---The Church of the living God.

---Gerhard Hasel was Dean of Theology at Andrews University since the early 1970’s for the purpose to remove liberal theologians from the spider web that was influencing Adventism at Andrews University. General Conference President Robert Pierson asked for it after returning from the Mission Fields after 30 years.

---Hasel wrote on the Remnant Motif in the Old Testament which is extrapolating from the Jewish Nation only the Spiritual ones. Get it? That is God’s interest. Remember this.

---And the liberal left one by one. Maybe sometimes by plan?

---Is washing dirty clothes with a lauidramat using proper soap beneficial for clothes or not? That is the answer.

---But how can you say they are “dirty clothes”?

---Higher Crticism sherished, Ellen White criticized or rejected, Investigative Judgment under critique as by Raymond Cottrell are just a few examples that made moving essential.

---Biblical dates for the Exodus is 1450 or near that by S. Horn and E. Thiele and S. Schwantes, and D. Waterhouse, as 1445. But to shift it to 1290 or criticize this century which is strictly biblical chronology, is to be a liberal. Move.

---To have an “open mind” is to have a close mind. I understand Hasel and Fernando Canale (philosophy professor at Andrews University) are the two who said that Adventists are true post-modernists. Modernism was the criticism of the Bible people, like Rudolph Bultmann.

---Bultmann denied the Second Coming, the Resurrection, the miracles, the Judgment, Jesus’ Virgin birth. Red Card, correct?

---One professor at Avondale University said to me that he is happy to teach Rudolph Bultmann to his students, in 2011 when I was there. Red Card. And I told him that in public with nearly all professors attending.

---So here we are with Paul talking about a unified church but one unified not with handshaking among ecumenical desireables. It is not unified to have Catholics, Baptists, Greek Orthodox, Jewish, Islam and add then Adventists? No. Impossible.

---Paul sayd in Ephesians the unity of the church is in one faith and one baptism. Not Adult baptism and infant baptism together.

---So what is the salespoint then? Correct truth from the doctrines of the Bible. That is unity.

---But Adventists keep Saturday as Sabbath and not Sunday the Lord’s Day.

---How can they unify with other believers at the end of time when Christ come?

---Many will understand the correct beliefs and then change.

---Massive change?

---We do not know exactly how it is going to work but God does not embrace everytone without biblical discression.

---The reason He spent time with Israel until the time of the coming of the Messiah is because they were to be examples of what we should and should not be.

---God chose one nation to demonstrate His continuous interaction with humans.

---Did they succeed? Many times. Did they fail. Many times.

---Are these reports essential for us? Absolutely. Cannot go without them.

---That is the whole purpose. Learn from other’s mistakes because they are yours as well. Got it?

---Then do what? 180 degrees change. The opposite direction please.

---Many examples in the Jewish nations tell us how God reacted when they did that.

---God is more eager to save us than we are dreaming to be saved. Know that well.

---Are you eager to be saved? You need the Agape love of God. Of Christ. Of the Holy Spirit in you. Go to 1 Corinthians 13 and learn what that love is.

---Even if you know the truth well and doctrines but you do not have agape Godly love, it is a red card situation. Cannot.

---You cannot be just a “cultural Adventist”. Doing the right things of church but you have not relation with God personally? Well…red card. Cannot.

---So do you not know how to find God or speak to Him personally? Call your nearest Adventist pastor. Do it right now. Is your smartphone out?
