The WORD Podcast

To the Law and to the testimonies: If they speak NOT according to this word, it is because they have NO light in them (Isaiah 8:20)

Was worshipping weekly on Sundays, as practiced by all the first century churches founded by the apostle Paul, introduced by Nimrod, Constantine or some Pope of Rome? Or was it of divine origin, and practiced, annually, even in Old testament times by the Children of Israel.

Is the better covenant of Heb 8:6, the ten commandments? Or is it the Covenant of Grace, which Christ made by the sacrifice of himself at Calvary?

Were the ten (10) commandments given to the hosts in Heaven, as Mrs. White claims in her book "The Great Controversy"? Or were they given to Abraham, Isaac or Jacob, as the S.D.A. teach?

Were the meat ordinances given to the Israelites meat to be instructions in righteousness for the New Testament Church of Jesus Christ?

Are the two witnesses of Revelation 11:3-12, the old and new testaments, as Mrs. White suggests? Or are they two human beings?

Should Old Testament prophecies which have an end-time application be interpreted to mean the True Church of Christ, and not any blood descendants of Abraham or any Middle Eastern Nation?

Is Gehenna (Hell) a temporary destination of the damned? Or is it permanent and eternal?

Undeniable additional scriptural proof that this earth will not be desolate for one thousand years, after Christ translates the righteousness from earth to heaven, as our friend, the Seventh-day Adventists, teach.

Will the dead ever be raised to fight against Christ and His Saints; as Mrs. White claimed?

Do the souls of the righteous who die in this dispensation of grace, remain in their graves until they are resurrected ? Or do they go to heaven immediately after death?

In the list of erroneous doctrines, as compiled by Mrs. White, there is this affront: That the sins of the redeemed hosts were ultimately placed upon Satan.

Mrs. White  claimed that Jesus Christ made a final atonement in the heavenly sanctuary in 1844, for all those who could benefit by his mediation pg. 253, last paragraph, the early writings.

Mrs. White claims that those who are raised from the dead at the first resurrection, would spend 1000 years, initially, with Christ in Heaven, during which time, this earth would be desolate and become the home of Satan and his angels for 1000 years (early writings, pg. 290).

Would GOD the Father contradict Jesus' statement of Mark 13:32, and tell Mrs. White the day and the hour of Jesus' second coming?

Can we believe Mrs. White who claimed on pages 127 and 151 of her book "The Early Writings", that GOD had a struggle to send Jesus to earth, to die for the sins of humanity ? or should we believe John 3:16?

What purpose does the law serve today?

What status did its beneficiaries enjoy?

To what and why was the law added?

The fact that the New Testament believer's allegiance must be to the doctrines of the better or superior covenant of the grace of GOD, and not to those of the old covenant, called the law, is seen by studying Hebrews chapters one, two and eight, through ten, accordingly.

Because of  what GOD has done for us In Christ, as described in Proof No. 1; to walk uprightly , therefore, Is to walk according to the truth of the gospel (Gal 2:14), and NOT according to the dictates of the Law, even the First covenant, from which we were delivered (Rom 7:6).

In light of the superiority of the new and better covenant of the grace of GOD (Heb. 8:6-7), over the old covenant called the  Law of GOD (Deut 4:13; 2 Chron 33:8), New Testament believers' allegiance must inevitably be to Christ and his new testament directives, instead of to old testament ones, which, although were appropriate for old testament times, are, in many instances, unsuited for the new...

In addition to the previous reasons, the superiority of the grace of GOD over the law of GOD is surely established by the following text:"....But after that FAITH is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (Gal. 3:25).

The Superiority of the Grace of GOD over the Law of GOD is undoubtedly estabished by the folowing texts: "... The Just Shall Live by Faith (Gal. 3:11), but we are also informed that "... The Law is not of Faith ...." (Gal. 3:12).

Since the righteousness which the law gives is self righteousness (Deut. 6:25; Phil. 3:9a) it is evident that the righteousness of the law must be inferior to the righteousness of faith, the latter being a derivative of GOD's divine nature. Because of this fact, St. Paul chose the latter and despised the former (Phil 3:9).
