Page 169 of 3162 Samuel 5:5
@@@^“I was to write you if I wanted the SRod books. I have read the tracts you left me and am now re-reading parts of them, and I must say that the more I read them the more I am convinced that this message is of God, so I am eager to receive the books.
2 Samuel 5:7
@@@^“How can any one with an honest heart help but see the need of a reformation in the church? What a sad thing to think that some in the church don’t want to hear the message. I feel that God has set His hand to do a quick work. I have feared that He would do this and that I would not know when it was going on, but I am so glad He has made it known to me so I can be ready.”
2 Samuel 6:3
@@@^“Through the whole disgraceful procedure, the five were calm and of good spirit, and afterwards one brother said that he never felt so happy and free before. The event has already proven a blessing to all, for since being cast out, each is now more burdened to work for the brethren, and we pray that God will bless our labors to save them from the awful destruction just ahead.” @3Signed) John Berolinger@4Escondido, Calif.
2 Samuel 6:4
@@@^“The Present Truth of the Third Angel’s Message (the angel of Rev. 18:1), as revealed in the SRod, has filled my soul, and the power of the Holy Spirit has convinced me that a great reformation is now in progress, and I thank God for reforming influence in my own life.
2 Samuel 6:10
@@@^“I have felt for some time that the little tithe I have should go to ‘the storehouse’–where present truth is–so last week I decided to send it, for if the message is of God, we should support it and be willing to suffer for Christ’s sake. Please pray for me that I may be strong in faith.
2 Samuel 8:5
@@@^The chief reasons for refusing to separate ourselves from the body and for regularly attending Sabbath School and church services, other than the singular reason that we would be without privilege of public worship in God’s church, is that after the congregation is dismissed we come into contact with the brethren and find an opportunity to speak of the message, urging them to investigate for themselves either by attending our studies or by reading the publications of present truth. Hence, if we separate ourselves by staying away from the churches, we give them the opportunity to accuse us of being an offshoot from the body, and ourselves lose the occasion to contact the people. Moreover, if we separate ourselves from the organization, then in the fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, when those who have not the mark are taken away, we shall have no right to claim possession of the denomination.
2 Samuel 8:9
@@@^Answer: The denominational papers, excepting the quotations from the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, at the present time cannot be of a higher spiritual quality than the denomination itself. It is impossible for the writings of the contributors to these papers to radiate greater light than that which is in the writers themselves. The Review & Herald can be the mouthpiece of God only when those who write in it are in personal contact with Him, “walking in the light, as He is in the light.”
2 Samuel 8:11
@@@^However, we see no reason for condemning these publications, for they are not responsible in themselves. The object of the message which God has sent in the SRod is not to condemn the papers but to bring about a reformation among us as a people. Hence, if and when the men who contribute to the papers be reformed, then the publications will also be transformed and filled with present truth, and be powerful to reform others.
2 Samuel 10:7
@@@^@9Question:@7 “Where is the statement in the Spirit of Prophecy that says if we pray to know God’s will when He has plainly told us what to do in His Word, hoping that He will answer our prayers more to suit the tenor of our feelings, that Satan will be left to answer them for us?”
1 Kings 1:1
@@@^“’Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.’ John 14:1-3.
1 Kings 1:2
@@@^“Long have we waited for our Saviour’s return. But none the less sure is the promise. @9Soon@7 we shall be in our promised home. There Jesus will lead us beside the living stream, flowing from the throne of God, and will explain to us the dark providences through which on this earth He brought us in order to perfect our characters. There we shall behold with undimmed vision the beauties of Eden restored. Casting at the feet of the Redeemer the crowns that He has placed on our heads, and touching our golden harps, we shall @9fill@7 all heaven with praise to Him that sitteth on the throne.” 8 T 254.
1 Kings 2:1
@@@^“We certainly are having plenty of opposition here. They now have guards at the doors to keep us from entering, though it has been very cold weather. Last Sabbath the elder tacked a notice on the church. We were told by the Home Missionary Secretary that the notice was our Sabbath School lesson. The warning was to the effect that anyone disturbing was subject to a $50 fine or 30 days in jail! The elder made the remark to one of the company that he wished we would do something so that he could put us in jail! The hatred they manifest is awful, and they claim the right to guard the doors because God cast Satan out of heaven and because the angels have to carry golden cards before they are admitted into the Holy City!
1 Kings 2:9
@@@^“This prophecy has been fulfilled in a marked manner. Every indignity, reproach, and cruelty that Satan could instigate human hearts to devise, has been visited upon the followers of Jesus. @9And it will be again fulfilled in a marked manner;@7 for the carnal heart is still at enmity with the law of God, and will not be subject to its commands. The world is no more in harmony with the principles of Christ today than it was in the days of the apostles. The same hatred that prompted the cry, ‘Crucify Him! crucify Him!’ the same hatred that led to the persecution of the disciples, @9still@7 works in @9the children of disobedience@7. The same spirit which in the Dark Ages consigned men and women to prison, to exile, and to death, which conceived the exquisite torture of the Inquisition, which planned and executed the massacre of St. Bartholomew, and which kindled the fires of Smithfield, is @9still@7 at work with malignant energy @9in unregenerate hearts@7. The history of truth has ever been the record of a struggle between right and wrong. The proclamation of the gospel has ever been carried forward in this world in the face of opposition, peril, loss, and suffering.” A.A. 84-5.
1 Kings 2:10
@@@^“The apostle knew that he could not look for justice from @9the people@7 (the church) who by their @9crimes@7 were @9bringing down upon themselves the wrath of God@7. He knew that, like the prophet Elijah, he would be safer among the heathen than with @9those who@7 had @9rejected light from heaven@7 and @9hardened their hearts against the gospel@7.
1 Kings 3:3
@@@^The S.D.A. church, repeating the history of the Jews (5 T 160), will be swayed by its “priests” and “rulers” today to take a course against “the faithful servants of God” “similar to that followed by the priests and rulers in their treatment of Christ’s and the Apostles’”. As the 144,000 become more and more like their Saviour, “the light of the world,” making manifest the “darkness and error” enveloping the church, the leaders in their “fanatical hatred” of the saints will move “the mob to a mad fury” against them and, in desperation born of blind and raging hatred, will reach out for the civil arm of power to accomplish their evil ends, merging the following type into antitype.
1 Kings 3:4
@@@^“Thus by choosing a heathen ruler (Caesar–symbol of the power of this world), the Jewish nation had @9withdrawn@7 from the @9theocracy@7. (Here see 7 T 109, par. 1 in connection with 5 T 75, last par., and 5 T 456, bottom of page.) They had rejected God as their king. Henceforth they had no deliverer. They had no king but Caesar. To this the @9priests@7 and @9teachers had led the people@7. For this, with the fearful results that followed, @9they were responsible@7. @9A nation’s sin and a nation’s ruin were due to the religious leaders@7.” D.A. 738.
1 Kings 3:7
@@@^Speaking of the S.D.A. church, the Spirit of God says: “Who can truthfully say, ‘Our gold is tried in the fire; our garments are unspotted by the world’? I saw our instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them off, He laid bare the defilement beneath. Then He said to me: ‘Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? ‘How is the faithful city become an harlot?’ My Father’s house is made a @9house of merchandise@7, a place whence the @9divine presence and glory have departed@7! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.”’ 8 T 250.
1 Kings 5:8
@@@^I thank God that, in a call like that, we do not need time for a special preparation, but can claim that wonderful promise of the Lord that when we are delivered up to the councils or brought before governors or kings for His name’s sake, we shall take no thought how or what we shall speak, for it shall be given us in the same hour.
1 Kings 5:11
@@@^I then gave my conviction that the S.D.A. church is the only church on earth today that God recognizes as His church, and that this movement will go through to the kingdom; but that the present spiritual condition of the church is so deplorable that a revival and reformation must needs take place to save us, in proof of which I read several statements from the Testimonies, until it got so uncomfortable for them that they limited me and demanded a straight answer to the question as whether or not I believed the SRod.
1 Kings 6:1
@@@^Well they voted me out on the grounds that I do not believe as the church does; but how can I believe as they do, when they have drifted so far from the old landmarks as publicly to state that Sr. White’s writings come from the devil? God forgive them for they know not what they do. @3(Signed) Mrs. Anna Engen@4Glendale, Calif.
