What Does the Bible Say about Plagues and Pandemics?

inductive story telling

Inductive storytelling and deductive preaching are the same thing? Sermons are often delivered in a deductive manner. A thesis is stated, then the rest of the sermon is devoted to proving the thesis with illustrations, anecdotes, "prooftexts," etc.

Really not a lot different than a typical presentation such as might be delivered at Toastmaster's or a business meeting.

Leslie Hardinge once gave an inductive sermon I listened to. He led the listeners along without a front loaded thesis. The conclusion at the end of the sermon was the logical outcome of what led up to it in the intro and body of the message. The conclusion became more obvious as he moved along in his message. Really a masterful presentation.

If a person can learn to present inductively, that alone would be well worth the effort.

Stinsonmari, said in the quote below:

The book that I sent you was a book that I value highly, and keep in my library, for my personal use.   It is a book that has been well accepted by non-SDA Christians and it is considered to be written on the advanced level of the lay person. 

I was gifted with two of those books. I wanted to give them away to the two people that I felt could best use them.  You and another woman each received one of those books.   I approached you both, described the book and asked if I could send a copy.  Both you and the other woman said yes, and gave me their mailing address.  I have never regretted sending them to both of you.  I have felt that I made the right decision.  

Let me apologize to you.  I did not understand that your life experiences was such that my gift to you of a valued item would be considered to be an attempt to convert you to my view.  That book does not represent my view.  Rather it was a book about the Bible that has been very well accepted by people not SDA.   It was book that I value highly.  It provides me with information that I value and do not have easily available otherwise.

That book is now out of print.  I certainly know of others who would be delighted to have a copy.  Feel free to return it to me as I know of others who would be glad to have a copy, and once you do that I will give it to someone else.  By returning it to me, you will not have to be reminded of something that was offensive to you.  I apologize for offending you by a gift that I personally valued highly.  I thought that you would also value it.

Pastor Matthew: Once again, you are blowing it out of proportion. If you recall, I thank you for sending it to me. I have read it and I will send it back, that is not a problem. When you stated that I was trying to convert people, I felt that is what you did to me. I appreciated the book. However, I have been a Bible worker for the church for years. My mother was also a Bible worker but I do not agree with the methodology of the church. The faith and spirituality that the pioneers had, we have lost. I have said over and over that USA and the churches all of them today have been Hellenized. That is the leopard that Daniel saw and that is what YAHSHUA had to deal with in HIS time here on earth.

What is sad to me you only chose one portion of what I ask of you and not the rest. I know about the church and my faith has not waiver, it is the principles that have change. I would love if you would take the time and address the other issues. I will be sending you back the book. Thank you very much.

Blessings!

[Gregory Matthews]

Stinsonmarri:

It is your choice as to whether or not you send the book back to me.

You were clearly offended by what I considered to be a valued gift to you.  For that I apologize.  I will not offend you again  by giving you something that I consider to be of value.

If however, you actually find it to be of value and would like to keep, then do so.  The choice is yours.

I come from a strong background of educating, training and mentoring clergy.  I have had 155 clergy sitting in a class of mine for months.  In many ways, I have respected you enough to treat you as being important enough (and valued  enough) to hold you responsible for your own actions.

I have a special interest in females who work in ministry.  That is why the book I gave you was also given to a female who works in ministry.

So, you decide what you want to do with my gift to you that you have found to be offensive.

Pastor Matthews: I will repeat to you what I said when you gave me the book. Thank you, I appreciate it very much. Have you forgotten this sir? It is you who said you wanted the book back, I can always use all books I might agree with some  or not because they all have values! I wanted to know why did you send me the book to convert me based how you said that I have done. I have numerous of books that I value included yours. I would love to keep and you did not insult me by giving me the book. I never said anything like that at all. What I want you to understand the words that you say come across very negative, accusing, and never justifiable. You took to the book instead of understanding how I felt when you call me ignorant, things over my head, rude etc. It wasn't the book at all.

Somehow you appear to miss the point I am stating to you. You, have changed since I was in a disagreement with Photodude, sometimes Joe! It was after that you question my education. Then you came and accuse me of many things, last two thing was being ignorant and things over my head. I have ask you to show me what made you say this and to show me these errors you have express that I have done!

I think that the work you have done is awesome and I commend you for it! But, I feel should be able to give account when you label a person with the things you had done to me without proving or showing where you are coming from!

I have no animosity against you at all! I have been hurt and insulted by you because you are the moderator. The only person I feel bad about is Joe and his misrepresentation he has said as well. We have talked over the email and Joe knows what he said to me. I will not speak about it because he came to me in private. He has change and accuse me falsely as I feel you have. 

All I ask of you is when you say something about a person as you have said publicly about me; show me! Give me the curtesy to respond to what you have said. That's all! I told you how I felt and it was not the book but, what I felt was your motive! Since, it has hurt you I am sorry! It was never my attention to hurt or insult you about your gift! I would love to keep if you don't mind! That is all I have to say and truly hope that you will forgive me!

Blessings!

[Gregory Matthews]

Good.  You value the book, keep it.

Not as far as I know.

My perspective is that he became well known in Adventism because of the book that he wrote.

[stinsonmarri]

I would like to return to the theme about the plagues and the pandemic. The Bible does not state or use the word pandemic. The world is in a crisis especially the United States, the two horned beast. Remember the Bible said is will speak like a dragon. If you do not see this Trump, then you miss the mark! The SDA church has always focus on the Sabbath versus Sunday as the mark of the beast. What is taken place now has shown that this is not the problem with the churches including SDA! This was never going to take place! The Bible does not state this anywhere, another trick of Satan on YAHWEH'S people! The remnant will wake up and realize this during this time!

YAHWEH always give a preview of what will take place on a larger scale. Many do not realize that YAHWEH allowed Trump to be president. Many stated that they love people of all colors in the Evangelical Churches but their true actions were reveal. We are not only blaming White people, there are Black people that were working for him and saw and knew what he was doing! They foolishly think he loves them! They are being used, just like some being used to trade other Blacks during slavery! The White people took them to and made them slaves. This have been the fate of those Blacks who are delusional about how foolish they are. A snake will turn even on his keeper!

What is happening is history of sin is repeating only in a larger and more define scale. Jim Crow laws are consider kindergarten compare to now. Many factions of White people that have hated  people of color were hidden and those who were leaders had hatred all along. They are let it all come out with a fury! The Bible says what's hidden in you heart will be reveal.

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Luke 8:17 (WOY) 

What has happen is the truth has surface. Trump, we find out had again a lawyer to help him with the Big Lie that votes were stolen. The reason people believe him and again, the Bible say this:

And for this cause Elohim shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2Th 2:11  (WOY)

It is so hard to believe hatred is so open now USA! Including on this forum! The plot thickens, to keep people of color from voting so Trump can win. The way he is worshipped you think he is the beast, but he is not. Neither is the Papacy, if you read your Bible, the beast no one knows who is yet. He has not been reveal, and if you have read your Bible, you would have known that Gabriel told John of two mysteries. First, the papacy, then the beast whom she was ridding.

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. Rev 17:7  

There is a conjunction between the woman and the beast to show that there are two mysteries! What is taking place now, the separation of the true followers, call THE WAY! These people are the one EGW saw standing on the platform all together as one. Daniel call them the Wise Teachers, YAHSHUAH Call them the Wise Virgins. 

I commented earlier about some of the lust people have, but there is more different types of sin then just that! When the Congress was broken into, you would have thought, that this would change the Republican Party, it didn't. Two Conservative congress persons took a stand, some quit but the rest are weak and they just follow the crowd. The senators are even worse and Mitch McConnell at first jump down on Trump, but his base made him step back in line. He already is known as the "Reaper and Moscow Mitch!"  Here the Middle Class and also the poor were hit the harder doing the Pandemic and need a lot of help. I know, I work for the unemployment! They want the Better More Bill and one Democrat stands in the way!

We see that now, the "Critical Race Theory," is even preached against in the SDA Church, who members are White! Crime is up especially hate crime. We see those who are not vaccinated are not concern about their neighbor and most are Republicans. They are dying and Trump tried to tell them to get vaccine. A little to late, don't you think! Yes, even Blacks are not being vaccinated. They are concern that the government is going do something to them! Suspicion against each other is all around and at the top of the list is hatred!

YAHSHUA warned that all of these things would take place just before HE comes. Here they are! People thinking that created beings can create a virus is totally ridiculous. Why on earth would we think that? It is no different then believing that angels, who are spiritual beings like THE ALMIGHTY ONES; can have sex with flesh beings like us. How deprave and senseless is this? They cannot actually believe that all flesh was destroyed by a flood except Noah and his family, so these supposed to be beings existed even after flood through who? Aliens is also the talk of the day! Mostly everyone believes. Some believe that the fallen angels really are aliens. They had either sex are changed our DNA. Large amount of money is spend by the reach to get out of earth. Oh, it seem silly but since Nimrod, YAHWEH had to stop flesh being because they were traveling in space then. They were trying to leave the earth, there wasn't any temple build. They knew that their were other beings in other worlds. They were trying to find another home and make a Universal name for themselves. They were all together so who do you think they were making a name for? Wake up folks, the mystery of the beast states he will come from the same place that Satan will be chained. The alien coming to earth that is the talk now-hello! 

Satan angels are chained now, some only allowed to come here to work with him. They are here to individually work with each of us who are alive! One legion was release during the time of YAHSHUA! HE healed the man and did not want to return to prison. HE let them go into the herd of pigs. They easily killed them, pigs brains are not like ours! They had to go back to the deep, look up the word! It is the bottomless pit! That is Satan seat of authority, when he was kicked out! He is somewhere on a planet or some land mass where his angels are lock down! That's his seat folks, not the earth. The Bible says YAHWEH states clear the earth is HIS! Don't believe me, read Spirit of Prophecy vol. 1!

Satan refused to listen. And then he turned from the loyal and true angels, denouncing them as slaves. These angels, true to God, stood in amazement as they saw that Satan was successful in his effort to excite rebellion. He promised them a new and better government than they then had, in which all would be freedom. Great numbers signified their purpose to accept Satan as their leader and chief commander. As he saw his advances were met with success, he flattered himself that he should yet have all the angels on his side, and that he would be equal with God HIMSELF, and his voice of authority would be heard in commanding the entire host of Heaven…

The loyal angels hasten speedily to THE SON of God and acquaint HIM with what is taking place among the angels. They find THE FATHER in conference with HIS BELOVED SON, to determine the means by which, for the best good of the loyal angels, the assumed authority of Satan could be forever put down…

It was the highest crime to rebel against THE GOVERMENT of God. All Heaven seemed in commotion. The angels were marshaled in companies, each division with a higher commanding angel at their head. Satan was warring against the Law of God, because ambitious to exalt himself, and unwilling to submit to the AUTHORITY of Gods' SON, Heaven's GREAT COMMANDER…

Then there was war in Heaven. THE SON of God, THE PRINCE of Heaven, and HIS loyal angels, engaged in conflict with the arch rebel and those who united with him. THE SON of God and true, loyal angels prevailed; and Satan and his sympathizers were expelled from Heaven…

THE FATHER Consulted Jesus in regard to at once carrying out THEIR purpose to make *man to inhabit the earth. He would place man upon probation to test his loyalty, before he could be rendered eternally secure. If he endured the test wherewith God saw fit to prove him, he should eventually be equal with the angels. p. 20-23, 1SP

*The Adams in Hebrew and not the word man singular: Male and Female Gen 1:26

Young people are totally changed about their belief in THE MOST HIGH, with all these turmoil going on! Who to believe in our church today? They see even many of us going against being vaccine! They see the hatred exploding in the church which at the top is racism. They have become diverse, they do not care about the color of people skin. They just want to love the person and that's it!

Finally, Satan is delighted because he do not want the prophecies to be fulfilled. Do you think he wants to die and burn, no he doesn't! He to knew from the beginning he had a short time dealing with flesh beings on this earth. Yet, he to is more delusional as many of us and that IS the BIG SCHOCKER! But, if YAHSHUA do not hurry up and come even the elect will give up and be lost! That is how bad and terrible is sin and the carrier is Satan who have spread the most destructive disease in the Universe! This pandemic is the worse killing force and it must and will be eliminated. It is mandated by THE ALMIGHTY ONES, so, I am pleading with all those who are here stop and get vaccinated to truth! Wake up and realize we are all related. Noah had three sons and the same blood flow through all of us. We are cousins, and those who will wake up and realize this will have a Great Family reunion in Heaven. WE THE FAMILY will sit together at the welcome table. No more hate, no more racism, no more of the sin pandemic! WE WILL AT LAST BE FREE TO LOVE EACH OTHER!

BLESSINGS!

List of the United States Jim Crow Laws (1876-1965)

 

From the 1880s into the 1960s, a majority of American states enforced segregation through "Jim Crow" laws (so called after a black character in minstrel shows). From Delaware to California, and from North Dakota to Texas, many states (and cities, too) could impose legal punishments on people for consorting with members of another race. The most common types of laws forbade intermarriage and ordered business owners and public institutions to keep their black and white clients separated. Here is a sampling of laws from various states. _

You again are making accusations and judgements against those you do not know and don't have the slightest proof.  Most have not made a decision to not get the vaccine based on unconcern for their neighbor. They have tried to make a informed intelligent decision, just as those that received the vaccine. I seriously doubt that they made that decision out of concern for their neighbor. But there is a lot of concern over the thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants . They  have not had the availability of the medical care citizens of this country have. How many have even had the typical vaccines we take for granted. They have lost track of hundreds of Afghan. What infectious disease might  any of them be carrying. That is a considerable threat and the admin really doesnt show any concern

 This pandemic is the worse killing force and it must and will be eliminated. It is mandated by THE ALMIGHTY ONES,

 

Can you show a biblical reference for the mandate. Not a general statement followed by personal opinion concerning this virus or the mind set of those refusing vaccine

No more hate, no more racism, no more of the sin pandemic! WE WILL AT LAST BE FREE TO LOVE EACH OTHE.

 

People are free to do just that now. Unfortunately there are those that thrive on the so called racism of everyone else.

You again are making accusations and judgements against those you do not know and don't have the slightest proof.  Most have not made a decision to not get the vaccine based on unconcern for their neighbor. They have tried to make a informed intelligent decision, just as those that received the vaccine. I seriously doubt that they made that decision out of concern for their neighbor. But there is a lot of concern over the thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants . They  have not had the availability of the medical care citizens of this country have. How many have even had the typical vaccines we take for granted. They have lost track of hundreds of Afghan. What infectious disease might  any of them be carrying. That is a considerable threat and the admin really doesnt show any concern

I do not see or think as you do.  I have base on the Bible which says love thy neighbor.  We are living in the end time and this is my choice. 

Blessings!

 This pandemic is the worse killing force and it must and will be eliminated. It is mandated by THE ALMIGHTY ONES,

 

Can you show a biblical reference for the mandate. Not a general statement followed by personal opinion concerning this virus or the mind set of those refusing vaccine

No more hate, no more racism, no more of the sin pandemic! WE WILL AT LAST BE FREE TO LOVE EACH OTHE.

 

People are free to do just that now. Unfortunately there are those that thrive on the so called racism of everyone else.

Sin is the worst pandemic and the only vaccination that is mandated is to keep the Commandments and have the Testimony of YAHSHUA. HE IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY!

I see all of what you want to say as living in the last days. I look at the Bible and Noah's 3 sons. YAHWEH put us all here not to condemn but to accept the truth. Satan through sin brought hate and racism here. All three brothers children have done great things and all three brothers children have fail the test individually by each son's children; to bring people in HIS assembly call the House of IsraEL.

Now, we are all call together and the remnant IsraEL will hear the call. They will be of all colors, all nations, all tongues and people. These are the Wise Virgins/Righteous Wise Teachers, along with those who will awake for everlasting life. They together will finish the Gospel and the great multitude will be sealed and save. Together all us alive we will be caught up along with the rest of the righteous dead and all will be with YAHSHUA! All will travel to Heaven and together, we will have a great family reunion. No more hate and criticism but love and sin, diseases of all kind will be burn up. This will take place when the True Assembly of IsraEL will come back in the New Jerusalem. All evil will be destroyed by everlasting fire. 

That's my choice, that's my faith!

Blessings!

Your non answer is clearer than you know. Loving your neighbor by accusations and false statements is not bible based.

Can you just once stick to the topic at hand.  Noah and his three sons do not specifically have any bearing on the this pandemic. Most here realize sin is the reason we have plagues and pandemics.  Is condemnation reserved for you? You certainly have laid out the sins of those that disagree with you on the vaccine and not accepted Your Truth.

Loving your neighbor is no bible based when it is condemnation of those that simply disagree with you on a issue. Disagreeing with you is not the same as a callous disregard for your neighbor

Now can we get back to some of the statements and accusations you have made. Start with the less than honest Jim Crow laws.  That certainly is a strange way to Love Thy Neighbor

You did not make this topic and the one who did gave an approval! You can give your comment and I can give mine.

That's your opinion! It does not matter because you want to argue as usually. Its your make up which to me will be your fate!

Prayer is Needed!

 Jim Crow laws are consider kindergarten compare to now. 

You certainly would not make such a statement unless you have something to back it up with. That is some strange biblical neighborly love going around.  Where  is anything resembling Jim Crow laws on the books or enforce now. Should not be a difficult question to answer. I looked and I could not find any

What I want is for to you back up your accusations against others, such as the silliness with Jim Crow laws. For some reason you think your accusations and  unfounded statements  towards a large segment of the population are above reproach or question.

Disagreement with you is turning one's back on the commandments.  Asking you to back up or clarify accusations is wanting to argue.

I would like to return to the theme about the plagues and the pandemic.

The above would have been a pleasant departure.  But absent that would you deal with the statement you made about Jim Crow laws. If true that is a very serious accusation against many. Where do you find at the very least these kindergarten like discrimination laws

If you do not see this Trump, then you miss the mark!

OMG! I am not sure which is harder to get rid of. The Covid pandemic or Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) which seems to have disappeared like colds and flu since the pandemic started. However, flu is still a problem so don't forget your flu shots!

Seriously time to get over TDS in light of the way this country is being trashed under the current regime.

This whole argument on racism is so overworked and misleading. Reminds me of the verse from Isaiah, "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter."

When you omit parts of the story, you have fallen into a lie. That is also evil. The whole slavery / racism story is so wrong, but gets used by so many for their own corrupt aims.

These continuous accusations of racism get very old after a while.

Yeah, all the whites can gather in a circle and sing Kumbaya intermittently while apologizing for being white!

Trump is a terminal sickness with some. It is chronic, cannot be cured. Some will learn to live with it and then there are the others.
