  1. Harvest 1874

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    It depends on what you are harvesting. Now it’s true our Lord did say in Matt 9:37 that “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few”, but here we believe the suggestion was not that there were a great many to be harvested, but rather that the harvest itself is truly great, a great...

    A Great Blasphemy, Part 2

    The following is a Checklist for Interpreting Scripture This list of tests may be applied to interpretations of scripture to help determine its real meaning. You may think of other tests also. Does it square with the ransom? Is it in accordance with the divine plan? Is the scripture...

    A Great Blasphemy, Part 1

    The following excerpt was taken from a discourse by Brother Robert S. Seklemian entitled, “Thus Saith the Lord” “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures; and said unto them, Thus it is written.”--Luke 24:45, 46 The expression, “Thus saith the Lord,” is...

    A Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon

    Ezekiel Chapter 26, Part 4 VERSE 15 “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: ‘Will the coastlands not shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when slaughter is made in the midst of you?” In antitype the “isles” or “coastlands” are those associated with Papacy, those who do commerce with...

    A Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon

    Ezekiel Chapter 26, Part 3 VERSE 12 “They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will lay your stones, your timber, and your soil in the midst of the water.” Verse 12 as we had suggested at the beginning of...

    Sorry my friend but once again you are misinformed (try looking for information from a legit Bible Student site rather than from some propaganda site you found on the internet). Bible Students existed long before there were any Jehovah's Witness. The Bible Student movement began as early as 1876...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    You see right here is an example where clarification proves useful, I mistakenly assumed you were asking how many do I expect the Lord would reach by not employing “signs and wonders” during the harvest of the Gospel age as he exhibited during the harvest of the Jewish age, not how many we (as...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    You state: The words above were all I was after. In Reply, I always like to clarify my position so that others (not necessarily the individual who proposed the question) might get some idea from where I’m coming. There are a lot of “ghost” on these forums who may or may not be members but...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    In the early Church, following the Pentecostal outpouring of the holy spirit, every consecrated believer received a gift or talent, and some received many of these, as the Apostle says: "The manifestation of the spirit [a portion, at least one talent] is given to every man [in this consecrated...

    The Only Way, Part 14

    Continued from our previous post. And so we see that the dividing line between the earthly (or natural man), the unconsecrated believer, and that of the spiritual (the New Creature), the fully consecrated is the “First Vail” or “Vail of Consecration” the “door” to the Tabernacle. This...

    The Only Way, Part 13

    Having heeded the call echoed by the Apostle Paul to all believers residing within the courtyard condition, viz. “We beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God"—if you feel gratitude for the manifest love of God, and desire to please Him and enter into the blessings to which you are called--...

    A Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon

    Ezekiel Chapter 26, Part 2 Verses 7–14 are a prophecy of the destruction by King Nebuchadnezzar of the first Tyre, when the city was on the mainland. Actually it appears only verses 7-11 pertain to the destruction of Tyre by Nebuchadnezzar, verses 12-14 appear to be more in regards to some of...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    Sorry but this is not the doctrine of men, it comes straight from the scriptures, merely because someone turns a blind eye to it does not make it any less true. As for Babylon you are correct she has not repented nor will she, her fate is sealed the sea class will be the end of her. The...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    Associated Bible Student, we generally adhere to the original teachings of Pastor Russell as in distinction with other Bible Student groups such as the Dawn Bible Students who have drifted a bit. As for not pushing our beliefs on others, we prefer to just present the truth and allow the sword...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    When? The Judgement of Babylon is even now proceeding as we have entered the harvest of the end of the age. In what form or method is this judgement transpiring at the present time? Presently the “sickle of truth” (Rev 14:14, 15) is being used to separate the true (the wheat) from the false...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    We see no contradiction; the true Church is not a part of Babylon having long since heard the call of the Lord to come out. As it is written, the voice of the bridegroom (our Lord) and the voice of the bride (the true Church) are no longer heard in her. (Rev 18:23) If the voice of the Bride...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    No this is something the Catholic Church does (along with many other denominations) when it makes a distinction between the clergy and the lay persons, the congregation, addressing the clergy as Reverends, Fathers and etc. Bible Students hold as the Lord so taught, "Be not ye called Rabbi: for...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    A little history for those not so acquainted. The views that prevailed at Nicaea (A.D. 324–325) are embodied in the Nicene Creed, a strictly Trinitarian statement. At the synod the Trinitarians believed Christ’s generation was from eternity, so that he was co-equal—i.e., co-eternal with the...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    And your own studies of the scriptures means what? the scriptures according to … Pope Francis, or the Catholic catechism? First of all Bible Students do not follow men, although we do recognize that the Lord has used men from time to time to lead and teach his people. Bible Students recognize...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    No Bible Students are not a sect, a sect is a split off or splinter group, and we split off from nothing. Some have erroneously assumed that we are a splinter group of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, however they have this backwards, it’s the JW’s who are the sect, they split off from the Bible...
