The scriptures tell us that when we believe in Him, we have The Righteousness of Christ imputed to us, to our newborn spirit! The writer of Hebrews explained that the Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword, able to separate soul and spirit, and THAT is why the newborn spirit remains SINLESS, because the Spirit of God abides in that newborn spirit (1 John 3:9).
The SDA cult teaching declares that satan is the ultimate scapegoat, not Jesus. THAT is blasphemous and opposite to what the scriptures show us! Satan will spend eternity in torment for his own sinfulness. My sinfulness has been taken out of the way by the atoning power of the Christ, provided by God on my behalf and that of every believer since Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost.
The SDA cult makes satan the ultimate atonement. The Catholic ORG makes the sinner the utimate atonement witht he false teaching of purgatory. Both of these cults focus upon the behavior mechanism, the soul, not the spirit. Satan knows that if one focuses upon the spirit which is dead in trespasses and sins and in need of a Savior, the Truth of God's provision is too near to be denied, by the power of the gracious power of the Holy Spirit. Once one is born from above they are in the hands of God, unreachable by the wiles of satan and his minions. Cults hate that truth. And now that we have stated it openly, watch for the spirit of antichrist to surface and seek to confuse The Truth of The Spirit.
Meant to include you in the ping line
“The blasphemy in the Investigative Judgment is the assigning of the scapegoat principle. ... [Jesus] was right at that moment bearing the sins of the whole world ... that truth is accounted for those who believe in Whom God sent for our redemption.”
“The SDA cult teaching declares that satan is the ultimate scapegoat, not Jesus. ... My sinfulness has been taken out of the way by the atoning power of the Christ, provided by God on my behalf and that of every believer since Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost.”
“The SDA cult makes satan the ultimate atonement.”
“Cults hate that truth.”
Your post is so great that it was very hard to pick out the best parts.
As I listened to the video that Mark posted before leaving us today, I learned that it’s the fear of the “Investigative Judgment” that keeps haunting them day and night. Just how a cult would do, yeah? That’s just how they roll: “We have the REAL truth and everyone else is going to Hell. You will too if you don’t obey every one of our rules.”
Keep ‘em scared and away from God’s word. The preacher in the video did an excellent job, and I was really stunned by what he taught about the SDA as a former member. I praise God that he and his family are out of the cult today.
May God bring them all out and to His salvation, peace, love and joy.
Again, excellent post, MHG.
