the destruction and the deliverance that occurs at the end of the world.  The “terms of engagement” in the war between Yahuwah and Satan guarantee the protection of those who have the divine seal and the destruction of those who do not.

The seventh-day Sabbath, as part of the divine law, is binding upon all peoples throughout all time.  Of all the commandments, no other commandment is broken so frequently and with such boldness as the fourth commandment.  

The Law of Yahuwah is a perfect transcript of His character, His innermost thoughts and feelings.  Yahuwah’s Law is perpetual and unchanging.  It will stand forever.

To our merciful and loving Creator, punishment is a strange act.  It is contrary to His very character.  However, He will not force anyone to be saved against his will.  All who persist in aligning themselves with the great rebel, Satan, will meet their destruction in the Lake of Fire with the leader they have chosen.  

The 1,000-year millennium following the Saviour’s return for His faithful, waiting people has been the focus of longing hearts ever since a glimpse into the future life was provided in the book of Revelation.  Scripture presents a clear delineation of events surrounding the 1,000 year reign of Yahushua with His people and it is quite different from the beliefs held by most.

The warfare between good and evil will reach its triumphant conclusion in the Second Coming of Yahushua.  Since the fall of mankind, Yahushua’s coming in glory to take His faithful people home, has been the focus of every longing heart.  No words can describe the scene.  No pen can capture the joy of that hour.  It will be experienced only by those who have sacrificed all to follow their Saviour all the way back to the Father’s home.  

The infinite wisdom and limitless love of Yahuwah devised a plan whereby sinful, fallen man could be restored to divine favor.  This plan embraced far more than the legal redemption of mankind from the control of Satan.  It also called for the restoration of the divine character within the human soul.  It is this work that Yahushua, our great High Priest, is engaged in right now.  

 Words and phrases are sometimes read or heard in sermons that are not clearly understood.  Righteousness by faith is one such phrase; frequently used, but dimly understood.  It is very important that all who desire to live eternally with Yahuwah have a clear understanding of precisely what “righteousness by faith” is, because it is the only way anyone shall be saved!
