——>They took on themselves the dietary laws given to Israel

Sounds like God is serious about a lot of things, including His dietary laws for His people.

Isaiah 65: (also referenced in Romans 10)

1“I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me;
I was found by those who did not seek Me.a
To a nation that did not call My name,
I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’
2All day long I have held out My hands
to an obstinate peopleb
who walk in the wrong path,
who follow their own imaginations,
3to a people who continually provoke Me to My face,
sacrificing in the gardens
and burning incense on altars of brick,
4sitting among the graves,
spending nights in secret places,
eating the meat of pigs
and polluted broth from their bowls.
5They say, ‘Keep to yourself;
do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’
Such people are smoke in My nostrils,
a fire that burns all day long.
6Behold, it is written before Me:
I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
I will pay it back into their laps,
7both for your iniquities
and for those of your fathers,”
says the LORD.
“Because they burned incense on the mountains
and scorned Me on the hills,
I will measure into their laps
full payment for their former deeds.”
8This is what the LORD says:
“As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes,
and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’
so I will act on behalf of My servants;
I will not destroy them all.
9And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
and heirs from Judah;
My elect will possess My mountains,c
and My servants will dwell there.
10Sharon will become a pasture for flocks,
and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds,
for My people who seek Me.
11But you who forsake the LORD,
who forget My holy mountain,
who set a table for Fortuned
and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,e
12I will destine you for the sword,
and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered,
because I called and you did not answer,
I spoke and you did not listen;
you did evil in My sight
and chose that in which I did not delight.”
13Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:
“My servants will eat,
but you will go hungry;
My servants will drink,
but you will go thirsty;
My servants will rejoice,
but you will be put to shame.
14My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart,
but you will cry out with a heavy heart
and wail with a broken spirit.
15You will leave behind your name
as a curse for My chosen ones,
and the Lord GOD will slay you;
but to His servants He will give another name.
16Whoever invokes a blessing in the land
will do so by the God of truth,
and whoever takes an oath in the land
will swear by the God of truth.
For the former troubles will be forgotten
and hidden from My sight.

Isaiah 66:

15For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

17They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

Sounds like God is serious about a lot of things,

Yes

Genesis 17:

1. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect (תָמִֽים׃).
2. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4. As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14. And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

Paul has already told us who that seed is, AND IS NOT.

EGW was a founding member of the SDA church.

Which proves the point

[af_vet_1981]

We shall soon see. I would also say to be on the lookout for the Mark of the Beast Sabbath/Sunday issue, as the SDA church is the ONLY church preaching this message.

That alone should give one pause, which would suggest that the SDA is similar to the Latter Day Saints and JWs which both proffered their prophets and think they are the only true faith community.

Balaam and Jezebel are the only Gentile prophets named in the Scriptures.

[Philsworld]

I don’t believe I posted from, or mentioned any of those sites. If you think I did, please identify the post. Thanks.

[Philsworld]

what point?

[Philsworld]

——>Balaam and Jezebel are the only Gentile prophets named in the Scriptures.

So?

[af_vet_1981]

There are no Scripture approved Gentile prophets or prophetesses. The model I see (LDS, SDA, JWs) is a man or woman gathers yet another group and declares themselves prophets or prophetesses to deceive the gullible and convince them they are the only true faith. That should concern you.

[af_vet_1981]

Your faith group is antisemitic and you post a link from some unknown website; not going there; unwilling to be infected with that disease. I serve the Messiah of Israel and know who He is.

[Philsworld]

——>Your faith group is antisemitic

ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!

——>I serve the Messiah of Israel and know who He is.

I serve the SAME Messiah, of Israel, which is now spiritual, according to Paul. I wish the literal modern nation of Israel all the best. But, unless they accept Christ as their Messiah, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, none of them will be saved. And that makes me an antisemite? Absolutely ridiculous and libelous.

[Philsworld]

---->There are no Scripture approved Gentile prophets or prophetesses.

Then you must not be aware of gifts of the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

And, it is the REMNANT church that has the gift of prophecy:

The Prophetic Gift in the Remnant Church. Revelation 12 reveals two major periods of persecution. During the first, which extended from A.D. 538 to A.D. 1798 (Rev. 12:6, 14; see chapter 12 of this book), loyal believers suffered intense persecution. Again, just before the Second Advent, Satan will attack "the remnant of her offspring," the remnant church that refuses to give up allegiance to Christ. Revelation characterizes the loyal believers who make up the remnant as they "who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Rev. 12:17).

That the phrase "the testimony of Jesus" speaks of prophetic revelation is clear from later conversations between the angel and John.8

Near the end of the book the angel identifies himself as "'your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus'" (Rev. 19:10) and "'your fellowservant, and of your brethren the prophets'" (Rev. 22:9). These parallel expressions make it clear that it is the prophets who have "the testimony of Jesus."9 This explains the angel's statement that "'the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy'" (Rev. 19:10).

Commenting on this text, James Moffat wrote, "'For the testimony or witness of (i.e., borne by) Jesus is (i.e., constitutes) the spirit of prophecy.' This. . . specially defines the brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus as possessors of prophetic inspiration. The testimony of Jesus is practically equivalent to Jesus testifying (xxii.20). It is the self-revelation of Jesus (according to [Rev.] 1:1, due ultimately to God) which moves the Christian prophets."10

So the expression the Spirit of prophecy can refer to (1) the Holy Spirit's inspiring the prophet with a revelation from God, (2) the operation of the gift of prophecy, and (3) the medium of prophecy itself.

The prophetic gift, Jesus' witness "to the church through the medium of prophecy, "11 comprises a distinctive characteristic of the remnant church. Jeremiah linked the demise of this gift with lawlessness. "The Law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from the Lord" (Lam. 2:9). Revelation identifies the possession of the two as distinctive characteristics of the end-time church; its members "keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ"—the prophetic gift (Rev. 12:17).

God gave the prophetic gift to the "church" of the Exodus to organize, instruct, and guide His people (Acts 7:38, KJV). "By a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved" (Hosea 12:13). It comes as no surprise, then, to find that gift among those who are involved in the ultimate exodus—the escape from sin-polluted Planet Earth to the heavenly Canaan. This exodus, which will follow the Second Advent, is the final and complete fulfillment of Isaiah 11:11: "It shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left." http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/books/27/27-17.htm Chapter 17 The Gift of Prophecy (what Seventh-day-Adventists believe)

——>That should concern you.

It doesn’t, because it’s not true

[af_vet_1981]

Are there any names of Gentile prophets or prophetesses recorded in Scripture other than Balaam or Jezebel ?
No

Are there any prophecies recorded in Scripture other than by Balaam (and he had a bad ending)
No

Put no faith in Ellen White.

[af_vet_1981]

The odd thing is, the SDA puts all this burden on the Gentiles to keep the laws of the Sabbath and diet given to Israel, but rejects following the Abrahamic covenant law given to the Jews to circumcise every male child of those who are the seed of Abraham.

This makes sense if one views SDA as a Protestant offshoot that "originated in the 1830s in the United States during the Second Great Awakening when Baptist preacher William Miller first publicly shared his belief that the Second Coming would occur at some point between 1843 and 1844."

There were some matters in this man (or woman) made religion that were a bridge too far as the Mormons also discovered with their men having multiple wives.

LITERAL male Jews were circumcised. There is neither Greek nor Jew, etc. Paul was very clear that circumcision doesn’t matter. What DOES matter is keeping the commandments of God.

[Philsworld]

Miller was on to “something”, but it wasn’t the second coming. He correctly calculated the 2300 YEAR prophecy to October 22, 1844.

[Golden Eagle]

Jesus came to save all people, not just some. His time was selected because it was ripe to expose what had become of the previously chosen.
