Sickle of Truth

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;…

From what we’ve gleamed from some of the statements found on the Christian forum we frequent under the thread: The Mystery Revealed to Paul it is evident that there exist a lot of confusion over just what constitutes the “mystery” being spoken of by the Apostle Paul in Eph 3:1-12 with some imagining he was simply referring to the gospel of salvation itself. This of course could not be the case because the Apostle states that this mystery was not…

  “IF YE BE CHRIST’S, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM’S SEED AND HEIRS.” Another matter, really the key to the whole question which we are discussing, is revealed in God’s Word, viz., that in the divine purpose the promised “Seed of Abraham” that should perform the great work of blessing all the families of the earth, is to be one, in the sense of one kind, but not in the sense of one person–that is to say, that the seed of…

But what of our question, what is the Gospel to which the Apostle was not ashamed? As we had previously stated, The true Gospel must show divine Wisdom and Power in full accord with divine Justice and Love: of any other we should be ashamed. CONSIDER NOW THE TRUE GOSPEL. The word “gospel” itself should be the clue— should save the intelligent Christian from being misled by the various theories of bad tidings of great misery for nearly all people,…

  The ARMENIAN view of the Gospel Let us now examine the Armenian view. This view is growing popular. Its message or Gospel is God is love, he loves you; he loves everybody; he is doing all that he can to save everybody; if you are lost it will not be God’s fault, but your own. On the surface, at least, this theory seems much more loving and much more just than the one already examined, but before we go…
