Stan Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Has there ever been thought in Adventism of a recording Angel writing down all of our actions so the "Lord can make a fair reckonin' on judgement?" Would this have been Adventist thought in the 1930's or 40's? Am not talking Seminary talk, but Adventist on the street talk??

Administrators Naomi Posted August 30, 2006 Administrators Posted August 30, 2006 Stan, I am not sure where it came from but mother always told us that we should be careful about all that we do and say because the angels will record it and we will one day have to gie an account. I think that goes hand-in-hand with a statement made by Ellen White (please don't ask me where it is located in her writtings) which says something to the effect that we will have to account for every idle word.

(Although, the Bible speaks of the names as being written in it "from the foundation of the world." At any rate, the name stays in the Book, it is not erased and re-entered, until the Judgment in heaven (investigative judgment) when a final decision is made for each name. Quote

What a bummer! pkrause Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Stan Posted August 31, 2006 Author Posted August 31, 2006 I was reading a movie script about adventist, and the quote i gave was "one of three angels that are a assigned to us at birth", other than a guardian angel, i have not been aware of the other two being that activity talked about by our members.. The scene is set in the 1930-40's Quote If you receive benefit to being here please help out with expenses. https://www.paypal.me/clubadventist Administrator of a few websites like https://adventistdating.com
Parade Orange Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 It is my understanding that at JUDGEMENT DAY at the End of the Thousand years- everybody inside the City and outside will have every thought,look or word repeated to everyone. What does that LOOK like? Every sin u have done Will be seen by everyone. Everyone will be exposed as who they really are(or were). my child will see everything. every word and every thought evil or worse. as well as the good words and deeds and motive and look. Every glare! Every weak polite smile. Every haughty thought or look. that means EVERY thought that doesnt esteem them better than you and whatnot! it is discounting them! anyhoo I digress. Every THING will be gone over by your parents. Friends. and children. Family. The Church. The community. The World. The Worlds.The Angels The Universe. The uberUNIVERSE! and The TRIUNEAwsomein unaproachable LIGHT,of course. You will be splied and opened up. It will be recorded in Live 3 or 4 Dimsionable sound and in better than FUGI colour. And we all be on display. Quote All progress in the Spiritual Life is knowing and Loving GOD"there is non upon earth that I desire besides YOU" PS 73:25That perspective changes EVERYTHING-suffering and adversity are the means that makes us hungry for GOD. Disapointments will wean us away wordly occupations. Even sin(when repented of) becomes a mechanism to push us closer to HIM as we experience His Love and Forgiveness.

Parade Orange Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 we can have a different thread for the TOPIC... 'Everything recorded and shown at JUDGMENT DAY will of Course Happen-the ones inside the CITY Will be covered under the boughtandPaid Blood of the King of KINGs and Savior' or are they gona belabour that point?

Nicodema Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 This reminds me of that joke that made the rounds elsewhere on the internet: "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten! So please ... think of the KITTENS!!!" I mean really. So what do our "recording angels" do when we have to go into the toilet for a long duty? Do they come in with us so they can have a peek at our thoughts? If the universe is that voyeuristic, we've got bigger problems than Lucifer being disgruntled and wanting to be top dog.

Parade Orange Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 lol what a thought! The world is a stage and they arent voyeristic! they are sinless so instead of voyer they are.. uhhh... students of how bad sin really is. Of course when I go to the loo I put on a puppet show so it would be a distraction of whats really going on.

Parade Orange Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I dont think so. I always read your posts BTW. U make a fair amount of sense. I remeber when I was 6 or 7 my great Aunt Marie died. She was the only woman that was nice to me in the family. It was upsetting. My mother ,who didnt talk of God -who was raised in an evil twisted Catholic cult of some sort, told me that Aunt Marie was in heaven on a cloud looking down on us. That thought made my skin crawl. Looking down on me? I knew she didnt love me anymore when she saw all the bad things I did. It really wrecked my childhood. I was so sensitive and took everything literelly. I was so glad to find out the State Of The Dead! thats good news!

Nicodema Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I'm still trying to get to know your moods, G4J. sometimes you're a real surprise! but in a good way. I'd still like to know what you were really thinking/feeling in that other thread, where apparently everyone else thought I misinterpreted your statements. I thought I got them spot on.

Parade Orange Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Hi Nicodema. I must confess- I dont read all your posts! I dont open every thread. And my eyes tend to glaze over as I read long posts. So which thread? what did I say and what did u say? but I atempt(sp?) to read them! sorry. and your answer to the third angel theory Is priceless. I loved it! that was so funny and somehow rings vague mindset and how God is viewed in many church camps. When I was living in the city I went to a Southbay SDA church. Me and my sis are very close and she visited my church(thats when I had a church I could bring people to). Before the sermon started there was a child dedication ceremony. My sister was distracted by the paperwork they give at the foyer and looked up and saw the minister with a baby. She whispered "whats going on?" I whispered back" they're having a dedication." She then looked at me confused(my family is unchurched) and asked "to who?" I couldnt resist! I said it "the DEVIL!!!" we stifled our Laughter with tears in our eyes and couldnt look at each other after that. We knew we would bust up again. It was a somber occasion.
