A LIFE OR DEATH QUESTION
WHAT SHALL I DO TO INERIT ETERNAL LIFE? (LUKE 10:25)
WHERE IS YOUR
FOCUS?
Also, [that] the soul [be] without
knowledge, [it is] not good; and he
that hasteth with [his] feet
sinneth. Provers 19:2
Have you ever asked yourself this
question, 'What shall i do to iherit
eternal life?'
Has it ever burdened you?
It's sad to see many of us loose focus on this life and
death question. listin to this admonition:
Do not allow anything to draw your attention from the question,
"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 10:25). This is a life and
death question, which we must each settle for eternity. 1SM 171.3
Diverted from the
testing truth?
Let the mind be weighted with the
importance of the solemn truth
which we possess. Those who
allow the mind to wander in
search of cheap, unimportant
theories need to be converted. . . .
{1SM 171.3}
This is to say many are diverted
from the true test question of this
time. Will you let yourself?
These mind diverters could be
worldings or unimportant theories
or heresis.
Unimportant Theories
Erroneous theories, with no authority from
the word of God, will come in on the right
hand and on the left, and to weaklings these
theories will appear as truth which makes
wise. But they are as nothingness. 2NL 162.6
The people of God have no
time to dwell on the
indefinite, frivolous
questions which have no
bearing on God's
requirements. {2NL 162.6}
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which
minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith:
[so do]. 1 Timothy 1:4
where is the origin of
unimportant subjects?
Satan😢 diverts our attention and make
unimportant questions appear really wonferful:
"Satan is now using every device in this sealing time to keep the minds of
God's people from the present truth and to cause them to waver" EW43.2
Dwell upon questions that concern our eternal welfare. Anything that the
enemy can devise to divert the mind from God's Word, anything new and
strange that he can originate to create a diversity of sentiment, he will
introduce as something wonderfully important. . . . {1MR 58.2}
The enemy will strive to cause believers to search out matters of minor importance, and to dwell
at length upon these matters in committee meetings and council meetings. But by turning their
attention to questions of so little consequence, the brethren hinder the work instead of
advancing it. {1MR 58.3}
CHARACTERSISTIS OF
SUCH SUBJECTS
1. Makes men not see the love of God: " Satan is
determined that men shall not see the love of God
which led Him to give His only begotten Son to
save a lost race..." 2NL 153.6
2. They are strange and new 1MR58.2
3. They are argumentative
4. Exiciting and sensational
5. Diverts minds from Christ and from the special
truth of this time
6. Not fully revealed to us 1 SM 159.3
7. Not essential for our salvationn 2NL 156.6
8. Mingles human suppositions and conjectives 2nl
156.5
9. Contradicts the special truths of our faith 1 SM
161.2

10. Often above finite comprehension
11. They are indefinite and frivolous questions
"I have been shown that it is the device of the
enemy to lead minds to dwell upon some
obscure or unimportant point, something that is
not fully revealed or is not essential to our
salvation." 1SM 159.3
TESTING SUBJECTS OF TIME
1. Sacred and Beautiful in
their simplicity 2NL
160.9
2. Are plainly revealed
to us. 2 NL 163.7
They reveal Christ as the saviour
to the world.
They soften and
subdue the soul
2 NL 155.2
3. Are questions on obedience
of Gods commandments ant the
testimony of Jesus 2NL 159.6
Learn to take the truths that have been revealed, and to handle
them in such a way that they will be food for the flock of God. {1SM
162.2}
Are the questions adressed by antrinitatian
doctrine food for God's flock?
Questions like:
Is Jesus God?
Is the Holy Spirit God?
Personality of Holy Spirit?
But we have one God?
Pre-existence of Christ?
What does the bible plainly say:
There's one GOD
CHRIST is God (John 1:1) Immanuel- God
with us
Jesus pre-existed (John 1:2)
The father, son & holy spirit are one
"Many things are above finite
comprehension. Truths are to be
received not within the reach of
our reason, and not for us to
explain." 1SM 163.2
Are these questions testing subjects of this
time?
Are they plainly revealed to us?
Do they reveal Christ as the saviour of the
world?
Do they soften and sudue your soul?
How are such questions called?
"And without controversy great is the
mystery of godliness: God was manifest in
the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in
the world, received up into glory." 1 Tim 3:16
MYSTERY OF GODLINESS?
What is a mystery? indefinite/ not fully revealed/above finite comprehension
Is mystery of godliness food for God's flock?
NO! ........."But those things that we cannot clearly comprehend are not
tenth as important to us as are the truths of God's Word that we ca
clearly comprehend and bring into our daily life..." 1SM 163.1
LEAVE MYSTERIES ALONE!
"Now there are in the lessons of Christ, subjects in abundance that you can speak upon. And mysteries which neither you nor your
hearers can understand or explain might better be left alone. Give the Lord Jesus Christ room Himself to teach; let Him by the
influence of His Spirit open to the understanding the wonderful plan of salvation." {1SM 180.1}
(GC. 524.2) A DANGEROUS DOCTRINE:
1. Denies the deity of Christ
2. Directly contradicts the plainest statements of our Saviour concerning His relationship with the Father, His divine
character, and His pre-existence
3. Unwarranted wresting of the Scriptures
4. It not only lowers man's conceptions of the work of redemption, but undermines faith in the Bible as a revelation
from God
5. None who hold this error can have a true conception of the character or the mission of Christ, or of the great plan
of God for man's redemption.
A.A 51
IS IT ESSENTIAL TO DEFINE &DENY THE PERSONALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
1. It is not essential for us to be able to define just what the Holy Spirit is
2. The nature of the Holy Spirit is a mystery
3. Men cannot explain it, because the Lord has not revealed it to them
4. Acceptance of these views will not strengthen the church.
5. Regarding such mysteries, which are too deep for human understanding, silence is golden.
Behold the
Lamb of God
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luke 10:25
This do, and thou shalt live Luke 10:28
Let the plain, simple statements of the Word of God be
food for the mind; this speculating upon ideas that are not
clearly presented there is dangerous business. {1SM 181.1}
Do You still Want To Continue Dwelling upon this Dangerous subject?
To still find out the mysterey of godliness?
To still reject and question the deity of Christ?
To still search the nature of the Holy spirit?
To undermine the faith in the Bible?
To continue with fantansy and human construction?
If men reject the testimony of the inspired Scriptures
concerning the deity of Christ, it is in vain to argue the point
with them; for no argument, however conclusive, could
convince them. GC 524
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as
thyself. Luke 10":7
Silence is Golden.
It is in vain to argue
"It is presumption to indulge in suppositions and theories regarding
matters that God has not made known to us in His word." 2NL 163
