Page 96 of 1472 Corinthians 17:2
@@@^So far as we are concerned, therefore, the responsibility for existing controversy and schism is all the denomination’s, and none of ours, for we are only obeying the Lord’s command forbidding one’s compromising the Truth. And they themselves admit that we must obey God rather than men. Upon the denomination, therefore, rests the heavy guilt of rejecting the message of the hour and of casting out those who accept it, thus repeating the tragic folly of the Jews in Christ’s time.
2 Corinthians 17:6
@@@^“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 the sinners in Zion will be sifted out. The chaff is separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouth. The remnant that purify their souls by obeying the truth gather strength from the trying process, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy. . . .
2 Corinthians 17:8
@@@^Were the Lord—Who Himself when upon earth spent all His time in the exclusive endeavor to save His lost church then—to send us to the world rather than to His lost church today, He not only would be bringing in the innocent to perish with the guilty but also would be violating His Own practice and countermanding His Own orders to His apostles that they preach present truth first to the church (Matt. 10:5, 6).
2 Corinthians 17:16
@@@^As publishers of the Present Truth series of books and tracts in the interest of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, our duty now is to work only within the church. Then when we have accomplished this work (when the “firstfruits” therein have been sealed), Michael will stand up to deliver every one whose name is found written in the book (Dan. 12:1)—every one who has the seal: for they are then entering into the time of trouble such as never was. And while standing, He shall send “this pure, true, sanctified ministry” (B:55-1886), 144,000 in number, “unto the nations” to declare His “glory among the Gentiles” (Isa. 66:19), and to deliver the rest of His people.
2 Corinthians 18:9
@@@^Thus putting aside your own thoughts and your own ways, and availing yourselves of the Lord’s (Isa. 55:8, 9), in exclusive devotion to the Spirit of, Truth, you will see eye to eye, and speak the same thing. Then only will you be able to dispel the spirit of confusion and to retain the Spirit of love and unity.
2 Corinthians 18:16
@@@^“If unity,” says the Spirit of Prophecy, in expressing the attitude of the early Christian church, “could be secured only by the compromise of truth and righteousness, then let there be difference and even war.”—@9The Great Controversy@7, p. 45.
2 Corinthians 19:1
@@@^“There is danger of our being so overzealous to keep out of Babylon,” says the founder of the S. D. A. church, “that we shall commit her most noted blunder—that of sticking a stake and refusing to pull it up and advance. When we cease to unlearn errors, we shall fall like those who have gone before us. We have learned much, and no doubt there is much more for us to learn. . . . It is the ‘follow on’ and the ‘go through’ spirit that will finally land the remnant ‘without fault’ on the heavenly Mount Zion. My conclusion is that we should give up no Scripture truth, but that our false applications and interpretations of Scripture, and consequent false ideas of order and propriety, should be given up as fast as possible.”—@9The Review and Herald@7, May 29, 1860.
2 Corinthians 19:7
@@@^The @9Testimonies@7, moreover, rather than being given expressly to reveal Present Truth, “meat in due season,” were given primarily to furnish counsel, admonition, reproof, and instruction in righteousness in an endeavor to save the Laodiceans from being spued out. Any other of her writings remained in their prophetic aspects @9a mystery@7 until the forty years expired with the arrival of @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7.
2 Corinthians 19:10
@@@^Thus this irregularity, a mark of divine design rather than the result of human shortsightedness, shows that the Bible and the Lord, the written and the living Word, are the very source of, every message,—the storehouse of the whole Truth,—and that therefore rather than being a part of another message, every other message is a part of It.
2 Corinthians 20:10
@@@^In Romans 14:5, 6, Paul is endeavoring to correct unfair criticism by admonishing the believers that everyone must be persuaded in his own conscience, and that the duty of a Christian is to keep, speak, and teach the Truth, not to demand obedience to it; not to despise those who eat or those who do not, or those who esteem one day above another, but to let all be fully persuaded in their own minds. Their duty is to be altogether-Christians, having minds of their own, but ever being ready to forgo them for the Lord’s.
2 Corinthians 22:2
@@@^For example, John the Baptist’s message was to proclaim, not the setting up of the Kingdom, but the coming of the King. But while announcing the one, he incidentally had to make mention of the other. When speaking of the coming King, he expressed himself in terms of revealed truth. But when circumstantially alluding to the coming Kingdom, on which there was no light, he necessarily expressed himself in terms of the subject as then commonly understood.
2 Corinthians 22:8
@@@^Every Christian should remember that as the Truth is ever advancing, It will not be found today where It was a hundred years ago, and that therefore Its followers must advance with It. They will not follow the example of the Jews and of the Romans.
2 Corinthians 22:13
@@@^Failing to advance with the advancing Truth, the Jews found fault with the prophets and the apostles, even with the Son of God Himself, justifying their criminal actions on the ground that the claims of the prophets, of Christ, and of the apostles were unfounded in Moses’ writings. And while boasting of his writings, they denied and killed the prophets who came after him—a solemn warning to us! lest doing as they did, we meet their fate.
2 Corinthians 22:16
@@@^Let none now, therefore, treacherously use Sister White’s writings, as the Jews used Moses’ writings, against the advance of Truth, and to their own eternal hurt. There is no excuse for anyone. From every angle approached, the Bible clears the subject of the Kingdom, making impossible one’s erring if he follows precisely what the Word says concerning it.
2 Corinthians 22:17
@@@^The @9Rod@7 teaches, not that Jerusalem is to be rebuilt as the capitol city of the Kingdom, but that the Kingdom in its beginning is to be set up in the promised land. And in confirmation of the truth that God’s people are again to become a kingdom, Ezekiel prophesies of
2 Corinthians 24:11
@@@^We are confident that Present Truth believers will rejoice to know that a correspondence Teacher’s Course on the message is now in preparation, the first part of which, covering @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7, @9Vol. 1@7, is now available to full-fledged believers who have an earnest zeal to prepare themselves to teach the message.
2 Corinthians 24:13
@@@^As an eligibility requirement for enrollment, all enrollees are required herewith to test their ability in the science of Present Truth, by writing to us what they believe to be the correct interpretation of the symbols and colors of the Kingdom flag. (A picture of the flag is found in our @9Tract No. 13@7, p.31.)
Galatians 18:1
@@@^The fact that “in their mouth was found no guile” (Rev. 14:5), plainly goes to show that they are to proclaim nothing but pure gospel truth, and makes their words as authoritative and as mandatory as the written words of the prophets and of the apostles. Indeed these first fruits are invested with even greater power and authority: “In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.” Zech. 12:8.
Galatians 20:2
@@@^No Christian of any faith can honestly deny the church’s need of purification. And as the Lord never does anything without forewarning His church, He is now sending to her the message of purification, in order to give her a foretaste of future glory, so that as heaven’s clarion call to reformation continues sounding forth among His people, they may have a keen relish for its truth, and may give themselves wholeheartedly to the work of reform, right now while He is clearly laying before them His plan for the setting up of His kingdom with consequent results to the sinners. Those who give implicit heed to the call, shall have an irresistible desire to come fully into line and to have the Lord separate them from sin and sinners. They alone shall receive the seal of God and as the first fruits of the kingdom, 144,000 strong, stand with the Lamb on “Mount Zion”!
Galatians 29:1
@@@^“There must be,” says the Spirit of Prophecy, “a cleansing of the institutions similar to Christ’s cleansing of the temple of old. ‘It is written,’ saith the Lord, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.’ There are in our institutions today transactions similar to those that took place in the temple courts in Christ’s time; and all heaven is looking on . . . The Lord will work to purify His church. I tell you in truth, the Lord is about to turn and overturn in the institutions called by His name. Just how soon this refining process will begin, I cannot say, but it will not be long deferred. He Whose fan is in His hand will cleanse His temple of its moral defilement. He will thoroughly purge His floor.” — @9Brethren in Responsible Positions@7, Sept. 1895.
