    1844 is not biblical at all. Not one church and their best theologians have ever come up with that date. It is completly fictitious. In Daniel 8 it says it takes 2300 evenings and mornings then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated. That has happened a long time ago already and is celebrated as hanukkah by the Jews every year since that victory. Even Jesus went to that celebration. John 10:22-23, 2000 years ago. It is generally agreed by all historians that Antiochus Epiphanes occupied the temple about 2300 days that is about 6 and a half years then he was overcome by the Jews and the temple reconsecrated. 2300 evening mornings refers to the evening and morning sacrifices. 2300 times it was not possible in the temple. It was 2300 days of no sacrifices not years. Adventists have no right to turn days into years and let them begin in 457 bc by the restoration of Jerusalem in 457 bc . They mingle this with the prophecy of the 70 weeks 457 bc. for the starting point of the 2300 days. Nothing that was predicted happened then. It is not followed by any theologian. To turn days into years because it is convenient to juggle this around wherever they want to have it is more than bizarre. Hanukkah refutes all this and Adventism is based on a confused bizarre calculation by William Miller who got it wrong completly like his prediction of the second coming.Ellen White went along with Miller. When it didn't happen miller recanted and admitted that he was wrong. Not so Ellen White she set the next date a few month later then again much later but it didn't happen. Then she changed it and put it into heaven and the anti gospel of the investigative judgment was born. Hanukkah refutes the whole 1844 system and of course Jesus didn't enter the holy of holies but went to heaven sittIng at the right hand of God. Hebrews 10:12-13. “But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet.”

    I can see a desire of the pastor to commingle law and grace. Show me a Bible verse that says “now that you’re saved, you are enabled to obey the law” absolutely not. The law will always minister death to us, before salvation and after salvation….it will always be there to show us we CANT do it, so if you try it, it will keep telling you are fail. UNLESS YOU PRETEND TO OBEY LIKE THE PHARISES DID. Paul clearly states that Law has no place in the life of a saved person, the law did its job and it’s no longer in charge, Jesus is now in charge. If you are under the Law sin is your master. Folks don’t be fooled. The law that Jesus nailed to the cross is the 10 commandments. Please read Roman’s. Paul clearly states “do not covet” killed him, that’s the 10 commands, NOT THE ORDINANCES LIKE THE PASTOR SAID.

    All of these holidays point to Jesus. Jesus kept these holidays, disciples kept them. In Malachi " I am the Lord, I do not change" . The Sabbath is to be remembered and observed on weekly basis, the holidays on yearly basis. The Feist of trumpets is pointing to second coming. For everything God created, Satan made a counterfeit. God appointed holidays, the enemy counter fitted God s holidays for man - made holidays. . Christmas is based on pagan holiday and so is Easter. Careful study and God's wisdom is needed to discern the truth in the last days. Even the elect may not choose to follow the truth. Blessings to all.

    Te wyjaśnienia prowadzą do 31. roku n.e. śmierci Mesjasza według Dn. 9. Tymczasem wiemy, że Mesjasz NIE MÓGŁ umrzeć w tym roku, ale w roku 30. n.e.. Rok 31. n.e. nie miał złożenia szabatu tygodniowego i 15. nisan tej samej doby. Nauczanie adwentystyczne to próba ratowania daty 1844 po tym, gdy William Miller doprowadził do rozczarowania tak wielu ludzi. Księżyc i Jutrzenka są przeciwnikami teorii K ADS, którą on promuje dla czegoś w rodzaju supremacji K ADS nad innymi zborami chrystianizmu. Hbr. 13. pokazuje jednak, że 10. tiszri wypełnił się 14. nisan poza obozem, czyli na Kalwarii poza murami Jerozolimy. Święto jesienne wypełnione na wiosnę to przykład typologii. Tak samo chanuka 25. kislew zapowiadała 6. Siwan pięćdziesiątnicy Jezusa Chrystusa. Adwentyści obudźcie się! Pozbawiliście Mesjasza 31. rokiem znaku Jutrzenki, bo tego roku śmierci i zmartwychwstaniu nie towarzyszyłoby to zjawisko. Pozdrawiam.

      You like many have misunderstood Adventist, we believe we are saved by grace through faith, which produces works, James makes it clear by saying Il show you my faith by my works! James 2.17-26 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

      Tzittzit’s are a command of God to be a reminder to keep His commands Num 15, however the Pharisees made theirs long and showy to appear more holy outwardly. The tzittzit’s (command) is good, but how it was misused is bad. Pharisees were rebuked because they NEGLECTED HIS COMMANDS and preferred traditions of men Mark 7. I’m not saying you, but many have always believed the Pharisees kept the law perfectly when in actuality they did not at all. They added to it or took from it, with the intent to appear more righteous while their heart was far from God. This is always what Jesus is rebuking them for! Jesus kept the law perfect AS GOD INTENDED, wore Tzittzit’s, honored the feasts commanded “forever”, as did Paul and all the others. The Gentile’s even did as Jesus modeled until anti-Semitic Rome, Constantine came in and declared themselves above God’s word. A believer(hearer & doer) must ask, if the desire to honor God’s Law isn’t on their heart BECAUSE they are saved than are they really walking in the way of God and the New Covenant? Jer 31, HEB 10 His commands aren’t burdensome, Scripture says. Psalm 119 is another. A quote I felt conviction on is “Holiness is always oppressive to sinners”. When people loathe the idea of God’s Law, it’s because they desire the flesh more than spirit, maybe unknowingly. They are in opposition to each other. Also, because the abuse of grace abounds in the Christian community.

You say those who believe in the New Covenant teaching that we are no longer under the law but under grace are following the doctrines of devils. Wow! Woe to them who call good evil and evil good.

Christ in us (Col 1:27) the hope of glory (transformation of character) who’s Spirit is poured out in full measure. Read Numbers 28 and find how many lambs were offered symbolically representing the Lamb of God who takes away our sins will give us His Spirit to overcome sin and be filled with His righteousness. Like Elisha who asked Elijah for a double portion of God’s Spirit we too need the blessings of God’s Spirit through His Son (Rom 8:9,10) to be poured upon us to get us thru to the end.

    Hello, I wish to share a certain claim, humbly and simply, because I believe it ought to be brought to our attention, tested, and personally investigated for its validity. On the evening of May 22nd 1844, a merchant in Persia named the Báb (meaning gate), declared Himself the inaugurator of the long-promised kingdom of God on Earth; the Prophet-Herald of the Baha’i Faith and forerunner of Bahá’u’lláh - who would be the Promised one of all religions and return of Christ. His story is here: www.bahai.org/the-bab/ A film was also produced on this subject of The Báb entitled The Gate ua-cam.com/video/GPKEkSXhtgw/v-deo.html Bahai’s also understand Baha’u’llah (1817-1892) to be the return of Christ and the promised one of all religions as foretold by Christ. _“I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.”_ (John 16:12) So Christ gave us tests so we can distinguish between false prophets and His return such as Mathew 7:15 _“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

    I've got a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, it is for real and I thought it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Ever struggle? Ever doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Ever wonder if He exists for that matter? Read this: All of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25-26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What is this new way entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the, Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts, verses, ideas and prayers and guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. ... What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is one of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you. Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more or if you need clarification on anything xx
