    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...

    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...

    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...

    SDA: Seventh Dilemma Adventism

    We are simply Bible Students, students of God’s word, non-denominational Christians. As the Lord states “Judgement begins at the house of God.” (1 Pet 4:17) When it states, that judgment begins with the “house of God”, we must understand that both the true house, and the false house have...

    The End.....of the road ?

    “And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” 1 John 2:2 "We trust in the living God who is the SAVIOR OF ALL MEN, [but especially] of those that believe (now during the “acceptable time”)." 1 Tim 4:10 These text in no way teach...

    Sorry my friend but you are sadly mistaken here, I am not a Second Day Adventist nor have I ever been. Nor do we Bible Students adhere to the teachings of our Adventist friends. Our insights on these matters are our own as gleamed from our own studies of the scriptures. But just to be clear...

    This applies equally well to the whole professing church both Catholic and Protestant alike all who remain in Great Babylon. In this time and age if one has not yet come to the realization of just what Great Babylon consist then they are either naive or ignorant. “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the...

    A Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon

    Ezekiel Chapter 26, Part 1 “Tyre and Sidon were literally sister cities 20 miles apart, just North of Israel on the Mediterranean Sea. They were the two main cities of Phoenicia; Tyre was about 30 miles north of Nazareth. In Matt 15:21 were told that Jesus visited both Tyre and Sidon. The...

    Ezekiel Chapter 26, Part 1 Excerpts for this study come primarily from Brother Frank Shallieu’s studies on the Book of Ezekiel, and from other related Bible Student resources as well as my own personal studies. Understand as Bible Students we are generally one in faith, that is in respects to...

    The Only Way, Part 12

    AFTER our Lord had fully consecrated himself, surrendering his will for that of the Father’s, or as the Apostle quotes it from the Old Testament, “Lo, I come; in the volume of the Book it is written of me; I delight to do thy will, O my God” (Psa 40:7,8; Heb 10:7) he immediately went down to the...
