@@@^If from the beginning till today “the whole earth was of one speech” (Gen. 11:1), and had the day never dawned when “the Lord did confound the language of all the earth” (Gen. 1 1 :9), then only could God’s worshipers address Him in the language of Eden. But in view of the fact that from that hour to this, diversity and confusion of tongues have been the linguistic lot of the human race, the Lord has never restricted His word to one universal medium of expression, but rather has accommodated it to all “the peoples and multitudes and nations, and tongues” of earth, thus accounting for
Luke 5:2
@@@^To the Jew, the words, @9Elohim, Elowahh@7, @9Elahh,@7 and @9El@7 mean Mighty One, Creator, the same as the word, God, in common acceptation, means to the Anglo-Saxon; the word, @9Otheos,@7 to the Greek; the word, @9Bog@7, to the Slav; @9Gott@7, to the German; @9Gud@7, to the Scandinavian; @9Dios@7, to the Spaniard, and @9Allah@7, to the Turk.
Luke 6:1
@@@^Therefore the words @9Elohim@7 and its variants God, @9Theos, Bog, Gott Gud, Dios, Allah,@7 Lord, and so on, are, loosely, counterparts in their respective languages, the general signification of all of them being, in a broad sense, the same as that of the English name, lord, which is a title of respect given to a husband, to a nobleman, to an owner, to a proprietor, or to a certain official personage.
Luke 7:3
@@@^All the generic terms, in the various languages, are designative of @9what@7 God is, rather than of @9Who@7 He is; in other words, these terms are the titles of His nature and character, rather than of His identity. Therefore, if they were not translated into the languages of the nations, they would be meaningless to the people.
Luke 10:2
@@@^However, the most ancient and hallowed Hebrew name for God was not only never commonly pronounced, but was even so-spelled, in an abbreviated form, that it could not be pronounced; so much so, that the original pronunciation is not known. All we know for sure is the
John 2:2
@@@^Let us, therefore, during 1941, avail ourselves of all God’s showers of mercy, as does the blade of corn, and appreciatively put them to good use. For if we fail to make our seasonal spiritual growth, we shall, in the time of harvest, be unfit for the heavenly garner, as immatured corn is unfit for the earthly garner. To insure normal growth, one needs
John 2:4
@@@^Righteousness by faith is, therefore, the doing of deeds which only in faith bear the evidence of righteousness,—the substance sustaining the hope of something which does not now appear. For example, if, like Abraham, we do without delay all that God has revealed to us, even though we see ourselves unrighteous as did Isaiah when he saw the Lord (Isa. 6:5), then the moment we repent of, and forsake, our evil deeds, we accept, by faith, the unseen reality that the Lord has cleansed us from them. At that moment, we stand, in His sight, not in ours, “as white as snow.” Isa. 1:18. This does not mean, however, that we now count ourselves to have reached perfection, and that we are no longer subject to sin, “for a just man falleth seven times and riseth up again.” Prov. 24:16.
John 2:5
@@@^To illustrate: there are a man, woman, boy, and girl, who are always well-dressed and immaculately clean. Not that their clothes do not stain, nor ever wear out; they naturally do. That is something that cannot be avoided. Nevertheless, these persons always keep themselves spotless and clean. But how do they do it?—By simple, ceaseless care: they bathe as often as necessary, wash their clothes as soon as they begin to soil, and mend or replace them without delay. In like manner is the Christian’s faith kept intact. He studies the Word of God, complies with all its requirements, repents as often as he sins, and arises and keeps in the race. And if he makes a mistake, he immediately corrects it. Likewise if he offends, he without delay reconciles the offended one. He is not prejudiced. He does not find fault with others, but with himself. He does not criticize a brother for having a mote in his eye; rather, he pulls the beam out of his own eye (Matt. 7:3-5). He grants liberty of conscience to all, and delights to “let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” Rom. 14:5. He does not impose his ideas and his standards of living upon others. He never demands confession, but is always ready to confess and to forgive. He “pleases all men in all things, not seeking” his “own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.” I Cor. 10:33. In thus complying with the golden rule (Matt. 7:12), by faith he keeps himself spotless while helping others. As a result, Christ freely cleanses him “with the washing of the water by the Word,” and grafts him into the beautiful vine, the church. He does this, that He “might present . . . to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Eph. 5:27.
John 2:6
@@@^Thus one who lives righteously by faith obtains an eternal reward; whereas “the wicked” falls “into mischief,” and like the praying Pharisee, thinking himself to be righteous, characteristically says: “God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.” Luke 18:11.
John 2:7
@@@^We now live the life of Christ by faith; but in the kingdom—the substance of our hope—where “the evidence of things” @9is@7 seen, we shall live by sight, “for now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face.” I Cor. 13:12. The life which we now live is a battle and a march; a defeat and a victory; a struggle to overcome. This daily battle between the Spirit of God and the spirit of man, the apostle Paul sets forth, as follows:
John 3:3
@@@^“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. . . . ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” Isa. 55:7, 9, 12.
John 3:7
@@@^Like Nebuchadnezzar during his wildlife experience, we, too, are living in a world that is unnatural to sinless beings. Consequently, if our hearts and thus our natures were changed now, while we are yet living among the sinful nations, we could no more endure the trial than could Nebuchadnezzar with his human heart have endured the winter exposure, or have enjoyed the company of the beasts, or yet relished grass and straw. Indeed, the fellowship of sinners, in the environment of sin, would be utterly desolating to a saint with a spiritual heart, upon which is written the law of God.
John 5:2
@@@^We are happy to assure you that through God’s great mercy, along with your faithful cooperation, the work is steadily advancing. We are confident, however, that you, like us, are not satisfied to continue at the same pace. Therefore, we must pray and labor without ceasing, to make 1941 the year of years—ten in one. This goal ought to engross the whole mind, the whole attention. And let no one be so foolish as to attempt in any way to silence the heralds of the kingdom, for even should they be silenced, then the very stones would cry out.
John 5:7
@@@^“Upon receiving a study several years ago from Dr. ———— upon ‘The Warning Paradox,’ I accepted this wonderful Present-Truth message as the light from God, and I have never once doubted it. Indeed, it has ever since been the guiding light in my life.” @3Mrs. P. J. Florreich@3Los Angeles, California
John 5:12
@@@^“Ever since the day at the age of 12, when I first read 2 Chron. 1:9-12, which tells of Solomon’s asking the Lord to give him wisdom, I thought it a good example for me also. And today I am more and more convinced that the God of Israel @9has@7 led me. . . .
John 6:11
@@@^“The wonderful light that has come to us, is more precious to us than is life. Our only desire is that we may each day walk humbly before our God, that we may help others, and that we may be found worthy in this great finishing work. We know that, with the help of the Lord, the good work that He has begun in us, He will finish.” @3Mr. and Mrs. Paul Georgel@3Milwaukee, Wisconsin
John 7:9
@@@^“A little later, the S. D. A. message came, and has been my sole comfort and still is even now, for I was so sure we were the people, and thank God we are! But to become ‘those who are @9left@7 in Zion, and @9remaineth@7 in Jerusalem,’ we must have the added Message.
John 8:4
@@@^“At this time, a deep heart-searching revealed to me that God could not place His seal upon me. I became nearly heart-broken over my spiritual condition. I was troubled night and day, and was impressed to visit a friend and relate to him the experience I was having. A Present Truth (SRod) believer was staying with him. We had not spoken many minutes, until I was convinced he had the very message I needed.
John 8:16
@@@^“I received Vol. 1 of SRod in 1930. When I read it, I believed it was a message from God to me. It found me sound asleep, and awakened me to my spiritual condition. I discovered that I was in need of everything. I accepted Vol. 1 100%, then Vol. 2 came, and that increased my faith in the message; and so with all the tracts following them. Now I am rejoicing in the Light that this wonderful message has brought to me. It grows brighter every day, and I thank the Lord for it, for it means everything to me. @3R. A. Boynton@3Austell, Georgia
John 10:6
@@@^“God knows that my testimony is true. My eyes are blurred with tears. I can hardly see to write, but I do hope I might help save some one in this wide world. I can’t thank the Lord enough for the privilege of testifying of the hope that the message has brought to me.” @3Mrs. Florence Burgess@3Manton, Michigan
