July 8, 2024 In 1983, I spent 33 days on the Island of Grenada. As such, I have a perception of the country, island and the work of the SDA church in Grenada. I have to believe that the SDA Church has suffered severe, major, damage from Hurricane Beryl. I am unable to obtain information as to what has happened. The following link takes you to an article that is clearly out of date. It can only hint, in my thinking, as to the real damage that has been done. As I learn more, I will update the information. https://interamerica.org/2024/07/adventist-church-begins-assessing-damage-in-the-aftermath-of-hurricane-beryl/

I study the language and what the Bible says. First, the Paleo Hebrew language is a Kanaanite language. The Kanaanites knew YAHWEH before Abraham arrived in Kanaan! When you view the true NAME, EL is singular, and ELOHIYM is plural. Paul wrote the Book of Hebrew, and he made it clear. I am a historian by degree and have studied independently and in several colleges. My education has been questioned here because I disagree with my denomination's treatment of EGW (Ellen G White), who stated emphatically she was not a prophet but a messenger. I also accepted the TRUE SACRED NAMES and have many Bible and studied manuscripts and other writings. I understand that the Kanaanites and some Philistines knew and served YAHWEH for centuries. This is in the Bible Gen Chapter Fourteen and Chapter Twenty! However, they, too, begin to fail, so Abraham becomes chosen! He had to learn the truth, and many did not understand some truth of THE UNITY of THE ELOHIYM! My journey towards this understanding began with my mother's search for a church that observed the true Sabbath. I was five years old, born in 1950. At that time, the SDA church did not believe in the trinity. EGW, a pioneer and messenger whom I deeply respect, also did not believe in the trinity; she believed in the FATHER and the SON, as did most early pioneers in my faith. Her writings, including MR No. 1107—The Importance of Unity; The Holy Spirit a Mystery, strongly advocated that the trinity is untrue. I will provide what the Bible said using many versions, defining words through the Oxford Dictionary, Etymology Online Dictionary, Strong Hebrew, and Greek. Please keep in mind that the truth is finally coming out about the Kanaanites: Israeli archaeologists have found an ancient comb dating back some 3,700 years ago and bearing what is likely the oldest known full sentence in Kanaanite alphabetical script, according to an article published Wednesday. Science X Network Hear, O Israel, YAHWEH our ELOHIYM is YAHWEH echâd. (Deut 6:4) [HRB] echâd- A numeral from H258; properly united. Strong Hebrew Dictionary Proof United: Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall become one (echâd, unified) flesh. (Gen 2:24) [HRB] In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with ELOHIYM, and THE WORD was ELOHIYM. HE was in the beginning with ELOHIYM. Everything existed through HIS HANDS, and without HIM, not even one thing existed of the things which have existed. HE was THE TRUE LIGHT; which lighted every man that cometh into the world. THE WORD became flesh and made HIS dwelling among us. We have seen HIS GLORY, THE GLORY OF THE ONE and ONLY SON COEXISTENCE WITH THE FATHER, full of GRACE and TRUTH. (John 1:1-3, 9, 14) [WOY, T2009, BSB, HRB and Definitions from Oxford Languages] ELOHIYM, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS SON, whom HE hath appointed HEIR of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds; who being THE BRIGHTNESS of HIS GLORY and the Exact REPRESENTATION of HIS BEING, and upholding all things by THE POWERS of HIS WORD; when HE had by HIMSELF purged our sins, sat down on THE RIGHT HAND of THE MAJESTY on HIGH. (Heb 1:1-3) ) [WOY, T2009, BSB, HRB and Definitions from Oxford Languages] Dia is the Greek word for by I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and THE ANCIENT of DAYS did sit, whose garment was White as Snow, and THE HAIR of HIS HEAD like the Pure Wool: HIS Throne was like the fiery flame, and HIS Wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before HIM: thousand thousands ministered unto HIM, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before HIM: The Judgment was set, and the books were opened. I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like THE SON of Adam came with the clouds of Heaven, and came to THE ANCIENT of DAYS, and they brought HIM near before HIM. And there was given HIM DOMINION, and HONOR, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve HIM: HIS DOMINION is AN EVERLASTING DOMINION, which shall not pass away, and HIS Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. But the king of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days. But, lo, MICHAEL, ONE of THE FIRST RULERS, came to help me. And I stayed there with the kings of Persia. And at that time shall MICHAEL stand up, THE GREAT PRINCE which standeth for the nations of people, and there shall be a Time of Trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time the people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (Dan 7:9,13, 14;10:13;12:1) [WOY] I AM ALPHA and OMEGA, THE BEGINNING and THE ENDING, saith YAHSHUA EL, which IS, and which WAS, and which is to COME, ALMIGHTY. And I saw in THE RIGHT HAND of HIM that SAT on the Throne a Book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, THE LION of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the Book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the Throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood A LAMB as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits (angels) of ELOHIYM sent forth into all the earth. And HE came and took the Book out of THE RIGHT HAND of HIM that sat upon the Throne. And when HE had taken the Book, the four beasts (angels) and four and twenty elders fell down before THE LAMB, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And behold, I come quickly; and MY reward is with ME, to give every man according as his work shall be. I AM ALPHA and OMEGA, THE BEGINNING and THE END, THE FIRST and THE LAST. (Rev 1:8; 5:1, 5-8; 22:12, 13) What is 1 John 5 7 in the Catholic Bible? The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth. 7 So there are three that testify, 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and the three are of one accord. 9 If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. (2024 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) Why was the Trinity rejected? The Encyclopedia Britannica (11th edition) states: "To some Christians the doctrine of the Trinity appeared inconsistent with the unity of God. ... they therefore denied it, and accepted Jesus Christ, not as incarnate God, but as God's highest creature by whom all else was created. ... Still, even the added wording does not proclaim the Trinity doctrine by itself… Again, the word Trinity did not come into common use as a religious term until after the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, several centuries after the last books of the New Testament were complete. It is not a biblical concept. United Church of God 3. THE PASSAGE WAS NEVER CITED IN THE TRINITARIAN DEBATES There is something else which must be appreciated. If this verse was actually part of First John, it is inconceivable that it would not have been used in the Trinitarian debates of the fourth century. However, neither side has ever cited it as a reference to the Trinity. It is missing from the writings of Christians such as Irenaeus (died about A.D. 200), Clement (died about A.D. 210), Tertullian (who died around A.D. 220) and Athanasius (who died in A.D. 373). If this verse were found in the text of First John, it would have been the primary verse used in these debates, but it was never cited! Finally, I believe in the Bible, and translations, including transliterations, have covered up or selected words that cause many to become confused and misinterpret the Bible. It saddens me that many people will be lost due to the lack of knowledge or become delusional and believe a lie. (Hosea 4:6 and 2Thess 2:11,12) Spiritual beings are THE FATHER, SON, and THE HOLY SPIRIT. YAHSHUA made the angels, and they are also spiritual beings, including those who have fallen. We do not know what the spirit body is made of and do not need to speculate. We do know THE ELOHIYM have eyes, hands, feet, and mouths, and the Adams, male, and female, were made to resemble THEM! We know THEY eat food. Also, the angels have no gender. The Catholic Church rejects 1 John 5:7 because the number three is a separate individual number and not the same as Tri, which is a part or one-third to make a whole! The Greeks have always accepted other pagan gods and combined them with their philosophy. The Romans and the Greeks worshiped Mithras of the Persians and called him Jesus. A lot needs to be learned about how they combined all the ancient religions when Constantine became Emperor and Pope! I do not want anyone to accuse me of trying to make you believe! Truth is a choice! I offer truth and all must study what is offer and work out their own soul salvation through THE HOLY SPIRIT! There is only one truth according to the Bible. Beware it is up to everyone to be obedient to the Word over man. That is the problem with those who follow Trump! What I have provided exposes the 1925 Project! Blessings!
