Then humanity and divinity are combined and the work will be a complete success for Christ's righteousness accomplishes everything. See F.W.27. "The merits of His sacrifice are sufficient to present to the Father in our behalf." S.C.36.
LifeHiscost Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Those who are living upon the earth when the intercession of Christ shall cease in the sanctuary above, are to stand in the sight of a holy God without a mediator. Their robes must be spotless, their characters must be purified from sin by the blood of sprinkling. Through the grace of God and their own diligent effort, they must be conquerors in the battle with evil. While the investigative Judgment is going forward in Heaven, while the sins of penitent believers are being removed from the sanctuary, there is to be a special work of purification, of putting away of sin, among God's people upon earth. This work is more clearly presented in the messages of Revelation 14. {GC88 425.1} Not to comment on the veracity of the above, but to allow the Word to give all the assurance necessary to have faith that Jesus has the ability to keep them for the kingdom. "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”" Hebrews 13:5 NKJV It is my confidence, that means for all the future, Jesus will not leave those who invite His presence to be with them. "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life."1 John 5:12 NKJV Blessings! Lift Jesus up!!
LifeHiscost Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 the work will be a complete success for Christ's righteousness accomplishes everything. See F.W.27. "...that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”[a]"1 Corinthians 1:29-31 NKJV Seems plain. "...for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. "Philippians 2:13 NKJV Blessings! Lift Jesus up!!

Isaiah 45:19,23. It is the Word (and Christ is the Word) which accomplishes everything. Christ the Word is creative energy. He says, "My word shall accomplish that which I please," unless we refuse to consent for the Word to have free course in us to fulfill every jot and tittle of what is expressed in the Word. The important thing is look to Jesus and accept His merits which it is our privilege to claim and then the Word accomplishes everything for without Him we can do nothing. "In the work of God humanity can originate nothing." C.O.L.418. sky "The merits of His sacrifice are sufficient to present to the Father in our behalf." S.C.36.

Even the works of darkness could not be accomplished for the dark kingdom, were it not for the mercy of the Creator. Knowing God to be Love makes it easy to accept this promise.

Woody Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 The sinful nature is removed at the resurrection. Many of the saints who died in ages past will have some sin or some defect that they have repented of - but struggled with - maybe until the day they died. But those who live at a time when Christ is no longer Mediator and no longer Intercessor face an entirely unique scenario unlike any sinner who has ever lived in all of time. No way around that. Call it "present truth" if you like. in Christ, Bob Why would anyone need a mediator when their case has been decided? May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
BobRyan Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 A careful review of Heb 9 and Christ's role as intercessor and mediator shows very little focus on "cases decided" and very much focus on obtaining forgiveness for sins. As Peter said we believe in the "forgiveness of sins that are past". (2Peter 1). As we learned in our SS lesson this quarter - the role of Christ as our mediator and "advocate with the Father" is key to obtaining the result of "forgiveness" when the saints sin. Living at a time when that role has ended would be unique in all of time. in Christ, Bob John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
Master Po Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Ernie Knoll has posted a new dream. It is titled In the Heart of Jesus. http://www.formypeople.org/in%20the%20heart%20of%20jesus.html
Woody Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Oh brother. He doesn't give up huh? What denomination does he belong to now anyways? May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Lutz13 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Ernie Knoll has posted a new dream. It is titled In the Heart of Jesus. http://www.formypeople.org/in%20the%20heart%20of%20jesus.html Disgusting. Reading through the testimonials disgust me! He even has that dream where Candace is mentioned!
Master Po Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Nothing wrong with the dream where Candace is mentioned. The problem is not the dream, it is the made up story of Candace. There is a difference. Time is short, and God is bringing it to the forefront through Ernie Knoll, as well as others.
Woody Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 are you sure? what church is his membership at? May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Master Po Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 He is still an SDA whether his & Becky's name is on the SDA books or not.
Woody Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Oh. Seems a little deceptive to say one is a Seventh day Adventist when one isn't ... huh? Start your own church. Do what you want ... but don't say you are an SDA when you are not. I guess if one can lie about dreams ... you can lie about being a Seventh day Adventist. May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Master Po Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 The church membership books are earthly books, the heavenly books are the books are the ones we need to be concerned about.
Master Po Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 A person can have his name on the SDA church books and be the furthest thing from an SDA christian. What matters is that Jesus abides in the heart. That is what makes a person an SDA christian.
