"'Very truly I tell you,'" Jesus answered, 'before Abraham was, I am'": this is John 8:58. Jesus knew this was the name of God. If you look at Exodus 3, we read, "Moses said to God, 'Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your father has sent me to you,' and they ask me...

I gather from your name "the mad jw" that you are not an Adventist at all, but a Jehovah's Witness. Correct?

You do not believe Jesus is God at all?

In Matthew 3:16,17, it reads: "When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, 'This is My beloved Son, in...

Ellen White talks about the Trinity and said there are three Persons. Do you have more to add?

Looking more into it, the ordinary priests had to wear linen, and only the High Priest was allowed to wear wool mixed with linen.

I have heard that the clothing the priests wore was of mixed fabric. God only wanted the priests to wear mixed fabric in ancient days. It was special and reserved only for the priests. The priests wore a combination of wool and linen. Because Jesus is now our High Priest (Hebrews 8 and 9), it is...

Thank you for your response. I do not think a prophecy about the end time is nonessential. Especially because we are in the end time right now or very close to His coming. I was talking about the last three chapters of Zechariah. I agree with you that the end time prophecies of the Old Testament...

You are right. I looked up the first reference to Joshua and also Joshua in Zechariah. It does say the Greek word for Jesus in the Septuagint. It does seem convincing this was His name. I wish there would be found evidence to what His disciples called Him in the Hebrew or Aramaic languages though.

In Zechariah 14, all nations gather to battle against Jerusalem. The city is taken, the women are attacked, half the city goes into captivity. Then the LORD emerges to fight against the enemies of Jerusalem. Jesus lands upon the Mount of Olives, it splits, and the people run through the crevice...

I do not know if anyone understand if this prophecy is conditional, and if it is, why was the Spirit poured upon Jerusalem in Zechariah 12.10? "And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they...

Thank you, that is helpful.

In my reading today, I noticed that Moses had actually changed the name of Hoshea to Joshua. Most of us know that the name "Joshua" is what many believe to be the name of "Yashua". Some think that the name "Yashua" also was the Hebrew name of Christ. I looked up Hoshea and Joshua, and it said...

Thank you for your feedback. Are you saying that Seeker of Truth is a mocker or Steve Daily?

Yes. Here is the quote. "Boaz falls deeply in love with Ruth and wishes to marry her, but there is a significant barrier, there is a closer relative who also has a claim on the woman and the land. If we consider Boaz to be a type of Christ, this situation may reveal an issue at stake in the...

I remember Steve Daily, although I never had a class with him. I would go into his office constantly, looking for a mission trip I could sign up for. I remember him baptizing on the beach during a field trip. I had heard even back then that he leaned to a progressive position, but I felt I was...

I appreciate your reply. You are right, Ellen White never said the devil was our redeemer. She only uplifted Jesus Christ as our Redeemer. I deleted my online Sabbath school quarterly after reading the lesson, it does not feel safe to read it anymore. But I do appreciate what you said because...

Thank you for attempting to answer one of my questions. Did not notice the lesson for yesterday in the Sabbath school quarterly? It was saying that our nearest kinsman was the devil. What?? I had never heard that before, and I don't believe it. The devil is not considered our family member in...

Do you ever feel like you have learned everything there is to know about the church, and you hunger to learn more about God and the Bible? In the Adventist churches, we are not allowed to ask questions, unless the answer is one of the 28 beliefs. Like what about the prophecies in the Old...
