If
all would study the Bible as prayerfully and as conscientiously
as they ought, giving earnest heed to every word and receiving
it as coming directly from God, there would be no need of any
other religious book. Whatever is written should be for the purpose
of calling attention more directly to the words of Scripture.
Whatever substitutes any man's opinions for the Bible, so that
by it the people are led to rest content without any further study
of the Bible itself, is worse than useless.

Check
out our Bible studies. There are several studies here on thought
provoking items which are often misunderstood. This misunderstanding
then generates misconceptions about other vital gospel themes.

To
which Spirit are you listening? Do you remember Mt. Carmel (1
Kings 18:21)? The people of God were worshiping Baal—but thought
they were listening to the True Holy Spirit.

Have
you ever wondered about the relevance of the gospel to your life
today? Did Christ actually accomplish anything on the cross of Calvary,
or is that just a hope for later glory? Read
about the three P's of salvation—the Past, Present,
and final Permanent eradication of sin. (The Power,
Penalty, and Presence of sin.)

Questions
have long been asked regarding the "Baker Letter," written
by Ellen G. White to Bro. W.L.H. Baker — particularly a small
section of the letter concerning Baker's teachings on the nature
of Christ in the incarnation. Was
he teaching the heresy of adoptionism?
|
| |
What
is Legal Justification? It is revolutionary
good news as it was presented to the leadership of the church at
the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference by A.T. Jones and E.J. Waggoner. |
|
|
Who
is the Holy Spirit? Is the term Spirit simply a power, or
does the Spirit of God have personality? What
does the Bible say?—and
the Spirit of Prophecy?

The book of Daniel is
often confusing to many readers, particularly chapter 11. This
study of the history involved may be of help in unraveling much
of the mystery. |

The
cross justifies the existence of all life. The subject of temporary,
universal, justification of life for all men is one of the big ideas
which God invites us to wrap our minds around. Preview

of the Red Heifer: Christ Crucified Outside the Camp—This sin

M.L. Andreasen
from his book:
The Faith of Jesus
|
Seven
Deadly Sins — basic in the fall of Lucifer. These seven are
envy, discontent,
pride, selfishness,
covetousness, hatred,
and lying. Since these sins constituted
the beginning of sin in the universe and are among the most deceitful
of all sins, it may be well to consider them in more detail. When
we understand how sin began we can better avoid its first appearance.
|
|
|
The
Last Generation — The final demonstration of what the gospel
can do in and for humanity is still in the future. What God did
in Christ, He can do in every human being who submits to Him. When
it has been accomplished, the end will come.

It
is generally conceded there were no records kept of the studies
which Elders Waggoner and Jones gave at the 1888 meeting in Minneapolis.
Of later written works, The
Consecrated Way to Christian Perfection, is possibly the
best presentation of the essence of the message of Jones in 1888.

The
great controversy between good and evil. We take too limited
a view of God's plan of salvation if we confine its working simply
to this world of ours. Heaven has been affected. There are things
in heaven that need to be reconciled by the blood of the cross.

The
Two Covenants - The covenant and promise of God are one and
the same. God made a covenant with Abraham to give him the land
of Canaan for an everlasting possession. God gave it to him by promise.
God's covenants with men can be nothing else than promises to them.
|
|
Righteousness
Imputed - The Bible does not teach us that God calls us righteous
simply because Jesus of Nazareth was righteous eighteen hundred
years ago. It says that by his obedience we are made righteous.
Notice that it is present, actual righteousness.
