---Is there a link between one’s view of
Justification and Sunday Keeping? ---In 2016 the Anglican Church also signed the Catholic Published document of a Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of
Justification, between the Catholics and Lutherans. Lutherans apologizing
for the misunderstandings they caused during Luther’s debates that caused the
division. ---They said in their document signed to
the Lutherans and Catholics united on the concept of Justification by Faith: 1. welcomes
and affirms the substance of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of
Justification (JDDJ), signed by Lutherans and Roman Catholics in 1999; and 2. recognizes
that Anglicans have explored the doctrine of justification with both Lutherans
and Roman Catholics; and 3. recognizes
that Anglicans and Lutherans share a common understanding of God’s justifying
grace, as the Helsinki Report stated that we are accounted righteous and are
made righteous before God only by grace through faith because of the merits of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and not on account of our works or merits;
and 4. recognizes
that in 1986 the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC)
produced a statement Salvation and the Church, which observed that our two
Communions are agreed on the essential aspects of the doctrine of salvation and
on the Church’s role within it. --- The World Methodist Council (2006) and
the World Communion of Reformed Churches (2017) have also associated themselves
with the Declaration. --- A
20th Anniversary edition of the Joint Declaration on
the Doctrine of Justification is now available in five languages. This
edition contains the original text of the Declaration along with the statements
of association by Anglican, Methodist and Reformed bodies and the Notre Dame
Statement of the five Communions following a joint consultation in 2019. https://www.anglicancommunion.org/ecumenism/httpwwwanglicancommunionorgecumenismjddjaspx.aspx ---What about Adventists? Have you not
read what happened behind the scenes of Questions on Doctrine in 1957 already? ---The official Adventist position as
represented by GC President W. Branson and F. Nicol at that time and advocated
by H. Douglas and a long list of scholars of that time before 1954 was suddenly
shocked. ---John W. Stott of the Victorian Period’s
salvation concepts rebaked G. Berkhouwer and others, differed from Ellen White’s
view on Grace and Obedience. ---Stott was an Anglican Calvinists and
Calvin argued for a double grace. Grace for Justification from above. And Grace
for Obedience or Sanctification from above. ---Sounds right, but the only problem is
that Calvin leans on Christ’s obedience for human sanctification when Ellen
White is leaning on the transformation power of the Holy Spirit [who is the second
Comforter, also God, also part of the Trinity] cooperative obedience with us
changing us completely getting rid of all habits and sins! ---That is traditional Ellen White
salvation concepts. ---But then Froom and University leaders
sought accreditation with the Reformed led government of Education. ---“We also want to be like the Canaanites”-
syndrome. ---They have a king. They have “justification
by faith only and not saved by any works of ourselves”. Forget about
Sanctification because it is also a gift of grace and you live as you want
Christ will cover all for you message. ---Have you read H. Douglas A fork in the road? J. Zurcher, Touch by His feelings? ---Froom organized that the new GC
president taking over from Branson, joined them in appealing to the Reformed
world that Adventists are not a sect. W. Martin wanted to make us a sect
because of our doctrines. ---Froom et al hid all the non-Reformed
statements of Ellen White and selected only the Reformed similar statements.
Read Zurcher, it is all explained there. Andreasen wrote letters to the GC.
They did not answer him. ---Andreasen told them that they are
citing only half the story of Ellen White if they read further she speaks the
other side of the coin. ---We talk about last day deceptions by
Babylon. It is the lesson this week. Do not forget our title. ---There are two toasts says Ellen White
that are important at the end time: Immortality of the Soul [Spiritism] and
Sunday keeping [cannot keep the law due to original sin from Adam and thus
imperfect it does not matter if you do not keep Sabbath because no one can be
perfect and no one can keep all ten commandments perfectly]. Hello. Are you
still there? ---Is your pastor preaching Justification
without our works stop? What about Sanctification and the obedience messages of
the Old and New Testament? Is he preaching them as well? ---Is your pastor preaching about obedience
and overcoming? Hello? ---That was the other side of the coin for
Ellen White contra J. W. Stott and Calvinism. ---And Calvinism signed the Justification
document with the Catholics in the last decades and recently also other
Protestants. Did we hear of Fallen Babylon? Are you with me? ---Christ needs our Example following
Obedience as spotless as we can render it with the help of the power of the
Holy Spirit. How effective is the Holy Spirit? Half-heartedness? 70%? 99%? ---Can we keep the law only 99% and that
is fine with the Trinity? Hello Adventists. ---Your logic fails for proper Sabbath
Keeping if you dent your ability to be sanctified properly by the Holy Spirit. Can
you see that? ---One more time: If you say that we are
sinful and all our deeds are sinful and we cannot render a sinless sanctified
life even with the Holy Spirit [oops] the result is that no one can keep the
law perfect and the further result is that if you keep Sunday instead of
Saturday, then you are fine because no one can be perfect. There you have it. ---Is your pastor playing the harp every
week in his sermon that you cannot be perfect or keep the law perfect? Get out.
It is not traditional Adventism. ---It is the signed up Calvinism of J. W.
Stott and ecumenical Berkhouwer who was counselor attending Vatican II! Did you
know that? Did LaRondelle know that? ---Deception in Justification is deception
on the way to Sunday keeping. You got it?
