The chosen ones who are standing and breasting the storm of opposition from the world, and are uplifting the downtrodden commandments of God to exalt them as holy and honorable, are indeed the light of the world. How dare mortal man pass his judgment upon them, and call the church a harlot, Babylon, a den of thieves, a cage of every unclean and hateful bird, the habitation of devils, making the nations drunk with the wine of her fornication, confederating with the kings and great men of the earth, waxing rich through the abundance of her delicacies, and proclaiming that her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities? Is this the message we have to bear to Seventh-day Adventists? I tell you, no! God has given no man any such message. Let these men humble their hearts before God, and in true contrition repent that they have even for a time stood by the side of the accuser of the brethren who accused them before God day and night. . . . {TDG 172.2} Supposing this spurious message is the one everyone must hear for this time, "Come out of her, my people," where shall we go? . . . {TDG 172.3} I tell you, my brethren, the Lord has an organized body through whom He will work. There may be more than a score of Judases among them; there may be a rash Peter who will under circumstances of trial deny his Lord; there may be persons represented by John, whom Jesus loved, but he may have a zeal that would destroy men's lives by calling down fire from heaven upon them to revenge an insult to Christ and to the truth. But the great Teacher seeks to give lessons of instruction to correct these existing evils.--Manuscript 21, June 12, 189 - Paul Steve Thu, 02 Apr 2009 09:20:10 +0100 http://www.worldslastchance.com/for-sdas-only/do-sdas-need-another-prophet-to-inform-them-when-to-separate.html#comment-691 Last evening I went to a meeting at one of our conferences and one of the senior pastors there was talking about starting a prayer group that will unite with other non-SDA churches and pray for professional individuals like doctors and lawyers and they would not use the SDA name. Also he said that the way the Pentecostals pray is not wrong is just there expression and I was so surprised. This thing about unity is serious and it is calling our true church to unite with the world's churches. I am very skeptical about this unity thing when it relates to non-SDA churches who we should be calling out of Babylon into the light that we have. - Damian Jackson Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:54:13 +0100 http://www.worldslastchance.com/for-sdas-only/do-sdas-need-another-prophet-to-inform-them-when-to-separate.html#comment-256 Separation becomes absolute a duty because of [b][u]doctrinal heresy[/u][/b]! We have the lessons to learn from the Holy word of God. A man that is an [b][u]heretick[/u][/b] after the first and second admonition reject. "Many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the [b][u]doctrine of Christ[/u][/b], hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds" See Titus 3:10; Romans 16:17; 2Thessalonians 3:6,14; 2Timothy 3:5; 2John 1:10. We are authorized to hold in the same estimation as did the beloved disciple those who claim to abide in Christ while living in transgression of God's law. There exist in these last days evils similar to those that threatened the prosperity of the early church; and the teachings of the apostle John on these points should be carefully heeded. "You must have charity," is the cry heard everywhere, especially from those who profess sanctification. But true charity is too pure to cover an unconfessed sin. While we are to love the souls for whom Christ died, we are to [b][u]make no compromise with evil[/u][/b]. We are [b][u]not to unite with the rebellious[/u][/b] (that is separation friends) and call this charity. God requires His people in this age of the world to stand for the right as unflinchingly as did John in opposition to soul-destroying errors. {AA 554.3} “But the message announcing the fall of Babylon must apply to some religious body that was once pure, and has become corrupt. It cannot be the Romish Church which is here meant; for that church has been in a fallen condition for many centuries. But how appropriate the figure as applied to the Protestant churches, all professing to derive their doctrines from the Bible, yet divided into almost innumerable sects. The unity for which Christ prayed does not exist. Instead of one Lord, one faith, one baptism, [u]there are numberless conflicting creeds and theories[/u]. Religious faith appears so confused and discordant that the world know not what to believe as truth. God is not in all this; it is the work of man,--the work of Satan.” The Great Controversy 1884 ed, page 232. "After a long and severe conflict, the faithful few decided to dissolve all union with the apostate church if she still refused to free herself from [b][u]falsehood[/u][/b] and [b][u]idolatry[/u][/b]. They saw that separation was an absolute necessity if they would obey the word of God. They dared not tolerate [b][u]errors[/u][/b] fatal to their own souls, and set an example which would imperil the faith of their children and children's children. To secure peace and unity they were ready to make any concession consistent with fidelity to God; but they felt that even peace would be too dearly purchased at the sacrifice of principle. If unity could be secured only by the [u][b]compromise of truth[/b][/u] and righteousness, then let there be difference, and even war." The Great Controversy 1884 ed, page 46.2. Hence the [b][u]movement[/u][/b] symbolized by the angel coming down from Heaven, lightening the earth with his glory, and crying mightily with a strong voice, announcing the sins of Babylon. In connection with his message the call is heard, [b][u]`Come out of her, my people.'[/u][/b] As these warnings join the third angel's message, it swells to a loud cry." The Great Controversy 1884 ed, page 422 WLC Team are crying and sighing for the abomination that is being done in the professed church of God! :'( - afolabi samuel Sat, 18 Oct 2008 17:05:52 +0100
