@@@^For over ten years I was happy in the truth, but later, as I saw the church of God departing from the fundamental principles, I felt the Lord was going to do something for us. Ever since I received the copy of the SRod, a glimpse of light was in my spiritual eyes in such a way that I could read this wonderful book many times... because I had a desire to understand about the 144,000....
Esther 2:4
@@@^@@From Georgia@0Dear Brethren:@^The SRod message has wonderfully reformed me since the last month. I have corrected my eating and conversation and have gained a greater love for my brethren. Yes, it makes me sad that only so few are enough interested in their salvation to study the truth for themselves. Too many forget that God is just, and merciful. @3(Signed) P.
Esther 3:9
@@@^Ans. This question is answered by Isa. 66:16, for there, too, is stated that He will “plead with all flesh,” and the September number of the Code, p. 7 proves that the Lord begins to plead with all flesh in the proclamation of the sealing message and the fulfillment of Ezekiel Nine in the church and will end at the close of probation when the Third Angel’s Message shall have been proclaimed in all the world for a witness unto all nations. Therefore, by the manifestation of God’s judgments, and by the preaching of the message in the time of the Loud Cry “in all the world for a witness unto all nations” He pleads “with all flesh.”
Esther 3:11
@@@^Ans. If the children are rejected by the church school, then as there is nothing else one can do, the next best thing is to send them to the public school until the Lord gives us further light on this subject. However, those who take the responsibility to turn a child out from school just because the child, according to his conscience, would rather obey God than the traditions of men, the Lord says: “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” (Lu. 17:2.)
Esther 3:13
@@@^Ans. These institutions legally belong to the members of the S.D.A. denomination and therefore, when those who do not receive the seal of God in their foreheads fall under the slaughter weapons of the angels, naturally the ones who are left will be the legal owners of all the denominational assets, and as only those who have the seal will be left, there will be no controversy about the legal ownership of the institutions. Though many will be disfellowshipped this would have no bearing as long as we stay with the denomination whether they recognize us as members or not. This condition will prove that the membership is split in factions, and as one faction passes away the other that remains would naturally constitute the denomination and control all its institutions. Moreover, the ministerial faction has neither legal right nor religious ground upon which to disfellowship any of us, for we have done nothing to give them the right to cast us out. If we even now went to law we could win back our membership, for we stand true to the fundamental principles upon which the institutions were erected and the denomination founded, but as they have departed from them and are refusing to get back, on one hand by their conduct they will prove to the legal authorities that they are unlawfully taking possession of the denomination, while on the other hand we by our good behavior will prove to be the legal owners of it. Hence, denying us membership without any legal or religious ground does not make them right and us wrong.
Esther 5:3
@@@^The questioner has doubtless heard many fairy tales about the SRod and its great work, for we find that most of the people, even those who claim to believe that the teaching of the SRod is inspired, are inclined to question, criticize, find fault, rather than to help make this charitable institution a fitting place for God’s presence and for a blessing to His people–”the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind” of the “streets and lanes of the city”–and sad to say that those who have done the least to help us with their money are the first to find fault and the most zealous that their plans and ideas should be followed in this “closing work for the church”–the laying of the foundation for the finishing of the great closing work for the whole world.
Esther 6:4
@@@^One of the prevailing disorders of our day is gastritis, especially among S.D.A.’s. This sickness, as well as many others, is a warning to God’s people that it is the result of neglecting to live the principles of health reform, and that since the time the light on this subject came to us as a people there has been a curse resting upon us.
Esther 8:5
@@@^Those who neglect to conform to these health principles, need not think if they are sick, or if they get sick, that God is going to work a miracle to restore them to health, and should not ask us to pray for them. If He should heal them, most people would take it as an evidence that He has approved of their transgressions against nature.
Job 1:4
@@@^Therefore, let all who are standing in the light arise “as an army with banners” if they want God’s blessings from this mount, and together with us put the shoulder to the wheel and help push over this heavily loaded chariot with the “firstfruits” to its home destination.
Job 1:6
@@@^But above all we thank our heavenly Father, not only for His tender care and guiding hand in preparing us for the proclamation of the sealing message, but also for His never failing Word which always lightens our path for some distance ahead of our feet, in that He has foretold that at this time “the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.” (Zech. 12:8.)
Job 1:7
@@@^Therefore, let us unitedly, as one, raise our voices and say: “Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean...Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.” For thus saith the Lord: “For Zion’s sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.” (Isa. 52:1; 62:1-3, 12.)
Job 3:5
@@@^@@Dear Brethren: @^As it is almost impossible to write personally to all of you, I am happy to report through this little paper that I am again in the eastern part of our great fertile field of the “firstfruits,” and that God’s mighty hand has lead me all the way.
Job 3:7
@@@^We find our people everywhere, hungering and thirsting for the truth, and many of them are conscious that God is about to visit His church in a special way, and thus when the message of present truth is presented to them, they eagerly take hold of it in spite of the fear the enemy of truth has created in their hearts by telling them not to listen to anyone who sympathizes with us in “the straight testimony of the True Witness to the Laodiceans.”
Job 4:1
@@@^@@Dear Brethren in Present Truth:@^It is my desire to study The Shepherd’s Rod message more fully. As we are to try the spirits and be fully persuaded in our own mind, I will let no one take away from me my God given liberty; I will study for myself.
Job 4:3
@@@^I came to town Wednesday and went to church but, as usual, could not get in, and as the rest of the Shepherd’s Rod believers are away, I had to stay out all by myself. It was a great temptation for me to stay away from church, for I knew that none of those who believe in present truth would be there. It was so hard to stand alone, but I knew God was with me, and so I stayed. Pray for me that I may forever remain faithful. @3(Signed) Mrs. N. W.
Job 5:3
@@@^In the beginning of this chapter he sums his own statement of verse 1 by saying: “Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.” (verse 2.) Then he continues: “Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned.” (verses 24, 27, 28.)
Job 5:8
@@@^To our knowledge, the Bible nowhere forbids anyone getting married if he so desires and if the act is to glorify God–marrying within the faith and for serving Him better than before. “This is a true saying,” says Paul to Timothy, “If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the @9husband of one wife@7.” (1 Tim. 3:1, 2.)
Job 6:1
@@@^If the enemy should by his temptations cause us to set out on such a satanic program, “forbidding to marry,” he would by our own earnest efforts destroy the message which we are to bear to the whole world; for, if we “forbid to marry,” we by that act would be helping Satan and in turn, with zeal and certainty, he will call attention to the above quoted scripture and proclaim far and wide that our message instead of being from God is from “seducing spirits.”!
Job 6:2
@@@^The sealing message which we bear nowhere forbids marrying. Therefore, if God, Who has instituted the marriage relation has not discontinued it, then for any of us to attempt to do so would be committing as great a sin as if we should attempt to remove any one commandment of His law or ordinances which He has instituted. No one has the right to impose his ideas upon others as their final guide of life. No one should attempt to become a criterion for all.
Job 6:4
@@@^God has authorized no one to dictate to others as to whether they should live a married or single life, or whom they should marry and whom they should not other than to pass his or her opinion if so requested by the parties concerned. Parents can advise but when their advice is not appreciated and rejected, they should do as the Father of the prodigal–let them have their way lest they should lose them for ever.
