? I will do it ? John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

When the discussions is on the Catechism and the Catholic teaching of the supposed personalities of THE ALMIGHTY ONES, the Bible contradicts them both. Throughout the Bible, it proves that the Law and the Commandments are binding. YAHWEH Stated about Abraham is clear: Because that Abraham obeyed MY VOICE, and kept MY Charge, MY Commandments, MY Statutes, and MY Laws. Gen 26:5 YAHSHUA in THE NAME of HIS FATHER stood before the 70 elders, Aaron, Abihu, Nadad, Moses and Joshua. They all saw HIM and they did not die! YAHSHUA in THE NAME of HIS FATHER Said to Moses: And YAHWEH said unto Moses, Come up to ME into the Mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a Law, and Commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. Ex24:12 Then at the end, when sin has been eradicated along with Satan, his angels and the wicked; again HE Said: Blessed are they that do HIS Commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of LIFE, and may enter in through the Gates into the City. Rev 22:14 When EGW spoke concerning the personalities of THE ALMIGHTY ONES, she still at that time believed as a Methodist, as most pioneers kept some of their old beliefs of their Protestant views. However, as EGW became closer to the truth, she wrote some outstanding truths: The Bible, and the Bible alone, is to be our creed, the sole bond of union; all who bow to this Holy Word will be in harmony. Our own views and ideas must not control our efforts. Man is fallible, but God's Word is Infallible.—SM, bk. 1, p. 416 The Bible and the Bible alone, is our rule of faith. Review and Herald, 1938 God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible, and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms. The GC p. 595 We must not for a moment think that there is no more light, no more truth, to be given us. We are in danger of becoming careless by our indifference losing the sanctifying power of truth and composing ourselves with the thought, ‘I am rich, and increased with goods and have need of nothing’ Rev. 3:17. While we must hold fast to the truths which we have already received, we must not look with suspicion upon any new light that God may send. GW, p. 310 Finally, before her death she made it powerfully clear where she stand: We are not to think, as did the Jews, that our own ideas and opinions are infallible; nor with the papists, are that certain individuals the sole guardians of truth and knowledge, that men have no right to search the Scriptures for themselves, but must accept the explanations given by the fathers of the church. We should not study the Bible for the purpose of sustaining our preconceived opinions, but with the single object of learning what God has Said. Some have feared that if in even a single point they acknowledge themselves in error; other minds would be led to doubt the whole theory of truth. Therefore they have felt that investigation should not be permitted, that it would tend to dissension and disunion. But if such is to be the result of investigation, the sooner it comes the better. If there are those whose faith in God's WORD will not stand the test of an investigation of the Scriptures, the sooner they are revealed the better; for then the way will be opened to show them their error. We cannot hold that a position once taken, an idea once advocated, is not, under any circumstances, to be relinquished. There is but ONE who is INFALLIBLE--HE who IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE. Those who allow prejudice to bar the mind against the reception of truth cannot receive the divine enlightenment. Yet, when a view of Scripture is presented, many do not ask, is it true--in harmony with God's WORD? But, by whom is it advocated and unless it comes through the very channel that pleases them, they do not accept it. So thoroughly satisfied are they with their own ideas that they will not examine the Scripture evidence with a desire to learn, but refuse to be interested, merely because of their prejudices. TM p. 105, 106 Words had being changed in the Bible that EGW also spoke about in Early Writings p. 220, 221, that YAHSHUA showed her HIMSELF! In Hebrew 1:3, the Protestant's took from the Catholic creed the word hupostasis which actually means standing under: Hupostasis is a very common word from Aristotle on and was used in Greek to describe that which stands under anything such as a building, a contract, a promise. It is common in the papyri in business documents as the basis or guarantee of transactions or with the meaning of a title deed. Thus one translation renders it "Faith is the title-deed of things hoped for." George Brooks adds that...Faith does not put all its confidence in the present and the visible. Faith is to our hopes what a deed is to a piece of property. The deed guarantees ownership for the owner. In Hebrews 1:3 the Son is such a revelation of the Father that when we see Jesus, we see what God's real being is. Hebrews 1:3 (note) And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Comment: Christ is the very representation of the divine essence. The author is conveying the truth that whatever the divine essence is, Jesus is said to be its perfect expression and in so doing affirms the deity of Jesus Christ. The etymological equivalent of hupostasis in English is "substance" or that which stands under a thing and which makes it what it is. The Son is such a revelation of the Father that when we see Jesus, we see what God's real being is.) Robertson commenting on the use of hupostasis in Hebrews 1:3 writes that... The word hupostasis for the being or essence of God “is a philosophical rather than a religious term” (Moffatt). Etymologically it is the sediment or foundation under a building (for instance). In Hebrews 11:1 hupostasis is like the “title-deed” idea found in the papyri. Athanasius rightly used Heb. 1:1-4 in his controversy with Arius. (Robertson, A. Word Pictures in the New Testament) Wuest writes that... The word “substance” deserves careful treatment. It is hupostasis, made up of stasis “to stand,” and hupo “under,” thus “that which stands under, a foundation.” Thus it speaks of the ground on which one builds a hope. Moulton and Milligan report its use as a legal term. They say that it stands for “the whole body of documents bearing on the ownership of a person’s property, deposited in archives, and forming the evidence of ownership.” They suggest the translation, “Faith is the title-deed of things hoped for.” The Holy Spirit energized act of faith which a believer exercises in the Lord Jesus is the title-deed which God puts in his hand, guaranteeing to him the possession of the thing for which he trusted Him. In the case of this first-century Jew, his act of faith in Messiah as High Priest would be the title-deed which God would give him, guaranteeing to him the possession of the salvation for which he trusted God. Thus, he would have assurance. Vincent translates, “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for.” He says that “It is the firm grasp of faith on unseen fact.” (Wuest, K. S. Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New Testament: Eerdmans or Logos) Text Sermons : Greek Word Studies : Assurance (5287) hupostasis The word person is not in there but if you study history you will find that the Catholic writers of the early church changed it from substance to personalities. THE ALMIGHTY ONES are SPIRITUAL BEINGS; THEY ARE NOT flesh and blood. We are! It is the belief that the popes who who all are persons, flesh beings can be made equal to THEM. By using Zeus and theos as an example because the false belief they mix with human flesh, they can twix this idea. Trying to make THE ALMIGHTY ONES to be persons to connect that the papacy can be them here on earth. It is no wonder that HCH felt that Satan could be MICHAEL because of the teaching all who call themself Protestants teach. The exact same creed of faith that the Nicene Creed and the Catechism teaches and practice. It is not the people themselves, it is the teachings of the Church that Constantine made! The Romans both believed in Greece mythology along with Mithra. Constantine brought back the faith and worship of Nimrod that Daniel saw in Chapter 7. The Lion-Babylon, the bear-Persia and the leopard-Greece. They were combined into the fourth beast and that is what John saw. All of the beliefs systems together. How? Through Constantine and the Nicene Creed along with the Catechism! Blessings!

The Ministry Of Clouds Most of us Church people tend to live in a sort of fretful, treadmill kind of life, something like the lowly Hamster going round and round in their wheel, where they can calculate and control, almost everything that will happen in their life. It is apparent in Scripture that the souls whom God leads out into immediate and special dealings, He also shuts them in where all they know is that God has hold of them, and is dealing with them, and that their expectation is from Him alone. And yes, sometimes, most times, God is in the thick dark cloud. Like many Christians before us, like many of the Bible greats, we must be detached from outward things, and many things that surround us, and attach inwardly to Jesus alone; in order to see there in our darkest clouds, His love, mercy, and grace within our own personal experience today. Even in the hardest trials God often makes us aware of the best discoveries of Himself. But being human, oft-times we see the following coming true: Read FULL TEXT HERE
