That's to bad Redwood.

I am troubled by this thread, and feel reluctant to interject, yet I post a few sentences of caution, and will then leave you to continue.

"The time is not far distant, when the test will come to every soul. . . . Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy, will then go out in darkness. Chaff like a cloud will be borne away on the wind, even from places where we see only floors of rich wheat." (5T 80-81)

Many of our "great" men and women that we have admired and loved, will be blown away like dry leaves. I wish this were not so, but to me it seems inevitable.

That's why we need to study for ourselves.

[wayfinder]

Richard, Excellant point, I did just that and look what it did for me.

[Guest]

Some things can't be explained. Freak accidents do happen from time to time, although I don't think what happened to you was really an accident.

Bless your heart.

[Woody]

Yes. The temptation is great to turn negative. But I am determined that being positive can be accomplished.

Thanks Stewart for bringing up that statement. There are many more to that effect.

Was God in Christ being "negative" when He declared that the popular religious teachers in Christ's day crossed land and sea to make proselytes and that they made them twofold the children of hell than they themselves were?

Talk about being negative.

And it is written that this was said more for us than for them.

Hey Redwood, Joann Davidson's name was Joann Mazat. I used to date her. (She chose a better man though) But as for her actually knowing or understanding prophecy, I seriously doubt if this is her speciality. Oh well--she means well and is about as close to righteousness as I can find! Her whole family are/were (AL died a few years ago) big in the SDA church. So, Redwood, good choice!

[Dr. Rich]

Stewart, I totally agree with you that many (most) of the leaders, teachers and preachers that we now hold up to be the greatest in our church will be the ones that refuse to accept the real truth when it is presented by the 'good and faithful servant' as found in Matthew 24:45. They will be the worst enemies to those found in Rev. 3:4.

[Woody]

Interesting. I went to Academy and College with a Nancy Mazat.

And yes. I think Joann is a great scholar.

[Dr. Rich]

Nancy Mazat (maiden name) is Joann's little sister.

[Woody]

Nancy Mazat (maiden name) is Joann's little sister.

Thanks for putting the puzzle piece together. This is interesting to know.

[Dr. Rich]

u betcha, it truly is a small world! I suppose being in the Adventist Family (so to speak) makes it that way! By the way, all of the Mazats were well liked (or a better word is 'loved'), both in the Denver area, Loma Linda area-- and I would guess in the Andrews area. Joann's husband is also a fine scholar.

[Woody]

Yes. I've been in their home. They are gracious people and both fine scholars.
