The tree of Life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. I have often pondered the name of the latter. What does it mean? I have reached a conclusion for now, but I am open for instruction. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The tree of the knowledge of right and wrong. The...

For the sake of space I will not share all the proof text because that would be like preaching to the choir. In some cases I will share the reference. If you have a specific question I will then share the text. I will have to share what I consider greater or new light as many have rejected it or...

Rather than focusing on the word "faith" I want to look at the fruit or outcome. "accept His character, manifest His spirit, and work His works" When consenting adults come together there is an offspring. When we consent to a spirit working into us, its will and purposes are worked out through...

Well here are my 2 pennies: The soul temple is created for and meant to be inhabited on a very deep level perhaps systemic in nature. I don’t think there is a middle ground where we are without some degree of habitation. Below is one of my favorite quotes, and it clarifies how habitation occurs...

As I have read about the subject of demonic activity I have come to some conclusions as well as some questions. “ That temple, erected for the abode of the divine Presence, was designed to be an object lesson for Israel and for the world. From eternal ages it was God's purpose that every created...

When I was at La Serra and LLU long ago, I was involved with the Christian students who were the most serious about God. At that time my understanding of faith was sort of like grunting real hard when I prayed. Yet God did manifest His power in spite of that weakness, I have come to understand...

I experienced a 21 day trial. It seemed like all the stops were pulled out and the devil was given full authority to hammer me with offense, anger and hatred. There were a number of people who said or did things that really offended me, and I felt such anger to the point that I wanted to slug...

I have waited some time for an answer from Chief and Casandra. I have asked questions that have not been answered. Are. there more than 2 other contributors on this forum? I have been pondering these thoughts for some time and would like some lively contributions.

Hello Chief, I owe you an apology as I have not posted the quote in it's entirety. "Like every child of Adam He accepted the results of the working of the great law of heredity. What these results were is shown in the history of His earthly ancestors. He came with such a heredity to share our...

"a weakened human frame" ?? When I have heard ministers quoting Ellen regarding Jesus being under the working of the great law of heredity... They say he felt hunger and he got tired. They carefully avoid speaking of any evil desires that his ancestors failed at, which he personally faced and...

Hello Cassandra, there were a few questions in my last post to you that you have not answered and I feel that it would be conducive to clearing up any confusion I have about your beliefs and any confusion you have about mine. I want to understand you, not have an argument. By comparing or...

Hello Cassandra, I do not hold the believe he had an earthly father. But his mother, and therefore, he were genetically linked to David and Abraham and therefore by extension of the seed of Adam. Romans 1:3 "...which‭ was made‭‭ of‭ the seed‭ of David‭ according‭ to the flesh‭;" Heb. 2:14& 16...

I just reread my last post and found some typing or cut and paste errors. Please forgive that. I hope there is enough to consider and reply about despite any confusing sentences.

This description of man's nature does not really address what I have desired to share. Ellen states "Each fresh search will reveal something more deeply interesting than has yet been unfolded. The subject is inexhaustible. The study of the incarnation of Christ, His atoning sacrifice and...

Chief wrote: "He reclaimed us by recreating in us the spirit to hate evil as highlighted in the verse above." ======== This sounds like God reset the clock and replaced that which had died. Yet the result of disobedience was death, not, "Here is a little something to help, now lets try it...

Romans 8:7 Isaiah 1:6 "After tempting man to sin, Satan claimed the earth as his, and styled himself the prince of this world. Having conformed to his own nature the father and mother of our race, he thought to establish here his empire." DA 114 I fully agree with this. For The Son to...

I would like to share some thoughts and conclusions regarding that which I have pondered for some time and I am curious if this rings true with anyone else? At the fall, humanity was at odds with their Maker. Ellen says that they were given Satan's nature. They were at enmity with God. There...
