Who's fooling who?
stinsonmarri reacted to Gregory Matthews for a topic
HCH has posted a link in the above post, to a 24 minute video in which he explains how he has determined that the Bible informs us that President trump will be followed by a President Pence and not a President Biden. In short, he remains firm in his belief that Biden will not become President after President Trump. I remain firm in my belief that HCH's beliefs are not found in the Bible. Rather, they are a product of his own thinking. In the beginning of the video, he cites a long held SDA belief that in Biblical prophecy, a prophetic day represents a calendar year. This position is subject for debate in Adventism today. I am not going, in this post, to debate that issue. Regardless of the position that one takes on this issue, the debate is focused on whether or not the Bible teaches such. Those who hold to this position believe that it is taught by the Bible. In Biblical passages associated with End Time events the word "hour" is sometimes used. A common understanding of that word is that it is symbolic for a short period of time, without it referencing any specific period of time. That is the position that I hold. However, there hae been some in Adventism who have taken the position that the word "hour," when used in an End Time reference has a prophetic meaning that can be associated with their understanding that a prophetic day represents a calendar year. In that context, they have commonly believed that the prophetic hour represents about 15 days. The problem with that type of thinking is that regardless of what the Biblical teaching as to a prophetic day may be, there is no foundation in the Bible for a prophetic hour representing a longer time period of about two weeks. In actual fact, the idea that a there is a prophetic hour that represents about 15 days is totally the product of a human mind and it is without any Biblical support. In the linked video, HCH has come up with the idea that there is a prophetic hour, which symbolizes a specific period of time. He posits that this period of time is a period of 83 years and 4 months! I am not going into how he has come to the determination. I will say that this is totally the product of his mind, just as is the 15 day period held by some others. It is without Biblical support.1 point -

Different Ways That Ellen White Used the Bible (EWB 4)
phkrause reacted to news for a topic
When one is examining Ellen White’s use of Scripture, it is critically important to honor her intention in the use of that text. In order to do that, one has to pay close attention to the different ways she uses the Bible. First of all, it is important to determine whether Ellen White was intending […] The post Different Ways That Ellen White Used the Bible (EWB 4) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog.

Citing rise of ‘Christian nationalism,’ Secular Democrats unveil sweeping recommendations for Biden
CoAspen reacted to Gregory Matthews for a topic
I have followed up on the link that Photodude provided. It was interesting, as Photodude does make interesting and challenging comments. Frankly, I agree with some of the stated objectives of the Secular Democrats. * I believe that there are some things that should be taught by religious organizations and not promoted by civil government. * I believe that some in the U.S. promote civil government becoming involved in issues that properly belong to religious organizations. * Religious scholars today accept the fact that a religion can exist that does not have a God in the traditional understanding. This concept has been established into law for many decades. One example of this in that a long time ago the Courts ruled that the conscientious objector statutes related to military service can not require that a person believe in a traditional God. * There must be a balance between one's right to practice their religious beliefs and protections against discrimination. In the past, many people based their discrimination against providing services to African Americans upon their religious beliefs. I can remember walking into a bus station and seeing drinking fountains and bathrooms identified for "White" people and for "Colored" people. Commercial discrimination still exists today and must be eliminated. * Organizations that accept public funds to operate may rightfully be required to abide by the rules of civil government.1 point -
Ellen White’s Use of the Bible (EWB 3)
phkrause reacted to news for a topic
The role of inspiration is particularly problematic with regard to Ellen White’s use of Scripture. An interpreter with a strong preconceived idea can easily utilize Ellen White’s Scriptural quotations in such a way as to overthrow the plain meaning of the text in its biblical context. Let me provide a couple of examples. 1) When […] The post Ellen White’s Use of the Bible (EWB 3) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article1 point -
Ellen G. White and the Book of Revelation (EWB 2)
phkrause reacted to news for a topic
Adventist interpreters of Revelation share a deep appreciation of the writings of Ellen G. White. Her comments on the book of Revelation stimulate much productive insight, particularly with regard to the “big picture;” namely how the symbolic visions of Revelation contribute to the cosmic perspective often known as the “Great Controversy.” She was well aware […] The post Ellen G.

Who's fooling who?
phkrause reacted to stinsonmarri for a topic
Photodude: I am not going to lay down because you realize defeat. You would not be at rest, if Trump would have won. You would be worse than you have been in the past. You know that down in your heart, this man has made a complete idiot out of the Republican Party. Why? Because they wanted power! Ever since the Dixie Democrats took over the Republican Party, they have done everything they could to suppress the votes of Afrikan Americans, Latinos and the Native of Americans. You see, the wannabe historian knows why the Cubans voted Republican. The ones that escape from Cuba were the ones who wanted Cuba to be the way it was before Castro and communism took over. The stories in the public is about socialism; that is a bunch of junk. They were doing great because of the mafia, the casinos and hotels. The hospitality business was booming in Cuba and when Castro took over the Americans were kicked out! The large population of Cubans are White! They could care less about the cage children from South America. Let me give a simple brief history. The Spaniards came to South America brought the Afrikan slaves there first. These people mixed in with the native people. This also happen with the native people on all the Islands including both Haiti and Cuba. Cuba, however this island was the main trading block for Afrikan slaves. So, a lot of White Spanish, British, Dutch all came to live there dealing with the prosperous slave trade. Once the British who grew some small conscious stopped the slave trade. They had at that time the most powerful navy and no one could compete with them. The people of Haiti was the first drop off place. There was no true Dominican Republic at that time. The whole Island was called Hispaniola but more and more Afrikan slaves were brought to the Island. The history books said the fight was between the mixed mulattoes and the Afrikans majority in the western part of the Island. It was not it was between the Europeans who wanted control over the second largest Caribbean Island. In the end USA occupied the Island and it is still divided today. There is more detail, but the point is White power and supremacy. For the very first time, systematic racism has finally been open and not tucked away! It is changing the entire world and it had to start here. This is the source of the problem here that will make a difference every where. Now, I can let you know it was the Will of THE FATHER to allow Trump to be president. His cruelty, hatred would open the door that cannot be close. Biden has done what no President has ever done, set women free, which include people of color. Combine they are the most powerful voting block. But it is not about that at all, it is about the sealing of the 144,000. The TIME HAS COME! YAHWEH'S people, the remnant is about to be seal. Systematic racism was in the way and it has to be removed. So, Photodude, I cannot rest, it time to speak out and let it be known who is on YAHSHUA'S side. True Faith will conquer over sin! It is doing it now and it will continue until Satan, his evil messengers, the papacy, the Protestants, Judaic, Islam, Hindu and all other false religions will cease to exist. The wicked people shall burn and a new earth be made. Then I can rest, free from sin! Blessings!1 point -
Ellen G. White and the Bible
phkrause reacted to news for a topic
For Seventh-day Adventists the study of the book of Revelation always comes with a unique challenge. “The Bible and the Bible only” provides a call to exegete the Bible as God’s final authority on all matters of faith and practice. Yet Adventists value very highly the prophetic gift of Ellen G. White (1827-1915). What impact […] The post Ellen G. White and the Bible appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog.

Major LGBT Group Urges Biden to Strip Accreditation of Christian Schools, Colleges
JoeMo reacted to M. T. Cross for a topic
I would propose that he suggested that indeed. But the decision in the end was theirs. I think he was secure enough with his message that even if they chose otherwise he still showed them love and did not send them away. Sort of lead by example. If these schools are really serious about getting their message out, about teaching young people a way to live their lives, then making them feel like they don't belong, like they are to be cast away for what they are, for how they biologically feel inclined, is certainly not going to do a lot to bring them closer to the message of Christianity. That's the moral and spiritual side of it. On a more social side of it, the so called "free world" has been fighting for decade after decade to put an end to discrimination. I don't think any institution or group should be exempt from that fight.1 point -
Who's fooling who?
phkrause reacted to stinsonmarri for a topic
I respond to your post as you do to mine. The reason is to show the under current assault you are doing proves your action. Your discord with me is truly heartbreaking. It truly trouble's me, how can you believe this evil madman was sent from THE MOST HIGH? Pastor Kilpatrick proved my point about you and all who have been lead astray by Trump. He kept jumping back and forward saying fraud but not fraud. Then his thoughts on prophetic things are just like Henry's. He tried to twist his prophetic belief that Trump was suppose to win. Yet, he didn't but it was going to happen in the future! What kind of prophecies do you people continue to put out that fails. You then say; Oh, it's coming in the future. Henry falter when the votes came in; then he pick another Michal instead of Pence! Now, it could be Pompeo, then he jump back on Pence. Sounds confusing and ridiculous to me. That's what Kilpatrick sound as well, stating that Trump was dedicated over in the church. He says the church and not THE MOST HIGH has authority and power on the earth! Trump was anointed by god because he put the embassy back in Jerusalem and he is the true one for Israel. These people took on the false belief of Judaism that is not of YAHWEH at all! They believe in the Talmud more than the OT. Those people do not serve YAHWEH, I know I lived there! They smoke like smoke stacks, they drink, eat pork. Yes, they close down business and buses on the Sabbath, but they break it by doing their own pleasure on HIS HOLY DAY! The Orthodox who are wealthy are filthy and live in the ghettos. They mistreat and abuse their wives, it is awful! They will kill and have because they keep the Sabbath in the most restrictive way. There much more I could tell you. My point is I will not let you make unjust comments, with again, an undercurrent of hatred. Who are the pigs and dogs, those who commit adultery, cusses, lie constantly, steal, cheat, deceived the people and who holds a Bible upside down! This is breaking outwardly the Commandments of ELOHIYM! So, if you write unjust comments, I will respond with truth according to the Bible! Happy Sabbath and Standing for Justice and Truth! Your wannabe Historian!1 point -

It is to sad that you did not understand the entire comment that was given. However, those who are wise will. You on the other hand as usually give assaults and try to use the Bible and EGW. So here is Matt 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest and turn again and rend you. Jesus here refers to a class who have no desire to escape from the slavery of sin. By indulgence in the corrupt and vile their natures have become so degraded that they cling to the evil and will not be separated from it. The servants of Christ should not allow themselves to be hindered by those who would make the gospel only a matter of contention and ridicule. “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs.”—Matthew 7:6 MB p. 129 How have those who have had every opportunity to know the truth become defiled with the corruptions of the ungodly? “It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. Thy silver has become dross; thy wine mixed with water. . . Those represented in these words have mingled the sacred with the common. They profess to believe the truth; but they cannot carry dishonest practices in the narrow road and through the strait gate. By their actions they show that they have chosen the road in which the world travels. . . But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence you are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing to teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west and from the north and from the south and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. . . . When men show that the fruit they bear is the fruit of the forbidden tree, beware lest by connecting with them you lose your connection with God. The knowledge gained by a connection with them is misleading and confusing. You cannot be a savor of life unto life to them, for they will not appreciate the Word of God. Beware of men who give evidence that God is not working with them. Because of the fruit they bear, those who are working in accordance with correct principles are dishonored. “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine.” The Pearl of Great Price; Ms p. 154 You have been deceived by an evil man who refused to accept his defeat. He is so awful and full of hate that he is destroying the Government. A decent person who have a peaceful transition. Not him! You have cast your lot with man just like Satan. When he was kick out of Heaven and realized he could never return. He sought to destroy everything YAHWEH created. He tried with the other worlds they refused him. Then he turned on earth that was not even created. Trump is taken many down with him with his hatred and his, I can't say it, lawyer who sweats dye! Who keep losing in court! What a pair! YAHWEH'S WORD will be heard and the messenger who have the seal of YAHWEH knows soon, who will come in THE POWER of THE HOLY SPIRIT like Elijah. Corrupt Israel today who have let the truth will fall. You should watch the tapes. You won't be horrified they are just what you believe! Happy Sabbath, it won't be long!1 point -

I like to show first the tape that HCH accepted to be according to his god. Now I did not use the low case. Henry did himself and if click on youtube you will see it. But I would to present two video the first the actual sermon of John Kilpatrick. Folks you will hear from this man's mouth that god anointed Trump and other nonsense. The actual tape you cannot download because it was not suppose to known. It is located in John Kilpatrick facebook the first of Could this be Jezebel Last Stand. The one I got is from youtube and you tell someone put it there and Kilpatrick's mouth is going faster, but you can get the message. The second tape is the Supernatural and it is a douzy and he is supposed to dream that god told him that Trump will be president. Reason is about him aiding Israel more than the other Presidents. He also suppose be against abortion, really? I just want to watch these two unbelievable videos and see how the Evangelical are against THE MOST HIGH! Jezebel Video by Pastor John Kilpatrick of the Church of His Presence CHP You have got to watch them it is unbelievable! Happy Sabbath!1 point
