was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the World, says the apostles and add
Paul in Ephesians 1:4 for the council of the Trinity before Sin that should sin
come, Christ gave Himself willingly for that event, thus slain de iure which
would become slain de facto in 31 AD. Slain in principle that would become
slain in fact in 31 AD. ---The
other texts are listed by Alberto Timm carefully: Revelation 13:8; Acts 2:23;
and 1 Peter 1:19, 20. ---The
slain is symbolic and typified in the sacrifices after the sin of Adam and Eve
pointing to the real Lamb Christ that would come. ---Ellen
White said some very good material on this pre-plan of the Trinity before sin.
It is not an “afterthought”. They were not caught “unplanned”. ---“The
plan for our redemption was not an afterthought, a plan formulated after the
fall of Adam. . . . It was an unfolding of the principles that from
eternal ages have been the foundation of God’s throne.”—Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 22. No theologian,
said this. It is as biblical as you can get. Why did the theologians not
mention this? The Spirit was part of the Trinity and packed in Ephesians 1:4
revealed it as such to Ellen White. ---We
do not talk about Calvin’s pre-planned, pre-saved, pre-pushed and subsequently
forced selection of cherry-picked people. This is not the “unfolding of
principles of God’s throne”. It is classical predestination which is not
biblical. ---With
Calvin everything is from above. With Ellen White it is interactive depending
on the decision and will of the human creature in concert with God. With Calvin
it does not matter. With Ellen White it does. ---The
concept of substitutionary death of Christ was typified by all sacrifices since
sin until Christ the Lamb would arrive. ---That
is why we use the terms de iure and de facto to indicate something decided
in principle and something carried out finally in reality. ---Why
gruesome blood to symbolize Christ’s death on the cross? Because the giving of
Christ to die on the cross is not honey smeared on the cross, licking the cross
like an icecream. It was violent, blood, painful, suffering and death. It was
divine blood given for humans. ---As a young boy, Friedrich
Schleiermacher slipped into the library of the Bible loving college of the
Moravians to take from the shelves the “forbidden” books of higher-critical
skeptics to read. He and his friend did that. ---His father was a Moravian bible
believing pastor. A Pietist. Then one day he renounced Christ and wrote to his
father saying: “I cannot believe that a loving God will sacrifice His son in a
bloody way like this”. Schleiermacher the theologian of skepticism was born. ---His father wrote back to him saying: “Who
told you this senseless nonsense? You who was taught by your faithful bible
loving mother and how you are now stepping on her teachings? If she was alive
how shocked she would have been? I have to renounce you even though I held you
to my breast. Because you have crucified the Son of God anew.” ---Young Schleiermacher left the
Moravian Theological College and went to the skeptical Universities in Germany
to be taught ugly Rationalism denouncing faith in the Word of God. ---God works with us if we believe His
Word and live it out obediently.
