Adventist Politics: The following article suggests that there was once a time when the SDA Church was more politically active than it is now. https://spectrummagazine.org/views/the-politics-of-adventist-patriotism/

(N) Acts 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

In short: The so-called investigative judgment is a judgment of God, and not of you and I. It comes from a perspective that there is a universe of created beings who have not sinned against God and are aware of the rebellion of Satan and what has happened on Earth. The questions that need to be resolved are these: Has sin been removed from those on Earth who have been granted the right to spend an eternity with God? Is there a danger that sin might arise again in the person of one of those people whom God had granted the right to live in eternity with God? Is God just in saving some and not others? Properly understood, the investigative judgment presents God as righteous and just to all intelligent created beings, including us.

A Mental Health Seminar will be held at the Gracepoint SDA Church (Rocklin, CA) on six Tuesday evenings, in October and November of 2024. The seminar is free. Childcare, if needed, is free. A light supper will be provided free of charge. Further information is provided below, along with contact points for more information registration. Typically, Gracepoint video tapes their programs for viewing online at later times. I am seeking information as to whether or not that will be done this time. When I have that information, I will post it. Edit: Sorry, the seminar will not be recorded. It will not be available for viewing at a later time.

Politics: The following article will inform, as well as challenge, you're thinking on the place of politics in Adventism. https://spectrummagazine.org/views/the-politics-of-adventist-patriotism/

I read and realize it is a sad day that so many who use the word Christian do not follow the actual teachings of YAHSHUA. That is to love your neighbor and not force or imprison your neighbor. YAHWEH did not force Satan or his angels; HE gave them a choice. Heaven is HIS Home, and you respect someone's Home! The United States is a country with many different people, cultures, and beliefs. Joshua said to choose whom you will serve, but he would serve YAHWEH at his house! Public school means public and is not for people to force their beliefs on anyone nor to put the Commandment up that they don't observe themselves! When you accept a liar, a wanna-be dictator, and three wives and cheat on all of them. Saying things to cause harm to others is totally against YAHWEH'S Principles. We are to provide the message with love. I have studied, and I see without a doubt that the word Christian, which is mentioned only three times, is not what I choose to be called. None of the apostles or disciples called themselves that word. They call themselves The Way after YAHSHUA'S saying! I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE! (John 14:6) My choice is to follow HIM, like the disciples and the apostles! I called myself The Way! Sadly, many SDAs have lost their way to accept a person who does not have the Character of YAHSHUA! HE never forced anyone. Instead, HE died for all to choose HIM and LIFE! That is called freedom. Finally, I was so sad to read that Ben Carson, whom I knew very well, and Candice, now his wife, were dating at Yale. I lived in New Haven. My mother would feed them both on Sabbath and provide them with food to take back to campus. My brother did, too, and my sister was friends with Candice. She was studying music and played the Viola! YAHWEH gave Ben an incredible gift, and he became a famous doctor. But he never used his gift to help the poor only to become rich! My brother and his wife visited Ben and Candice at their home! I can say more, but seeing him be a part of 2025 was upsetting enough. We are in the last days and see the truth concerning Matt 24:1-14. The Public School is just one of the many things that 2025 is against YAHWEH! The church has failed by accepting many things that the pioneer started the Advent Movement. EGW said that the church had errors made in her day and that they will happen in the future. We should not hold on to them, and she warned that many accept the leaders instead of studying for themselves like the Bereans. TM p. 106-119 We need to check today how we have followed the Protestant world churches instead of keeping our Advent Moment of truth alive! 2025 is a result of Satan's trying to change the prophecies of truth! May YAHWEH have mercy on our souls! Blessings!

Geology: The following article is interesting in that it challenges a current view. https://adventistreview.org/news/adventist-geologist-calls-into-question-scientific-assumptions/

What actually happened when Israel returned from Babylon? Compared to the texts we’ve been reading, the fulfillment was disappointing. Remember principle 2: God is not predictable. There were many residents of Israel and Judah who read the texts of Hosea, Micah, Isaiah, and others. I can imagine them making out charts to outline in advance […] The post Fulfilled Prophecy After the Return from Exile appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article
