Last Generation Theology is being advocated by some in Adventism. the following article discusses it. https://spectrummagazine.org/news/mark-finley-nets-last-generation-theology-attention/

In my travels across the Internet, I came across an interesting SDA video entitled Christianity in the Crossfire. It seems to deal with the question as to how we can be compassionate and abide by the law. It seems to be to be a little bit amateur in its presentation but, at the same time the speaker clearly has a scholarly background. Give it a try and you just may find it of interest and of value. https://nadadventist.zoom.us/rec/play/JSxJGLI2JQpZlALXNOlg1KbTFD9AJjI1xdSz4vAaKFl0TgF7tcjlvJI2pUFevp_x4YzgkfbFS4uOFuwL.MzUffjZExTQ3VHVN?eagerLoadZvaPages=sidemenu.billing.plan_management&accessLevel=meeting&canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&continueMode=true&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fnadadventist.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2FD4u4jyxjynY2wwDhD_5Xexp6HRn69u73gn3BEpelnyVpmqIEYLJov-c8qjvyAMNH.mnMtv04bCTXcv_CA&autoplay=true&startTime=1763476513000

* The Ten Commandments is not the primary reason that Seventh-day Adventists teach that Christians should keep the Sabbath. * The SDA teaching on the Sabbath is founded on their belief in the Creation story in early Genesis in which God set apart a 7th day to met with humanlity and grow us spiritualy.

Here is Kirk Cameron who has publicly announced a change in his long-held views on Hell. Previously accepting the view of eternal conscious torment for the wicked, he now rejects it, calling such a fate 'cruel and unusual punishment.' Cameron says that the Bible, especially in its Old Testament writing, does not depict the souls of the wicked as immortal. Instead, the only souls promised eternal life ' immortality' are those granted to believers. https://endtimeheadlines.org/2025/12/kirk-cameron-no-longer-believes-in-eternal-punishment/ ...Kirk Cameron no longer believes in eternal punishment (OPINION) In a recent episode of his show, Kirk Cameron publicly announced a change in his long-held views on Hell.

Here is a expansive explanation.. "Writing to the believers in Colossae, Paul cautioned, "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ" (Col. 2:16, 17).1 Many have concluded that the "sabbath" in this passage refers to the seventh day and that this day is no longer binding upon Christians.2 More recently, those promoting the Levitical festivals have similarly claimed that Colossians 2:16 deals with the weekly Sabbath, but that it should be observed together with the feasts and new moons. Seventh-day Adventists, however, have generally maintained that the context shows that this refers to the ceremonial sabbaths. In the landmark Handbook of Seventh-day Adventist Theology, Professor Kenneth Strand hinted at a structural approach to the "feast, new moon, sabbath" trilogy: "It is also possible that Paul was using the common literary device of inverted parallelism [i.e., a chiasm], thus moving from annual to monthly and then back again to annual festivals"3—thus affirming the ceremonial sabbath view of Adventism. Where does the weight of biblical evidence lie? Apparently, while Paul was in prison in Rome,4 Epaphras visited him (Philem. 23), informing him of the spiritual growth of the Colossian church (Col. 1:3–8; 2:5) as well as of the heretical teachings making inroads there (Col. 2:1–23). This heresy is nowhere identified, so dozens of theories regarding it have been proposed.5 However, since at least 1966, scholars have concluded that "it is no longer fitting to discuss a possible influence of 'Gnosticism' upon the Colossian Religion or its refutation."6 In recent decades, serious Bible scholars, focusing on the scriptural text, have concluded that the challenge in Colossae had to do with "thought patterns with which Paul was very much at home—that is, some form of Jewish spirituality rather than Gnostic speculation or mystery cult initiation."7 The major theological thrust of this epistle is a correct view of Christ—"the visible manifestation of the invisible God"8 (Col. 1:15)—a Christology cogently related to salvation (Col. 1:13, 14; cf. 2:11–15), with profound implications for ethical living (Col. 3:4–4:6). The single great message of Colossians may thus be summed up in the declaration, "Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us" (Col. 3:11, NLT).9 Astutely, Charles Talbert noted that "it is against the background of this salvific narrative that the arguments of the Colossian letter unfold."10 Analyzing the structure of Colossians 2 Colossians 2:16 begins with "therefore" (KJV, RSV), indicating that the caution being sounded arises from what has been outlined earlier;11 and that, as commentators acknowledge, "verses 12 and 13 are central to the appeal of the letter."12 Ian Thomson has demonstrated that these two verses are the peak of a chiasm that extends throughout most of Colossians 2 (see figure 1). Figure 1: Colossians 2 Chiasm Introduction: 2:6 "As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him" A 2:7 "Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith" B 2:8 "Beware lest anyone cheat you . . . not according to Christ" C 2:9 "In Him dwells . . . the Godhead bodily;" 10a "You are complete in Him" D. 2:10b "Who is the head of all principality and power" E 2:11 "Circumcised with the circumcision made without hands" F 2:12 "Buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised" F1 2:13 "Dead in your transgressions . . . He made you alive together with Him"13 E1 2:14 "Wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us" D1 2:15 "Having disarmed principalities and powers" C1 2:16 "Let no one pass judgment;" 17 "But the body is Christ's"14 B1 2:18 "Let no one cheat you;" 19a "Not holding fast to the Head" A1 2:19b "Nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows"15 By recognizing "that chiasmus pervades Colossians"16 and "by appreciating the divisions and development of these thoughts within this significant letter, one may follow Paul's thought with added clarity."17 Interpreting the cheirographon tois dogmasin The above chiastic structure reveals that "the handwriting of requirements" (of v. 14, NKJV) corresponds linguistically to "the circumcision made without hands" (of v. 11).18 Thus, it is preferable to formally translate cheirographon as a literal "handwriting" or its equivalent;19 and that structurally and contextually, this "written code, with its regulations" (NIV) echoes the ceremonial regulation of circumcision. This unique term cheirographon is immediately qualified by tois dogmasin. Since written by the same author, covering similar issues, and sent to recipients of the same region, some have concluded that the "dogmasin" in Ephesians 2:15 sheds light on Colossians 2:14,20 thus making "reference to the Mosaic Law."21 Contemporaneously, Josephus and Philo likewise used dogma for Mosaic Law.22 Several scholars concur,23 noting that this is supported by most of the Greek church fathers and "is grammatically without problems."24 Though he frequently employed nomos for Old Testament law, Paul apparently did not use it here, so as (a) to avoid the impression that the entire Mosaic Law had been abrogated; and (b) to focus attention directly on the ceremonial law25—elements of which are listed in 2:16.26 As David Pao concludes in his 2012 exegetical commentary, "Even though a strict identification with the Mosaic Torah cannot be made," the cheirographon "should be understood in relation to the Mosaic law."27 Colossians 2:14 has been recently recognized as "one of the most vivid descriptions in the New Testament of what happened when Jesus died."28 "He [i.e., Christ] forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross" (Col. 2:13b, 14, NIV). John Heil observed that "the metaphor is convoluted, but presumably reflects again the idea of Christ's death as a sin offering."29 In brief, by formulating this daring metaphor,30 Paul directly connected forgiveness through Christ (v. 13b) to the "written code, with its regulations" (v. 14), which had required sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins, as well as to the death of Christ, by which these ritual requirements were "canceled" (Greek: exaleipsas, i.e., "abolishing a law"31). By His death, Christ consummated the ritual system—He "has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the cross" (Col. 2:14, HCSB). In Ellen White's words, "The ceremonial system was made up of symbols pointing to Christ. . . . It is this law that Christ 'took . . . out of the way, nailing it to His cross.' Colossians 2:14."32 These "regulations" that "stood opposed to us" allude to Old Testament laws that were " 'a witness against you' " (Deut. 31:26, NKJV),33 which Peter called a " 'yoke,' " " 'which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear' " (Acts 15:10, NKJV).34 Fittingly employing a Christological hermeneutic, Seventh-day Adventists Believe . . . summarizes, "At the death of Christ the jurisdiction of ceremonial law came to an end. His atoning sacrifice provided forgiveness for all sins. This act 'wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross' (Col. 2:14; cf. Deut. 31:26)."35 Verse 15 then reveals, as Dermot McDonald notes, "Christ the crucified is Lord; and all the hostile powers of the universe have become subjected to him. In Christ's cross the demonic hosts of evil have met their Conqueror."36 With this background, we can now proceed to verse 16, which begins, "So let no one judge you in food or in drink" (NKJV). Reflecting upon "judge," food and drink" Colossians 1:21, 22, 27, and 2:13 give the distinct impression that the Colossian church was predominantly Gentile, though Jews were certainly present37 and apparently formed "a significant Jewish element within the church,"38 for history records that "Colossae had a significant Jewish population."39 Based on similarities with Galatians,40several interpreters have concluded that the Colossian "heretics" were Jews or Judaizers,41 though chapter 2:21 suggests that the restrictions proposed went far beyond the Jewish law.42 David Garland states, "Newly formed Gentile Christians in Colossae are being badgered about their faith by contentious Jews"43 and were "being called upon to observe times and seasons as somehow necessary for their salvation."44 Paul's counsel is strong: "Let no one, then, judge you" (YLT). The word judge (krinetō) contextually means to "pass unfavorable judgment upon."45 As the New Living Translation has paraphrased it: "So don't let anyone condemn you for . . . not celebrating certain holy days."46 Before considering the terms feast, new moon, sabbath, a comment needs to be made regarding the "food and drink." While brōsis and posis may designate "eating" and "drinking," they are better rendered contextually with the nouns "food" and "drink," as in formal translations (ESV, NAB, NASB, NKJV, NRSV, etc.).47 Since the "food and drink come in the context of circumcision and the observance of special days,"48 it appears "these words doubtless refer to the meal and drink offerings presented by the Israelites."49" ... No “rest” for the “Sabbath” of Colossians 2:16: A structural-syntactical- semantic study

Amen!!! He is growing! Keep him in our prayers.

The Ark of the Covenant has never been discovered and is the subject of much speculation. In 2 Maccabees 2:4ff, we are told that Jeremiah hid it on Mt. Nebo and that it would not be discovered until aa later time. NOTE: My source for this is a digital course on the Old Testament, by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, in a series by The Teaching Company. If you want to know more about her, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy-Jill_Levine "In spring 2019 she taught New Testament at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, the first Jew to do so, and she has had multiple audiences with Pope Francis."

There are also scholars who believe that it was dismantled in the time of Manasseh. One problem with the 2 Maccabees quote is the relationship between Jeremiah and the Ark. The Hebrews had two priestly families. One was the descendants of Eleazar, which was very Arronite. The other possibly Ithamar, but very much the family of Moses. The differences could be compared to two different denominations of the ancient YAHWHIST religion. While the ark was important in the Moses priesthoods for a while, after coming back from the Philistines it became more important to the Arronites. We talk about the "United Monarchy" of Saul, David and Solomon. But in the days of the judges the northern tribes and Judah pretty much formed into two nations. David was king of Judah for 7 years, meaning about 5 years David was king of Judah while Saul was king of Israel. Then David became king of both Judah and Israel, more of two countries sharing a king. Then after Solomon they divided. The accusations of how evil Samuel's sons were may have been more political than actual evil, since we find Samuel's descendants getting very involved with the religion and politics of the southern kingdom, and it was people of the north that complained about them. The descendants of Eleazar were the temple priests, and the ark became the center of their worship. The northern tribes became less interested in the ark. An interesting thing about the Deuteronomic History (Joshua - Kings, maybe Deuteronomy) has stories of how God blesses people, but often people turn their blessing into curses. And there are curses from God that God turns into blessings. (The prophecy that Eli's house would not have old men... an unusual number of the men in the family became prophets and Bible writers. Prophets have a tendency of not making it to become old men.) The northern tribes were based more on the Book of the Law, while the south more on Leviticus (and the book of the law got lost). When you follow the curses in the Deuteronomic history, while some had a local situations that affected say the rise of David; most of the major curses you can follow over the Deuteronomic history and most of them land on one man-- Jeremiah. Had the northern kingdom not fallen, Jeremiah would have been the high priest of the north. Hezekiah gave some room for the priests from the north for ministry. And when the book of the law was found in the temple, since Jeremiah's background was based more on the book of the law, he was the natural source for understanding it. But Jeremiah was only allowed in a section on the edge of the temple. He and his ancestors were under the curse and the rest of the temple was off limits to them under the penalty of death. The Ark did not mean much to Jeremiah. It would have been important to Ezekiel. If the story was Ezekiel took it and hid it, there could be more credibility. But for it being applied to Jeremiah would be similar to saying that Ellen White took and hid the Shroud of Turin to protect it.

The following article addresses the issue so-called Christian Parenting and a book that has been published on the subject. The book suggests that Christian Parenting is a myth. https://atoday.org/the-problem-with-biblical-parenting/

The following article is quite informative as to Last Generation Theology. It references an entire book that has been written on the subject. In short, it calls it heresy. https://spectrummagazine.org/views/analysis/finleys-last-generation-theology-turn-off-lgt-light/

Last Generation Theology, as being advocated by some, may have, in my opinion, some variations and may not always mean exactly the same. The Seminary has published a book, currently selling for about $30, which attempts to explain and analyze it. The following is a review of that book, which I suggest will be helpful. https://www.ministrymagazine.org/archive/2018/12/Gods-character-and-the-last-generation

Stephen Bohr has an excellent series on this. The 24 elders are the sons of God mentioned in Job--representatives of the unfallen worlds.This scenario was the one Adam would have attended as representative of this world had he not sinned/ You will notice Rev 4 speaks about God and His Creative power--no mention of Jesus-yet the 24 are there. It is in Rev 5 that Jesus returns to Heaven. This would be found in his "The Return of the War Hero" Here are the various videos:Mission Accomplished The Return of the War Hero Who Are The 24 Elders?

I have not seen the video in question yet. However, P Finley's sermons are excellent. He has certainly improved over time. His messages are fitting for the end times. As I read that article, it appears to be an attack on P. Mark Finley.

You will find different suggestions as to who the 24 Elders are. Some of these suggestions may not be mutually exclusive to another. The one that I seem to hear the most is based on speculation that those who rose with the passion of Jesus, that he took to heaven with him must be the 24 elders. I've found the most convincing the view suggested by my professors from Atlantic Union College, and for a different reason, was also suggested by my professor at the Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies. Both suggest that the 24 Elders are symbolic of how heaven actively communicates with the church on earth through the testimony of the 12 tribes (the Old Testament/TANAK) and the testimony of the 12 apostles (the New Testament.), or simply the Bible. The professors at AUC start out with the 4 living creatures. In the exodus the Hebrews camped in a square. The tabernacle was in the middle. Around the tabernacle and between the tabernacle and the other tribes the tribe of Levi (including the priests) camped. Then came the square of the other tribes. Each side consisted of three tribes, with the center tribe having a specific symbol, which also became the overall symbol for all three tribes. One one side you had Naphtali, Dan (Eagle) and Asher. The next side was Zeblum, Judah (Lion), and Issachar. Then we come to the three opposite of the Eagle tribes, these are Simeon, Rubin (Man) and Gad. Finally you have the side that consists of Manasseh, Ephraim (Ox), Benjamin. In Ezekiel we find these 4 symbols applied to angels, and many want to start with Ezekiel and skip over the camp of Israel in the exodus. What we find in Ezekiel is that although God's people are in exile, God is not saying "good riddance" but that he comes on a movable throne to be with his people in exile. Revelation has the angels for the churches; this is the exact same idea as the angels for the tribes. (also remember that the Lord is enthroned upon the praises of his people.) Thus the 4 creatures are a symbol of the church, especially in the process of having been delivered from Egypt, but not yet in the promised land; and when we are in exile from the promised land. Revelation 4 and 5 are based on this camp. We find God on his throne, but we don't find a visible tabernacle. He is in heaven and his people, his church, the 4 living creatures, are in exile/exodus on earth. We have been delivered from sin, but we are in transit on our way to the promised land. In Revelation 4 and 5 we find where we have in the exodus the Levites, in Revelation we have the 24 Elders. In the exodus the Hebrews could look towards the tabernacle, and the Levites, especially the priests, would minister to the people and bring the people what God wanted them to know. In Revelation 4 and 5, God's throne is in heaven, we don't see a literal tabernacle on earth among us. But just because God is up there in heaven, we are orphans on earth. Heaven is actively communicating with us through the 24 Elders, the Word of God. There are things called "Present Truth." We don't have someone from the tribe of Levi come and tell us. But we notice things in God's word that we did not realize before. Now, why do we move from the entire tribe of Levi to "24 Elders"? Actually, these two are connected. In the time of Jesus we had the Sanhedrin which consisted of 69 leaders, both Pharisees and Sadducee priests plus the High Priest for a total of 70. Now, the Sanhedrin did not always need all 70. They could have a quorum, considered to be "the whole Sanhedrin" with 23 members plus the high priest for 24. This is again based on the 24 courses of priests. The Sanhedrin was a religious court system while the Roman Governor lead the secular court system. Now, when both Pharisees and Sadducees meet for discussion, there were different schools of Pharisees. When the disciples went through the grain fields and rubbed the grains; most Pharisees did NOT see this as breaking the Sabbath, however, there were a few who did see this as breaking the Sabbath. If Jesus was taken to the Sanhedrin and someone said that he allowed his disciples to pluck the grain on the Sabbath, other Pharisees would argue "That's fine to do on the Sabbath. but we accuse Jesus of doing this..." which other Pharisees would see as acceptable actions, and the inquiry would go nowhere. We find how Paul was able to take advantage of seeing that there were both Pharisees and Sadducees when he was arrested. Also, Pharisees ran the spectrum from those living up to what they understood and having a relationship with God, all the way to the hypocrites, and every shade between. But generally speaking, they would be interested in fair trials. The Sadducees on the other hand were corrupt puppets of Rome. They just wanted to get rid if people who they thought were getting too popular with the people. So they would have a meeting of the Sanhedrin consisting of ONLY 23 Sadducee Priests and the High Priest. They did not even pretend to have a fair trial. They would purposely have witnesses that contradicted each other. Then they could take their victim out and stone them to death. The religious court and secular court would communicate if they were worried about someone popular with the people. If they thought they could do better charging the person with secular situations they would go to the Roman court, but if they could do a better argument with religious charges, they would go to the 24 Sadducee Sanhedrin members. Rome had different punishments, including different forms of the death sentence. The Sanhedrin only had one form of death: Stoning (which was the quickest and least painful way to die in the ancient world.) Now, if someone was really popular with the people, and the 24 Sadducee Sanhedrin took their victim out and stoned them to death, the disciples could see their late leader as a martyr. However, the Jews understood the text about whoever hangs on a tree as being cursed by God, as meaning that God would not allow his people to hang on a tree. Only God's evil enemies would hang on a tree. Thus if the 24 Sadducee Priests Sanhedrin really wanted to ruin someone's influence, they would turn them over to Rome to hang on a tree. The disciples would conclude that this person was wrong and God wanted nothing to do with him. They would have felt that they were deceived, that this person they liked was actually a servant of Satan, not God. Hanging on a tree would ruin a reputation just as if they found the person to be say a womanizer or embezzler, or anything else someone could do to convince you that they were not from God. The followers would separate from each other, they would distance themselves from what this person was teaching, so if the 24 Sadducee Priests Sanhedrin would turn their victim over to Rome, they would destroy not only the popular person, but also their ideas. The evidence in the Bible is that Jesus' interaction with the Sanhedrin was with a Sadducee court of 23 Sadducee priests and the High Priest, for 24 Sadducee priests Sanhedrin. Now, the word "Sanhedrin" is a Greek word. We had lost what the term that the Jews used. Now we know. The word translated as "Sanhedrin" was "Elders". The Levites/ Priests were to present the truth about God. The truth about Jesus. We have 24 priest Elders telling false witness about Jesus. We have 24 priest Elders who took Jesus to Pilate and instead of witnessing to Pilate to teach him the truth about Jesus, which was their job, they instead gave false witness. The Levites were Elders telling the truth about God, a Sanhedrin. Thus we have in Revelation the 24 Elders, yes, replacing the whole tribe of Levi, but also, as considered the whole tribe of Levi just as the 24 Sadducee Priests Elders/Sanhedrin represented the entire Priesthood. These are the heavenly counterpart of the 24 Sadducee Priests Elders/Sanhedrin who was telling lies about Jesus. This heavenly counterpart is telling what those 24 Sadducee Priests Elders/Sanhedrin were supposed to proclaim about Jesus both to themselves and to Pilate and to the whole world. We have the 24 false Elders on earth, and the 24 true Elders actively bringing the truth about Jesus to the 4 living creatures: God's church, free from Egypt but not yet in the promised land. The testimony of the 12 Tribes and the 12 Apostles, the living, active word of God.

The following is an important article that all should read. https://spectrummagazine.org/news/reclaiming-the-prophet-the-authors-discuss-their-book/

I want to read that. Thank you for posting this.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a relatively young Protestant denomination that was first formally organized in 1863. It has five major areas of ministry: education, publishing, media, healthcare, and foreign missions. Today (2025) it has some 23- million baptized members. Fundamental to its understanding of the purpose of congregations is the thought that people are on a spiritual journey that implies growth over time. In other words, individual members will typically be at different stages of spiritual understanding and growth. From this perspective, individual SDA members exhibit a wider range of belief and practice than is commonly understood by the public. SDA congregations are both united in belief and also may have some differences in how spiritual belief is practiced in daily life. Officially SDA beliefs fall into two categories. Baptismal Vows are a subset of beliefs that are expected to be held by those who are baptized, and join the denomination. Fundamental Beliefs are officially the teachings that each pastor is expected to teach and individual congregations to hold. Yet, from a practical manner, the spectra of understanding those and how they are practiced in daily life is wider than most people understand.

A larger statement of SDA beliefs, which is listed in 28 statements may be found at: https://szu.adventist.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/28_Beliefs.pdf

Throughout SDA history people being baptized and becoming SDA members have been asked to agree to a minimal set of Adventist beliefs. While there have been some minor differences among such versions, the following website provides you with a generally accepted set of such requirements. https://seca7.adventistchurch.org.uk/uploaded_assets/273016-OFFICIAL_SDA_BAPTISMAL_VOWS.pdf?thumbnail=original&1587578683 NOTE: The above website also contains an "Affirmation of Faith" which seems to be used in the United Kingdom, but I have not seen used in the United States exactly as presented by the above link.

Hello friends, it's been a while since I've posted and a lot has happened but I want to share what's happened since I've last posted. In 2017, my wife, Denise read me a quote from a devotional called "The faith that I live by." I was searching for answers because I was tired of being a failing Christian. I had been studying the Bible and SOP for years and yet when I honestly looked at my life, there was no victory no satisfaction, just emptiness. I'm sure you all have felt that at some time or another. What I understood and experienced was righteousness by faith. I had studied and even preach on this subject in the past but I was simply passing on information without it making a change in my heart. This video is a testimony (sort of) and it captures what I was learning. It was recorded in 2023. The battery on my camera went dead so the entire sermon wasn't recorded but there's enough to understand what I was saying. it's about 29 minutes long. I do hope you are blessed and encouraged.

To what extent should SDAs be considered people who are attempting to be Jewish? That is the question explored in the following article. It is well worth reading and also has comparisons with Catholics and other Protestant groups. https://atoday.org/are-adventists-trying-to-be-jewish/
