Page 168 of 3161 Samuel 4:10
@@@^In order to eliminate money changing for tithe and offering, paying for books, etc. on the Sabbath, a Laodicean practice which the Word of God condemns, let us carefully attend to all such matters on preparation day by placing all monies in envelopes. To this end we advise that each company supply itself with small inexpensive envelopes. Do not use church materials where you are no longer paying for them, for it is not right.
1 Samuel 5:3
@@@^It makes us sad to see such asperity in ministers of God, and surprises us that they will stoop to partial quoting, etc. to make out a case against us and to serve their own ends. We should think that S.D.A. ministers, having seen this sort of thing so long in first-day proponents, would shun it like a plague.
1 Samuel 5:10
@@@^The more zealous their efforts along this line, the sooner will the work finish and the Lord come. Let us pray therefore that their zeal flag not, and yet at the same time that it will bring the honest among them, like Paul, to a place where God can humble and save them from the terrible spewing out (Ezek. 9) which awaits the “angel” of the Laodiceans.
1 Samuel 5:12
@@@^“Recently I visited with friends and relatives in _____, and tried to interest them in studying the SRod, but I found the prejudice very strong. Every one of them seemed to have seen in the SRod adherents only a tendency to criticize and bring out the faults of ministers and workers. Now as I see the message, our business is not a personal criticism of any. While we cannot help sighing and crying “for the abominations in the midst thereof,” if we are to receive the “seal of the living God,” yet our spirit is to be one of love and forbearance.”
1 Samuel 7:3
@@@^Concerning the idea that the present time is not the day for individuals outside the S.D.A. church, though they know and believe the message, to repent and be baptized, we would say that God nowhere justifies a man, regardless of what his status might be–whether Jew or Gentile, church member or infidel–for putting off the day of repentance once light is come to him. This is the sin against the Holy Ghost. “@9Today@7, after so long a time; as it is said, @9Today@7 if ye will hear His voice @9harden not@7 your hearts.”
1 Samuel 7:8
@@@^Answer: In regard to your concern over the SRod’s apparent blockading of its own way by its attitude that we should not support the foreign missions program, we would say that if its enemies were not using this as a stumblingblock, they would be using something else. Its attitude is not one of opposition simply for opposition’s sake or for the sake of furthering selfish interest. It believes in@9 every kind@7 of missionary work in itself, as must be clear to anyone who will study the message. But under the present circumstances, with a sword hanging over the church, momentarily ready to fall and send thousands to their destruction, God can hardly be consistent or merciful, in lavishing His time and means upon a program which, under the present turn of affairs, can no longer accomplish its divinely appointed purpose, but which from here on can only lend itself to augment the enemy’s facilities for bringing into the church thousands of unconverted only to perish in the fearful slaughter of Eze. 9.
1 Samuel 7:9
@@@^@9Question: @7When we are not working for sinners in Zion, then why not for sinners in the world? They are all sinners in the sight of God....He has given us light since 1844 and He does not mean for it to be hidden “under a bushel” but to lighten the world.”
1 Samuel 8:2
@@@^@9Question:@7 “Does the SRod mean to teach that the Judgment for the righteous dead closed in 1931, or thereabouts, by the following statement? ‘While God clears the way for the seven last plagues by laying some of His people to sleep in the grave, He has done the same for the event to take place in 1931 (if that date be correct). Those who cannot undergo the trial are laid in their graves, while the 144,000 remain and will escape, but the balance in the church (now) shall perish in the ruin.’ (SRod, Vol. 1, p. 219.) Please explain.”
1 Samuel 8:8
@@@^The term, “Ephraim,” applies to this same kingdom. (Isa.7:1, 2.) The kingdom which was composed of the two tribes and which occupied the Southern portion of the land is called Judah. The reason that “Ephraim” is synonymous with “Israel” is that the tribe of Ephraim ruled the kingdom. Hence, because of this fact the kingdom on the North is called by both names–”Israel,” and “Ephraim”–whereas the Southern kingdom which was ruled by the tribe of Judah is therefore called “Judah.” Thus, the terms “Israel,” and Ephraim” are applicable to the Northern division, and the term “Judah” to the Southern division of God’s ancient people.
1 Samuel 9:3
@@@^Moreover, in Isa. 66:15, which reads, “Behold, the Lord will @9come@7 with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire,” (Verse 16) “For by fire and by His sword will the Lord @9plead @7with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many,” we see that when He comes with fire, it is to “@9plead@7” with all flesh, which proves that it is during probationary time, for after the close of probation God will plead with no flesh.
1 Samuel 9:6
@@@^Some have an altogether too narrow view of the Godhead. They think that in order for Jesus to carry on the investigative judgment in the heavenly sanctuary, He must confine Himself there every moment, and that even in case of necessity He cannot leave the place of the most holy apartment to do anything else until His mediatorial work is finished.
1 Samuel 10:6
@@@^“Before us, on the other side of the chasm, was a beautiful field of green grass, about six inches high. I could not see the sun, but bright, soft beams of light, resembling fine gold and silver, were resting upon this field. Nothing I had seen upon earth could compare in beauty and glory with this field. But could we succeed in reaching it? was the anxious inquiry. Should the cord break, we must perish. Again, in whispered anguish, the word were breathed, ‘What holds the cord?’ For a moment we hesitated to venture. Then we exclaimed, ‘Our only hope is to trust wholly in the cord. It has been our dependence all the difficult way. It will not fail us now.’ Still we were hesitating and distressed. The words were then spoken, ‘God holds the cord. We need not fear.’ These words were then repeated by those behind us, accompanied with, ‘He will not fail us now. He has brought us thus far in safety.’
1 Samuel 11:1
@@@^So you can see that the whole problem is an individual one. If we are determined to keep pace with God, He will reveal to us the reforms He would have us institute in our lives and when to effect them. Therefore, we would not advise you to discontinue the use of milk until you are certain the Lord is telling you to do so.
2 Samuel 2:6
@@@^The Spirit of Prophecy looking forward to this time says: “God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness.” T.M. 300.
2 Samuel 2:7
@@@^We regret that we must speak of the actions on the part of our brethren, but we are duty bound to defend God’s people and His truth. Therefore, we are obliged to give out the following information for the benefit of those who are willing to study and investigate for themselves in preference to accepting the decisions of others.
2 Samuel 3:2
@@@^I repeat, it is not our names on the church books that make us true Seventh-day Adventists, but the keeping of the truth. If the only possible way the brethren have of casting reflections upon the message is by falsifying the facts, then they had better leave the responsibility of defending the truth wholly to God, Who is able to protect His people by TRUTH instead of falsehood.
2 Samuel 3:7
@@@^@@Dear Brother:@^Just a few lines from our little company. There are seven who have taken their stand for the message of present truth found in the SRod, which we find in harmony with the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, and in which we are surely happy and rejoicing. Now we are asking for someone to come and teach us more about the message, that we may better work to the glory of God and the advancement of His cause. @3(Signed) W. R. Young.
2 Samuel 4:1
@@@^“The church here has had several committee meetings of late because of my activities. Things are getting real serious. They say they see a split coming and it frightens them. 0, I do rejoice when I see things coming to a head. God is working and soon the crash will come. They are trying to get evidence against me, but no matter what they do to me, I want to be what Jesus wants me to be, and with His help I am going to be.” @3(Signed) Mrs. Anna Oswald @4Houston, Texas
2 Samuel 4:5
@@@^“Laws and rules are being made at the centers of the work @9that will soon be broken to atoms@7....If the cords are drawn much tighter, if the rules are made much finer, if men continue to bind their fellow laborers closer and closer to @9the commandments of men@7, many will be stirred by the Spirit of God to @9break every shackle@7, and assert their liberty in Christ Jesus...”–R. & H., July 23 1895.
2 Samuel 4:8
@@@^“Satan will work His miracles to deceive, he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while @9the sinners in Zion will be sifted out@7. The @9chaff is separated@7 from the precious wheat. @9This is a terrible ordeal@7, but nevertheless @9it must take place@7. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb [in faith walking in the light] and the word of their testimony [giving the message] will be found with the loyal and true [144,000], without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouth. The remnant that purify their souls by @9obeying the truth@7 gather strength from the @9trying process@7, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy....The @9great issue@7 so near at hand will @9weed out@7 those whom God has not appointed, and He will have a @9pure, true, sanctified ministry@7 prepared @9for the latter@7 rain.”–B-55-1886.
