| adventist commentary: What Every Seventh-Day Adventist Should Know About the Shepherd’S Rod Garrick D. Augustus, 2018-08-09 If you are a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, you have no doubt heard of The Shepherd’s Rod, a message of present truth and reform first presented to leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the years 1929 and 1930. It has created much controversy. In What Every Seventh-day Adventist Should Know about The Shepherd’s Rod, author Garrick D. Augustus brings to light the historic and the theological reasons behind the rejection of The Shepherd’s Rod message. It exposes the systematic misinformation, as well as the willful manipulations of the facts surrounding Victor Houteff and the movement he began more than eight decades ago. It provides clear and accurate answers to the questions raised against the Rod’s message. And, it answers the objections church leaders have historically offered as “proof” against its bearing the credentials of inspiration. Augustus fused the forensic methods of evidence analytics, as well as the investigative method of internal evidence analysis, to the claims brought against the message by the leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. His research took him from the Heritage Library in Loma Linda, California, to The Biblical Research Committee in Silver Spring Maryland, and beyond. What Every Seventh-day Adventist Should Know about The Shepherd’s Rod journeys through the pages of history and helps to separate truth from propaganda. It takes a fresh look at an old controversy that began in eternity past and has played itself out in the rank and file of Seventh-day Adventism. |

| adventist commentary: New by the Spirit Arnold Valentin Wallenkampf, 2006 Have you ever wondered if you have been baptized by the Holy Spirit? Do you have one or more of the gifts of the Spirit?

In this volume Pastor Wallenkampf has given of his best. Neither the topic nor its treatment needs apology. Here is a bible-based, dependable, and scholarly treatise that you will treasure for years to come.--Back cover. |
| adventist commentary: Exploring Romans George R. Knight, 2010 Romans is one of the few books in the New Testament that was not composed as a pastoral response to specific, localized problems. Instead this letter was written primarily to challenge and ultimately correct widespread misunderstandings about Christianity held by mid-first-century believers. Some of these beliefs are embraced even now. Paul's central focus in Romans is the means of obtaining salvation. Point by point, he systematically builds his case by articulating who needs salvation and why, the role of the law, God's response to the sin problem, resolution of the legal issues presented by sin, and the effect each has on the Christian's life. This devotional commentary divides the entire text into short passages that are followed by a detailed, user-friendly exegetical explanation and practical application to everyday life. The lives of such men as Martin Luther and John Wesley, whose writings helped shape Western history, were changed by the study of Romans. It will change your life as well. Book jacket. |

| adventist commentary: Out of Adventism Jerry A. Gladson, 2017-10-17 From its humble beginnings in the nineteenth century, Seventh-day Adventism has remarkably grown to become one of America's largest, home-grown faiths, numbering nearly nineteen million members worldwide. Yet Adventism harbors dark secrets within its history. This is the true story of how one Adventist pastor, and university and seminary professor discovered these dark secrets and learned through painful, personal experience that neither the denomination nor its doctrine could be trusted. As his odyssey takes him from pastoral assignments in rural and urban congregations and finally into teaching religion at an Adventist university, he suddenly finds himself caught up in the maelstrom of a church's greatest theological crisis. For him, the denomination's theology and practice agonizingly unravel, forcing him to choose between loyalty to his church, his vocation, and his personal integrity. Rich in anecdotes and personal experiences, Out of Adventism guides readers interested in religious history, cults, and sects through the ins and outs of a religious community in crisis. Along the way, the reader not only gets an insider's view of Adventism, but also discovers a careful critique of the peculiar teachings of Seventh-day Adventism. |

| adventist commentary: Adventist Interchurch Relations Stefan Höschele, 2022-09-05 This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of Seventhday Adventist interchurch relations – a 20-million member body whose ecumenical stance has so far been underresearched. For the sake of interpreting denominational involvement and reservations in Adventism as well as beyond, the study develops a new academic approach to ecumenism based on Relational Models Theory, a comprehensive social science paradigm of interpreting human relationships. The resulting typology of ecumenical interactions and the historical case study of Adventism suggest that such a relational interpretation of ecumenical interaction sheds light on many of the unresolved issues in ecumenics – such as divergent concepts of unity, difficulties in recognition processes, and the permanence of denominationalism. |

| adventist commentary: Apocalypse and Millennium Kenneth G. C. Newport, 2000-08-10 Apocalypse and Millennium argues that far from being a random sequence of bizarre statements, millennial schemes (including the setting of dates for the second coming of Christ) are more often characterised by highly complex and internally consistent interpretations of scripture. Such interpretations do not always result in positive outcomes. As an example, the work of David Koresh is examined at length. Koresh, styled by some the 'Wacko from Waco', clearly had views which some would find odd. However, his interpretation of scripture did not lack system or context, and to see him in that light is to begin to understand why his message had appeal, particularly to those of the Seventh-day Adventist tradition. The final three chapters in this book outline Koresh's thinking on end-time events and trace the line of his interpretative tradition from nineteenth-century Millerism through Seventh-day Adventism and Davidianism (which began in 1929).--BOOK JACKET. |
| adventist commentary: Nehemiah the Sabbath Reformer Marc Rasell, 2010 Nehemiah the Sabbath Reformer is a devotional book which recounts the exciting story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem under intense opposition. Despite threats, accusations and intimidation, Nehemiah and the people resolutely worked to repair the walls of the city, trusting in God for safety. The story has deep spiritual lessons for God's people at the end of time when they will be called to repair the breaches made in the law of God. Although the walls have been damaged the foundations remain; a work of reformation will restore the Sabbath which is the biggest hole that has been made in the wall of God's law. The last two chapters discuss the origin of the Sabbath and the moral law and how this relates to the gospel. Nehemiah's amazing story offers you a powerful gospel lesson you won't forget! |

| adventist commentary: Seventh-Day Adventists, Ellen G. White, and Salvation R. Van Orden, 2018-06-11 This book started out as an intense personal study by the author to evaluate and confirm his beliefs about God and salvation in regard to the teaching of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Why is it that so many Seventh-Day Adventists do not have the assurance of salvation? What criteria in the Bible and what specifically in Ellen G. White's writings might lead someone to believe they were not fit for heaven, that they did not qualify to be there, that God would not forgive them, and there was more required than just relying on Jesus's sacrifice to cover their sins? If they did not meet a strict set of rules, would God cast them aside in the end? In this book, you will find out just who are the saved, who are the lost, and what happens to them in the end and what end-times will look like according to Ellen G. White and the SDA Church. The author estimates he has spent well in excess of ten thousand hours and has read over fifteen thousand pages of material over a seven-year period in the preparation of this book. It is the author's hope and prayer that this book will make the reader question, not their belief in the saving grace of God and the loving sacrifice of Jesus but rather question anything that might have come between them and that grace. |
| adventist commentary: Infinite Risk Theology Stefano Salemi, 2025-03-19 Could God’s Son incarnate sin? Could the tomb have remained closed? Could the story have gone differently? More precisely, could God’s Son be eternally separated from the Father’s communion and eventually die and go out of existence? Mainstream theology often argued for Christ’s impossibility to change (immutability), be separated from the triune God (indivisibility), and sin (impeccability). Consequently, there was no potential risk to his life; his death on the cross could not affect in any form his divine life. Would the cross not need, instead, a risk to be a sacrifice? Here is where the question finds its raison d'être: Could God’s Son risk his eternal existence, losing himself forever with all humankind? This question is rarely considered or often neglected in Christological debates. Ellen G. White, a woman among the most prolific nineteenth-century authors and a prominent Adventist theologian, delves into what she calls the “infinite risk,” the potential reality of the death of God the Son. Drawing on her extensive writings, this book analyses White’s Christology, Incarnational model, and views of the Godhead and of what (could have) happened at the cross, cutting new paths in the comprehension of God’s love while challenging conventional theological paradigms. |
| adventist commentary: God's Amazing Atonement Pastor Rod Thompson, 2022-10-16 Like so many other topics from the Bible, the subject of atonement is exceedingly broad. However, you must study earthly sanctuary services, priestly ministry, Tabernacle furniture, sacrifices, and all of the shadows, types, and symbols that they represent if you want to understand God’s reconciliation plan for mankind. In this book, Pastor Rod Thompson draws on his decades of studying Bible prophecy to explore how God plans on restoring harmony with the universe and Himself. Part of the answer is Christ’s death on the cross. But God’s amazing atonement plan includes so much more than that. From the beginning of sin until the consummation of all things, God is working His plan of redemption, atonement, and reconciliation—and Jesus’s death on the cross is only one part of it. Find out what atonement really means and embrace the full picture of salvation with the insights and lessons in God’s Amazing Atonement. |
| adventist commentary: Profile of a Religious Man Edwin Zackrison, 2020-11-11 This book is a journey book. Sitting down at a computer and producing the story has been a grand trek. I have learned that there is a principle in nature that some things need to mellow, calm down, and soak in. The refusal of winemakers to take a wine before its time is a notion I am coming to understand. It works with writers as well. Like a fetus signaling its mother that it is time to head for the hospital, a literary work stays in the mind until its time. In my education, I have read of the battles of great Church leaders who were eventually thrown out of their churches. In my denominational education, I was largely led to see them as heretics, rebels, eccentrics, revolutionaries, apostates, and as generally representing a lower form of spirituality. Church education often asked me to surrender my biases in favor of accepting a new set of assumptions--my denominational ones. We were to be critical of everything except our organization. I submit that there is danger in that. This book will cover incidents from the first forty years of my life as a religious addict. You may find something here that you can identify with. |

| adventist commentary: Literacy and Religion Cushla Kapitzke, 1995-01-01 This book explores the interrelation of literacy and religion as practiced by Western Christians in, first, historical contexts and, second, in one contemporary church setting. Using both a case study and a Foucauldian theoretical framework, the book provides a sustained analysis of the reciprocal discursive construction of literacy, religiosity and identity in one Seventh-day Adventist Church community of Northern Australia. Critical linguistic and discourse analytic theory is used to disclose processes of theological (church), familial (home) and educational (school) normalisation of community members into regulated ways of hearing and speaking, reading and writing, being and believing. Detailed analyses of spoken and written texts taken from institutional and local community settings show how textual religion is an exemplary technology of the self, a politics constituted by canonical texts, interpretive norms, textual practices, ritualised events and sociopolitical protocols that, ultimately, are turned in upon the self. The purpose of these analyses is to show how, across denominational difference in belief (tradition) and practice, particular versions of self and society are constructed through economies of truth from text that constrain what can and cannot be articulated and enacted by believers. |

| adventist commentary: God's Sacred Occasions John R. Oliver MD, 2023-06-14 The Feasts of the Lord, or God’s Appointed Times, first appear in the Bible during the Exodus. There are three aspects to the Feasts of the Lord: 1. Agricultural, 2. Memorial, and 3. Prophetic. They are prophetic about both the First Advent and the Second Advent which means that some events prophesied have not happened yet. The Jewish calendar was to be determined by the New Moons and the ripening of barley in Israel and consisted of twelve or thirteen months. The first of the Appointed Times was Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Unfortunately, the Hebrews rarely observed the Feasts of the Lord and this ultimately led to their division and the Babylonian captivity. In Babylon they began to rely upon the Babylonians astronomical calculations as well as observations to try to determine when the Feasts of the Lord would occur. Finally in the fourth century, they began to rely solely on calculations to determine the dates of the Feasts of the Lord. The Feasts of the Lord played an important role during Christ’s time on earth. There were four Passovers during His ministry culminating in His crucifixion at the time of the fourth Passover. After His resurrection, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon His followers in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. The early Christian Church continued observance of the Feasts of the Lord. Paul observed Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread in Philippi. He was arrested at the time of Pentecost. The first breaks from the Feasts of the Lord began in the second century CE. The Feasts of the Lord are still important today because they were part of an oath from God, and He never breaks His oaths. Furthermore, we will be observing Feasts of the Lord in the New Earth. |

| adventist commentary: Our Wonderful Judge Allan Freed, 2019-05-14 It should go without saying that Christ is central to Christianity. Most Christians know that He is the means by which God brings human beings back into fellowship with Himself. They may also be aware that Christ is our substitute and surety, our righteousness, and our pattern and example for living. What they may not know is that, as the sinless “second Adam,” Christ has become the new head of the human race and that, in leaving this world, He sent His Spirit to complete the adoption process for all who receive Him (Gal. 4:6, 7). And what they also may not know is that Christ is also our Wonderful Judge, which is encouraging news headed toward final judgment. Allan Freed describes Christ’s roles in human redemption, how the biblical sanctuary foreshadowed the pathway of reconciliation to God, and what the believer must do to cooperate with Jesus as He finishes His heavenly sanctuary ministry. He warns about a perilous path promoted by a three-part religious union that has declared Protestantism dead, and he offers insight to get on and stay on the pathway that will take us home to God. |
| adventist commentary: Visions of Turmoil and Eternal Rest Ebenezer A. Belete, Warren A. Shipton, 2011-09-19 One of the most fascinating periods of history must certainly be around the time of Daniel the prophets time (sixth and fifth centuries B.C.). It was then that many of the philosophies that were to exert a telling influence on Western thought and Christianity arose. This is the period when Buddha, Confucius, Lao-Tzu, Zoroaster and Pythagoras developed their ideas. In this book, we consider the coded messages written by Daniel and later by the apostle John (preserved in the Bible). History offers outstanding confirmation of the accuracy of their predictions. We indicate how past and developing world events fit into the fabric of prophecy. |
| adventist commentary: The Present Truth and the LGBTQ+ Movement Nelson Mercado, 2024-10-15 The Present Truth refers to God's end-time messages intended to prepare the world to meet Jesus. These messages are found in Revelation 14:6-12 and are also known as the Three Angels' Messages. However, as part of his deceptions, Satan is seeking to distract and confuse the church by the LGBTQ+ ideology. Today, there are many voices in Christianity and in the Seventh-day Adventist Church clamoring for the affirmation of the LGBTQ+ ideology and lifestyle. Pastor Mercado believes that following the road of affirmation will lead to a loss of credibility and will dilute the end-time messages of preparation. Yet acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people are already in our churches, he provides guidelines on how to treat them redemptively while not compromising biblical values. |
| adventist commentary: King of the North Heidi Heiks, 2011-08-31 There are two schools of thought on the interpretation of Daniel 11, especially the closing verses which are seen as still to be fulfilled in the future. The first may be called the literal historical view in which the kings of the north and south are seen as literal geo-political entities in the present day Middle East. Adventist interpreters favored this view until the end of World War I when the British and the Turks fought a battle at Megiddo (Armageddon), but Christ did not come after it. This failure led to the development of the second view, what may be called the spiritual or symbolic interpretation. By the end of World War II most Adventist interpreters had adopted this view. In this case, the king of the south no longer refers to Egypt but it is seen as a symbol for an end time spiritual or political power. Likewise, the king of the north is no longer Syria, but an alternate opposing spiritual or political power. In this school of thought, search is made for a fitting application for these symbols and several possibilities need to be considered. Brother Heiks stands squarely within the parameters of the symbolic approach and he has given careful and detailed consideration to the possibilities that need to be examined in carrying out his search for the correct application of these symbols. |
| adventist commentary: Millennial Dreams and Moral Dilemmas Michael Pearson, 1990-03-30 Technological developments on many fronts have created in our society some extremely difficult moral predicaments. Previous generations have not had to face the dilemmas posed by, for example, the availability of safe abortions, sperm banks and prostoglandins. They have not had to come to terms with an unchecked exploitation of natural resources heralding imminent ecological crisis, or, worst of all, with the recognition that only in this current generation have people the capacity to destroy themselves and their environment. This book seeks to show how, and why, Seventh-day Adventism has addressed these moral issues, and that the ethical questions arising from these issues are especially relevant to the Adventist Church and its development. Dr Pearson looks specifically at the moral decisions Adventists have made in the area of human sexuality, on such issues as contraception, abortion, the role and status of women, divorce and homosexuality, from the beginnings of the movement to 1985. |
