germination of the seed represents the beginning of spiritual life, and the
development of the plant is a beautiful figure of Christian growth. As in
nature, so in grace; there can be no life without growth. The plant must either
grow or die. As its growth is silent and imperceptible, but continuous, so is
the development of the Christian life. At every stage of development, our life
may be perfect; yet if God’s purpose for us is fulfilled, there will be
continual advancement. Sanctification is the work of a lifetime. As our
opportunities multiply, our experience will enlarge, and our knowledge
increase.”—Ellen G. White, Christ’s
Object Lessons, pp. 65, 66. ---Conversion is the sinners saying I
want and the Holy Spirit doing the operation of rebirth. ---Christ simultaneously declares the
sinner Righteous. Christ and Holy Spirit working at the same time. ---The seed is planted and now the Holy
Spirit is going to lead the plant to grow in Sanctification. ---At every stage of the way, the plant
will be perfect. What perfection? Character not yet, but perfect agape love? At
every stage necessary. ---Christ has a crown on His head and is
holding a sickle in His hand. ---A General Conference speaker on
Saturday in the Korean Sahmyook University church declared that no one can be
perfect. ---He said it is all about paradoxes in
Mark. The master has to become a slave. ---To live you have to die. ---Perfection? He said it is not
possible. Christ said: Be ye perfect as I am perfect. Is he arguing with
Christ? ---Humans are not to claim publicly that
they are perfect but it is biblical that the inside psychology of the person
needs to know that he is forgiven from his wrongs. ---He needs to quit doing them. ---He needs to renovate his/her habits. ---This is the message that Herbert
Douglas preached who was Seventh Day Adventists’ first Systematic Theologian. ---Did anyone in any committee declared
Douglas a heretic? ---Is there any records of that at the
GC or Division or Unions or Conferences? ---At Andrews University? ---They did it with Ford in 1980 at
Glazier View. With over 187 leaders and scholars and presentations and Ford
defending himself for days. ---Can eight people who is against a
good preacher of the law and gospel and perfection like Douglas, like Denis Priebe
like Doug Batchelor be declared a heretic> Hard to think about that
foolishness. ---But it happened to Jeremiah in
Jeremiah 26. ---Can it happen today also? ---When deception reigns, truth is
pushed out of the area. ---Is that not right? Keep to the truth not
trends. ---Follow the pioneers and Ellen White
not new theology of post 1957 with pruned Ellen White statements in the
appendix of QOD book. Andreasen complained to the GC about that at the time and
they did not answer him. White out of context to please Calvinism. Now you
know.
