@@@^Obviously, then, though the heathen used the term, god, when addressing their idols, as some use the title, father, for a person who is not their father, yet in so doing, they thereby no more truly made any idol God, than they thereby truly made the titles of the true God, the titles of idols; no more, in fact, than do those who misuse the word, father, so pollute it that we now need to call our earthly parent by some other title.
Luke 9:1
@@@^Furthermore, the fact that the apostle Paul under Inspiration declared God unto the heathen, not in the terms (@9Jehovah, Elohim@7, et al.) of his intelligence and informed faith, but in the terms (The Unknown God) of their ignorance and uninformed faith, shows that God accepted forms of address to Himself other than the Jewish names.
John 2:8
@@@^“For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing; for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.” Rom. 7:15-25.
John 4:5
@@@^“I beg of you, my brother, to search your heart diligently and inquire, ‘What road am I traveling, and where will it end?’ You have reason to rejoice that your life has not been cut off while you have no certain hope of eternal life. God forbid that you should longer neglect this work, and so perish in your sins. Do not flatter your soul with false hopes. You see no way to get hold again, but one so humble that you cannot consent to accept it. Christ presents to you, even to you, my erring brother, a message of mercy, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ God is ready to accept you, and to pardon all your transgressions, if you will but come. Though you have been a prodigal, and have separated from God, and stayed away from him so long, he will meet you even now. ‘Yes; the Majesty of Heaven invites you to come to Him, that you may have life. Christ is ready to cleanse you from sin when you lay hold upon Him. What profit have you found in serving sin? What profit in serving the flesh and the devil? Is it not poor wages you receive? Oh! turn ye, turn ye; for why will ye die?
John 4:7
@@@^“It is not required of you to confess to those who know not your sin and errors. It is not your duty to publish a confession which will lead unbelievers to triumph; but to those to whom it is proper, who will take no advantage of your wrong, confess according to the word of God, and let them pray for you, and God will accept your work, and will heal you. For your soul’s sake, be entreated to make thorough work for eternity. Lay aside your pride, your vanity, and make straight work. Come back again to the fold. The Shepherd is waiting to receive you. Repent, and do your first works, and again come into favor with God.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 2, pp. 293-296.
John 10:5
@@@^“That God may bless all at Mt. Carmel Center, that the work may soon be finished, is my daily prayer.” @3Mrs. Rose Lange@4Glendora, California
Acts 27:2
@@@^The prevailing belief that the number “666” is the numerical identification of some other power, is the spawn of the Prince of Darkness, and is calculated to conceal if possible the identification of this two-horn power. Inspiration puts the number on the two-horn beast, and there we must leave it. When the number is finally made up, the servants of God will be able to convince all the “wise” as to just whom the beast symbolizes. We now see, though, that no one who studies the Word of God, need be deceived when this power does appear on the stage of action. Yet notwithstanding God’s warning against giving allegiance to the beast, the world fails to give heed, with the result that even after his number is made up, “he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.” Rev. 13 :16.
Acts 51:3
@@@^@9Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for My holy name; after that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against Me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. Neither will I hide My face any more from them: for I have poured out My Spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.” Ezek. 39:9-13, 25-29. @7
Acts 82:1
@@@^@9“Neither shall he regard the god of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.” Verses 37, 39. @7
Acts 92:3
@@@^And now having heard “the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Eccles. 12:13. Now rise and shine, make the Psalmist’s praise your own; say, “O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared Thy wondrous works.” “O Lord, Thou art my God; I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name; for Thou hast done wonderful things; Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.” Ps. 71:17; Isa. 25:1.
Romans 9:8
@@@^For sometime I have been thinking of writing you in regard to the tracts I have received from you. At first I did not understand them, and did not study them deeply as we had been warned against them. But when I received the tract, @9Hear Both Sides of the Controversy@7, I read it through, then went back to the other tracts and really studied them, and the Lord opened my eyes, and things are quite clear to me. I am an earnest seeker for Truth. I have so often wondered about Sister White’s statement that there would be a great reformatory movement among God’s people, a revival of primitive godliness. I long to see this revival among God’s people, for truly we are in a lukewarm condition. I long to have it in my own life, for things seem so different from when I first accepted this message sixteen years ago. Will be glad to receive more tracts, especially @9The Harvest@7. @3R. J. F.
Romans 12:9
@@@^So every Christian, if he would be obedient to God’s commands, must be loyal to the country in which he lives. Wherefore, as Christians in America, devoted to God, and consequently loyal to the just principles of this free “government under God,” we “pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” And so long as Old Glory unfurls itself as the emblem of the inviolate principles of its constitution, so long is our pledge of allegiance to it an inviolate thing.
Romans 13:3
@@@^Before the kingdom of God is established on this earth, it must be formed within us, to qualify us to dwell in it. Accordingly, “the kingdom of God . . . within,” is within all who embody the principles of its rule while they are subjects of the kingdoms of the earth. In fine, then, “the kingdom of God . . . within” is a moral and spiritual regimen of life—the indispensable condition of admission to the literal kingdom.
1 Corinthians 28:1
@@@^“ . . . saith the Lord God; . . . I will bring . . . Nebuchadnezzar king of @9Babylon@7, . . . from the @9north@7.” Ezek. 26:7. Again: when the Jews were returning from Babylon to Jerusalem, God spoke through His prophet Zechariah, saying: “Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the @9land of the north@7” (Zech. 2:6), thus identifying Babylon as “the north country.” But as we are dealing with the fulfillment of prophecy in the New Testament era, the north country in this connection must be antitypical Babylon — Christianized Rome — where God’s people during the New Testament period have gone. This clear-cut truth concerning the second chariot, leads us to the exposition of
1 Corinthians 40:1
@@@^“Now I want to say, God has not put any kingly power in our ranks to control this or that branch of the work. The work has been greatly restricted by the efforts to control it in every line. Here is a vineyard presenting its barren places that have received no labor. And if one should start out to till these places in the name of the Lord, unless he should get the permission of the men in a little circle of authority, he would receive no help. God means that His workers shall have help. If a hundred should start out on a mission to destitute fields, crying unto God, He would open the way before them.
1 Corinthians 42:2
@@@^The former say: “He is too merciful to visit His people in judgment” by fulfilling Ezekiel 9 upon them, while the latter sigh and cry for the abominations in the midst thereof. Thus whereas behind the grisled horses there is a crying of God’s visitation, there is ahead of the bay, a crying of “peace and safety . . . from men who will @9never again@7 lift up their voice like a trumpet to show @9God’s people@7 their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins. These dumb dogs, that would not bark,” says the founder of the church, “are the ones who feel the just vengeance of an offended God. Men, maidens, and little children, all perish together.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 211.
1 Corinthians 55:1
@@@^“What would Jesus say to us today if He were here? Would He undertake to cleanse the temples of our hearts and to drive out the spirit of Sadduceeism, of materialism, of worldly conformity? I believe He would. I believe what we need today, as a group of educators and leaders, more than anything else, is something that cannot come to us from any committee on resolutions, and that is a revival of primitive godliness. Would God that this convention may not close until that something comes to us — not a revival of merely lip service. But a revival of heart and of life, a change of practice, a change that will help us to true up our objectives in this great movement. Today I plead with you all to take your eyes off the world, and fix them upon the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. Let us talk more about what He is to this movement, than we do about some other things that engage so much of our time and conversation . . . ” — @9Review and Herald@7, Vol. 114, No. 41, October 14, 1937, pp. 4-6.
1 Corinthians 68:1
@@@^Yours is “to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.” Isa. 61:1, 2. What an unmatched privilege! God forbid that any forfeit it. @8@4Sincerely yours for implicit trust in God and for green pasture for His flock, @4Your friend and servant
2 Corinthians 12:12
@@@^Thus as one’s disobedience to God’s commands may work harm upon his nation as well as upon himself, a Christian therefore bears the double responsibility of doing all in his power to safeguard the welfare and to promote the success of both the spiritual and the temporal kingdoms. And to insure his fully acquitting himself of this weighty twofold responsibility, he will implicitly obey the Lord’s command: “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Mark 12:17. “And I,” says the Lord in promise to the obedient, “will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Gen. 12:3.
2 Corinthians 15:9
@@@^In a subject involving the Kingdom, Sister White wrote: “’Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.’ Man in his present state is mortal, corruptible; but the kingdom of God will be incorruptible, enduring forever. Therefore man in his present state cannot enter into the kingdom of God. But when Jesus comes, He confers immortality upon His people; and then He calls them to inherit the kingdom of which they have hitherto been only heirs.
