---One General Conference Department of
Sabbathschool. Two different approaches and two different quarterlies side by
side. ---Where? Teacher’s edition with link
supra (first link). ---One is by a professor from Walla Walla
University in the USA and the other is from a professor in the Philippines
University. ---One is trying to cut out Adventist
doctrines and Adventist cherished views. ---The other is keeping in line with
Adventist doctrines and Adventist cherished views. ---One is experiential-ontological. ---The other is
epistemological-ontological. ---One is minimalist. ---One is maximalist. ---One does not know that one should put
Ephesians within the Book of Hebrews. ---The other knows that one should put
Ephesians within the Book of Hebrews. ---One defines epouranios as just the
heavenly abode of God. (see page 19). ---The other makes it plain that it is the
Sanctuary in Heaven and all that goes with it. (see page 28). ---One is less biblical. Not necessarily “unbiblical”
but just bouncing back the text, thus mirroring what is there. Calvin did the
same and all Reformed commentaries, old and modern. There are exceptional ones
that were biblical, like Paul Bayne in 1618. ---The other is biblical. The focus is the
whole Bible, the Books of Leviticus, Exodus, Revelation, Daniel and Hebrews. With
these books as the branches, Ephesians is the leaf. There is a constructive
relationship between Ephesians and these books, especially Hebrews and
Leviticus. ---Classical Reformed is putting
everything in Christ even the imperatives [verbal forms like “Watch!, Do!, Do
not!, Be awake!, Wait!, ] of Paul and Jesus. ---Classical Adventism realize Christ as
center as a Universe factum but the imperatives of Paul and Jesus are to be
taken seriously on earth. ---So which one should I study? ---Switch to the Philippine professor
immediately. It is a thorough treatment typically as Adventists have been
thinking for decades. Study the pages 23-30 for the lesson rather than 18-24. ---Is it not rude? No. If you are paid by
the tithes of Seventh-day Adventists then you have to know that they expect a
service in line with Seventh-day Adventism and not in line with
Calvin/Luther/Catholic/Baptist or other persuasions. Right? Thanks. ---Is it important? Well, how important
was it for Elijah to separate from the Yahwism presented by Ahab/Jezebel
officially from the palace of Israel? Why? They did not teach the truth with
their “ecumenism”, “mixing” and “borrowing” across the borders of truth. Right? ---Is your pastor playing with the
idealistic ideas of Reformed commentaries on an Adventist pulpit? Get out.
When. Now. Time is too serious to waste your spiritual energy.
